andcurve.weblog - The weblog of Kevin Teljeur. Somewhere within all the noise, there is a note you need to hear.

It’s been almost two weeks since I last posted; you might be forgiven for thinking that I have been doing nothing, or lost interest in the site after an initial euphoria of being able to dump my ramblings on the world, or maybe even lost interest in everything and cleared off for parts unknown.

No. I have, in fact, been very busy and have lots of little notes and photos to stick up here, I just haven’t had the time. It really has been that busy for me over the last two weeks. Most of my time that I haven’t been working is time I’ve been spending with my girlfriend Therese since she is going away next Wednesday in the small hours of the morning and obviously that’s the big deal right now, everything else being somewhat secondary (or even very much secondary). In between there have been parties, intriguingly artistic nights out with excitable Romanians and a trip to the zoo of all things. And Rua Donohoe’s testimonial match! For which he managed to stay on the pitch for an entire hour without breaking anything; typically he saved the best until last.

I also came up with a number of topics I decided I’d want to write about, ranging from self-censorship, obliged censorship and such matters through to Tadhg and Sean evangelising AJAX to me (after Google‘s use of it for Gmail, it’s become the hip new technology, despite having been around for years before; it’s a system for passing XML to a browser. Propellerhead stuff, and most of you have no idea what I’m on about. You’re not missing much, I can tell you) which was interesting for reasons I’ll go into later.

I’ve gotten stuck into getting Therese’s site together. We got her the hosting, I’d already gotten the domain, and now I’m in a rush to get the damn thing up and looking pretty before she goes. It’s going to be a hectic weekend ahead…

Right, I better get back to it. Still busy at work too, though some good results and learning some new tricks here and there; I was even so taken with the whole weblog experience that I thought of setting one up internally for writing about in-house stuff and discussions, but if I can’t find time to write my own one, where the hell will I find time for a work one? Hm…
