Howto: set multilingual Taxonomy Terms as Blocks in Drupal 6

I wanted to have two different Taxonomy Vocabularies Displayed as Blocks and each of them to appear translated in the specific language that a user selects. I didn't want to create separate Taxonomy Vocabularies for each language, but instead wanted to have the same Vocabulary translated and the appropriate language shown.

This is how I did it.

About

Trying to understand the world around me and my place in it.

I feel like swimming in a huge, troubled sea; the currents are constantly changing; I keep losing and then keep finding my direction.

Where am I going? Who gave me the directions? Why is the sea troubled? Can I change the moving currents? Should I?

For all this and much more I write below.

GTD on Gmail using Tasks and iGoogle

(in a nutshell...) I like the Getting Things Done (GTD) method for organizing my life and am using it more and more often.

I also use Treo syncing it with Google Calendar via GCALDaemon, thus Google Calendar had to be implemented as well.

I tried Thinking Rock (with Dropbox), GTD InboxVitalist, and Todoist.

X-Factor: The last nail in Pop-Music's coffin

TV shows are bothering me.

I do have a feeling that the whole world becomes more stupid with these shows. You can't avoid them: someone around you is watching them. Be it a friend or family or even the TV displays on the stores. The News talk about them the Newspapers talk about them.

Take the Music Idol (Britain's Got Talent, X-factor) and its varieties throughout the world.

It changed the music scene, it gave new opportunities to singers... But it didn't do any good for musicians, nor to help creativity.
