So, not for the first time in the land of high-speed internet, I find myself without internet access that I’ve paid for (yes, I pay for my connection – it’s one of the ‘Nebenkosten’ in my rent). I had some connectivity on Monday evening, and Tuesday & yesterday it seemed to work between about noon [...] Ewww! I can’t say this enough times… I’ve just taken a jar of Frankfurters out of my fridge… According to the label, they should be good until 16.11.2007, if kept below 25°C. I’m pretty confident my fridge stayed below that temperature, although naturally I can’t be certain. The jar was still sealed, with both the [...] I’m currently in the third year of a four year degree. I’ve taken a year out, and spent it working for a major corporation. I enjoyed some of the work, but hated the inflexibility, and the hugeness of the company. Looking back, the work I enjoyed most was research, number-crunching, puzzle-solving, for people. (Yes, the [...] I woke up this morning so stiff I couldn’t walk straight. I’m not sure how I was sleeping, but it must’ve been some seriously weird way. Several interesting things occurred to me during the day, almost all of which I have since forgotten. One that I didn’t forget was the various patron saints I was familiar [...] Colm and I went to see this on Friday, in the cinema in the new (ok, not any more, but still) Dundrum Town Centre. The cinema itself was actually pretty nice – I must admit, from their website, I was expecting something slightly dodgy, but it wasn’t at all. They also appear to have a [...] So, I’ve now successfully fixed all my time-telling devices (I think). This gives me, however, little joy, since I’ll be going to Germany tomorrow, and doing the whole thing over again. I’m not much looking forward to going there – I’m really not a fan of airports and all that jazz – but it’ll be [...] I’ve had plenty of time to kill in Dublin lately (can you tell I have an assignment due?), there’ll be folk over from the ASF in a couple of weeks, and this is something I’ve been planning on doing for ages, so here goes with the sequel to my Whistle-Stop Tour of Europe. (Excuse me. Minor [...] Right. The ol’ corporate sponsorship hasn’t been so great, but with a little help from my friends, I reckon I should be able to make it to ApacheCon EU 2006 this summer. I’m asking you to donate what you can. I’ll keep the blog updated with how I’m doing – if I can even get airfare [...] So, after the last post, Danny provided me with the most wonderfully huge towel, and taught me some of the voodoo required for controlling the shower. He then conjured up some yummy pancakes and amusing stories for breakfast Afterwards, we curled up on the couch to watch Futurama DVDs. What a great way [...] So, after a day of wandering UL yesterday, Steve came and picked me up outside the Students’ Union, and verily was nice to me We met the charming Luisa, and ineffable Bruce, and were provided with a brief display of what appeared to be a very difficult dance move. Dinner in Luigi Malone’s was [...] |
