Welcome to my page! ようこそ！
A brief introduction about myself.
I am a professional Japanese-to-English technical translator and editor with many years of experience, both in Japan and the UK.
In addition to studying Japanese, I also studied archaeology at Birkbeck College, at the University of London, and continue to work on academic papers and articles. I was also one of the organizers of IJET-17, the International Japanese English Translation Conference held at the Kobe International Conference Center in June 2006.
As a former archaeology student, I find living in Nara very exciting. Not only do we have the continuing excavations at Heijo Palace, but there are several large kofun (tumuli or burial mounds) near our house. I have also started my own sub-branch for people interested in, or studying ancient Japan. If you are interested in joining, send a message asking to join and I will send you an invitation.

This group sounds a great idea. I hope it proves a good forum for helping Japanese groups and organizations to increase their bilingual services. There is much in Japan, that deserves more exposure than it gets, simply due to a lack of even basic ...

I previously had Box.net running at the Research Co-op, but it was used by a spammer to load a whole lot of junk onto our site. Eventually, it could add a lot of extra work for moderation of the site, but not much advantage, since standard email, Google docs and other services provide good opportunities for online collaboration with texts. Our focus needs to be helping to facilitate initial contact between writers, editors, translators and others. Whenever members send messages, it is already possible to upload document files, and this could be useful for sending sample texts for cost assessments, test translations, and so on.
