  • Let it snow!

    Not what I expected this morning upon waking; a Winter wonderland. Nothing quite brings a smile to the face like snow. 🙂

  • Handover of Funds

    With all the doom and gloom about, this post isn’t about handing over funds to the ECB, IMF or any other such organisation. Instead its a happy story of my recent cheque handover to the Irish Heart Foundation. A handover of all the money, very generously donated by you kind folks out there in internet…

  • The Essence of the Problem

    ,

    Yesterday I overheard a conversation while trying to shake off some stress at the gym. This conversation captured perfectly why this country is in such a mess. It started with a moan about how everyone has lied to us and then how it was time for them to be ousted from power. It culminated in…

  • Fianna Fail’s Ireland

    ,

    I never considered emigration; until now. Not because of Ireland’s debt or related problems but because of the people who have put themselves in charge of this treehouse club, this joke of a country that is without a shred of democracy, this poodle of the EU and any other power that wants us to break…

  • Another 26.2 miles of charity

    Those of you who know me will know that I like to raise a bit of cash now and then for different charities and may well recall that I decided to torture myself with a marathon a few years back, in aid of the local hospice facility. Well, I’ve decided to do the same again…

  • Lost the ability to criticise?

    ,

    What is it with the modern era? I know personally that whenever I express genuine concern or lack of faith in something that I find to be either worthless, dubious, or simply lacking moral guidance, I find myself being shunned and “opinion barred” by both professional and personal acquaintances. What is it about criticism (constructive…

  • Mobile Blogging with Android

    ,

    So, I’ve had this WordPress app on my HTC Hero for a while but never used it until now. Now being defined as a prolonged moment of brain ache and lack of productivity. Also readable as I’ll try anything to kickstart my thoughts again and get back to work. The first thing that I notice…

  • Why I must not buy an iPad

    ,

    I’ve been guilty of the moniker “tech fanboy” for most of my adult life and a greater part of my childhood. In the last decade I could even have proudly worn the title of “Mac fanboy”. However, there comes a time when, in spite of my own desire for technology, I have to draw a…

  • It’s Like Blogging a Dead Horse

    Regular readers (ahem, cough) will no doubt notice that my rate of updates has been somewhat stifled in recent times; I don’t blog like I used to anymore. So, what’s happened? Has everything in the world stopped or have I just stopped leading a life that gives rise to interest and the need to talk…

  • Hero Problem on Meteor Network

    ,

    For some time now, anyone with their ears open will have heard of the “lock out” problem that is supposedly attributed to a 2G/3G handover issue on Meteor Ireland’s network for all users of the HTC Hero. Now when Meteor became the first Irish operator to launch an Android device last year (i.e. the Hero)…
