Un Pequeño Agradecimento

07 Sep

Not sure if the phrase “A Little Thanks” is used a lot in Spanish speaking places, but that’s what I want to do :)

I did Spanish for a number of years (I believe it was 5, in total), and I enjoyed it, though I never really tried…to this day I’m surprised I did as well as I did in the subject. Recently on a trip to London, I spoke a little bit of Spanish, and read a short story entirely in Spanish – as the person I was staying with has learnt from colleagues at work, thus, had that book.

However I’ve kept it up since returning, I’ve even changed my Facebook language back from ‘English (Pirate)’ (that was a good 9 months though!) into ‘Espa√±ol (Espa√±a)’ which is helping me remember things…though Facebook notifications are pretty standard. So the main thanks I have to give are to the Spanish speak sub-forums on the Ubuntu Forums. For the main part, this includes the Argentina & Chile LoCo Teams – I’ve been reading threads in there, and for a large part, understanding them. It’s helping quite a lot, and for that – thanks for having your forums, & such a good LoCo team!

Facebook Easter Eggs?

27 Jan

Now…I don’t know if this would technically be classed as an easter egg, nor how long it has been an option…but it’s publically available, easy to find (if you take the time to check), and absolutely awesome.

I have the language on my facebook account set to English (Pirate). Yes, you did read that right! My friend Rich told me about it on IM, so I had a look….It’s absolutely brilliant, it adds a new dimension to Facebook (if only in finding out what things mean again!). I don’t think I’m likely to change it back either, it makes me laugh.

It’s hard to put it into words, so take a look at the screenshot below :D
