    I has a new 3D Vision ready monitor,
    As well as a spiffy new 3D vision 3 kit and was playing Skyrim in 3D.
    On top of other games.
    (And then I got headaches. :derpe:)

    That aside,
    Merch is cool.
    Almost like fezzes and bow ties.

    Looking at freelance translation, the average job is around 10,000 words, with prices being €0.07 per word. That gives me roughly €700 per job. Freelance programming seems to be based on price, with the average bid being at £1,000-ish. That equates to around €1,200 per job. Now it's simply a matter of which is more difficult. I've found this tool which allows me to 'cheat' translation - http://www.translationzone.com/en/translator-products/sdl-trados-studio-freelance/default.asp - but does that necessarily mean it will be easier?

    Perhaps I could do a bit of both?

    Now I'm looking at the average salary for a Finnish man, which is €3,288 per month. I will need to match that if I'm to become successful. All I need to know now is how long each job takes. If a translation job takes only 1 or 2 days, where programming takes a week, then obviously translation will be the better option. Of course, if they both take a week per job, then programming will rake in more cash. As I say, though, I could do both and become exhausted.

    Wait, why am I planning my life at this age?

    Off of odd programming jobs.

    Hey everypony, im sure most of you dont know who i am, but for those who do, I wont be as active for a while as you may have already seen. some stuff had occurred recently and it has really effected me, and effected me more than i could have thought possible. i don't want anyon to worry, so don't think that anything is going to happen to me or anything that could be dangerous to my well being. i just wanted to let you know of my absence.

    And for that one pony, yes you know who you are, this is something absolutely different.

    Disregarding the few hour gap, I'd just like to announce that I'm bored as hell at six in the morning. -.-

    Someone add me on Skype or something while I'm asleep. *sleeps*

    Dude, I had the same sort of thing happen here lol.

    I barely ate anything over the few days surrounding christmas, and got full very fast. Which was disappointing seeing as there was soooo much yummy food to eat :sigh:

    I'm mostly better, I just have a smaller stomach now, meaning I eat significantly less than what I normally eat to feel full.

    What? They are going to do it like they did Adventure Time and lots of other tv shows, where they break it up into multiple dvds to get more money. :( That's not cool.

    Would it make you feel any better if they promise to use the money to make more episodes?

    Also, I'm feeling a little under the weather, too. Naturally, it's my days off.
