Comment on The Foibles of Learning French by Unrequited Love

hehe, the perils of learning a foreign language I am learning Thai right now, and there are a lot of fine distinctions where the same word can mean different things depending upon tonality – so instead of “beautiful”, it might mean “unlucky”. Which of course can lead to a lot of misunderstanding…

Yes, we would like to do it again next year. I was surprised how well organised the event was and how much of a difference the bike tour seems to make for MS and for the community.

Excellent! Hope you enjoyed it. The “drive by” photos were not so bad – actual subjects in the photos and not shots of sky or road…. I like your captions, by the way….
Will you do it again next year?

Susan

Hi … I love these books. But you did indeed need a lot of time. Your plugin says you started reading it in March 2007. Wow brother. That’s a long time. Check out the books of Simon Singh. Fermat’s Theorem and Big Bang are books which you might like.

Hello, Doug. Thanks for the information…I didn’t think that anyone read my blog. That explains the brochures and who would have thought that craft fair goers were so concerned about politics?

The petition is on the website at http://www.fairvote.ca/files/FVAPetition.pdf.

Thanks for signing the petition. We really appreciate your support.

The response we received at the fair was much larger than we expected. We ran out of Fair Vote Alberta brochures, but still had Fair Vote Alberta fact sheets and Fair Vote Canada brochures.

I noticed that on debian etch that your warning about the two lines to be added to enable the saslauthd daemon get mentioned when you apt-get install it now.

* To enable saslauthd, edit /etc/default/saslauthd and set START=yes

so maybe they listened, or picked it up somewhere else

Hi, Chris. It’s me. I got a new job recently as well in Tianjin, North of China. The company is joint-venture. Tianjin government owns 65% of it. Tianjin branch of National Software and Integrated Circuit Public Platform, belonging to Ministry of Information Industry of China will be built in the end of the year.
My title is the director assistant of the branch.

My daughter is almost one-year-old. She can call me “dad” only or “hug me mam” now.
