Tap tap tap!

Hey, is this thing on?

I've been futzing around with a lot behind the scenes here, what with adopting Nicholas' code and writing my own twitter comment system, things have been pretty busy. I've also been super busy with work and other things, which means I haven't posted in a while. Sorry 'bout that.

Recently I've been going all over the countryside: for work to Lille, London, and Delft (not too much to write about there -- I was inside, these places were outside, the pattern was wake up -> eat -> work -> eat -> sleep -> repeat so not so great for sightseeing), and for pleasure to visit Sasha in Antwerp (and also to go to Gent and Han-sur-Lesse).

So I'd prefer to talk about the latter for a bit!

Gent

That's me in Gent. There's a lot of photos in my photo gallery. Gent was great! It was very very cold and windy, though. We went to a lot of cool places including a castle with an amazing weapon and torture implement museum inside, the cathedral, and numerous little shops and cafes.

We also went to Antwerp, which was still quite cold! And we saw a few other things there, but mostly we ate yummy food and tried to stay warm.

Antwerp

This is a slightly fake castle. It's quite castly! but very small and mostly facadeishsortastuff, and you can't really go into it. I was somewhat disappointed, since it looks awesome.

Anyway last weekend we went instead to Han-sur-Lesse, where we visited an amazing cave system. I'm waiting for Sasha to put up his photos, because he really took some lovely ones of the formations! Quite spectacular -- definitely some of the best caves I've seen.

Anyway, along with that and being busy with work I've not had a huge amount of me time -- this weekend should solve that!

I've been riding my bicycle around too -- today I went to the post office to pick up some packages and I bought a side clip on bag for my pack rack thing (which is just what I wanted) so now I can go shopping with it more! woot! I should buy another one to put on the other side of the bike, they're very easy to unclip for when I fold them up too :D

Anyway, I hope to write a bit more often now that I've mostly sorted my bugs out with my software. Please, if you have any problems with the site or using the comment system please let me know. Something to remember is that if you just @reply in twitter to liedradotnet it will post the comment to the latest entry. This may change in the future but I think it's nice and easy for now :) Of course if you want to comment on previous entries you can still do that, by @replying to its status announcement.

Til next time, goodnight!
