And back

No comments

That’s it, Christmas is done and dusted for another year! Well, kinda sorta anyways. I’m back at work today unfortunately, but, it has to be done. Have to say, coming into work today was a treat, lovely white frosty morning, gorgeous light, and not a single bit of traffic on the road. Drove straight into [...]

And we’ve moved

Ok, so, no doubt you’re now seeing some changes from what you’re used to here. I’ve moved my blog away from blogs.linux.ie (a big thank you to Colm and Donncha for facilitating my blog there for nearly three years). Of course, Donncha is also heavily involved in developing WordPress which this blog is working off, [...]

Some funky stuff going on with the blog for the next day or two, hope to have it all sorted shortly!

I’ve long wanted a proper flash based photo gallery. I’ll be a long time waiting on Emma Jane to build me one I reckon, so, for the mean time, I’m going to make do with SimpleViewer, what looks like a very neat way of putting together flash based photo galleries. On top of that, it [...]

Ice skating

I really fancy ice skating in Dublin sometime soon. Really don’t know where I’m going to find the time before Christmas mind! Don’t fancy going to the RDS for it either, I hear Smithfield is happening again, is the IFSC doing it this year too, is it any good there? And, does anyone fancy joining [...]

I took the camera out at the weekend for the first time to take some proper shots since I got it back, and much to my disgust, I found that the problem that was there (front focusing) prior to Canon taking it off me for four weeks, was still there, in fact, if it’s anything, [...]

I’m glad to see that all the fuss is over, and Brian O’ Driscoll has finally decided to stay in Ireland until at least the end of the 2007 season. Looking forward to seeing him back in action in a Leinster jersey in the new year. On another note, I heard he was out drinking [...]
