Translators database error/Übersetzerdatenbankfehler

I happened to be looking at the Juraforum site and I tried their translator database. I searched for a translator from German to English, living in Germany and specializing in law.

There were three results: the second was a company in Hamburg and the third a woman in Lauf, but the first, in bold (unlike the others) was Max Mustermann. I see he also does Czech.

Doorbells and weblogs

Stuart Mudie asks in a comment to the last entry whether I’m trying to compete with Andrew Losowsky. Well, I had not seen his doorbell pictures although I had heard of Barçablog.

Anyway, I can’t say at the moment when I took my first doorbell photo, but it was before the first posted here on September 16th 2003. And I see that was about the time Andrew started noticing the Florence doorbells. On September 21 2004 he writes:

Nearly a year ago, I was wondering around Florence and found myself unnecessarily fascinated by a single aspect of that Renaissance city of incredible art and breathtaking architecture: the doorbells.

He adds a short fiction to each picture now (here’s an example – being a literal sort of person, I was disappointed by a fiction).

I am not trying to say Look I was first! I just don’t want people thinking I got the idea from a famous and trendy blogger.

Failed video of Fürth Christmas market / Fürther Weihnachtsmarkt-Video aufgegeben

I’ve abandoned attempts to upload a video. I’ve discovered I can edit Quicktime movies easily in Quicktime Pro, but I have a feeling it’s an effect of Movable Type and/or my provider’s settings that I can’t show a clip. I will wait till I have moved the weblog elsewhere, which will not be immediately.

Here are two pictures, anyway. You need to imagine the children bleating, which they began to do as soon as they saw the sheep.
