It was a veryyyy good week..

what the post title’s alluding to My first full week back at school has been rather good. Like I’ve said, I miss waking up at 12:30 (got up at 08:30, shock horror) but perhaps that’s for the best. I’m back at school, where our work is being geared toward the Big Scary Thing In June [...]

Hacked

The scare of this morning is over. I woke up this morning and found a post of an unsuitable nature for this blog. Basically, something you wouldn’t want your mother/employer to see. It was stickied at the top of the blog, had no comment field and didn’t show up in my list of posts, and [...]

Phantom Post

If you see a post between this one and my Beatles one, or above this one, know that I didn’t publish it and my blog has been hacked. It’s a server issue and outside of my control. I’m working on fixing it.

Not like you

Hi.. I’m Tommy, and I’ve got a problem. It’s me, not you. I don’t like the Beatles. Photo owned by xemilysoo (cc) No really, I’m not just going against the grain for the sake of it. They’re ok, but nothing sensational. I’m not one of those people who sat in their living room with the [...]

Get in there?

Nokia ad at ARS Technica’s live blog for Apple’s Rock and Roll Can’t blame them for trying.

First Vlog!

How’s my speech? If I speak too quickly in the following video – do let me know in the comments! As I say in the video, I decided that TrustTommy.com was too much text and images, so we’re branching into video! If I’m speaking too fast to be understood in places, do forgive me. This [...]

Books

Even before I began blogging, I liked writing. There’d been writing competitions in primary school that I’d entered, with a story about a teenager going into space, or before that (2nd class.. I think) about the lead’s cat going missing. Despite that, I never wanted to be an author. Writing that much on the one [...]

Ruh Roh!

Spotify is onto me! I’m not actually from the Netherlands! Post title comes from watching too much Scooby-Doo when I was younger

8 days yet?

I’ve been trying to figure out how many days it is between today and the Saturday before last. More to the point, has it been over 8 days? I ordered a book from the local O’Mahony’s, and they said that it’d be here within 8 days. “Said” was never legally binding, I know, but it’s [...]

REM

The type of sleep or the band, whichever you want, like.. That’s this week’s music recommendation for you. I heard of it through Anthony, and then heard it via Spotify. Is it REM’s most popular song? Their most sought-after? YouTube says yes, I think
