Taking a long break…

I’ve not written much on this blog for a while, and this is partly due to taking a summer holiday, but the other aspect of this is the fact that I’m taking a long break from things in general. The reason behind this is that as I’m going to be moving into my own place as of the 25th of this month (aug) I’ll have no internet access at home for about a month or more while the new phone line and ISP gets sorted out.

So rather than try to beat my ass into the ground to complete a few things I had originally planned to do, I’m taking a longer summer break instead. This of course gives me the time to pack, and to de-clutter ready for the move, and also to get some other things in order.

Fear not, as I have 11 draft posts in various stages of preparation which I hope will be of some interest to visitors. Yet, I’m not going to list them or give any details as I can’t predict what will happen soon after getting my Internet connection back. Nevertheless, I may get around to posting at least one of those drafts before I enter the dark ages, and re-emerge with an even higher bandwith connection.

If you’re interested in my summer holidays, you can check out my flickr where I’ve posted pics of my wonderfully relaxing trip to Athens. It was good to see my friend Antonis again, and to immerse in another culture yet again. The best part about visiting a place where you have a guide from that country is that you get to experience the ‘real’ place. Meeting their friends and chatting with them about everyday things. Luckily, most Athenians speak very good English. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be screwed, because my Greek only extends to a few words (not even phrases). Having the likelyhood of visiting Athens again, I’ve also decided to enrol on a Greek Language For Beginners course, in the hope that I’ll enjoy learning something completely new (outside of Web Development/Design) and come away with some basic language skills.

Cool. See you readers in the fall.
