What's qDot Up To This Week? (2018-06-22 Edition)

· 3 min read

Ok, guess we're sticking to Fridays for weekly updates. Or maybe Saturdays, as is the case now.First off... If you ever wonder what I'm doing with your money, well, the image in this post is a good indicator. I get a lot of questions on our discord about cheap toys that work with Buttplug, which is why we have support for things like the Youcups Warrior 2 and Pipijing Whale. People want something to play with, but may not be able to shell out for a Lovense, much less a Launch or ET-312. I try to keep a list of < $50 toys from Alibaba that may take a couple of months to arrive and be less-than-body-safe, but will at least provide something for people to work with.

That means I also find stuff like bluetooth speaker onaholes.

Dear god, if I never talk about web browsers again it will be too soon.Too bad that's my dayjob. >.>

Was at a dayjob meetup all week, so not much got done in terms of development on Buttplug. I mentioned this might be happening in the update last week, so no real surprises there.

Ok, gonna try a new thing. Weekly updates! Just so you have some idea what's going on, since you're like, you know, paying me.These will probably get posted on Wednesdays from here on out.

**This Week: **Unfortunately the update this week is gonna be super boring, because it's one of those super boring tasks weeks. Almost all of my time has been spent shuffling our hosting, so the end of this post is going to be about one of the topics nobody voted for in that last poll. :)

Vorze Ufo Sa Video Blooper

I'm currently filming the Buttpluggin' with qDot UFO SA overview video. I was trying to record some of the movies that came on the demo disc, but I forgot to turn my voice over mic off while recording. It ended up picking up the sound of the UFO SA being controlled by the video, which, without visual context, ends up... yeah.Please enjoy the sounds of robot nipples being tweaked.

Translating Buttplug

· 2 min read

Now that the Buttplug website is in order and I have some vague ideas about software direction, I'm looking at getting translation work done. I think this is i18n work, but I'm not sure and don't want to confuse anyone that actually knows what they're talking about, so I'm just saying translation. I posted about this on twitter and already have interest for German, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian. Japanese is a major goal that's currently not covered right now, so definitely looking for that. The first translation priority will be the Buttplug website at https://buttplug.io, which doesn't have a ton of text on it but is key for bringing in new community and contributors. Hoping this will be a good way to iron out the process, as this is also gonna be the first time I've ever done this on one of my projects. After that, we'll look at documentation, libraries, and applications, figuring out which translations would best serve the community. 

Right now I'm figuring out which translation service I want to use. I'm pretty sure I'm going with http://crowdin.com . If anyone has worked with that or any other services like http://transifex.com , http://phraseapp.com, or others and have opinions, please do let me know, 'cause I'm starting from basically zero knowledge here.
