X files
Multiple props are due to Aidan for helping me unb0rk my completely buggered XFree86 configuration after I did something stupid in root (...and the lesson we learn from that is? *slap*-owah!). Over the course of a remote (me in Karlsruhe, him in Wexford) conversation on Matrix, he held my hand as I stumbled around /etc/X11, init.d and other such murky locales. I learned about the hierarchical and functional differences between xinit, xfs and TWM/KDE/*, not to mention why the X11 developers need to be strung up by their short and curlies for their slightly overkilled font server.
A major help in dragging me a little further out of the Pit of Lameness towards the Shining Light of Knowing *Nix Shit. And he's got finals in a few weeks too. God bless that man.

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.
