Sorry, sorry, it always seems to be me who asks. But I am starting to jones bad for the next chapter. Is there a prob? Are you still doing the translation?
I can't find 'em anywhere else.

I forget which thread it was, but recently Neil confessed that his laptop was stolen--with all his stuff for the site on it. So, I imagine that we just have to be patient. He is doing this *voluntarily*, after all.

It's near the end of the "10 years of YKK - chapter 120 (no spoilers)" thread. I feel bad for Neil. I had my iMac stolen shortly after moving into my new house a couple of years ago, and I lost a lot of information. I'm still angry about it.
So yeah, I'm being patient. I know Neil will be able to get this site back on track eventually, but in the meantime, he has more important things to concern himself with.

Steve, this is almost completely OT, but can we start calling you 'Yngvi' now?

Rob,
I don't know what an Yngvi is, the web only tells me its either an scandinavian king or a unix command line for sniffing out files on a webserver.
Either way, I don't understand the reference. Two points to you for proving you are smarter than me.
I found the other link shortly after I posted mine, so, yeah, I guess the pilfering of the computer is a bit of a stumbling block for neild. Was there ever a collection? Maybe if we all chip in we can buy him a new laptop so he can get back to work satiating our needs.
I know several women who adore YKK, not the least of which is the fabulous Svetlana Chmakova. I think they must be out there somewhere.

What did it mean? (Yngvi) please tell me.
- John_Silver
Monday, September 13, 2004
Well,
if you use Rot-13 on 'yngvi' it morphs into 'lativ', which is backward for 'vital''.
Kinda interesting, but I still don't see any pun.%-)
Enlighten us, please...

Well... I *could* say 'just google it', but you have, and I am not *quite* that nasty.
What I will do is give a link to the definitive source:
http://www.sfwa.org/News/ldecamp.htm
and
http://fanac.org/Fannish_Reference_Works/Fancyclopedia/Fancyclopedia_I/y.html
I will also say that it is a) very fannish, and b) very silly.

Thanks for clarification. I fondly remember Sprague de Camp's novels from some 30+ years back, but "Yngvi" as part of a statement is new to me - I've never been on any fanfic conventions.;-)

Still, it would be reassuring to hear something from Neild himself, just to make sure that he didn't get run over by a bus or something equally liveshortening.
Hey, owner, don't forget!

Oh, is that it? That is probably the source for the Unix app yngvi Apache delouser.
It's probably related.
What does "fannish" mean?

Howdy,
The anxious wait for new chapters seems to be building to a fever pitch. I just received an email asking if I had my own translations for the new chapters I could pass out. Unfortunately, I don't. I *can* go ahead and translate them, but it makes me feel like I'm stepping on Neil's toes.
However, see as how Neil hasn't dropped a line to let us know what is going on, here is what I propose: If someone scans the chapters, I will provide a translation. Yes, I do have copies of Afternoon myself, but I hate scanning and I'm going to fall into a temporal rift tomorrow morning and not come out till late Sunday anyway.
Then, when Neil does re-appear, we will all pretend like this never happened, right?
Best,
Dave

I have a scanner, but I do not have copies of the recent Afternoon mangas. Is there a way we can get the pages and my scanner into the same space-time continuum?
I live in San Jose, CA.

Since I buy Afternoon magazine every month (I just picked up the Octorber issue, haven't had a chance to look at chapter 122 yet), a text translation is all I've ever needed. But I know there are others who don't have access to Afternoon. I certianly hope Neil would understand if someone else started scanning YKK. After all, this website was created by Neil for the sole purpose of sharing his love of YKK. If he's temporarily unable to do it, it only makes sense for someone else to step up.
(I don't have a scanner by the way. So I can't help there.)

Well, you could take a razor blade to the mangas...
(cue Psycho music)
and mail me the pages for scanning.

Next, someone will start drawing the new chapters because Asinano-san is too slow.
