Housewarming party and etc.
I've had little to no time to write, blog, exercise these last couple of weeks. It's been busy with a capital-Y. Ok whatever, work is messing up with my head, especially after leaving at 1am last night - I was even wondering if I'd be locked inside the building.
Anyhow, Craig came to visit which was great. After 6 weeks of going around China with some of his fellow students in his architecture program at UofT, he had a good-but-short dose of Bangkok. Unfortunately I'm caught up in crunch time at work, finishing up some major projects before I leave for Indonesia for 2-3 weeks, so we couldn't go travel or anything.
Now Matt is coming to visit tomorrow, and same time limits apply - probably even more, but I hope I'll be off work next week to go travel and take lots of photos.
Some of the projects I've completed include the HIV/AIDS site at UNESCO Bangkok, and an online database of educational software evaluations for the ICT in Education sector. This last piece (the online version of the database application) was completed in two working days! (Whereas, the Access version took quite a while - to understand the nature of the data, normalize, re-analyze, puzzle over bad data and categorizations, etc.)
What's unfortunate about these sites is that they are not done up in XHTML+CSS and do not comply to web accessibility standards (or really any good standards). But my redesign for the UNESCO site is coming along
Anyways, enough about work - This weekend will be a house-warming bonanza, with a church friend's and a colleague's both on Saturday. The housewarming for Xia, Kirill, and me will be a Sunday afternoon - until evening thing.
If you're around Bangkok - come by - we've got lots of tea to serve (yeah, it can be a proper tea-party). And here's the map (PDF version) to chez nous.
