Prague, and ill…

December 31, 2007

So here I am in Prague, and I have been in bed for the last few days. I was looking forward to getting away and relaxing for a little time, hopefully tomorrow I will be better as Anna nearly is and she has had the same thing for one day longer.
The fireworks have been [...]

Wolfe Tone Statue Stephens Green

December 26, 2007

I have wandered around cities in Europe and seen many statues of influential figures from the past. We today build these in memory of people who changed the world or tried – they are generally people who made a difference. I take photos of them and often go and read a bit to [...]

The Year is Gone – Again

December 20, 2007

God, time disappears. It has been a good year, as most are these days. Websites keep being built and I can see huge progress between this time last year and now.

Finishing Things is sometimes a problem. I can see how fired up I get at the beginning of a project, then it gets dull after a while. Really I have lost my enthusiasm, but mostly I think I have lost my focus – the reason why I started in the first place.
One of [...]

December 10, 2007

Working away today building links for some sites, the main being for a vat refund company. Mostly building links is slow and hard going. So why build links for a web site?

Vision Express Dublin

December 7, 2007

I bought reading glasses at Vision express about a year ago. And they were grand to start with, they look good and they are comfortable to wear. But they are hell to keep clean.
The previous specs I had came from a small optician in Maynooth when I lived there. They were fairly [...]

Living in cities.

December 6, 2007

Currently I live in Dublin. I have had the opportunity to also live in Prague and Vienna, and I grew up in Glasgow. Life in many ways is much easier in cities. It has always been easy to meet people and make friends, it is easier than outside cities to find good [...]
