The report of my death was an exaggeration

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

well you may be wondering why i’ve been so quiet recently. Basically i’ve had a lot to do and little desire to write anything. there are however a few interesting things going on in my life, so i thought i’d fill you all in, my loyal and true readers.

firstly i was in berlin for a couple of days. that was fun unfortunately i managed to break my ubuntu installation an my laptop on the way there, so i couldn’t program anything and instead had to be sociable–a singularly unpleasant experience.

then i got back home and discovered that i’d been putting on weight, so i’m now on a strict diet (and have been for a week now). hopefully i’ll soon be my old, slim self. weight-training is going really well too

what else? well, i’m writing a lot of php and javascript for a project at work. that’s a lot more fun than seam/java, because you can actually see what you’ve done without spending 2 minutes redeploying. it is however a lot of work, and the initial time estimate is probably out by a factor of ten.

that’s all that i can think of atm. if anything else occurs to me, i’ll fill it in here.

oh yes i bought an eee pc (and installed hardy heron on it). apart from problems with wireless encryption, everything works. actually, i’m not sure i have problems with encryption, as i’ve never got encryption working on my router at home. it may be, that the router’s broken, and not the wireless driver (big bad binary blob for the atheros chipset, so you don’t expect it to work anyway). it is a really cool little computer and fits in the pockets of my cargos
