Moving On
Much as I love blogger, I have to keep up with the Joneses and prove what a serious netizen I am by setting up my own, so I'm moving Swing Your Hips to a new location. It's also so I can find out more about how some of the advanced blogging stuff works.
I've also set up a Phil-style wiki for longer pieces.
Incidentally anyone else who's called Crossan can have a blog or site here if they want just mail me steve dot crossan atsign gmail dot com.

Idea for an alternative way to do automatic translation: use an existing body of human-translated texts and search for matching bits of text to translate. This could be phrase or sentence-length. Also look for close matches and substitute dictionary translations of unmatched words. Of course context would mess this up badly but it might be more readable than current efforts. Someone probably doing it like this (but much smarter) already.
