I swore I wouldn’t but some how I failed to say “no” when the opportunity presented itself. I intend to be less intense about it.

So, for my sins I have experience writing assembler (beat that), Java (hmmm) and that other stuff what’s it called, Visual Basic (cupla versions ago, let’s not brag about that) and am in the process of looking at possible Masters options. I can sort of battle my way around some php but with quite a [...]

I had one of the more painful trips to the beauty salon today, the one whereby they hurt you in the pursuit of beauty. Why’s this we do this again? Anyway, the bribe with which I bribe myself to do this is a trip into Easons in the shopping centre to check out the magazines. [...]

But I thought, what the hell, I’ve been complaining about being bored with the flowers, no kites, lousy weather and all that nonsense, and motor racing photography is [...]

I was pointed to this by one of my twitter contacts this evening.
Tom Humphries is one of the best, if not the best sports writers in Ireland. But somehow, I found this hard to swallow.
Am I alone in finding the experience of watching Dunne’s demise on Saturday a little too close to the pornography of [...]

Everyone seems to be writing about their memories of 9-11. I am not quite sure why, but seeing as they are, and I feel I’m every bit as special as everyone else, I have mine.
