du -kc
...is a UNIX/Linux/*BSD command which, in this case, returns the total disk usage (ie size) of any given folder and its subfolders, in kilobytes. I just looked at how much space my web folder is taking up and ohdearieme...
I've got the fear of god all of a sudden, so it's been decided: the Junk page is going in a few days, and with it the contents, all 73 MB's worth. Pay attention, Rob and Andrea: this is your last chance to get anything you want out of there! I might keep a few of the best, like the Matrix farting vid, the explanation of the word "fuck" and so on, but the rest will be purged mercilessly. Most of them are crap anyway and god knows how many duplicates there are. Any attachments I get in my mail from now on will be held up there for probably not longer than a week, just so that I can get a chance to download them myself - which was the original function of that page anyway.

About
This is LeSinge.org v3.0. It's on its sixth* server since I registered the domain name in November of 2000 and it has gone through several drastic facelifts in that time, usually prompted by some cataclysmic event like someone deleting a load of files they shouldn't, or a server being shut down. This is the maddest layout yet; I'm trying to fit the entire weblog (apart from diary archives and the gallery) into a single loading page using all sorts of PHP-generated DHTML jiggery-pokery. The idea is to make it more inviting to look around since there's no loading between "pages". It's still a work in progress (more a proof of concept than anything), so be patient!
I'm Dave Whyte, an Irish CS graduate, German speaker, linguist and incredibly talented web developer. I'm originally from Fermoy but I now live in Newbridge with my wife Beth and our son. I'm currently working for these fine folks and enjoying it greatly.
"The Monkey"? Eh?
My nom de guerre comes from an old Eddie Izzard comedy sketch.
