Alas no photos...
Well, maybe one... though it has nothing to do with what I want to write about. The photo is a antique reminder of my ancestors liquor merchant heritage, it's probably about 100 years old. So now it is used as a prep table for cooking. As a side note the family is now mostly vegetarian and don't drink, funny how generations change.

Though to start writing about what I was to write about... of course now I completely forget. It was pretty important too, hmm. Oh well, since last post been working hard at the Daily Mirror, a local English language newspaper with their own nifty website. I get the privilege of updating the site and authorizing comments of the 'special' people who comprise most of the Internets' denizens.

However, also get access to the breaking news and all the news that doesn't get in pretty fun. As well have the opportunity to write for the paper, so while the routine stuff is kinda boring, the people and potential are pretty swell... I think some of them may even have this blog site address... Uhm the people at the Daily mirror are the most wonderful fantastic beings to grace the earth! Okay that was a bit too much, anyway my other projects are slowly progressing. Still working on websites and trying to find a decent server in Sri Lanka to host the sites, either they are affordable but highly questionable or ridiculously overpriced.

Another thing I noticed is this facination with having photo's on the internet, while designing the sites, the clients would want an absurd about of photos that didn't really relate to the subject of the site. It actually took a bit of convincing to show that having that many pictures on a website is really unprofessional (unless it's a porn site - was tempted but didn't say that to the client).

Getting the hang of getting around and other stuff, though in truth haven't done too much the past couple of weeks. Perhaps the 6 day work weeks are getting to me, but my English class is a lot of fun. Started to try more serious work to get them thinking with English words instead of just a conversation class. Though I think what keeps the students interested is that the class is a lot of fun, one said that she always laughed so hard from class that her face hurt when they went home... I think that's a compliment.

Well, that's about it for now, time to get back to work or at least what seems like work ;) To all a good night!
