This net ain't big enough...

It's so gratifying, nay, cute to see real-life friends cranking up their own web presences. Charlotte actually posted something to the weblog I spontaneously set up for her the day before yesterday; I've been telling her for months that she was a born blogger and, judging by the length of her first entry, she'll soon be chewing up Pyra's bandwidth big style.

Ian unveiled his page today too, only to have it go offline as quickly for exceeding the free hosting service's daily bandwidth limit (he'd mailed the link to about 20 people). I would also like to point out that I offered him space on my Karlsruhe University account but he turned it down because he's afraid of Linux/Apache/PHP, being the little MS/IIS/ASP whore that he is. Abuse!

Frustration is: waiting 40 minutes for your lovely broccoli/pasta thing to finish cooking 'cos, you know, you haven't eaten all day, going to pull it out of the oven and realising that you never switched the fucking thing on.

I decided to rescue this from my old Blogger account. November 28th, 2000... Jaysis. 6 months of uninterrupted mediocrity, kids. You can learn from this. Meanwhile, we await the arrival of this man to the public internet diary stage. Or will he chicken out?

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.
