Geek talk

Been trawling through geek articles this morning at work in an effort to make the new redesigned e.s.p.a.r.e.s website that I’m putting together as.. standards compliant and up-to-date with the best web practices and white-hat SEO (search engine optimization) as possible. Not an easy task when the whip is cracking as time runs short. I wish I had more time to read through the articles in A List Apart. Some are even rather amusing.. I just have to share this exerpt from an article about SEO.. regarding the W3C site:

“W3CÂ’s site houses a collection of proposals, drafts, and Recommendations, written by geeks for geeks. And when I say geeks, I donÂ’t mean ordinary web professionals like you and me. I mean geeks who make the rest of us look like Grandma on the first day SheÂ’s Got Mail.™”

Heeheehee…

With all this fairly recently found knowledge of standards in CSS2, XHTML etc etc.. I really should update my own website, which is probably a shocker if you ran it through a W3C standards check. Plus it’s littered with the misuse of tables.

Journeying back to fitness!

Anyway, enough geek talk! I went to dance class last night! First time in…. months! I went to Sheila’s jazz at Pineapple. Man… I felt like such a beginner. Reminded me of when I first started taking jazz classes, feeling totally clueless and un-coordinated. But it wasn’t too bad.. I got the routine in the end, yay! And I’m not quite as unfit as I thought I was. Still nowhere near as strong as before – somewhat flabby in places that once were tight and toned. *sniff* Ah well… I’m on the journey back to fit and healthy goodness again. I’ve also joined a gym here too… finally! I joined up with LA Fitness (platinum membership, which means I get to use any in London – and there’s one quite near my place) and will be attending my first Hatha Yoga class tonight! Yay for exercise and yay for feeling great!! 🙂
