News bits 25th April 06

April 25th, 2006

Microsoft to offer free telephone support to testers. What does that say for the demand for telephone support? Wouldn’t this be going against the values set by the BBC if they started to use ads such as the example shown here, particularly the one that says they are to be independent and impartial ["Trust is [...]


Oh dear, no more alcohol

April 25th, 2006

And just like that I can no longer drink alcohol. As quickly as it started, it must end. Alright so its only for 4 months due to medication im going to be on, but still – not one drop of alcohol until the end of the summer. Gotta think of another way of celebrating my [...]


Get outta here!

April 25th, 2006

Normally showbiz and celebrity gossip (its not news!) is not the sort of thing I would read or tell anyone else I had read, but this is well worth telling. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes decided to name their newborn baby in typical celebrity fashion, settling on ‘Suri’. According to a statement, it had its [...]


Go to sleep

April 24th, 2006

I think I need to see someone about my lack of sleep, or not wanting to go to sleep. I am never asleep before 1:30 anymore, yet I have to get up at 7:30 6 days a week.

Girls like Geeks

April 21st, 2006

Yesterday I overheard possibly the most ego-boosting conversation. A few secretaries on their lunch break were discussing their ideas of the perfect guy. Apparently they all go for the ‘player’ but know they shouldn’t. Though they would ‘settle’ with the ‘nerdy geeky type’, like Seth from The OC.


buying a coat

April 18th, 2006

For those of you who don’t know what the climate is like in Ireland; generally, its cold. It may be spring – but its still very cold, as a result, I still need a coat on before i leave the house. The only real difference is that it’s occasionally sunny in the mornings, possibly through [...]


My face is numb

April 18th, 2006

Bad dentist! He made the whole right side of my face go numb. Thankfully it wasn’t too painful, more uncomfortable than anything. Also leaving me wondering exactly what he was doing most of the time, and whether he knew what he was doing. I guess he did. I’m gonna clean my teeth five times a [...]
