Finding The Time

Also relates to Peregrinations

No I haven't discorporated! Just, in the past few weeks I have seen such a short supply of time, that keeping up with this weblog was futile. The world of the web developer chasing standards is certainly a varied and very busy one! Then there is the added requirement of managing my personal business affairs, a full time occupation in itself before even getting down to coding.

I have also been toying with the idea of replacing my blogging software with the excellent Wordpress, but having come so far with my own code, I have decided instead to improve my own system (integrating features like Trackback and Ping) and this has taken up much of the time I would normally dedicate to blogging. Then there has been the hammer on the head scenario to come up with a entry for the GAWDS Redesign Competition. I had hoped that the pressure of the encroaching deadline would provide that sudden flash of inspiration, but my head is awash with code at the moment. There is still time if you haven't got an entry in yet!

On top of all this, Euro 2004 is underway and, dare I say it, BB5 is providing countless hours of addictive emotional voyeurism!

Actually, brief aside. I have been somewhat disappointed with the cumbersome and inaccessible website supporting BB5. Due to the sluggish load time I decided to take a tour in my Lynx browser, my first stop being the popularity page - a feature I run to before placing any bets with friends. Flash dependant interface, a total non-starter :(.

Anyway, back to the present, or lack of present! For I feel like I am constantly living in the future at the moment, or more accurately a circular dimension of time - one plain, one point, one moment. Enough of the metaphysics, here follows some catch up blogging from recent days…

Comments Form Added

This post does not relate to any other topics

A comments submission form has now been added to this Blog. Still in it's rough, hewn stage, so apologies if it bugs out on anyone. Initial tests have run ok. The form accepts inline XHTML 1.0 elements from %phrase; and %special;, along with blockquote, address and p. That is most of the common markup used on paragraph content (eg code, em, strong, abbr, acronym). If you use markup in a comment, please ensure it is well formed. A simple parser will test for errors in well-formedness, and invalid nesting.
