This is more of a note to self than anything else.
On my way to work, Handel’s Messiah was on the radio. I own couple different recordings of that. But this one was different. Boston Baroque and the group did another marvelous recording of this work. Other two recordings I have, one by Academy of Ancient Music, and the other by English Baroque Soloists (my first copy). But this one by Boston is still different, while keeping the Baroque style just like the other two. Very convincing, and powerful, but not heavy. I really want to check out the whole thing now, as I only heard the last 4 minutes of the entire set.

That’s what someone in IRC described of my day today. This week alone, I released 3 version 3s, and 9 version 2s. I hate releasing version 2, let alone any higher versions. That would give out impressions that we are just pumping out releases without care. And on my end, that’s what I did. When I was told that files were ready to go, I pushed them out without checking them. That’s the quality checkers’ job.
So, that’s got to change. I will have to come up with some kind of work flow for some quick checks of everything we release. We’ll see how that will turn out.
On the other front, I made another translation contribution – K-On! episode 8. The episode had another new insert song. Songs always give me good challenge to translate. Those are not my favorite.
Then, this week’s episode included 3 spots with Japanese word yoroshiku. Translating that one word gives me more headache than translating songs. Always. I got lazy (and frustrated from the other stuff going on) today, and I didn’t put any real, definitive translations. The team has relatively good comprehension of Japanese. With commonly used word like this, I hope the team will come up with something good.
