I’ve actually had people here thank me for the Irish no vote, hilariously enough.
That Guardian article on ß that you linked to is a bit gruel-brained, btw. In particular this:
“In practical terms the ISO ruling now means that in future it should be easier to find the Eszett on computer keyboards and in programmes.“
is totally bullshit. The inclusion of a capital ß will not change computer keyboards at all, since almost no-one wants to type it, and since the uppercase ß is god-knows-where (though, right, in the BMP), and since the lowercase ß is in Latin-1, how easy the letter is to find in programs (sorry, dear, we switched to -grams in that meaning a couple of decades ago) hasn't changed in real terms.[2008-07-02 20:44:20 GMT]

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.
