Yeah. :-}

"The blacksmith with a wooden spoon" a Spanish saying goes. Me telling 
everybody to make backups, then having a too old one. Serves me right.

My crash happened because as a result of plugging in a new HD to help with 
backups the flat ribbon 80 pin cable was probably damaged and caused some 
partitions to be horribly damaged... before I could do the backup I 
intended :-(


Right, just fired an rsync of the /home part. O:-)

No, I tried to abbreviate my labels. The point is, it is difficult for the 
translator to know when string length is limited and how much. In those 
cases, a note to the translators like "this length <--------------->" 
would be very handy ;-)

At the moment, 22/567 messages, including the license. There are 447 fuzzy 
(_very_ fuzzy), and 97 untranslated. I'll have a compile run this evening, 
I think. Now I have to get busy cutting a tree the last storm felled. Real 
life, you know ;-)
