Hi, for a translator this simply doesn’t work. Very often you don’t find the correct translation of a word in a dictionary but have to google a lot, fish through specialized websites, companies’ websites, translators’ websites… because the languages evolve, and paper dictionaries just don’t ;-)
Wow, I just found an exception to your rule :-)

@John: thanks for the comment. I myself waste too much time on this blog — I don’t feel like it’s a waste, as I love doing it, but I do have two other jobs to worry about. :)

This is something I need to do more of. Online there are always new feeds, emails, and other distractions. Its hard to stay productive.

I agree completely, Leo. Getting a laptop with wireless really spoiled this one study space I used to use where there were no ethernet jacks. Once I committed to switching off wireless in that space, things got a lot better. I wrote about this experience in a post on my site: Personal productivity, time logs, and the Internet-free workspace.

I wholeheartedly agree – the internet is the biggest time waster, and distraction, ever invented!

Now if I could just bring myself to reach…for…the…(gasp)…modem…cable…
