Well, that's all I have to say right now!
I've seen you online a few times, but, well...
*TODAY* I'm saying hi! Hope you're ok!

Hey Ottox!
Excellent to hear from you. Haven't been around much lately; when I have I've been hovering around my own space working on the French Music project with Kes. I'm pretty much done that now I think, so I should be getting back to other stuff I had going before the hiatus (musicians guild, terran embassy...)
How are you doing?? I'm so glad you stopped by to say hi!

Oh, I'm fine thanks, though not very good at replying, it seems...
I just saw the 'columns' thread at the GuideML clinic, and thought I would remind you, that you have a Guru employeed at the Embassy!
I'm busy with a lot of other things, but the embassy is important to me, so I'll do what I can to help with it.
I've almost given up hope though. I *hate* the moderation of "foreign" languages!
Thanks for keeping the embassy alive!

Hey! Good to hear from you!
Don't worry I am just as bad if not worse about timely replies. I just responded to a friend's email a month after she'd written it, and I'm online almost every day! I felt so guilty!
Heeey, I forgot about that... although I also didn't realize that all gurus were versed in GuideML. I figured each has a specialty or something... Have you seen the page since yesterday? I think I've pretty much got the columns the way I want them. I just looked at the code for the Musician's Guild. I think I have a lot of extraneous code in there, but I don't KNOW what can be removed and still keep the same end look so... until somebody else chooses to change it, it's staying! BTW, do you have the info for accessing the new Embassy ID? I think I might have written the info in a post to Kes, but if not, or if you can't find it, let me know and I'll email it to you!
I know what you mean about giving up hope. I don't know about you, but language is my passion, so the fact that one of the places I used to go to work in other languages is now mono-(or at best bi-)lingual really REALLY put me out of sorts. really. And the way they phrase it on the non-english deleted entry pages, this doesn't look like a temporary thing. GRRRRRR!!!! I don't know what to do. At least the French pages are surviving for the most part... and bubblish too, now they've found the translator I think.
I can't think of what to do with the Embassy now. I mean, the index of entries is still useful, but its main function is now defunct
The only thing I can think of -- a suggestion of Kes' -- is that we can help translate non-english entries on the Guide into English so that they can still be included, if not in their original form.
Let me know what you think... *sigh* I guess we all have to make the best of what we're left with.

Hey!! Nice to see you How are you doing?
I haven't seen you around CP yet, I was beginning to wonder whether anyone I was really familiar with was hanging around much! hehe
Hope you're well.
