New stuff

OK. We’re back to the old theme. Majority rule and all that. Still, I have made some other changes. You also can now find my tweets, if you only direct your eyes to the right of this post –>> Also, what I’ve decided to do is let people fully view my statistics. So what I’ve [...]

Music: My tastes

I think for someone as big a music freak as me, my blog should reflect this. I don’t think I talk about my music tastes half enough. And OK, I know that most people think that I love the Dresden Dolls and no one else. They may be my favourite band, but they are far [...]

Phones in school

A friend of mine in Dublin got his phone confiscated in school today, and this got me thinking about the whole should-phones-be-confiscated-in-school argument. I think it all depends on the circumstance. Obviously, if someone is texting during lunch, it should be taken off them. But, what if someone rings them? Again, depends. Students should obviously [...]

The Chocolate Wars

I set up a new blog yesterday. Don’t worry! Trust Tommy isn’t going anywhere fast, it’s just that the whole chocolate thing me, Damien, Lexia, Alan, Livies and co. have got going was seemingly getting shown exclusively on TrustTommy, which I didn’t feel was right. Then again, I’m the only one here with a brother [...]

Meeja

Borrowing the blogger’s term for the media today. I thought I should :-) Spin South West, a radio station based from Raheen in Limerick City and broadcasting to County Kerry, County Limerick, County Clare, North Tipperary and south-west County Laois, called me last night and asked if I’d be interested in doing an interview on [...]

Eircom Block Customers from Accessing Pirate Websites

The Business Post reported on how mobile giant Eircom plan on blocking file sharing/P2P (peer-to-peer)/music pirating websites in an attempt to put a stop to music piracy. The news was greeted by bloggers and folk alike with generally the same reaction: they were unhappy that their internet usage was being policed in such a fashion. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
