I have recently written how much I enjoy translating comic books. One of the best thing about them is that they come in series. And once they come out, they are released in regular intervals, so I receive a new issue every 1-2 months. Sadly, it also means that the end of the series is...

As an advocate of lifelong learning, I like to enrol on various courses and expand my competences. I used to limit myself to humanities, but recently I have come to realise that a humanist doesn’t necessarily have to be computer-illiterate. Late as it may be, I have decided to explore IT.
