[geodesic 00169] Re: empty chair
Bob Burkhardt
philosophy. I often strive for equal-length struts, but he's right often
one gets more interesting effects by working with non-equal lengths as I
found with skew structures. Now what I want to figure out is how he
keeps that beautiful circle at one end while the other end undulates
magnificently. I will meditate on Google's translation of his ellipse
formula.

"get nowhere" must mean something like "discontinuous," or like you say
"don't touch". But really I'm not curious enough to quiz him on it. He
puts his email on his site. You can quiz him. Like the machine says "It
can always complicated but for saying it." I'm hoping to get something
out of the translation of the ellipse technique. How's this for a way of
testing how translatable your site is: do a round trip; translate into
Dutch and then back into English. If it comes back the same, you are
probably doing well.

"falen" moet betekenen zoiets als "discontinue", of zoals je zegt "niet
aanraken". Maar ik ben echt niet nieuwsgierig genoeg om hem op deze quiz.
Hij zet zijn e-mail op zijn site. U kunt de quiz hem. Net als de machine
zegt: "Het kan altijd ingewikkeld, maar voor het zeggen." Ik hoopte te
krijgen iets uit de vertaling van de ellips techniek. Hoe is dit voor een
manier van testen hoe uw site wordt vertaald: doe een rondvaart; vertalen
naar het Nederlands en dan weer terug naar het Engels. Als hij terug komt
hetzelfde, ben je waarschijnlijk doet het goed.
"failure" should mean something like "discontinuous", or as you say "no
touch". But I'm really not curious enough to quiz him on this. He puts
his e-mail on its site. You can quiz him. Like the machine says: "It is
always complicated, but the shots." I was hoping to get something from
the translation of the ellipse technique. How is this a way of testing
how your site is translated: do a round trip; translated to English and
then back into English. If he comes back the same, you are probably doing
well.
