Siem Reap: Gastronomic Adventures
Our first breakfast place was a random choice, settled on because it was cheap and served noodle soup. On the second morning, we did a little more research and picked the Sister Srey cafe, a little breakfast and lunch place only a few doors down from our hotel. Sister Srey’s has a rustic, pop-up feel…

Siem Reap: The Great Escape and HAVEN
Farewell Cambodia, and hello Laos. We made it into Pakse on a tiny plane and it’s just about time I told you what we got up to in Siem Reap. I finished the last post with the three of us sitting in the Red Piano (the famous haunt of Lara Croft in human form), sipping…

Cambodia, Madness as Usual
Just a quick note: I’m struggling with my blogging workflow thanks to a less than ideal tablet and a phone and camera that won’t talk to each other. As a result, some of the photo quality is less than ideal, but hopefully it should be resolved soon. Enough of that, what about Cambodia?! We made…

Cambodia Bound…Again
After an early start and a drive to Dublin, we ended up at the airport around 4.15 am. Avoid 4.15 am if at all possible – it is much to early to be pleasant. Adrenaline kept us going, and the promise of having our bags checked all the way through to Siem Reap. The first…

Summer Gaming, and Travel
As my fingers glide over the keys of my IBM Model M keyboard, producing that oh-so familiar clack-clack thanks to the buckling spring, I can’t help but feel at home with my humble writing setup. My desktop computer has finally made it to Belfast, along with my old BenQ monitor. The kitchen table has become…

Yet Another Garden Update
I originally wrote this post for the Lismaine Cottage blog, but it has a gadgety vibe, so I’ll cover it here as well. It’s not lazy, I’m merely doing my part for the environment…recycling. Well, with a little bit of a rewrite, in a more personalised style. I tend to keep my sense of humour…

B&B for Beginners
As always, it seems as though the more free time I have, the less I actually do. I haven’t really written anything in a while. All of my creative energy has been drained and funneled into writing website descriptions and listings on an endless variety of online directories. Consequently, I fear for the life of…

B&Bs and Static City
Lismaine Cottage Finals were a few months ago, and results have come and gone. Have I had even more time than ever before? Nope. I keep finding things to do. We’re in the process of opening a bed and breakfast in my family home in Magheralin, and I have been handling the technical and legal…

An Apple a day, keeps the Genius in pay
The (much too) common cold Illness, even minor, can be a real headache. And sometimes, just sometimes, that illness encompasses headache, too. It couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’m preparing to shoot a wedding at the weekend. As usual, I’m determined to beat it into submission. Combing through the medical literature in…

Fallout and the Lost Game
I started the Ordinary Decent Gamer YouTube channel shortly after Christmas. I wanted to get into making game-related videos for some time, but I managed to pick one of the worst times possible. Sure I had some spare time, and the material to work with, but it was in the lead up to my finals…
