Jason sent me a link to this a few days ago and I have to say I am so blown away by how cool this clip is. It is Pulp Fiction in Typography and my god, it’s so damn awesome.
I’m also working on draft post about DemoBar/PaddysValley/OpenCoffee too. Needless to say, it was awesome.
Originally I got my mobile from Vodafone, but unhappy with their policy on credit expiring after 30 days (I always lost lots of credit that way) I switched over to O2. After they fumbled the switchover I should of seen the signs. Although I did manage to get the best part of 120 euros worth of free credit from them because of it
Over the last few days, I’ve become fed up since I’ve started using my phone more and more. Sitting down remaining still talk to someone, only for the call to disconnect. People on Vodafone would tell me when they dial me, they hear out of service and so on. I wouldn’t receive calls at all at times. So adios O2. I’ve switched back to Vodafone (Also take a hint O2, their sim switchover pack is free.)
Yesterday I stepped inside Google’s EU headquarters for a SAGE-IE meeting that David Malone was giving on “Possible Questions to ask when Interviewing Sysadmins”
A very good talk considering I’m now at the stage where I’m going to be sending out CV’s for applying for jobs in the whole networking/sysadmin area. I was pleasantly surprised to find I could answer some of the questions in a decent level of detail (considering my experience) while I could give partial answers (Who knew if UDP was being filtered you can send an ICMP unreachable response back, always believed it was a fire and forget protocol, which it is to an extent) to others.
The only one I found myself stumped at was printing in linux/unix because I’ve never used linux/unix before on the desktop long enough to actually set up printing. At the moment this is my current mindset
Servers = Linux/Unix
Desktops = Windows
Before I anger someone, this is my personal view and each to their own.
I don’t think I could describe the Irish any more accurately then this.
I was in town today dropping off forms to the CRO (who could really do with air conditioning in their office) and on my way back home I stopped off in McDonalds for a bite to eat (What can I say, I’m a classy guy)
The fire alarm went off while I was biting into my burger and so the guy sitting beside me and myself in perfect sync turned around to see if there was flames behind us. Satisfied we were in no immediate danger we turned back around and finished eating.
And all I can say that its freaked the shit out of me. These people obviously have some very deep rooted psychological problems that they should really get some help with. When you get to a stage in life where you refer to a over sized piece of plastic as ’she’ and feel stressed out from being separated from ‘her’ you know you’ve got some problems.
I’m back from wee bonnie Scotland (Well I came back Monday, i’ve been lazy since)
Some of the highlights have been:
Cute girl on plane who I was talking to
….Then she told me I sound like I have some time managment issues.
Meeting Nick and Kirsty (My partner in business/crime (delete as necessary))
Spending the majority of time watching movies/playing games
Spending the night before I go home actually talking about the business and doing necessary paperwork. And all about Project Pontouf at some ungodly hour in the morning.
Going to bed when the sun was rising
Eating breakfast at 5pm
A photo diary:
Shame about my finger cutting off the last bit of that photo.
