Thanks for the effort!

Yes, I see the log increasing as a reload the "recent changes" page.
Is it just me or is it general to get excited watching
massive data being crunched right in front of your very eyes?

Some pages I opened were just blank.
I wonder if this is because the original English page
is also blank... any way I will wait for the processing to end.

I feel I've already done this following the "admin HOW-TO".
If it gets over written, I guess I can just try again.
