2011 it's still kinda new?

I've been working on my masters, projects, exams and I've got a new job.

So excuses aside I will be posting more regularly this year!

Comment Spam

You right a post about Google Webmaster tools and it's like flies around sh.....

It's amazing how much spam a single subject can bring you!

A new start I swear...

The last post was about being a lazy poster and then over a month later I'm pretty much going to say the same thing.

Marathon is finished, well for this year, a slow 4.46.20 but I really enjoyed this one.

Now expect a post every couple of days from now on.

Lazy Blogger

I have many excuses and some of which are pretty good, but the main reason I've not been blogging is I'm a bit lazy.

I've been training for a marathon and working and living my life so I've not been twiddling my thumbs.

I will try harder though!

Wow I can sign in

I haven't been able to sign in to this blog in a few weeks and I'm not sure what the problem was. It's cleared up now so I have no excuses!!!

I've been busy

I'm getting less and less time to update my blog, or maybe I should say I am getting less inclined to update it. I'm so sick of computers lately that when I get home from work I haven't been switching it on.

I had to today to do a few updates to Neptune Adventure Centre's Website. I've added a new video to the homepage. Now I have to add some new documents to the Greendoor Accommodation Website.

Then there are 2 other sites I am working on and I really should get at least one of them done over the weekend, if I can bare turning the computer on, and if I get the time.

Nonsense

I had the misfortune of listening to the radio last night. I can't tell if it was 98 or fm104 but they were talking about Simon Cowell and his interview with his ex. The presenter said that she didn't think Simon Cowell was capable of a relationship!

WTF? Does she know him? Is she a pal, if she is why is she discussing his personal life with the radiowaves...

It's amazing what some people comment on. *

*Please note: I know the irony of commenting on commenting in a blog!

The New Week

I've started the week like I mean it. I was in the gym at lunchtime. It's been ages since I've been in the gym and the first time in my new gym in the city centre.

I have to say it has great facilities.

I ran 3k on the treadmill overlooking the liffey, which was pretty sweet. Although if I can find a good city centre route I will run outdoors and shower in the gym.

I got my bluetooth headphone and the sound is good but I'm not sure they will be very stable on my ears, but I will try them out and hopefully they will be fine.

Now back to work for me.

It's Friday already

This week has flown by in a bit of a haze. It was my first week back at work after 2 weeks off so that is always strange, that and of course the new addition, so everything is very different.

I'm looking forward to a nice weekend, maybe a run, maybe watch the Man United game tomorrow.

I've been suffering from blogger's block lately. Imagine how bad it must be if I can't come up with anything to put in the blog!!!

Busy

I've been really busy lately. There is still lots of painting and decorating to do but the end is in sight. I can't wait to have all rooms painting and ready for habitation.

I think painting and decorating is great excercise although i would much rather be out running!

My poor poor stomach

Self inflicted pain is the worst kind (no tittering at the back). I was out from lunchtime with work for our summer night out. It started with lunch and then a poor tournament. It was a long long day and even though I won the pool tournament that was not enough to help my poor stomach this morning.

On a scale of 1 to ropey I was ropey. The worst thing about this was that I was playing pitch and putt in Tallaght at 1.30 and my bike was in town, and I was in no fit state to use it even if it had been on hand. So I lumbered onto the bus to Hueston Station (I took a picture of it on my phone but I have no idea how to get it from my phone to my computer!). Every stop had people, loads of people, all asking questions, all paying with a sock full of tuppences. The bus took ages despite there being little or know traffic.

I eventually got to Heuston and although my stomach felt rough, I thought a short trip on the luas to Tallaght wouldn't do me any harm. Well anyone who uses Luas and fast in a sentence without using not or isn't is mad. It was dismally slow and getting stopped at traffic lights on a tram is just plain stupid. So I got to Tallaght late and then had to walk, actually run to my destination.

Is it any wonder I played badly??

I've just done a small bit of DIY, and after I clean up that is me done for the night.

Zzzzzzz

More work eh?

Just finished working on a site of mine. It's a simple little site that has been hacked constantly over the alst number of weeks. I've made the code secure but I think it's down to my host company at this stage.

It's a pain because you don't want people going to your site to be sent to dodgy hacker sites.

Anyway, enough is enough. I'm off to bed!

Another day, more painting

Today's painting was a lot harder than normal, but that was because of spending all day watching sports and drinking. I went to see the Dublin game, which they won, but were far from convincing.

Then we went and grabbed a bite to eat in Flanagan's on O'Connell St. It's kind of retro but the food is good so you can't complain, although it's like being in an office from 1981.

Then we proceeded to the Long Stone for a few pints to watch the Spain Vs Germany which was a cracking game.

Now before I nod off, I'm out of here!

Another Busy Day!

I don't know if I will get time to do anything this week. More work on websites tonight. Now I'm going to relax!

Busy Busy

Been working late tonight. Had to put some finishing touches to The Green Door Accommodation site.

I also had to touch up The Paranormal Investigation Guys website.

Now it't time to sleep.

Even More Stuff

After golf last week, I went to see Billy Connolly in the Olympia in Dublin. It was pretty good. Some old jokes but all in all very entertaining.

Then on Friday we went to see Radiohead in Malahide Castle. It was absolutely fantastic. It is a great location. We just hopped on the DART and 20 minutes later we are in Malahide. About a 10 minute walk and we are in the grounds and ready for the gig.

The grounds were huge and there was loads of space to relax and enjoy the gig. They played a wonderful gig, I would pay to see them again tomorrow.

Then we walked out hopped on a DART and 20 minutes later we were back in the city centre.

The last week

It's been a very busy week. Well I turned 30. That was one major milestone. It was great to be honest, dinner, drinks, presents, I lived the dream. Litreally.

At the weekend I played football for the first time in years, since Peru, so nearly 2 years. It was great fun, but boy am I still aching now.

I did a 5 mile run and a 3 mile run. The fitness is coming back but I'm in the hard phase of building for almost scratch. Give it a few weeks and I should be over 10 miles.

And today I played golf. It was the first time I had stepped onto a golf course in about 7 years. I played better than expected and scored 95 on a championship course. Did I mention my old foe O'Malley beat me yet again. Another classic that went down to the very last putt where he held his nerve to win by a single stroke.

Now, it's time to rest.

Redpages.ie redux

Yet again am I trying to do something with Redpages. I tried using Joomla previously and got nowhere.

So now I am trying CMS Made Simple. Hopefully this will be simpler and allow me to harness the power of the internet :o)

Ok, hopefully it stops me getting lazy. I'll keep you posted.

It's been ages.

I haven't posted since last Tuesday. That is down to a mixture of busyness and laziness. More laziness I'd say.

Since last week, I've gone to the gym for the first time in nearly 6 months. It was a very relaxing experience. There were not many people there and I did what I wanted to do and the drive back is incredibly scenic, although I had to put the visor down because of the number of insects about.

Then yesterday did a long walk around Lucan Demense, which is a a fabulous park between Lucan and Leixlip. It has a lot of fences up for pending water works but hopefully that won't take too long.

I hope to go train down there in the next few weeks.
