So there’s no intertubes in work at the moment not even to the groups local file storage which has all my work stuff on. It’s now 10:20 I’ve been in since 9 (would have been earlier but the walk in is slow when you don’t feel the Mae West and it’s very icy underfoot). Someone… Read More

This is great. That is all. Later days, Halo

Since QOTSA last week I’ve been pretty busy volunteered two nights for Masque Of The Red Death and went to Leicester to see Aoife, Leo and Erin. The volunteering was good craic as usual and got a chance to see the finale one night which is pretty cool. The trip to Leicester was relaxing and… Read More

Woah I’ve been pretty busy lately with gigs (reviews below), volunteering (it’s great craic no matter how weird it sounds), the gym (I didn’t get this figure by eating shedloads of chocolate, oh wait I did that was the problem) and Sarah was over for the last time before I return to Ireland for Xmas.… Read More

I got tickets for The Smashing Pumpkins in the O2 in February, standing, woo hoo. Then Scarlet Mist gave me tickets for the Foos tomorrow in the O2, OK they are nose bleed seats as far as I know but I can’t miss this tour. Nice. Later days,Halo

Guess what I just saw an ad for? The Mighty Boosh season 3, Al got me into this over Xmas last year. It’s quite frankly one of the funniest shows on TV and proof that the Brits (and BBC in particular) write the best comedy. It is definitely in the same vein as Blackadder, Monty… Read More

Off to see Will Haven play The Islington Academy, not a fan really but entered two draws to get put on the guestlist and got both of them, ha ha ha ha. It’d be rude not to go. Two days left in the week … Later days,Halo.

I’ve just updated the WordPress code here and on the Alchemist Cafe so it’s a little bit more secure, allows you to tag posts and a whole plethora of little things I probably won’t notice. The tags have allowed me to tag each gig with the (important) bands that played a gig so you can… Read More

So I’m no big Sony fan, but I did get a PS2 at the European launch oh so many years ago. The machine is still at home (actually think Turlough may have somehow got someone to swap the original for a slim, he’s that good) and it is still working (OK I think the original… Read More

If you missed the news, Gmail now does IMAP, sweet so that’s all my email accounts on IMAP. Now if iCal and Google Calendar played nice and could synch so I can edit/view my calendar online and with iCal that’d be great. Wonder if I’ll get any ping back spam from this post. Later days,Halo

Well paint me purple and call me Jane, I’ve been busy for the last while. I’ve been doing that volunteering (which is great craic), working and been to a few gigs (reviews below this post). This week doesn’t let up between Masque of the Red Death, the gym and gigs I’ve only tonight to myself… Read More

So Sarah was just over for the weekend and we took it easy. Didn’t do too much, saw The Counterfeiters, Ratatouille in the cinema and went old school punk and saw The Undertones in The Shepherd’s Bush Empire. No pictures due to an incident the results of which can be seen here (replacement on the… Read More
