Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what language this website is in. There is a link to my site but they are offering one of my files on their site. I just want to know what they are saying - and what they are doing with my file.
The file is corrupt when I downloaded it (several times) - is there a way to view whatever files are in there - specifically the text files? There is substance there but won't let me open it.
Here's the site: http://pods.lv/story.php?storyid=2003/3/25/1229

I'm sure bablefish won't translate Latvian. Is there another translator that will? Thanks.

Hey Mr. Lynch, don't know if you found anything, I had a look for you and couldn't find any "free" resources ( I love ya but not that much;) ) anyway, I did find a page that will get any language if you don't know what it is.

P.S, Reverend is right, he's one smart fella!

Thanks kelli, I should have known with the "lv" in the url - but the Russian type characters, in the banner, and the main body of text did not appear to match - confused me.

Ok, i am from Latvia, so I'll try to translate the article.
The guy says, that some time ago he saw the news about the new Safari browser for MacOs and then he was a bit envious of it. Not for the browser itself but the UI it had.
He thinks that Phoenix users would enjoy the Safari theme, which isn't (probably) as nice as the original Safari one, however it can be used quite well. He says it would be ideal if the title bar and menus were removed.
In the PS section he says he's suspicious that the new theme will require much resources, too.

Thanks misame - he/she is distributing my file, which is wrong - not much I can do about it though. It's also a very old version - will not work in today's Firefox.
Welcome to Techzonez - :D

Right click on the site and go properties (in Firefox) and it tells you the language.
The site is hosted by:
http://ogreland.lv/
I suggest writing them a letter asking for your file to be removed Lynch, (I'm sure in English is fine.).
And nice work to Misame, very cool work.
And again welcome to TZ.
