Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

Ye gods, that was like giving birth...

www.theElders.org is now up and running and live and stuff. Our baby, which has been giving me sleepless nights and long long days appears to be stable, running excellently and making people the world over happy. Got the video up there at around 10 last night, now it’s just a few small tweaks and stuff (why oh WHY does Media Player seem intent on showing me a UI when I’ve told it not to on Vista?) This is, from a coding standard, without a doubt the best site I’ve worked on. The HTML is lean, 100% valid, accessible and works semantically without stylesheet. It switches into “mobile” mode if it detects you’re browsing from a phone, giving you a different stylesheet and different images. It has an accessible mode and a text/only mode that should be viewable by every single web browser ever invented, so people still using shitty copies of Mosaic will also be able to feel the love. Plus, I got the added feelgood factor as it’s for a good cause n stuff. So yeah, we have this problem now with the fact I’ve not blogged in so very long but don’t actually have very much to talk about. Because the only thing I’ve done in the last 2 weeks is work (including all last weekend : S Went out briefly after work on Saturday, first time out in bars post smoking ban. Popped to Retro and said hi to Lloyd and then rushed off to CXR after getting bored of waiting for a bus home. Headed off to the Swan afterwards where I was accosted by a drunk man who fancied me. Which was a bit scary. Until he started going on about showgirls with his mate and then it got a lot scary. “I thought Bonnie Langford was GREAT in Doctor Who” : | : | : | So I made my escape and dragged Teej out for shits and giggles. Whilst waiting for him to arrive I cunningly managed to accidentally spark up a fag in the middle of the pub. Oops. Glared at, ran to the garden. (what? It’s force of habit!). BAD hangover Sunday, + Office = eugh. You would not believe the fun we had getting a 2.5Gb video file from Johannesburg to the web yesterday Am off Friday, TOIL. Need sleep. Need SO much sleep. And probably need shopping too. Think I might have run out of food as I’ve mostly been living off Bratwurst. Paid money into the bank yesterday. At 4:29. To stop myself going overdrawn. It’s showing up as having hit my account today, not yesterday. And my account’s showing the account charge and then showing a refund for the same amount. Bless Barclays heh. Right. Spose I’d better go work really. Talk to you lovely people soon : )
