Translated by Babelfish...

I was checking out a Japanese blog entry about TiddlyWiki, and ran it
through babelfish.yahoo.com for automatic translation, and this what
came out:

--------------------------------
Just a little you were trying to try trying, when the varieties it
tries doing, it is understood that it is the tool where this is very
splendid.
--------------------------------

"... it is the tool where this is very splendid..."

That pretty much sums up TiddlyWiki. :-)

Could you send me/others the link to the blog.

Thanks.

P.S. I have been using the following site for Japanese translation:
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jwb/wwwjdic?9T
I'm not suggesting it is better, but certainly is different.

Once again, the future has proven to be a big disappointment. No
robots raking in the back yard, no colonies on the moon, no jet packs
to whisk us off to the store. Not even a foreign language translator
that works better than a random selection of phrases ... ;-)

Not at all -- three cheers for good ol' human beings -- though there
is an inexpensive robot that will vacuum your house for you, though
you'll probably have to carry it from room to room -- life right there
on good ol' mother earth, good old walking and riding -- horses or
bikes, take your pick -- and good ol' human translators. Altogether,
in many respects, unbeatable.

We really, really do have it pretty good. Why all the rush to
"improve"? After all, you do know, don't you, that the greatest single
cause of problems in the world today is -- you guessed it,
*solutions*? [For real. Check it out.]

Enjoy the rest of the weekend -- unless you happen to be in a part of
the world where it's over already, in which case just consider you
have a head start on the rest of us on next weekend.

Sincerely!
