Are you getting too much SPAM? It may be your own fault

You can read the Greek translation here.

The Importance of Communication
By Jacaranda Bill
Rent a Coder Coder

Are you a "heads-down coder" (a coder who is used to receiving specs and just coding without having to interact or communicate with the end user)? Jacaranda Bill once was. He learned since then the importance of communication, and has some great advice on the difference between being a "heads-down coder" and being an independent consultant on Rent a Coder...advice that will make you more succesful from bidding to customer satisifaction.

Translation Tools

JB Translation Editor - Version 1.00
This is a free, simple but effective editor, especially made for translations. Initially, I created it to help me update the 7-Zip's Greek translation. Now, I am using this tool for my other translation projects currently in progress (Games: Cult I, Cult II).

If you find this program useful, please send me an email just to inform me about what program you are translating. I am planning to add more features to the program (for example: ms word spelling support) if requested.

The main features of the program are:
  • Supports UTF-8 encoded files.
  • Allows you to load two files next to each other, very useful to locate the new lines.
  • It helps you to keep the original layout of a file by editing only one line at a time.
  • You can set a maximum characters per line limit.
