I’ve been up to many things over the last while which I haven’t posted about.

I went to Scotland to visit Meg for her birthday, and also went down to Stockton to visit Poppy for a night. Photos of the trip can be found in my new flickr account.

I was given A Weekend in the City as a present from Meg and I purchased The Prayer on Vinyl (which happens to be my first Vinyl) while I was in Scotland. I’ll write a review some time soon.

I got Perspective up and running at work. It’s quite impressive and I would recommend anyone in a Windows based environment to check it out.

SkyCon happened. And it went quite smoothly. I met some great people at the conference (of which I have taken some photos). I also took 6 hours of video which I will be processing and editing over the next few weeks. Watch this space. I was also interviewed by the LugRadio guys for their show which should be online on Monday the 26th.

I started a new semester in UL which is cool, finally we have some computer related modules again (I’m currently in AM-061).

I finally got listed on Planet Nonado, seven months after I ask that my blog be aggregated. *grin*

meanwhile……………….asking your ageing gran to walk the tightrope whilst holding a mixamatosis infested rabbit during a rare bout of gastroenteritis is an utterly useless catalyst for translating global plate shifting patterns in an attempt to reduce volcanic activity in kilmacthomas

Anyone who knows me should know that it takes alot to stress me out… and I’m currently stressed out. Where do we start?

  • The work bit of work was fun… Customers range from the technologically ignorant (yes, a button… no not on clothes… I’m sorry, are you from the past?) to the foreigners who don’t pay their bills and blame it on you and the 21 year olds crying down the phone to you for some form of free credit (I’m sorry, you appear to have the wrong number, this is not a charity).
  • Next, Apparently I’m heading off to London in about 7 hours. Last weekend I sorted out a shift swap so one of the guys would work my shift tomorrow and all was well… Apparently not. He cant make it and I’m left wondering if I’ll get to go to London tomorrow. I’ll find out about an hour before the plane takes off it i can get on it or not.
  • Got in a small bit of trouble at work too. During my break one of the guys was on a call and I nicked his shoes (he had taken them off) and threw them in the Comms room. Then locked the Comms room and went back to taking calls. Then sent around a mail saying “Laugh at X, He has no shoes”. Everyone laughed. Except my supervisor.
  • So finished work at 12 and cycled into town to congratulate my Girlfriend on her finishing the Leaving Cert. Had no ID with me and so couldn’t go drinking (badly needed to). Then on the way home the chain of my bike got lodged between the gears.
  • And finally was told “Why haven’t you packed yet?”.

I cant win :(
