Things, and stuffs, and projects…

So much has been going on, and yet so little… My FYP demo was postponed for a week from 5th April, due to illness, but went ahead on 12th April. I was quite happy with the presentation & demo, and absolutely thrilled with the comments I got back – it was really well received. It’s [...]

Multihomed Homeless Drinking Games

Helen and Eimear are temporarily homeless, so they’re crashing in my apartment. We had a really nice dinner in a nearby restaurant, and then returned to my place to prepare for a night out…

Visiting Hours

Last Sunday, Rosie came over to visit. She’s the last of my family to visit, and she’s just finished up in Andrew’s, where we all went to school for most of our careers. She has another year of school left, but she’s going to do that in the Institute. (Yay points-race…)

She arrived in relatively early, [...]
