34 Years Old + 124 Days

Thursday...

Myself and Rick worked on a few drawings. I finished of 3 laptops today too, so that was good to get through them. The work is not so bad when the computers come in, you work on them, and then they ship out again pretty soon.

34 Years Old + 123 Days

Wednesday...

One of those non starter days, I speat loads of it trying to fix a software problem on a computer. Which I should not do of course, I can fix the hardware and the operating system all right, but when it is a specific piece of software there is no reason that I would be necessarily be able to fix it.

On the flip side, I did apply for a job today. A help deck job... hmm.

34 Years Old + 122 Days

Tuesday... 4th of January...

4th of January is significant to me, it is the date when myself and Linda officially began going out. So today was our 7 year anniversary. So to celebrate the event, we went out to what is now our favorite restaurant Cava's in Galway and we saw "Little Fockers" afterward. Fantastic food, silly film, lovely night..

34 Years Old + 121 Days

Bank Holiday Monday over here in Ireland, or here in Ireland if you are currently in Ireland.

We were meant to throw out the recycling bin but because it was a bank holiday i thought they weren't coming, of course, the came so I guess I will have to burn all my paper instead in the back yard... like we did in the old days before Ireland was rich and had so many people on the payrole that they could hire a man for every village in the country to spy on the locals to make sure that they were all keeping in line and back when the ozone was but a young hardy buck and not like some thin veil of silk that was drapped over a princesses face as she stood at the alter in front of prince charming about to tie the knot. Yes... there will be fire.

Myself and Rich have started on a little project that is making a few page comic book. Not sure how it will turn out except to say that is going to rock.... watch this space!

34 Years Old + 120 Days

I found out today that 2 people have "Signed Up" to my online browser based game "Alpha07". Even my writing that line like that makes it more hype than it is worth at the moment. I fully accept that it is only a pet project at the moment, but I see the potential that it has and all that I could do with it, so I am going to keep on working on it. When I looked in the DB I realised that 1 other new person had signed up too, so thats cool, get some opinion going.

We had a game night this night, and it was class. Wallace (1 of the new Alpha registrars) and Dee were there and Rick (and Alphaite) and Mart with myself and Linda. I have to say, board games in Ireland are so under rated! You hear all the silly cliches on the radio and stuff about family getting together and having big fights over it because they are all drinking, but I think alot of that is media crap just to talk about something. Basically, we had as we always do, a good night except that last night had a touch of the absolutely hailarious about it.

"Good times, good times...." 

34 Years Old + 119 Days

He Actually Is A Rolemodel!
Got my first computer job today. Thats cool, hopefully I will be doing alot more of this now.

Linda went up to Castlebar today with Sophie so I was taking care of Lucy all on my own! Ahhhh. But it wasn't bad, like alot of kids her age she slept for a good streach during the day and when she woke up I took her down to my parents for dinner. So handy having parents close to you for that reason alone, free babysitting, they generally care, and they always provide dinner for the young-ons.

When Linda and Sophie came back in the evening, Linda had to pretty much turn on her heals and go out the door again to the cinema, what a tough life she has! I do not know the film they where going to look at...

We found out that someone close to Linda is engaged but I do not know if I can say it because this person has not told all of her family yet for some reason. But speaking of films above, while I was doing things around the sitting room and kitchen, I watched "There Will Be Blood". Linda is all that fond of the film so it really was a good time for me to be watching it. I love it so much. I love the Daniel Plainview character played by Daniel Day-Lewis. He is class, but what I find disturbing is how much I relate to him....

34 Years Old + 118 Days

Friday 31st December.

I have explained before I think about the way that I update my blog? Well lets say this day is 118 days after my 34 birthday. I am blogging my whole year. So it should be Friday 31st December 2010 = 34 Years Old + 118 days however that is not always the case. In reality a day runs into the night, so while day 118 started off on the 31st it ended up in a different year! So in that regard happy 2011. That is so much handier to write! 2011...

The day was cool started off by looking at 2 films in the morning with the kids, something I should do more often. Linda gave me some time off during the day and I got my php game alpha07 working online. It can now be seen at the following address

http://www.cupantae.ie/alpha07/index.php

If you do go to it, please please please, tell me what you think honestly. I know what it is myself, and for my first game that is written as a lesson in php I like it. You can only help, but I would love to see a "real" person in the game, doing stuff... there is hardly anything to do either by the way, so I guess I should have an updates page.... hmmm. Anyway, if you are so inclined, please register.

It was moms birthday too today. We were down at her house and took a nice family photo, minus Bree obviously.

But for new years night, a few people came down and we played Settlers! It is now a time honoured tradition, as in, we did the same thing last year. It was cool, nice and relaxing.

Happy New Year Everyone!
