This thing is still here?

So, hi. I haven’t blogged in forever and a day and am slightly embarrassed about it, but as Pete puts it, my shrug is entirely up to the task. shrug
Since I last wrote, I’ve been to Thailand with Hallie, drunk beer with ladyboys, floated down a river on an inner tube in Laos, beer clasped firmly in hand, and endured the Vietnamese overnight bus line. (Special props to the Vietnamese motos for their ascending trio of “Moto? Girl? Weed?”)
I have some photos somewhere, and will probably be putting them up. Somewhere. I’ve been agonising about writing a post about the whole experience, but it’s either too big or too small: it had a massive effect on me, but what on earth can I write that isn’t indistinguishable from a million other banal travelogs? Feh.
With Sisyphus’ stone neatly abandoned at the bottom of the hill, we can move on to other matters. I’ve just got a beautiful room in a house in Erskineville. No longer must I crouch in stygian darkness under the bed in order to type: my desk has a full metre and a half of headroom, and even some natural light. My flatmates seem extraordinarily pleasant - the other Mark living here even helped me put up my ridiculous loft bed.
As far as work goes, I’m working on my standard webapp contract stuff and looking to do some hacking on the new Facebook API. Let me know if you have a brilliant idea that you feel like sharing…
