Paying Heed...

A friend of mine commented on this weekend’s repost to write about my disregard for detail concerning a comment I made in relation to the Terror attacks on the world in the past week. I’d like to at this point share with you my view on this. I had intended for my personal opinions on such political problems to remain closeted, however, I need to clarify my position. I have nothing but symapthy for those who...

Meteor Dies at the hands of Eircom...

Well, it’s happened. What I’ve feared for over 6 months, Meteor will now it seems be bought by Ireland’s most incredibly stubborn comany, Eircom – the former State-owned telecommunications company. This is doomsday for people who loved the fun company meteor and its excellent offers and deals, such as the Free Texts for Life offer held up to September of last year. Eircom are notorious for overcharging...

Weekend Report...

Bed blog. That is to say, I’m blogging from the comforts of my bed. On a BlackBerry of course… Hmmmm, lots of B’s! Well this week saw more ‘terror’ in London, Egypt and Iraq. But on a positive note, Lance Armstrong, the best thing to come out of Texas since Dallas (think about that!) won the Tour de France for the 7th time in a row. Congratulations Lance (I know you’re an avid reader...

A Letter to Minister...

As a member of the Irish Speaking areas in Ireland, the Gaeltacht, I’m passionate about the new found reality of our language and it’s world-wide recognition. The body charged with responsibility for the language in Ireland, Foras na Gaeilge, went into partnership with Microsoft to develop the GUI of Windows XP Home and Professional editions in Irish. See: Windows XP As Gaeilge Not a huge advocate of the...

LOSERS dot ORG...

Now, I don’t know how I found this site (well if I told you you wouldn’t believe me!) so have a look. In fairness, anyone who thought a loser of me can seriously take it back because the comparisons drawn from this site and me in general are completely farsical! So if you think I’m bad, perhaps you’ll think better of me after seeing this site. (even the layout and design of the site is lost!) diarmy LOSERS...

I forgot to post these the last day with the Brandon Blog. So here’s what my lovely 2yr old Sony Ericsson T630 caught of the fabulous views. (Click the photos for the “full-size” version)

Weekend Update...

Ok so I’m neglecting the Weekend Updates a bit. But hey, it’s my blog and I’ll cry if I want to! (Crude joke!) So anyway what’s happened this week?? Well the further cry for control of muslim and islamic fundamentalism is ongoing with very strong fingers being pointed. At the risk of causing upset, I’ll keep my views to myself on this one. In my own life nothing too earth-shattering is happening....

WIL WHEATON DOT NET...

May I take this opportunity to reccommend this site. Wil Wheaton as you may remember was the child star in the critically acclaimed Stand By Me, and also as the amicable Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wil’s new book, “Just a Geek” is the passionate accountance of his life so far and is a great read. I’m currently delved into the opening chapters (so more to hear from me about...

Great Galway...

So I’ve returned to the city of the tribes in search of an aboad for the forthcoming academic challenges this term. The place is buzzing with traffic and life as the world famous Galway Arts Festival is well under way. The Macnas van has been spotted in various locations and street-performances out-number the shops on Shop Street. Add to that the fanatical flurry of Potter-mania as the penultimate installation of...
