Missed a dart by about 10 seconds – argh! 12 minutes til the next, would have been home by then but not bad for the time of night I guess Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-251" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.cc/2010/03/09/missed-a-dart-by-about-10-seco/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook"><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span></a> </li> <li class="share-twitter"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-twitter-251" class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.

Thanks to @StephenFry{.aktt_username} and his .net interview I now have blog/twitter integration via twitter tools – should have thought of that!

Year of Giving

While this site may not be my main outlet for ranting and rambling or even status updates at this point, it used to have a semi-decent page rank, so I’ll use it to let people know about a worthy cause/quest undertaken by a friend of mine, Reed. Reed lives in Washington DC and after becoming unemployed for the first time in his life (something I will have to deal with myself soon enough), he decided to give away $10 a day every day for a year to people and record it all while he did it.

Facebook, Twitter, Aol. etc.

Well, it’s the end of an era – Facebook, Twitter and Flickr have completely sated my need to publish things to the web. I may come back and resurrect the blog at some point, or I may try something completely different but it seems certain given my infrequent updates that the blog will be neglected for the foreseeable future, unless something changes drastically. Speaking of which, my Aol. days are now drawing to a close.

Probably No iPhone for me in Ireland

As this comparison shows, although the cost of an iPhone is reasonably subsidised, the data plan and associated call plans are very poor. It really is a disgrace – enough to make me not use O2 at all in protest. With that decision made, my only problem is the complete lack of a decent alternative – I have been reading up on several iPhone competitors (Nokia N95/96, Samsung Omnia, Blackberry Storm, LG Renoir) and none of them seem to be distinguishing themselves clearly.

For all those Dr. Who Fans

I had often wondered how the Ood came to be, something related to Hollywood Video perhaps? For more education related information check the garderie boisbriand website.

Done with work (for now)

So, I bid adieu to the US office Friday (*sniff*) – was a bit sad to pack everything up and clear out my office, but now comes the hard part – I have to sell everything we are not taking home. The sofa, coffee table, patio furniture and, of course, the car all have to go. Rather than doing that of course I procrastinated and did other things instead, like upload the inaugural photos and videos I took, and wrote this post Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-226" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.

Shopping before I leave

So, what to buy before I leave the US……this is a list that falls broadly into 3 categories: Electronics, Gadgets and Toys Clothes Stuff I don’t really need but that is much cheaper here OK, so most of the Electronics and toys fall into category 3, but given my buying history and my gadgetry related obsession they get a separate category in my head. Suggestions, ridicule and general wish fulfillment is accepted – what would you buy?

No More Exile

It has been quite a few months since I posted last and there has been plenty going on. The lask of updates was partly due to crazy work load and partly due to a gag order on blogging about the fact that I have to return to Ireland by March. Until all the appropriate people knew that we were going home, we didn’t want them to find out via a blog.

Baptacular!

Quick plug for Brian – he’s set up a travel blog documenting his latest S&M ritual….err road trip. You can find it at: Baptacular.com He’s already hit the future birthplace of Captain Kirk and will no doubt have many more wonderful adventures in store 😉 Technorati Tags: Brian, bapper, bmw, motorbike, road trip, baptacular, Captain Kirk Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-220" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.
