Thread: who the hell is Kae

Ahh gotcha....

I guess I'll get off my knees now as I thought I was worshiping a designer here

I hate to drag this thread up again, but Kae, did I meet you before? At a Juggling Convention in Tralee, maybe in Trinity?

I learned everything I know about Contact Juggling from your site. I wouldn't be a DMOZ editor if it wasn't for that.

Man, I knew I recognized the name.

I was invited to run a workshop at a juggling convention in Trinity, but when I turned up, I found they had moved the convention somewhere else without updating their website to reflect that.

If you're a contact juggler, you've most likely heard of me - I was the webmaster of contactjuggling.org for a few years (before I handed it over to someone else who stripped out all my hard work and replaced it with a phpBB2 forum...).

Also, you might have read my book on the subject - Kae's Guide to Contact Juggling (klog» Blog Archive » kae’s guide to contact juggling)

Small world, innit!

Wow, yea. I have read that! Did CJ.org used to be powered by PHPnuke?

I was actually in the DIT juggling society (Did you know dreadlock Cormac?) and my girlfriend and I were in the Trinity one. I'm sure we certainly met a few times.

Oh well, we all grow up. (I still juggle sometimes though)
Certainly is a small workd

the .org site was hand-built. I just wasn't happy with the tools that were out there, although I know the new webmaster was into phpnuke.

I used to juggle at Goldsmith Hall in Trinity. we probably met there. I can't really remember those days very well -it was seven or more years back!

To bring this back on topic, though - .org was, believe it or not, one of the first "ajax" sites out there - the chatroom in it used a frames-based messaging system to send javascript from the client to the server and back.

good times - I learned a lot while building that site.

*cough* sorry but did I read that right? You are a DMOZ editor?

Yep I just saw that too.

Hi uncle Dave


Oops, sorry Hi Kae. I came across some of your stuff a while ago (the 'bow down before me' line also rang a bell )

Yup. I am indeed. Don't worry though, my categories are ones you would not be interested in.

If you knew of me on other forums, you would know that I defend DMOZ accusations and other editors to the death. I love the conspiracy theories though

I love the ones in DP that keep appearing, they just seem to go on forever.

*wonders what categories Dave looks after*


Yeah Kae, sorry for hijacking your thread but I couldnt resist poking Dave after reading that.

I was also a DMOZ editor - for Contact Juggling. I was also the editor for Monaghan for a while. I lost my access after a while, though, and since then, I feel as if the area has stagnated...
