For those who are wondering about le examen oral, it went reasonable ok.
In my mum’s never ending quest to have at least one redecoration project always in progress in the house, she decided to have the hall, stairs and landing plastered to get rid of the current texture on the walls.
Thursday: Got someone in for a quote and time etc
Saturday 8am: Arrived with equipment and friend
Saturday 6pm: Finished and gone.
I think I’ve figured out why plastering is done when a house is being built, because it is the most incredible bitch to get rid of. I look in areas I washed off with a cloth last night and they are once again covered in this fine white dust. I suspect it will be several weeks before the house returns to some sense of normality.
Tomorrow morning I’ll sit the Leaving Cert oral exam for French. I was doing some last minute clean up of my pronunciation today with my french teacher and she said I’ll do fine but there was a serious wtf moment during it.
Lets set the scene, we’re talking about le ordinateurs and how j’aime travaille avec les ordinateurs. And she’s trying to think of any weird question that the examiner could throw at me. So the question is popped, what do you do on the internet? Research?
I was slightly thrown at this and said “I suppouse you could call it that” It was the first thing that came to mind, its not easy to explain you have a blog to look after, update your twitter page, keep up on your RSS feeds and be the CTO of a small web hosting company without sounding like a total dork. So I paused on how I could explain this and she looked at me and then said “I don’t want to know actually”
My mind jumped to the seedy side of the internet and I started laughing while going red like nobody’s business. She started to laugh too and my response was “Everything I do on the internet is totally legitimate” Which when you think about it, isn’t much of a defence against anything. I have three words embedded in my mind now “Dig up, stupid”
For anyone in the hosting business you should be watching out for what SoftLayer do in the market. My experiences with them have been nothing but fantastic. And I just got a very interesting email from Mary which again proves they have to be one of the most top notch places out there. I can’t say what it is yet but its just such a simple and cool idea.
Easter holidays hurrah! Two weeks of relaxing.
I might of mentioned it before or I might not of but if you own an Xbox 360…. Buy Crackdown. Its just a game you can pick up and enjoy without having to get into it. Go in blow the shit out of some bad guys and then leave. Its just a fun game to play.
And I’ve just updated Wordpress to the latest version because of another round of security updates. I don’t know about you guys but does it seem updates are coming out more often for Wordpress in the last 6 months, I know I could go look at release dates and so on but that requires effort.
