Holidays and so on
I have been lazy. Lazy and busy. Exactly how lazy I’ve been compared to how busy I have been is up for debate, but the general gist is that I either haven’t had much time, or I’ve been out of the country. I did not even get a chance to wrap-up my little bit on…

Q-Con: Friday and Saturday
I eventually made it into Q-Con, long after the Halo 4 tournament, the one tournament I would have been interested in joining, had finished and the short films had been screened. The short film competition was quite possibly the worst advertised aspect of the weekend and in a bad place from a time perspective, as…

Q-Con XX
Q-Con XX is here, and officially commenced at 5pm GMT. Q-Con is the annual gaming convention held by QUB Dragonslayers, the gaming society, and the convention is the largest in Ireland. So, was I in the midst of the hubbub and excitement of the event? No, I was not. I was hanging curtains, in Magheralin,…

Unboxing the Nook Simple Touch, sheep shearing, and more
I should have posted the first part earlier in the week, as I got the Barnes and Noble Nook Simple Touch e-reader on Tuesday and have been using it profusely since. I am well into Under the Dome, by Stephen King, which is a pretty awesome book. He is probably going to be my author…

The end of exams
J’ai fini, mes amis Exams are over, and I am once again free! Free to sit and do nothing, and to enjoy my time off, though so far things have been busy enough. Sarah came back home with me for a few days, and we baked a coffee cake for mum’s birthday and father’s day,…

Half way there
Welcome back again, for a long overdue post. And what a day it has been! Who knew Northern Irish weather could be quite this good. By this stage, I will have probably been out cutting grass and kayaking on the river – all of the usual fair weather activities. Another exam down too, and now…

Absence
I have been missing from these pages from some time now, but I have not forgotten. I’ve had to call an ordinary decent hiatus until the end of my exams, or until I can face work no longer. The exams in question start next Friday, and run through to the 12th of June, so not…

If this is late don’t blame me, blame TalkTalk
I’ve been a tad busy since I started my surgical placement a couple of weeks ago – 8 am starts, right through to 5 pm some days gets to be pretty exhausting, and hence I haven’t had much time to do any writing. Then I got sick, which wasn’t too fun either. I spent most…

Puzzling the oddities of blogging
No matter how many different directions I take this blog in, it never changes the most popular topic. Back in September 2011, I set off on an epic quest. The quest was to take me through the darkest passages of the world wide web, and round the world (in my mind), only to curve back…

Musings about technology, and other news
Those of us who are of the technological persuasion find endless amusement provided by people who are less than gifted in the area. Things I hear regularly in my post as household IT consultant include, “The Xbox isn’t playing Blu-Rays”, despite buying a PS3 specifically for that reason. “How did I get my phone screen…
