Working on several platforms
19/04/10 07:59
For years, I’ve worked with multiple operating systems. And even though I spent a lot of time, localizing Windows Vista into Norwegian, I never used Vista as a production platform. I’ve stayed with XP until recently, and despite it being a reasonably stable platform, I encountered far more production stops because of Windows, than from OS X. I therefore installed Windows 7 a while ago (I turned down the offer to be a part of the localization team for 7, as I truly detest LocStudio), only to find out that it’s still not as stable as I would like an OS to be. I believe that most of my problems stem from my Trados installations, but whatever the case, I’ve done three clean installs of Windows 7, and I’m still experiencing issues that I never do on my MacPro. It’s not likely that Trados will migrate to OS X any time soon, so I’ll just keep up my quest for suitable CAT tools on my Macs. Wordfast Pro has been tested and ditched, and the next one out is Heartsome. Been thinking of giving their software a try for many years, but I’ve never had the time to do so. As a matter of fact, I’ve never ever spent a day without work in all the years since I started out - not even the recession of last year managed to change that fact - boy, I’m blessed!
New design

Been experimenting a bit with a new design for the web site, as the old one was due for an overhaul. Not sure if the new one looks cool or geeky - hit me up if you have a strong opinion on this!
