Culture: October 2006 Archives

Or Maybe I'm in Poland

|

Some magazine articles I wrote years ago were translated and redistributed abroad. Given that the products they were about were obsolete more than five years ago, this has never been a major issue, but today I received a long letter with multiple quotes from what can only be a Polish translation of an article on network backup software. I speak no Polish at all, although some things are easy enough to understand. I don't even know if this person is angry or happy or just wanted to clarify something, or even tell me that new network backup software works better.

Apparently my writing career in Eastern Europe is still doing quite well, unattended.

I Guess I Don't Exist

Or else I am abroad. You'd think that they would just ask, when I finished, whether I was in the US, so they could make their database work. Then they'd have the right number.
