Random thoughts from the last few months …

1: Its going to take a hell of a lot more for me to become a regular blogger :D

2: New York really changed my views of America .. maybe it was the people … maybe it was the apple store :D either way its a place I’d recommend to anyone to visit at least once

3: Moving house is HELL!!!! get a professional van hire crowd if possible it’ll save you in the long run. I’ve never had that much stuff to move in the past but this is just crazy.

4: O2 Broadband is actually quite cool … its not let me down too much so far … the odd drop off and a few strange happenings on the Mac but apart from that I’d give it a 7 / 10 … why not more … rates you get vary … a few glitches with the mac software .. but support on the phone was damn quick so I’d definitely recommend them

5: Dublin is quite a nice place … but maybe give me time … its my first time really living away from Galway … (apart from a month in france last year to get married and a few months in limerick before)

6: New years resolutions really don’t work … I’m still on the red bull and the coffee. I really think red bull / energy drinks should be banned.

7: Don’t let things get on top of you … don’t put off till tomorrow what you can get done today .. it’ll just end up piling up and making you stressed out.

8: Sometimes what you really need is a clean break from people you’ve worked with. I know its what I needed and so far it feels great.

9: Moving over to a Mac gradually doesn’t really work … just dive right in .. it’ll only really take you a day or two to get used to it … its also probably quicker to ask other people for advice on it all … they’ve probably gone through the same thing and time is precious.

10: I’ve a few pretty cool projects coming up … I just hope I’ve the time to get properly involved in them (These are non work related projects)

That is all … .nothing more to read … it’ll be months before I post again no doubt :D

    non work related projects ? I hope people aren’t getting you to work for free or anything !

    I’ve slowly moved from a few coffees a day , strong , I have this. I’ve subsituted with fruit drinks. There is a place in work that will juice 6 carrots a few oranges and apples into a 1/2 litre of juice for €2.70.

    no I’ve some semi cool paid projects as well as some pretty cool ideas for projects … having the VPS with Blacknight as well gives me a lot more control with what I install as well so :)

    I’m on a strange juice drink at the moment … celery / cucumber / apple … some people think its vile … I quite like it … but for 2.70 … damn I’d do that if I could :D … need to find a juice bar (though I think I’ve found one .. but its a juice bar on the side so to speak)

    “Hell you meet Skangers anywhere :) not just in Dublin.”

    I’ll take that as a ‘No’ then :D

    Do the 11 pairs of tracksuit pants on the clothes line next door count in someway towards the overall skangerness of the people :D

    Or the cops calling at their door at 7:30 yesterday morning ? :)
