Well hello, sailor! I've been back in Ireland for the past couple of days; I was quite lucky to get here, considering the snow. Here's a run-down of my life up to this point ( Read more... )

On my way to work yesterday, I saw a heron perched on a roof not far from my house. Another bird that I assumed to be a crow was flying around it, occasionally swooping at it, which would cause the heron to duck. Eventually it flew away, and the crow followed it aggressively. I meant to Tweet about it when I got to work, but it slipped my mind. I ( Read more... )

Oh wow, so much for writing about the rest of my Canada trip, huh? I thought I might be able to avoid falling into my usual trap of only updating about the first half of my holiday, by updating while I was over there, BUT IT TURNS OUT I WAS WRONG. I'm pretty sure I can't be bothered to write about it now, but here are my photos of the holiday, just ( Read more... )

I'm sure I probably say this at about the same time every year, but I really hate the hot weather.

In the afternoon I bit my tongue, and when my friend told me a story of someone who'd had a dodgy tongue piercing that hit a major vein, and almost bled to ( Read more... )

...That I never thought to do this before: I posted in the indie games forums that I've been frequenting since discovering Dyson last week, offering my services as a musician. The forums are full of people working on games of all kinds, including some of the big names on the indie games scene. Already someone has asked me to work on a future ( Read more... )

This is going to be purely a 'list of things that happened' kind of entry. I'm feeling a bit blank at the moment ( Read more... )

So, end of the month again. Most of us didn't get paid on time, myself included, so I'm a good way into my overdraft. It's cool, I can wait. I'm going to have to make a concerted effort to control my spending over the next few months, though, to balance my finances out a bit better. As to why we didn't get paid.. Well, our CEO gave us a reason, but ( Read more... )

Anyone care to see what I do at work? No? Oh.
