Lets work on blog!project! - ARCHIVED - SEE FIRST POST FOR IMPORTANT INFO AND LINKS

[kurikaesu]

[quote name='TnB' timestamp='1319223260' post='110958']

The Reborn blogs are now finished. I've translated all of Kanon's entries as well as the the Erina ones rob didn't have time to do.



Do we want to have an archive of all of the other girls, or would we rather just wait until they (hopefully) get permanent blogs? It seems like most of Erina and Kanon's were just "we had a show today! here's a picture of me and other people yay!" so if the rest are like that, I'm not sure it's worth it. But it's possible they're more interesting. What do you guys think?



If people want them to get done, I can help kurikaesu with some of the girls. Other than that, what blogs are left that we need translators for (or that people might need help with)? Sayu has slowed down lately, and with Kago on hiatus/over and Kikka being boring, I have time for one more.

I'm working on sayashi's right now~ If you have time, maybe you can look at kudou's or fukumura's to see if they're worth it. If not, I think I can get them done this weekend.

[tsukinobyouin]

Wada is actually my least favorite person in the entirety of H!P, so I won't be taking over her permanently ^^; But I don't mind doing a post here or there to help out until someone else can take over.



I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon to go on a trip for work and will be back late Tuesday night. I might have some time Sunday night to do some Sayu translations, but I won't be able to translate at all Monday and Tuesday. I can pick up what I missed when I get back, but if anyone wants to translate some of Sayu's entries while I'm away please feel free.



kurikaesu - Kudou has some interesting posts, and surprisingly Fuku-chan lets out her interesting side online xD I won't be able to get to either until I get back from the trip, but if you haven't gotten to them by then I'd be glad to help :)

@strawberryjam

With the plugin, I just have to concentrate on translating which speed up things a bit. Even without the pictures, it does help out a lot (like filling the custom fields). I will say the plugin is worth it.



It just a minor inconveniences and not urgently needed. Just take your time with it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

No problem. I'll be taking a look at it soon. I know it will definitely help you to catch up so hopefully in a couple days. If not, during the weekend at the very least. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

Sorry, I won't be able to get to it this weekend. On Friday, I was scheduled for an interview on Monday. So on or after Monday. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> Sorry that it's been 2 weekends in a row I didn't do it. I had a lot to catch up on with projecthello/other b!p stuff last week. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[rokun]

With Yuuka's graduation announcement, I'm sure the other girls will be posting some blog entries since we've not heard from them yet... I'd try to pick up Ayaka's, but I'll probably be a bit busy tomorrow. Can you pick it up, TnB? At least for a day or two after this announcement. ^^; If not, I can try to get it tomorrow or the day after.



Edit: Well, Ameba seems to have been down for pretty much the last 24 hours or so, so maybe no need to worry about these blogs <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I've sure had less to do today because of that... I'm surprised it was up long enough last night for me to get Yuuka's announcement done.

[tsukinobyouin]

I just got home so I can't work on anything tonight, but I'll be able to catch up tomorrow morning. I'll do Sayu's first, and if anyone else's hasn't been done yet by then I can grab theirs as well. :)

[tsukinobyouin]

Just re-read my post. I meant "anyone else that doesn't have a translator" xD Which I think is just Wada, now that we have tangerine?



Anyway, Sayu and Wada's Yuuka entries are up. I'll keep looking out for more Wada entries on the subject. If anyone else has an entry up and we don't have a translator for them, let me know.

[al kusanagi]

Maimi did an entry about Yuka as well and we don't really have a translator for her.

I checked it out and I couldn't get it to work. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> I left a comment on the plugin author's website so maybe I'll get an answer. I think it may have broken from updating to a new Wordpress and it's not quite compatible now.

[rokun]

Since it seems other people can access Ameba's website... I'm guessing there's some issue with me being able to access it through my university's network, which is mainly where I do these translations. It's odd though that I have no problems with other sites like Gree, and I'm not getting email updates from new Ameba posts either (I see from other translations that Ai-chan at least has certainly been blogging, and I should have gotten those emails).



For the time being I guess that means I'll be mainly sticking to C-ute's Gree blog. If I can see Captain's at home I'll try to keep up with hers too since I really would like to be able to and her entries go pretty quick. I also might try doing more of Maimi's Gree posts, like her Yuukarin post. I'll let you know if anything changes...

[strawberryjam]

I could help copy/paste the posts as drafts for you? I wouldn't prep them per se. Saki uses a billion emoticons. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[rokun]

^ That could help, I suppose. I could then do the translations here and maybe add emoticons quickly when I get home. If you'd like to, go ahead with both Sakis and Yuuka, and maybe Reina if she isn't posting too much. Though it'd be okay to not do Nakajima I guess since not a lot of her posts have a lot of substance to them, and she does have the Gree <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



I'm planning to get up to date with Yuuka and Saki Shimizu at home this evening though, so don't worry about starting until posts from the 27th.



As this goes on, I have a vague memory of this kinda thing happening at some point in the past too, and whatever issue was fixed after a few days... I hope that's the case this time as well *crosses fingers*

[Ragen]

@strawberry

That's too bad about the plugin. At least it's still functioning.



Since I've managed to catch up with Nacchi's, I am thinking of doing Ogawa Mana's blog. Is there an automatic post prepping for Ameba? Let me know how to get about it.



Cheers

I miss your Ogamana blog translations, it would be awesome if you picked it up again. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

[/quote]

Great! But no, there isn't a plugin for Ameba or anything. I might be able to make it work so imports the text at least or it imports texts and pictures, but you have to upload the pictures still otherwise they'd be hotlinked.



Anyways, maybe I'll be able to get to that this weekend. However, what should Ogawa Mana's color be and what kind of icon? I have no idea about TNX. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> Maybe it'd be OK to have a TNX-wide icon for the future (?)?

[tsukinobyouin]

I'm not sure of OgaMana's color (I'm sure someone else knows), but I think a TNX-wide icon would be fine. Technically she's a part of Canary Club, so there could be an icon specific to that group, but I just don't see us picking up enough TNX blogs to need icons for each group.

[Juju]

Canary Club doesn't have any official member colors as far as I know, I had to make them up for color-coding lyrics. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> (THE Possible however have two different sets of colors.) If you want to use my colors I use #00ccff for Mana. If you're just going to do it by group they do have official group colors - Canary Club is orange (#FF6600) and THE Possible is red (#FF0000).

[Ragen]

@strawberryjam

It will be nice if you can import the texts, will make it easier for me.



With regards to icon, TNX-wide is fine. As TNB said, unless we pick up more TNX blog, it's best to just leave it as TNX-wide. Unless we get more translator... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' /> (here's hoping).

I remember why it doesn't work well now. It can only import 1 entry at a time. If the plugin checks every 2 hours, but Ogawa makes 2 posts within 30 minutes, I think it will miss the first post. This wouldn't be a good idea, I think?



Is there a different way I can view ameblo so there's more than 1 entry on the page? If there was, that would fix the problem.



Other than that, Ogawa Mana's category is ready. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Not sure what that's about. I guess it's the feed server messing up. I hope it later re-imported that post? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />







I'm going to be starting a full time job soon. So I will have less time to spend on blog!project, unfortunately.. I'm sure it will be fine as long as nothing explodes. I just won't be able to be on the BBS 24/7. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



@rokun, I won't be able to copy and paste Saki's entries for you after all. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[tsukinobyouin]

The auto-post prepper seems like more trouble than it's worth. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> I've been self-prepping Sayu's entries lately if there are a lot to do (setting up the post with the pictures and emoji and Japanese text, saving as a draft, and coming back to do the translations later when I have more time) and it really only takes a few minutes. It seems more practical to just have us do our own entries (unless another human being is available to prep like aine was doing in the past) than to have Berry constantly having to fix the thing =/



That's just my opinion, though, having never used it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Anyway, the Halloween banner is super cute!

[rokun]

@berry: That's okay, I don't think it's gonna be too bad to just do them when I get home in the evenings, or at least prep them so I can get them set during the day. Captain's posts are generally pretty quick to do anyway.



I may not be able to keep up (at least fully) with Yuuka's though, in case anyone else wants to jump on it...





Oh, and grats on your job Berry!!! :D

[Ragen]

@strawberryjam

If it's too much trouble then it's okay. Just looking for ways to make things easier, since I'm very lazy <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

After doing a couple of Mana's posts, it doesn't really matter whether I have it or not.



Anyway, have fun with your job <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[kaitodoraemon]

Hi guys. Just wanna inform I'll have to be taking some time off from Ai chans blog translations from today until mid-December. This is due to me preparing for my very final examination of my student life. Will begin a Hellish study schedule from now on.



I'm sorry for any inconveniences m(_ _)m

[tsukinobyouin]

As long as her posts stay short, I can take over Takahashi until you get back :)

[kaitodoraemon]

^

I assume you are referring to her previously long Q&A posts XD Which lead to me delaying those translations before ^^;



Thank you very much! I appreciate that :D

[kurikaesu]

I can help out with Takahashi's as well if needed <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />

[strawberryjam]

I will be starting work on Monday. In addition, I'll finally get to visit my family in the States! aine and I will be gone from November 19th - November 29th. Unfortunately, my mom doesn't have internet. So it's gonna be depressing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[rokun]

This is probably a simple question to those who've lived a lot in Japan... >_< but does anyone know what ガッツリ系 signifies? Like a ガッツリ系 hamburger shop? It's from this post by Saki: http://ameblo.jp/shimizu--saki/entry-11066798712.html

[tsukinobyouin]

Well, first of all, ハンバーグ is not a hamburger - that would be ハンバーガー. "ハンバーグ" generally translates to "hamburg steak" and is kind of like meatloaf.



As for ガッツリ系, I believe it generally refers to food that is really hearty, heavy, a ton of food, etc. ガッツリ系ラーメン seems to refer to ramen that has a lot of big thick noodles and is piled high with toppings, especially meat. I believe it's sort of similar to what we might call "manly" food in the States - a big juicy steak or something. In the case of the hamburg (and the fat she mentions "あぶらすごくてガッツリ系") I'd say they're probably talking about a place that serves really thick hamburg steaks with lots of fat inside.

[rokun]

^ All right, thanks ^^ I think that makes sense. And it's still a hamburger to me lol... just not the sandwich. XD That I did learn while in Japan. I'll throw steak on there to try to avoid confusion though (since we don't really have those in America...)
