Is something happening today?

Sitting in the backseat of the car, my hands getting used to the new case that I just bought to protect my new bundle of joy. Probably heading down to the Blog Awards around 3 today. It shouldn’t take us more then 1.75 hours to get down there, so looking toward to mingling with people [...]

Steven TS on the nuacht

Mum has a name for the people I know through blogging. She calls them my ‘bloggy friends’. One such person is Steven TS (Troughton-Smith), who is an iPhone app developer who’s made 5,000$ on the app store recently with his 4 apps. Although he’s made 5 apps, only 4 are available on the ‘store. They [...]

The Saga Continues v2.0

So, I’m tearing myself away from iPhone-ing but I have a tale to tell. So, sit back, relax, and attend the tale of the chocolate shampoo. Yes. You read that right. Chocolate shampoo. I finally got up about two hours ago, and hopped in the shower. I reach for the green shampoo but it’s empty. [...]

I’m such a rebel

Just in the door from Collision Course II and a generally awesome day. Am completely whacked though so no big long post. Just me, here, talking about how much of a rebel I am. Hopped over to the Limerick Junction – Limerick City train. There were about 5 people in my carriage and I can’t [...]

Break in regular programming

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that my leg gave out on me yesterday as I was carrying my laptop. I fell to the floor, banging my laptop on the dresser and giving it an awful hard knock on the ceramic tiles of the kitchen floor. After making sure I hadn’t broken my [...]

Skycon

Yesterday, I popped down to Skycon down in UL’s computer society yesterday (after going to reception and not being able to locate it). Met with Livies and also with Kla and Lexia. Chatted for a while and then went in to see Randall Munroe, of XKCD fame, give his keynote. I caught the last bit [...]

Me and iPhone

Gosh, this is like one of those sordid love affairs that my Mum would watch in one of her soaps! This on-off-on-off relationship storyline is usually kept to Fair City or Corrie. Well, obviously the story wouldn’t involve an iPhone, but you get the point. We all know of my god-awful history with iPhones. iPhone [...]

The Saga Continues

*sigh* I woke up this morning, and what did I see? My badges. I have three badges. My ‘I TRUST TOMMY’ one, my ‘MEDIA WHORE’ one, and my ‘FECK THE RECESSION’ one. Well, that’s what they’re meant to say… Chocolate Whore I Trust Chocolate Feck the chocolate * Christssake! Isn’t there some legal something-or-other that [...]
