One of the things I love about travel is exploring the local cuisine. In some parts of the world that culinary adventure might involve highly refined restaurants, but in other parts of the world it’s much more rustic and down to earth. In Puerto Rico you quickly discover that roast pork is high on the […]
I’ve been in San Juan, Puerto Rico for just over a week. However, as I was attending a conference, it was only yesterday that I got the time to get out and explore a bit of the city during daylight hours. The old city is picturesque and fascinating. It’s got a long history going back […]
Finally, after years of having convoluted rules and processes, the .ie ccTLD domain name space will become easier to work with. From March 21st onwards it’ll be WAY easier to register a .ie domain name So with that in mind we’re slashing the price of 1st year .ie registration (and transfers!) to a mere €4.99 […]
Transactional emails and marketing emails are a part of my daily life. I get emails from companies I buy things from. Sometimes they’re simply an acknowledgement of my purchase, but others times they’re also giving me a “heads up” in case my account has been compromised. Apple, for example, does this when you download something […]
It’s that time of year again – Valentine’s Day. It’s the day when anyone who sells flowers or chocolates gets to make a killing and the rest of us, if we’re playing the game, get sucked into the expensive vortex. However if you’re single Valentine’s Day can be a bit of a pain in the […]
I logged quite a few flights during 2017, though less than other years. I posted a static image of my flights during 2017 recently, so here’s a slightly more interested animated version from App in the Air: It looks pretty cool and seems to be in the right order, which is both cool and kind […]
While I did clock up a lot of travel over the course of 2017, it was a quieter year overall. Of course “quiet” is relative. Here’s a visual overview of my travel in 2017: Since I tend to fly mostly with Air France / KLM a lot of my flights get routed either through Paris […]
Irish comedian and actor Frank Kelly, who passed away last year, is probably best known to some people for his role of Father Jack in Father Ted. His version of the 12 Days of Christmas”, below, is hilarious and a classic.

One of the “gaps” in my smart home setup at the moment is the burglar alarm. The burglar alarm I have in the house is functional and if you set it off it’ll make plenty of noise and drive my neighbours nuts! But it’s not “smart”, which means that I have no way of monitoring […]
Over the past few months I’ve found myself getting “excited” about things that never really featured on my radar previously. Who would have thought that light fittings or sockets would be things I’d ever really care about? I’m not complaining, but I do find it rather amusing. When I bought the house the kitchen was […]
