For anyone keeping up with my twitter page, you’ll know yesterday was my birthday. So I can legally drink, smoke, vote, get married and various other things which comes with being an adult under Irish Law.
From my parents and brother I got a Budda Bag which is one of the most comfortable things to sit in ever. However I was up on my feet for most of yesterday so I haven’t got to breaking it in yet. From everyone else who showed up at the little shindig for friends and family yesterday (Mainly family since most of my friends are stuyding for that stupid exam on Wednesday) the gift of the day was cash.
Well that is pretty much that all comes to mind so I’m off to study now. I’ve made an updated list of what I’d like to do over the summer of which one is called HABP for the time being. Assuming it all goes to plan, it could be one of the best things I will ever do in my life.
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.
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.
So here I am in my kitchen blogging direct while I make myself dinner. At this hour I hear you say? Well to cut a long story very short, everyone else in the house is somewhere else so I get some peace and quiet for a while. And since I’m a very lazy eater I’ve only gotten around to cooking something now.
Although I don’t know if I would consider some rashers and sausages dinner. Then again I’m a lazy eater so the other choice would of been to order a pizza. (Which was done yesterday)
And in the backround I have my Xbox 360 streaming music from my PC via Tversity and I can say there is nothing quite like the sound of The Dandy Warhols - We used to be friends blasting out via the surround sound setup down in the sitting room.
If you happen to be on Bebo or related, you’ve probably seen this before (with much worse spelling) but I’ve decided to take it to the bloggosphere. Do it or die.
1. Whats your name?
2. Are we close?
3. What do you think of me?
4. Do you have a crush on me?
5. Would you kiss me?
6. Would you fuck me?
7. Describe me in 3 words?
8. If you had me for 30 minutes what would you do?
9. What was your first impression of me?
10. Do you still think the same?
11. What reminds you of me?
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?
13. How well do you know me?
14. What do you like best about me?
15. Ever wanted to tell me something you couldn’t?
16. Could you ever love me?
17. Give me a nickname and explain why.
18. Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?
19. Anything to say before you go?
In case you haven’t noticed (all you people who leave comments)
The comments are now handled by sxore which uses SXIP for identity management which whatever that is, has become my authentication system for comments which is totally buzzword compliant.
Also Defcon is out in about 10 minutes so everybody will die shortly!
I’m just a 6th year student who might be dead inside.
Moving on swiftly, I haven’t updated this blog in two weeks mainly because nothing that exciting has happened in the last two weeks. I’ve actually gone out on a saturday night with a friend to a club and ended being pulled onto the dance floor by some random person I did the whole double take look at 5 minutes earlier.
I’m going for my private pilots license with Flightwise where I have one hour of certified flying time already. Now I have to go email them and see when their next groundschool starts. The new server at SoftLayer is working out well so far although getting Ruby on Rails and PHP4 with FastCGI to work properly is turning out to be a pain in my ass.
So thats it for me at the moment, so probably see you in about 2 weeks then.
I don’t know why I thought Thursday but when I checked the school timetable I’m actually suppoused to come in on Monday for an hour and an half. Fuck.

And so I’m back from Amsterdam. I’ve been meaning to add more to my flickr account, but my upload speed and the amount of photos I have just don’t go together. However it is time to sleep and thats what I’m going to do.
Hello hello! I’m currently sitting in my apartment in Amsterdam on holidays. I just thought I’d let you guys know in case you were worried about my disappearence off the net.
Its clear blue skies and very warm here. Check out my flickr set here of the few photos I’ve taken while here. Expect more over the next few days. I’m flying back to Dublin on friday. So until then.
