Back from Dublin
Posted: 17th April 2007
Hello all! Apologies for the total lack of news on this site. Work has been quite hectic as deadlines have been hitting us and now it seems we are approaching the final straight which looks downhill.
Katie and I have just spent a lovely long weekend in Dublin and enjoyed it immensely. Managed to take quite a few photos so be sure to check them out. Walked around the town quite a bit, visited the Guinness brewery was great for many reasons including the fact that Katie now has a certificate proving that she can now pour the perfect pint!
Whilst we were there I ran the Great Ireland Run in a time of 49 minutes and 54 seconds (official). Very demanding course with steep and long hills especially when you haven't been able to train for the best part of 3 weeks. However I did manage to get interviewed by a camera crew so if anybody has a recording of this race, live or highlights please let me know and I will find some way of begging you for a copy of it.
As for the rest of my life I have quite a few things going on, especially in the development realm ranging from websites to learning C++ to designing a computer game so I'm keeping myself busy. A lot of this is thanks to my brand new laptop: the Dell XPS M1210. It allows me to be geeky on the move so no more boring long train journeys.....I'm sure that's hard for a lot of people to understand. I'll probably put some pictures of it up later - it also comes with Vista which in regards to my blog article about operating systems has met my expectations if only slightly exceeded them. It hasn't crashed yet but the Wow definitely has not started now....and probably never will.
And as soon as I turn on my laptop it crashes. So there you go...
