The love of work overcomes all problems

I do not want to lie I had some few problems with my computer since the Gnome internship. For instance the other day I was working and I experienced power failure. When I had to open my computer it showed that I must repair system files.I panicked a bit but I thought to myself I am not the first person to experience this problem. I Googled the answer in my BlackBerry mobile device.

I found the answer that I should type:

“blkid followed by this command: fsck -y /dev/sda2 and then type exit”.

It worked and I got back to my work.

The conclusion is, no matter what problem I can face the love of my work in Localization (Gnome Software translation) has gave me an inspiration that there is no problem that cannot be fixed. I am still continuing with my work, thirsty to learn more and excited to see more results.

Again I say the love of work overcomes all problems!

Planning week 30-Jan to 3rd February 2012




This week I will be focusing on documentation (help file). I will focus on the help files on Mallard Format. Help files of the files I have already translated.


I will focus on one document at a time cause leaving a file half way and jump to another one does not help.


The one file that I am about to finish with its software translated is Cheese which I reserved earl yer this month although I was working with some other files.


cheese master

Cheese is a program to take pictures and videos. It has fun effects and nice view of photo stream at the side.

Proof reading and testing can takes time before I upload the po file in the Damned Lies website.
Correcting work also take some time.
