Not coming from a family of TV nuts, we don’t have Sky at home, sticking instead to the regular 8 analogue stations that are available. However, increasingly so, I am thinking that getting Sky in would be a good idea, interactive TV just looks so cool. I am kinda worried that I will turn into [...]

I heard it for the first time the other day, and I’m hooked, I think it’s such a warm, happy tune. I am of course talking about You’re Beautiful by James Blunt and I suggest you go out and buy it and smile lots!
I think this just about sums it all up! Personal highlights: Bono taking the little girl up on stage, his new friend / Sunday Bloody Sunday – and Bono’s sermon which followed / Bullet The Blue Sky (amazing as always, though slightly more reserved on Bono’s part than normal / When Johnny Comes Marching Home [...]
Had a strange one here today. I applied the latest update to FC3 on my box here, an update to selinux, and it started spewing errors all over the place! Of course, it would all be nice and easy if I was able to do a package rollback on my box, but, that’s another story! [...]

Watching the RTE news at 9 this-evening, there was an article on about Cystic Fibrosis in Ireland. They had an exceptionally good looking [...]
Henmania is now gone, replaced by Andymonium, and Henman Hill has now been re-christened Murrayfield by the Beeb…how quickly they forget!
So, yeah, I missed this last night, only finding out about it on the news this morning. There was an optical illusion created last night, which made the moon appear much larger in the sky, and closer to earth than normal! There’s a detailed explanation of how it all happens over here. It actually looks [...]
The summer of 1995 had just started. Nothing startling about that fact, until you remember that 1995 was the last time we actually had a summer here in Ireland (rather than the odd nice day interspersed with lots of grey and rain!). I headed off to Wales on the boat with the family and a [...]
