Half a night off… Books, Eve and passtimes.
February 14th, 2007
Ever found yourself on the verge of meltdown? Holy cow! I have been a busy man of late and life is good, as some of you might know I have been busy organising a web standards conference in Edinburgh but on top of that I have been working my day job and freelancing at night. OUCH!
Well I am quite happy, I just launched phase #1 of quite a big site I have been working on which is a relief. Now onto phase 2 I guess but for now I am enjoying half a night off and figured it was time to say hello. So what have I been up to other than that?
- I read “The Taking” by Dean Koontz on the train to work which was awesome
- I have engaged in 4 wars in EVE Online
- I’ve formed a hatred for commuting during rush hour
- Made lots of new friends and contacts in the web development industry
- I have played a major part in 4 different web projects outside of work
- Avoided Twitter
- Missed writing on here on a regular basis
- Managed to preach web standards at work to a certain degree of success
- I’ve written several partial posts that haven’t made it to the site yet.
- I’ve not managed to get to bed before 1am since the new year due to work and the likes
- Almost learned to multitask (not good though as Caz says I am now half woman)
- I’ve enjoyed life to the full
- Oh yeah… Elsie has successfully poo’d on her own for the first time so I guess I have played my part in potty training too
What have you been up to? How do you unwind? I think my eyes have gone square and fuzzy since the beginning of the year, I don’t mind because I am doing something that I believe in and hopefully not just myself will benefit. The good news is that the conference is being well received and all of the early bird tickets are now sold so onto the next batch…

Hi Alan, good to hear from you and good to see things are going well. “I have engaged in four wars” – I love that! Looks like a cool game though, great artwork.
I do hope you find the time to share more of what’s going on but if you don’t just now that’s cool coz if you’re enjoying life so much despite the workload that’s a good thing of course.
Take care!

Hi Nils
Glad you came in past and that I am not gone from your feed just quite yet
Eve is an incredible game, in fact it is probably the best game I have ever played. The game is huge and even after 5 years, players still want more from it which I think is an incredible achievement for the developers.
Once things die down (2 Corporations are having a go at us at the moment) you should come on and do the trial. I will look out for you
On another note, I will be posting more often so keep an eye out (although you already do ;-))
