Without thinking twice
I began reading Sebastian Delmont's Zonageek blog a few months ago upon discovering his MTMail utility. MTMail powers MovableType blogging by email, and allows me to post camera-phone images I take while on the move (my moblog).
Today breaking for lunch and a Zonageek entry, Teclado en español, or Keyboard in Spanish, (he writes in both English and Spanish,) I read of Sebastian's frustrations with keyboard layouts. Neither international nor English keyboards suit his needs effectively.
At the end of last year (a finales del año pasado) Microsoft released a tool to alter keyboard layouts. Describing his haste in downloading and trying out the utility, Sebastian writes,
Ni corto ni perezoso la bajé y empecé a jugar con ella.
Confident I understood his meaning, but not being familiar with the phrase, (Ni corto ni perezoso is literally, Neither short nor lazy,) I used babelfish to translate for me. The result?
Without thinking twice I lowered it and I began to play with her.
Que fuerte...
