Accommodation in Munich

Well, I got the email today, to say there was a place reserved for me in the “Dormitory Oberwiesenfeld”, as an Erasmus student at the LMU, Munich.

Quite what got lost in translation, I’m not sure, as it turns out that this dormitory is actually a block of apartments – CAD models are here. I’m [...]

Long dogdays…

Well, it’s been a while… Colm’s been & gone from Apachecon (bringing me home a cute lil BSD Daemon, as I already have a couple of Tuxen), the talk apparently went well, and he appears to have met a whole host of interesting people

It wasn’t all work for me, while Colm was away [...]

Abiotic (not really) and adaptive (really really)

I came across a new word the other day. Not that that’s anything unusual – it happens on a fairly regular basis. I like new words =) It was a small word, with a fairly simple meaning. But it amazed me that I could just look at this word – a word I’d never seen [...]

Congratulations due!

I met Claire TD and her young man on the bus today too… They got engaged on Thursday – my warmest congratulations! Love really, really does suit Claire – it took me several seconds staring at her before I recognised her enough to start walking toward her, and it was only when she recognised me [...]

Linuxchix & PS2 Games

“Be polite, be helpful” – what more could a girl (or anyone!) want… Chix, you rock. Long time reader, first(ish) time poster – I was looking for ideas for PS2 games to play with Colm… He knew I didn’t want to play beat’em’ups, so he went out and got two racing games… I was most [...]

Batman Begins

Saw this on Friday with Colm – it rocks. Muchly. Go see it.

It starts off a bit rough – the first couple of minutes are definitely missable. But once we get into the story – Bruce’s bat-thing, his parents’ death, his childhood – it’s just heartwrenching. It’s a fantastic tale, but plenty of fight-scenes and [...]

Upside-downsie world

Well, it was going to be a very bouncy & bright post, about Colm’s latest shopping spree… Instead, it’s a rather sedate, shocked post.

We went out to Dundrum last night, ostensibly for food shopping… We came home with some food, a Playstation2 (silver), two games (The Simpsons Hit & Run, and Harry Potter Quidditch), and [...]

London 2012

Yay!
London have won the bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympic Games =)
I wonder what their ‘once-off’ sports will be?

H2G2

Met up with Diane & SeanOS last night, went for a pancake in the new Lemon… Yummy, but not as yummy as Saturday pancakes, and *way* more pricey! Ah well, I wanted to try it out, and no one had any better ideas =)

SeanOS had to get a bus then, so Diane & I went [...]

Welcome home!

Dad’s finally in Irish waters =)
There’s been a flurry of texts, and phone calls, and everything – oh, it’ll be so good to have him home!

WELCOME HOME DAD!!!
