Review: 2006 – A Year Gone By...

As I write this, my final entry for the year of 2006 in the Gregorian Calendar, I sit at home in Kerry at 04:30 on the last day of this 12 month period in time. A year of many events, however skewed in my brain’s timeline it may appear. The year started off with my continuing academic duties at University in Galway. At the end of a long and hard-fought battle with laziness, I managed to pull off my greatest feat...

An Internet-Free Weekend!...

Easter is one of the annual festivals for which I usually head back to the West of Kerry to visit my family. This year was no different, except for the certain apparent slowing-down of what I’ve come to be comfortable with in my fast-paced life. The internet cannot be denied by many including myself as a necessary life-enhancing element. As a nation, the Irish are a nation of talkers and thinkers, and not exactly...

Weekend Report...

Well, given the raw attack on my conscience regarding last week’s report, I guess I’d better err on the side of caution tonight!

In my own life nothing too earth-shattering is happening....

Weekend Update...

This week was another such week filled with European scepticism. With the French and British governments engaging in hefty tete-a-tete meetings, An Taoiseach was more blunt than I’ve ever seen! Things are quiet at this, most westerly and remote part of Ireland and Europe. Broadband is poking its lovely head out of places in the WiFi world which has finally come to Dingle. It’s been a quiet week too on diarmydotnet....

Weekend Update...

The first in my new “Weekend Updates” section brings news from the little town through which I was lovingly dragged up through my infant years, Dingle. Back once again to the tiny fishing port and tourist magnet, life has “dropped a cog” (driver-talk meaning to slow down by decellerating to a lower gear) since my move from the State Capital. A big shout goes out to my pals at Dingle Internet Cafe...
