Fancy pants!

Using the new iPhone app to write this, and I have to say, it’s pretty slick to use! Only just installed it, but it may mean I’ll update more often
In other news, I’ve booked my flights over for the beer festival, so I’ll be in London from august 8th till 11th -anyone fancy a [...]

twenty twenty twenty four hours to go

Until the Wicklow 200 -eep!
It’s a slightly weird feeling, because I know that I can do the distance fairly well -it’s not much longer than the longest spins I do with the boards lads, but because it’s an event with checkpoints and numbers and loads of people rather than a bit o craic on a Saturday [...]

Day Two on the track, and a secret weapon!

Pretty good day on the track yesterday, but it was maybe down to a secret weapon.
Since I got into cycling in a big way, and going longer distances (as well as pushing myself harder), I think I’d come to the end of where purely water benefits, and got into the whole world of energy drinks. [...]

Been busy lately..

Finished my project, and got it all handed in, so it’s some pressure off!
Got offered a job for when I finish, which I think I’m going to take
Designed cycling kit for a pile of us active on the boards.ie cycling forum, should be with us in about 4 weeks

Finally… my road bike arrived from Wiggle [...]


Leopard -Initial Impressions…

… are pretty good!
It’s flying along, be it down to a fresh install, or be it due to something else, it’s very snappy on my Macbook. I’m liking having Apache 2.2 installed as standard, as well as PHP5, and the  dock folder thingy is good, however I’d prefer it if you could go through a [...]


Stupid Fasthosts…

…have had a possible breech, so are recommending everyone change passwords for everything… that’s 271 domains I have to go into, change password, find webmaster address, and let them know about the change… there goes my weekend


Extravagent!

That’s been me these last few days!
I’ve finally got the funds together to upgrade my A/V stuff a bit, so the old Sony receiver is out, to be replaced with an Onkyo 605 - probably the best performing amp anywhere near its price range, so i’m very happy to have the boost in quality there, [...]

Stupid Ears…

Didn’t like the last stretch, so are now swollen, pretty sore and icky… back down to a manageable size and babying them, but they’re pretty mad at me!

W00t!

Off to get tattooed…. finally my upper arm will be done only taken 3 4 odd years to complete
Update
Well, 4 hours and a sighting of the lovely Claire in a 5 year old tattoo magazine, and it’s done…. mighty purty too if I do say so myself!

It’s a bit shiny, and not a good [...]

Strange Reporting?

It would appear that there are very few news sources reporting this story -basically an Irish firm is claiming to accidentally discover a way that theoretically produces energy from nowhere using magnetics.
As it says, a demo is ongoing in the Kinetica museum, and to my mind at least could be a huge breakthrough which makes [...]
