NCN: A few items

If any of you are inspired to translate the "We are the New Civilization"
text I did recently into other languages, feel free to volunteer. Javier
Cosp in Paraguay did a Spanish version, and I'm working on a Danish version.

The English one is at http://www.worldtrans.org/ncn/weare.html
and the Spanish at http://www.worldtrans.org/ncn/weare-sp.html

Just to warn you, translating a text like that isn't necessarily
straightforward, both capturing the meaning and making it sound good in the
target language. I realized the difficulty when I started putting it into
Danish, which is after all my native tongue.

If nothing else, I would really appreciate having just the phrase "We are
the New Civilization" in as many languages as possible.

Well, NCNers... the Traveller's Aide Society is at a great start of
22...

If you sent a message to mjohnson@america.net and it bounced back
"undeliverable", I apologize. I am a programmer and was writing a
custom-client protocol, and crashed my ISP (oops..) they graciously removed
my account. (I'm lucky they didn't do more.)

At any rate, my new account is

                mjohnson@deltabtg.com

please send any new information, want-to-joins, etc to that address.

Also, for anyone interested I have found 10 cents a minute (U.S.) calling
cards, and have seen some new pre-paid fuel cards as well. Still looking
into airfare and similar type discounts.
