I’ll be getting bot a new mattress and cable TV/Cable internet on Saturday. The prospect of Digital Cable with HDTV and a 3MB cable connection makes me drool Should be cool – though I still need some furniture – a desk, a couch, a coffee table etc. The place looks so bare without anything – though the stacks of DVD’s books and cd’s help a bit – so shelves are on the list of things to buy too….
My stuff from Ireland arrived this morning – so I now have all my CD’s, DVD’s, clothes etc. Unfortunately I have nowhere to put them On the bright side though, I did get my new TV. Not a bad price either. Plan is to use that for now and them wall mount it in the bedroom when I get my bigscreen TV later. I’ve been looking at some of the 50″ to 60″ DLP screens but I can’t decide at the moment.
I’ve decided to document my little adventure in America. My previous attempt at a blog (http://adam.killingmachines.org) has fallen by the wayside somewhat, but I think with some of Blogger’s extra features, I should be able to rectify that situation. Besides all that – it will give me somewhere to moan about the red tape infested wold you end up in when you immigrate into the US these days.
Anyways, on with the blogging – after nearly 6 weeks in the country I finally have a new place to live – right next to Reston town center.
Well, it’s been a while and I have been busy. The main development is that I am now living in the US! Hence the lack of updates – getting my life sorted out seemed more important than blogging….
I think it’ll be good to keep a record of the move and my initial days, so why not here?
As usual, I have no time to write anything at the moment, but coming soon: Adam’s US adventures Share this: <div class="sd-content"> <ul> <li class="share-facebook"> <a rel="nofollow" data-shared="sharing-facebook-118" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://comerford.
Haven’t posted in a while but it has been busy. just got back from a surprise weekend in Kilkenny with Jen (surprise for her, not me followed by a business trip to London. In the middle of that I had that 24 hour bug that was going around so it feels more like 2 weeks than 5 days has passed.
Thanks to Jim for recommending Rinuccini’s – it was a lovely restaurant and Kilkenny was a very nice town in general.
Well, I downloaded and installed the Windoze version of iTunes. Damn, now I can’t feel all superior to windows only users about being able to use it on the Cube. It’s just the best there is out there, period……
Roll on the international iTunes store, pisses me off no end that it is US only.

Just an update on the post on Friday (2 before this). I’d said we were going to Salamanca for food -it was great! I definitely recommend it. We ordered 5 tapas dishes and they were gorgeous – of course anywhere that does good chorizo is always going to get a good write up from me Tom was very pissed by the time we got to him – he was in Q bar, not McTurcaills as advertised – and he was doing his best to chatup two twin sisters 😉 Now that’s how to leave a job………
This week has dragged in – thank God it’s nearly over…..less than an hour to go in fact. I can see it now, Sunday morning lie-in, getting up just in time to catch the kick off for Ireland’s next RWC match with Namibia, nice fry for brekkie at half time, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..
Back to the present though – off for dinner tonight in Salamanca which is supposed to be a pretty nice Tapas bar then out for a farewell party.
Well, things are coming together nicely – a friend of mine is going to the US and has agreed to bring the cable home with her That’ll save on the shipping and probably get it here a bit sooner too.
Now all I have to do is remain convinced that I do not need an Athlon 64 based system and everything will be OK —–

Now that everything has settled down I can get on with the G4 cube upgrade I had planned. A friend of mine in the US has ordered me a pre-made cable that will allow me to relocate the DC/DC board without having to resort to making my own. That should save me a lot of grief and possibly save my cube in the process given my cable making abilities Hopefully I’ll have it done for the Panther release on the 24th so my cube can render all the new shiny things in 10.
