  • Ell-Pick

    I haven’t been blogging much lately, so I haven’t tapped out some of the stuff I’ve been up to. One of those things was to sit two (cheap) Linux Professional Institute exams in the middle of last month. Net Resources through in Edinburgh were getting themselves organised to be the first LPI certification exam provider…

  • Saturday Past, Drinking Liquids, All In and Out

    sat 1445 GMT home -> car to mcphabbs (loads of guinness and munchies) -> air organic (loads of lager, spirits and a nice boak in the loo) -> $randompub (water and crisps) -> solid rock (guinness and crisps) -> kebab shop (keeebab!) -> firebird (guinness and chips) -> crash at a flat -> sun 1215…

  • 30th on the 30th (almost)

    It’s all been and gone … Update: 2004-03-28 15:34 BST If you wanted to come along, you’ve missed out — photies and stuff soon. What? I’m 30 years old on the 30th of March, 2004. I’ve decided that much drinking is in order, and that in the interests of fairness, that the drinking shouldn’t occur…

  • Zero Four

    Another year, another bunch of drinks 🙂 Went out with Andy, Jade and Jess — started at Jess’s, then Bar Oz, Waxy’s for the bells, and then some random flat out west. Good night, good craic, sorted. Made it home just before 8 — I only remember the actual time because I snapped a couple…

  • .ie: Home Again, Home Again, Jiggedy Jig

    I’ve been home since about half past ten this (yesterday) morning, caught up on email (about 2,200), said lo to lots of online people, slept, watched some stuff I’d taped onto the TiVo and Sky+, slept a bit more, ate, and I’m here typing now plugging in all the offline blog entries I’d made and…

  • .ie: Lemon Flavoured Graph Thing

    Dunno how, but the Vaio’s battery is down to 17% — I don’t remember it being this low earlier 😛 I’m up on the top mezzanine floor in Top Crust, just chowed down on some Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes (breakfast of champions), am still munching on a chicken and stuffing sandwich, and I have some…

  • .ie: Never Get Out of the Boat

    The first time I leave my seat in hours, and someone nicks it. And it’s a soggy bint to boot. I wandered away from my makeshift crash zone to check the screens so I knew roughly where I was checking in (row 8, as it happens), and when I got back — and I only…

  • .ie: Airport Survival Guide

    I’ve found a comfy(ish) chair upstairs in the check-in hall, I’m surrounded by a few foreigners on standby for random destinations, and it’s sleepy time! I have to say that finding a page all about crashing overnight in Dublin airport just made it even more clear to me two things: first, that the Internet is…

  • .ie: Comfy Chairs

    My plan was always — always — to get everyone to the airport in ample time to sit down, chill out, grab some munch/drinks, check-in and then go get their flights. And then I would find a comfy chair somewhere and crash like no-one’s crashed before. The reason for this is that while everyone else…
