Five-Minute Star Trek: First Contact in Spanish. Weird. Just weird. Was this authorized or anything, or did this Marplanauta guy just slap it up? He does credit Zeke, so it's not plagarism, but I'd have preferred a link back here.

Somebody has an account by the name here, so it's probable that it's the same guy. I'm not sure if Zeke is aware of this particular translation though, but I know from experience that you only have to link to the site somewhere to get him to pop up behind you in a most unexpected fashion, so on reflection he probably does.

By the way, I found it by doing a search for Kablazmo, wondering if it appears in any other fivers. I guess not, huh? At least I can rest easier knowing that the Spanish translation of Kablazmo is Kablazmo.

So I just discovered the joys of the Wayback Machine, so of COURSE I had to go back in time to the early days of Five-Minute Voyager. Finding a Sliders fiver was, to put it mildly, shocking. Where'd it go on the current site?

That would be here, where all the lonely fivers of shows that don't have subsites of their own hang out.
The Wayback Machine is great, isn't it?

Oh. Color me Hooloovoo.

I was expecially grateful for Wayback because it let me retrieve a file that one of my old glitchy jump drives ate up and I thought I'd never find it again.

It was so fun to see Five-Minute Voyager again. That seems so long ago now.

The bookmark seems to have got lost in the cleanup from a spyware incident I had a few months back, but while searching for something else, I once ran across a still semi-active 5MV page on GeoCities. 'Twas a site to behold.

If you'll recall, Five-Minute Voyager for quite a while had an alternate URL with a .ar (Argentina) country code that appeared on the main index page and elsewhere. I think Zeke's main e-mail address for a time had the same .ar tag. If I remember rightly, those were given to him in exchange for permission to publish Spanish translations of fivers on Marplanauta's site, which also contains lots of other Trek-related info and fic.
