Not so fun.  I got to work, school, work, and sometimes school.

I wish I was back in Canada where I cold take the metro....

Went to Edinburgh a few weeks back for a conference, which was fun. I like Edinburgh. :)

Week after that I took photographs of my sister's flower arrangements at a wedding in a very fancy place in London.

This last week, I've been helping with an important project at work, only for us to completely screw up the demo, resulting in very dissapointed project manager & department director. :(

Started looking at getting my own house, now that the prices here and beginning to slow/drop. Still need to save more deposit, but hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have enough and be able to get a big fancy mansion one bedroom flat. :unsure:

In September there's another conference. It's only in Brighton this time, but I'm going to be presenting at it. :D

Then after that, I'm probably going to be having a holiday somewhere around the Cornwall/Somerset area.

Sounds nice.  As for screwing up the demo, well, it is CF after all. :P

Regarding myself, god knows ... probably nothing too unusual to be honest. :\

SS, you need to loiter in #webdev more, there are at least two serious photographers there.  Also, what's the conference about? :)

Grrr, the problem was not CF... it was dodgy JavaScript (not mine) and missing stuff mentioned in the tech spec (that one was me :( )
Oooh, and ... I'm going to go start a new thread... good stuff has happened that might be convince you to use CFML! ;)

I need to do lots of things more - haven't been in IRC in /ages/ - can't remember the last time I opened Miranda (before today; to help my sister with Laptop problems over Y!Messenger, anyway)

I am attempting to get myself more organised though, so you'll hopefully see me popping in there more frequently... probably starting this evening, after I've gone shopping and stuff.

The conference is a webdev one. :)
cfDevCon (http://www.cfdevcon.com/) - primary focus is CF (and Flex/Flash) but there's plenty of more generic stuff - Accessibility, Microsoft SQL Server, Cryptography, web hacking, Apache Ant, and of course the best topic being the one I'm going to be talking about, which is Regular Expressions.

Website is www.cfdevcon.com (http://www.cfdevcon.com) if you're interested - early bird prices end on Monday.
