Another day and another one bites the dust. Literally.
After work I had to attend a short meeting given by a department head justifying why a person was retrenched. As i'm still unclear as to whether or not I should be talking about things so i'm going to back up a little bit and talk about my day.
In a word, it was enlightening. A lot of work goes into writing what initially appears to be relatively simply knowledgebases. The language has to be clear, written to a certain standard of writing and clearly laid out. Allow me to give an example.
If I were to write "Select the desired option from the menu", the knowledgebase that sentence resides in could eventually be translated into other languages. As this is done largely by a computer program, it might be loosely translated in say Mandarin as "Choose the option that you love from the menu". In the grand scheme of things this probably wouldn't matter as all translations are validated by a native speaker, but its still additional work that should not have to be done in the first place.
As you can imagine, my first KB took some amount of preparation.
After work I gave myself and little 1-UP a quick workout then proceede to purchase a few Monsterpocalypse boosters. I've been having rotten luck! At least I have a bunch of doubles I can trade. Hopefully i'll be able to have a bit more variety in my playstyle. I'm getting tired of playing Terra Khan and Cthugrosh.
Blech....
