Tommy Industrys

When I was in second class in national school, I had aspirations of having my own company. I had it all planned out. It’d have walls, floors, in some places, even a roof. No seriously, we had water coolers for discussing stuff (has Wikipedia clouded my vision or are water coolers still used for water [...]

Laptop

Still reluctant to fix the underlying problem (anyone got 600€ in spare change?), I’ll just reseat the cable.

Unhappy Thought

So, today’s Thursday. On Saturday, it’ll be August. What happens in August? Well, you say, it’s now Autumn, the evenings are drawing to a close earlier each day and the weather is getting bad. Well, we don’t really get good weather here in Ireland, so let’s just say that the weather is getting progressively *worse*. [...]

Phones

Tapping here on the iPhone because, for what I’d imagine to be the first time in about a year, I have no internet device bar my phone. Odd feeling. Speaking of phones, aren’t they great? I know you have the Luddites who claim them to be the cause of every evil in the world, but [...]

Not a happy bunny

Laptop is on the Fritz again. Pretty sure it’s not meant to do that. Always the optimist, I can say that it was an amusing light show!

Piano

Taking advantage of the ‘rents being away for an hour to expand my piano playing prowess beyond one song. Yes, I’ll YouTube myself playing it once I’m done

Concerts

Photo owned by Samuel Aguiar (cc) Am I weird that I don’t like live bands? I’m not saying I won’t go to see, say, Pete Yorn or The Submarines in concert if they ever came to Ireland, but I’d be going because it’s them, and not for the sake of going to concerts. Maybe I [...]

Normal Service

Okay, so I was home yesterday, but I was quite laptopless, which is a sad state to be in. However, I collected my laptop from CompuB, speakers working and all, so we’re okay. Photo owned by leketoys (cc) Plans for the week? Got cousins arriving on Wednesday, then I’m off to the US (I do [...]

I don’t bite

Now, being human (well, close enough to one), I can’t say I’m that prone to biting people. However, one little French kid of about 5 apparently thinks I am. Allow me to explain: I was in the campsite library one night, taking advantage of their working internet (it’s patchy) to check email and talk to [...]

When in France…

…do as the French do. Something smells fishy… Mini-competition in the comments for a completion of the “Something smells fishy…” line. For example: “And I’m not talking about the contents of Baldrick’s apple crumble” Prize for the funniest!
