Yes, I know… It’s shameful, really, how long it has taken me to post anything. It seems to be the nature of the way this blog will work, however. 
Hopefully you’ll stay tuned.
Today I thought I’d note a couple of items that might be of interest to people.
First, as Editor of the ATA Language Technology Division newsletter, I am accepting submissions until April 20th for our next issue to come out in May. I currently have some great articles about SDL Trados 2006, Lingo, and Pootle. As well, I’m waiting to receive a column of Trados Tips that will be ongoing, perhaps a review of WindowBlinds and DeltaView, and we’re working on coming up with a template of features for comparing different CAT tools. It’s shaping up to be quite a newsletter! If you’re a member of division and would like to submit, drop me a note.
Also, as Vice-Pesident, Ontario, of the Literary Translators Association of Canada, we’re gearing up for a really great seminar and AGM this summer at the Banff International Literary Translation Centre. I’m taking the names of Association members who are interested in taking part in the panel “Translating Cultural Contexts”, so do e-mail me if that interests you.
It seems, somehow, that many of my volunteer activities are taking nearly as much time as my actual paying work. But it’s not a complaint really, I love being involved in the profession, doing different things. I just hope I can keep it all in balance.
