LeSinge.org
Worker bee
So, I'm finished with one job and hopefully walking straight into another some time in the next two weeks (that is to say, I've been hired but the start date is fuzzy). It seems to be another step on the road to becoming some sort of goddamn professional translator.
I have skills; I know I do. So, uh, remind me why I'm continuing my degree again?
Other news: re-installing Win98 is proving tricky. I wonder if it's the hard disk, or the FAT, or the MBR, or the fact that I do have a Linux partition, or the fact that I'm installing an illegal German copy over an illegal English copy which was thrown on top of the original pre-installed German version. <lame>Also, I changed my X-window manager to TWM. It was novel and fun for a while but now I don't know how to change back to KDE</lame> (and /usr/bin/startkde aborts with errors, before you ask).

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.
