We are moving forward with Lupin vs Conan fansub. In fact, it’s really close to getting done. But doing a joint project without effective communication is really hard. This was a lesson learned the very hard way. I really should have known. I should have been more careful about it. We could have prevented some amount of delay with more careful communications. So, I spent some non-productive time on Lupin today.
Other productive stuff included finishing off the karaoke for Candy Boy; installing WordPress 2.8 beta on the test-copy of this site (the changes I’ve seen so far are pretty cool); and finally finished setting up cron jobs for frostii.com web site. The cron jobs are grabbing the XDCC bots’ pack lists. Now that the crons are properly set up, I’ll be releasing the new version of the bot listing soon. I’ll write more about it when I finish releasing it.

Earlier this week, I made a plan to drive up to Kansas City for some stuff, including see my daughter in her school talent show. But the project I was assigned to yesterday at work is not allowing me to take that trip. I stayed at work until it got outside, not from the nightfall, but from thunder storm. That’s always fun. No tornado again this time.
The rest of the evening was spent doing fansub stuff: answered translation questions for K-On and Candy Boy; applied styles to Candy Boy script, worked on karaoke for Candy Boy; and released Eden of the East.
It looks like Lupin vs Conan is pretty close to being ready for release. I’ve been informed that the first release candidate will be ready tomorrow. That’s a good news. I’ve also been informed that the current translator for Sengoku Basara, ariato, is going to step down from that position. That’s a bad news. I hope we’ll find someone else soon, and not to drop the project. I’m really not fond of dropping projects. I can only hope…
