(Untitled)
My parents' visit was awesome! We had a really good time and great weather, thankfully. Friday was a trip to the zoo and a fancy dinner out (soooo good), Saturday was the farmer's market and the Dublin Irish Festival, Sunday was brunch with Rachel and relaxing at home. Our evening movie watching consisted of catching Mom up on the Avengers films ( Read more... ) -
The parentals are on the way
So things are good here. I am now working at home two days a week which is fantastic. I find that I'm really productive - without that "want to go home" thing I'm quite content to sit in my home office and work well into the evening, past when I'd stay at the office.

Happy New Year!

We had cold temperatures and quite a lot of snow for a few weeks but now it's warming up rapidly - in the 60s by this weekend! - and raining, so ( Read more... ) -

Wrestling with iTunes video
I spent most of last night wrestling with iTunes, with the ultimate goal of being able to load it up with video for workplace background noise. I have a 160G iPod classic and I've only got like 20G of music so there's plenty of room, and the less I'm using the streaming wifi on my phone at work, the better. Plus I really really really want to be ( Read more... )
