Hey folks

Still kickin, but there aren't enough hours in the day.

Do have some cyber related news though. I was able to get my hands on a copy of the french series, #12 to be exact. Surprisngly it is a hardcover with really good paper, no new stuff though. I'll try and post some pics later.

The Universe Hates My Back

So today I'm not working.

However it's because I tweaked my back to the point where standing is painfuk.

No that was not a typo.

I can work on Cybersix stuff today!

...But my laptop with the comic materials is on the other side of the house...

I make no promises unless one of you can magically teleport either my laptop to me or a punch of painkillers.

Blarg

Still alive. Still trying to translate. Will answer emails and comments when I have time.

Some New News

Heya Folks I'm still kicking. I actually got some fresh info for you all!

First of all I've updated the links on the Cybersix page. If the link for #5 still isn't working let me know and I guess I'll have to re-upload the whole the thing.

Shippo my friend the email I use for my translation stuff is still Pharmadantrans@yahoo.com.
Every 10 pages is perfectly fine, you can send them when you have the time.
Don't worry about holding me up I've been slowed down considerably by working 9 hour workdays with a half day on Friday. I haven't made nearly as much progress with the current issue of Meteorix as I would have hoped.

Larry- All of the images I have are from various sources online. Unfortunately those sources tend to only have the cover image or an individual panel.
As for the comic scans I have I'm missing at least half of the entire series, as i only have the French Volumes and a few misceleanous scans from Mexico.
I'll gladly accept any scans you have to share. I'm not quite sure where the French and Italian editions sync up exactly so there is a good chance you have something I don't.

That's all for now, with a little luck I'll be able to make some progress today with Meteorix.

Still kicking

Hey folks I'm still around and working.

Unfortunately the work has not been on translations. Mostly inventory at work, orepping grandma's house for the new renters, stuff for home, and helping my folks prepare for their trip to Cabo San Lucas.

I'll post stuff for ya when I have it.

New News For A New Year

Hiya folks have some belated New Year News for y'all.

First of is some news on your translator.

I'm doing alright; I'm working fulltime now (I believe I mentioned this before, but meh...), and it's a fairly decent job with 7-4 Monday-Thursday and half days for Friday. My only real complaint is that I need to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and drive 40+ minutes to get there on time. (That and the occassional fear that I'll be working there forever sending shirts on down to be printed/embroidered until I retire.)

Family is doing ok, nothing too unusual there.

The holidays were pretty good. I got a Nook HD that I've been playing around with a bit. (I'll have to add .epub versions of the comics to the downloads later) I got some ninja turtle stuff and Last Stand of the Wreckers in hardcover, along with the regular scattering of shirts and movies.

I had a bit of a cold over New Years and didn't even stay up for it.

Now for some translation news.

As I'm sure you've noticed I've uploaded all of Part 1 for Cybersix volume 2. If I haven't put the link on the downloads page It'll be there soon.

So that I don't get burned out I've decided to do some Meteorix translating. I recently was able to find the last two issues and possibly a non-corrupted version of a page I was missing for number seven.

I do have one minor problem though; the raw scans I have for issues one through twenty are of poor quality, making them rather hard to read and therefore translate. If there is anyone who is willing to maybe take a whack at enhancing the pages in photoshop or something so that I can read the text, I would be very greatful. And remember the faster I get through some Meteorix the quicker I'll get back to Cybersix.

That's about all I have for a you now, so I'll post more later when I have more to type about.

Cybersix Fanart

For those who are interested there is a pretty decent piece of Cyber fanart on one of the blogs I follow.

My new job is currently slowing down my efforts with Cybersix, but don't worry I'm still moving along with it.
 

Status-Problem_Loading_Task

Having a touch of computer issues at the moment.

The next Cyber release is ready and its a funny one too, but I can't upload at the moment. As soon a it is feasible for me to do so I'll post it for you all to enjoy.

Until then, continue to be patient (thanks for that by the way), and continue to browse through my previous releases (particulary Volume 1) for any errors or problems.

On a side note how do you guys feels about the size of the images? Are they too big (dimension and/or megabyte wise) or anything like that?

In The Oven

Its starting to heat up here at home. Bleh.

Been making some progress with Cybersix today. Mostly transcibing as of this post but maybe some page work later.

Life Delays

Life is shitty at moment, causing delays. Project is still ongoing. Will post stuff when it is had.

Potential Problem With Downloading

It seems like Megaupload is going kerfluey. Which means new links for downloading are going to be needed. I'll start re-uploading soon, but if anyone wants to help please do so and post the link in the comments for this post. Thanks!

Little News

Not much to report at the moment, mostly just the background parts of translating being done at the moment.

Meteorix- nothing new though the guy who's been uploading them may no longer do so due to Cease and Desist type of thing. This is really annoying as there are only 2 issues that arent online.

Cybersix- Only a chapter and a half left until volume 1 is done. I may need help with one of the pages for the final chapter. It's a near page sized letter with some of the top corner missing. I think I may need a bit of help filling in the blanks with that.

Other stuff- I may be posting crossbow pictures or some lego stuff I'm fiddling with.

Yeah other than that not much else to say.

Cooling

Things are cooling down abit here. Shouldbe translated more again soon.

4th

Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans, try not to blow yourselves up too much. To those of you dear readers who hail from elsewere... uh happy Monday?

Might still have something for tommorow but the heat and not getting as much done in Staples as I wanted may delay that. Depends on how today goes.

Guh, Humid, Tired, and Busy

Great Zombie Cthulhu it is like walking through a gym shower outside. Graduation stuff is done but I'm still busy for the coming week. Boss lady has scheduled me for Tuesday through Saturday due to other workers dealing with Graduations and another going on a trip. So don't expect too much of a change right now. Currently translation plans are a possible page tonight MAYBE, and a potential upgrade to Meteorix #1on Friday since that is not quite as strenous or intensive work. Thus it is more probable to get done than other Cybersix translations or new Meteorix issues.

Also I just have to say Plants Vs Zombies is awesome. I picked up the DS version so I could have something simple to do to kill time inbetween various things since my regular stuff would be too time consuming. It is highly addictive and scary cute. The ending song and music video are just hilariously awesome. Highly reccemended.

Oh cool!

Was just looking through my stats and noticed from the page views bit that a lot of my traffic is now coming from the Cybersix COMIC page on tvtropes. Somebody made a seperate page for the comic and linked me right at the end of the description... AWESOME!

Once more I apologise for my lack of presence and progress, but my life has been busy lately. New job, brother graduating highschool, other brother moving back home from the dorms, mom planning surgery, grandma cleaning out old house, etc etc...

Any way here is another Cybersix 13 page that I just finished translating.

Apologies

Due to the combination of being trained in on my new job, my new 3ds, and various family stuff, I haven't been able to do much in the way of translating. Sorry everyone. Until things settle down a bit it is unlikely I can get much done so for now enjoy these pages I have finished.

Blessed Are The Pizza Makers, Blessed Am I

So yeah I finally have a job now. I make pizzas at Belly's in Dilworth MN. What really tickles the funny bone is that it is right next to a fitness place. No I don't think that this will affect the translations.

Meteorix issue 2 translation- 65%

Zonked out

Sorry I haven't been to chatty lately. Getting up early for the study at Pracs/Cetero is starting to be a real drain. It's not the only reason though, I've been experimenting with various settings for my Meteorix translations, and having a fair bit of succsess. I have a better font now, and the colors are much nicer. Eventually I will take what I have learned and apply it to issue 1, but not right now. I want to get farther along and more settled with my technique before I do that.

I'm not certain on how well the tricks I've learned will apply to the Cybersix translations or if I will even need them for that. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Current translation status is-
+Meteorix 2 about 20%
+Cybersix 12 has not been started yet.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Little bit about me you may not know, I collect Transformers. But since the Fargo Moorehead area of ND and MN is essentially bumfuck nowhere as far a distributors are concerned it takes forever to get anything new other than the first few waves of toys completely skipping other waves and barely getting any of the later waves. However we are finally getting a few (very few) things I've been waiting months for. I pretty much only need to track down the new Wreckgar and Lugnut figs to obtain all the ones I want. So I am happy that I will be stopping with the obtaining of Bakugan in clearance isles as a stopgap.

Further more I am actually going to be getting some money. I've been accepted into a medical study at Pracs and can get up to $1000. Only problem is I have to drive about 30 miles every day for a few weeks to get there and another 30 back home... And since its early in the morning translations may be slowed a bit depending on how tired I am and what else I need to do that day.

Hopefully my next post will have something more interesting for you all.
