Back from holidays

Friday, August 27th, 2004

Some serious driving later, we arrived back in Dublin last night … after driving from Dublin to Sligo, staying a few nights with Sinéad’s sister … driving from Sligo to Lahinch (west Clare !) and staying a few nights in a nice B&B there … then in one day, driving from Lahinch to Camp in Kerry (just outside Tralee) to visit a friend, and from there to Cork that evening to stay with Sinéad’s brother !

Madness I tell ya !

Some great pictures to post later though … a really cute one of Michael in Ballyryan in the Burren ….

Realtek 8180 again …

Decided to see if others (by now) had managed to get those cheap wifi cards working …

This site on getting the rtl8180 working in Linux (Slakware) seems to be a reasonable place to start again ….

Maybe later !

Woah ….

Over a month since I’ve blogged anything … heh … and it’s been a long ‘un as well …
Not really much I can say on here though, a certain project in work I was rushing to finish when Michael was born in March is due to go live, and suddenly (quelle suprise ?) the pressure is on …. given they’ve had five months to supply and test the data, you’d think we’d have finished it by now … instead I’m working all the hours I can get to try and get this thing out the door !

In other news … Wibble is wobbling his way toward the purchase of a geological sample for TOP – it seems there’ll be a bit of a shindig some time in the middle of next year !

Sinead has taken Michael away, down to her Uncles in east Galway … so I have the place to myself for the few hours I’ll be home tonight … might comiserate with one of the neighbours who’s habitually alone, as his other half works in England during the week … (it’s a hard life !)
