This title is my suggestion for a dialogue button on Microsoft Powerpoint, having just blown away 5 hours of hard work..
Memo to self: “Save early and often.” Now write it out 100 times.
One of the funnier things about blogging on WordPress.com is looking at the search terms people use to find my blog. So, in the spirit of public-mindedness, here are some of the best search terms and my earnest answers to their questions..
“ships budding”: Interesting concept. Lots of water and sun and you never know.
“bog smokers”: This is Ireland. That sort of stuff is banned here.
“what Ruairi did on September 19th”. Went to the shop. Bought a bar of chocolate. Got kicked in the shin by a 5 year old.
“findus och pettson”, “pancake man nordqvist”. Now HOW did my blog get hit by these search terms?
“hate spells” / “HATE SPELLS”. Try “anger management techniques”.
“SPELLS FOR MOTHER IN LAW”. Ah…, The mystery is uncovered..
“west coast of claire”. Clare is a county in Ireland. Claire is a girl’s name. Saying that a girl has a coast is not the best chat-up line in the book..
“man bog take” - man have smelly house, so.
This is going to be a crazy week.
I am back in work in Dublin today, trying to compress a full week’s work into one day. Then I have an internal training conference to attend on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday I have to be down in Cork to meet my doctor (and hopefully get the thumbs up), and then I scoot back up to Dublin so that I can attend my graduation ceremony!
And all this could change in an instant..
This video is incredibily thrilling and utterly frightening at the same time. Enjoy!

This story, concerning the fate of the senior editor of the CNET portal in the US is very tragic and very moving. What that young family went through in that last week in the Oregon forests is unthinkable.
“They stayed in the car all day Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, amid rain and snow, occasionally starting the car for warmth. On Wednesday, they used magazines and wet driftwood to build a fire. The wood was hard to get because it was frozen, Hastings said, so they tried to thaw it and keep it dry by putting it under the car. On Thursday, the Kims burned the spare tire, and on Friday burned the remainder of their tires for heat and to signal for help”
My thoughts go out to his family.
