Night gathers, and now my travels begin
Portland, baby! I had originally intended this to be a longer post, but because of time constraints and ridiculous ambitions to fix a dlsr lens whilst packing, I didn’t get much of a chance. I’m sitting on the bus from Banbridge to Dublin with Alan, and starting to get excited about the mammoth trip we’re…

Living with the Atrix
This is going to be a relatively short post; practically just an update on how things are going with the new phone. The Atrix is a fantastic phone and has proven very powerful and capable of handling everything I’ve thrown at it so far. I’m typing this post on the lapdock whilst lying in bed.…

So many distractions!
I’ve been trying to work as much as possible coming up to the start of my exams this Thursday. There’s so much stuff! And it really hasn’t been helped by my excessive spending recently. I was in Scalini’s on Wednesday with the sci-fi society which was pretty good, though not quite up to the standard…

A Cabinet of Curiosities
I know I said the blog would be suspended for the time being, but I was in a bad place last week, and I now wish to retract my statement. I simply can’t not write! (please forgive the double negative). Last week I attended a lecture along with my dad at the F. E. McWilliam…

Easter is over, and now a slight haitus
My Easter has been all over the place this year, even though I’ve managed to stay within the confines of this little country. I’ve been back and forward from Belfast for driving lessons, my test, revision, and meeting up with friends (and Northern Ireland Fencing, of course). I’ve also been doing a spot of fence…

Productive procrastination
Another busy week, which is becoming the norm these days. There’s always so much going on between university, fencing, filmmaking, plotting and fixing computers. And my driving test is now safely behind me, as of Wednesday, and I’ve never felt better. My posts seem to be getting later and later as time goes on, but…

REwind: Issue One – New Old Beginnings
I’m taking a break from the usual stuff to write about something rather different, which I’m also quite interested in. I’ll be back with a normal post next week. The story so far – I was discussing blogs with my friend, who had expressed interest in writing a tech blog, which got me thinking about…

Recovery
It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

Sleeping Rough
The title really says it all. Along with some friends, I’m sleeping rough in front of Belfast city hall, all in aid of raising homelessness awareness. It’s organised by Homed Belfast, and queen’s students are out in droves to support the cause. Let me tell you, it is pretty damn cold out here, and it…
