I registered to the forum just to thank you all very very much for translating the Haruhi series. I have read only the first book, and seen the anime series.
The rest of the books I'm saving for this summer. I will go to excavate in Romania, with absolutely no entertainment there available. Nothing at all. Just the Romanian countryside, with no internet, no telephone, no television, nothing.
So...I put all the Haruhi books on my iPod. Now let's hope Book 9 is finished within the next two months or so
Anyway, these books will really help me get through fieldwork this summer. Thanks so much for doing all this work!
So you are going to Romania, eh? I've been there, too. I loved it. Exactly, if you don't mind, are you going to excavate? I mean, a lot of ruins and stuff exist there, but there is so much more, too, i.e., fossils, etc. Also, I hope you can get internet there and stuff. I remember in some of the larger cities and sometimes some smaller towns you could. Who knows, these things are always changing. It was cool and fun.
Excavating only I'm afraid. I will not have a car there, and no other means of transportation (I simply lack the money to use a cab or much public transportation, and I hardly have any time as I need to work a lot). Hopefully I'll visit Romania another time.
I'm sure there's no internet, and not even a telephone line, where I'll be staying. It really is the countryside, hours away from cities. It's clearly stated in the project description that participants need to be able to keep themselves busy. With an iPod Video 80 GB, and an iPod Photo 20 GB full of audiobooks, lectures, music, video's and of course texts (filmscripts, articles) that'll be no problem for me. The 8 Haruhi books are a great addition to this, and perhaps I'll be able to bring the 9th one too
Well, I hope your excavation goes well then. By the sound of it, is it a school project by chance? I do not mean to be nosy or anything; it is just that these kinds of things interest me. Also, I hope you can find a decent power source as well, especially because I do not know how the outlets in Romania stack up to those in the Netherlands...different shapes and all.

seems like your be worried more about how your going to charge those devices then what's on them. :p
I like this portable solar cells and motion dynamo chargers, strapped to your backpack/shoulders.
works a treat when all the sockets on the portable generators been taken up by more vital equipment and your batteries on yuor devices are threatening to go.

It is a project ran by several British Universities. There's staff from Kings College (University of London) and from Cambridge. I'll be the only Dutchie there (I'm a student at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands).

Yes, charging them is my main concern. They're filled up pretty well with e-books and audiobooks, so I won't be bored as long as they keep working. iPods charge on a widely ranging voltage, so that's good news. In the Netherlands we use 220 V, but 180 or something would work fine too. I also have this universal travel-plug thing, but I haven't found a plug that says 'Romania' or 'Balkan' or 'Eastern Europe'. There's plugs for the USA, Australia, Italy etc. though. I'm guessing they have the same plugs as we have, or perhaps one of the plugs just doesn't say Romania while it can be used there.

Indeed, a load of thanks has to go to the translators. But don't forget the Editors. We all do a lot of work - even those of us who aren't recognised.
Heck, the Author should recieve the maximum out of it all. (Cannot remember his name because my brain is dying from reality peeps being so stupid) But I can agree that this book is awesome.

I'm aware that this is necromancy, but I too would like to express my gratitude to the translators who worked to get this on the Internet. I truly appreciate it. Even the parts I didn't really understand.

Eh, don't worry about it. Half the topics here that are more than a month old have at least a week or two of downtime somewhere in them. This is hardly the first or the worst case of topic necrophilia on the site.
That said, I don't think this is a topic where anyone is going to be complaining about it reopening. Banzai, translators and editors! Banzai!
