DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

I woke up on Saturday morning with an excruitating pain in my right eye. I put if down to tiredness given I was up at 6am for work on Saturday after working all week and being out Friday night, my eyes normally suffer pretty bad when I’m tired.

But driving to work on Saturday morning I had to slow right down once or twice due to my eye being so sore I couldn’t keep it open, and the fact that I had tears streaming down my face from it. That was the general pattern for the day, but I could not for the life of me remember anything blowing into it, or sticking my fingers into it or anything the like.

Sunday morning, was slightly better but still pretty bad. Managed to get through the day slightly better than Saturday, and I thought perhaps it was getting better.

Yesterday was better again early in the day, but as the day went on it got worse again, to the point where I went to the doctor last night, but he could find nothing wrong with it.

Today, it’s back to the really bad pains again, so I’m going to get myself off to see some sort of specialist. Don’t know if I’d be better going to an optician or the eye and ear hospital. I suppose I’d be more decisive if it was some other part of me that was broken other than my eye, cause there’s one thing that gets me really squeamish (when otherwise I’m normally fine with blood and guts) and that’s my eye, to the point where two nights in a row I’ve had nightmares about getting stuff done to my eye…yuck!

I’ve just gone on a bit of a rant with my comment on pron’s blogging of the Leinster rugby match at the weekend. I’ve got it out of my system now, but if you want a read of what I had to say have a look

Well, I finally brought a Linux machine into production as my main desktop in work. Gone and left Windoze 95 behind at last. I’m currently running RedHat 7.3 and so far I’m pretty happy with how things are going. There’s one or two things that I’m having a bit of trouble with, but I’m sure I’ll be able to work around these and wont have to revert back to doze too often!

Ah yes, good oul M$ just gave me a giggle again. I’ve been reading over an article# on internetnews.com extolling the virtues of Windows 2003.

What gave me a particular laugh was the below line

Service providers, Martin said, need a shared infrastructure to host more complex applications as efficiently as possible. In the competitive hosting market, economy of scale is critical. “It’s about manageability. Everything you can automate will benefit you by a thousand times over.”

So, er, where does Windoze fit into this?!?

Hmm, for some reason I’ve had feck all to say on here in the past day or two! Makes a change me not having anything to say I suppose, and I know plenty of people who’d say there’s no harm in that!

I see Natasha from Atomic Kitten has won Rear of the Year this year. Never really paid much attention to her, but I’ll be looking closer in future! ;o)
