Senan’s over
Yeah, this is Senan, he lives entirely on impulse, there is no disconnect between thought and action. He's great fun to hang out with. I'm back up home in Letterkenny, looking at discount zoot suits and not drinking beer. Another day up on the lane.
The last day of the month
And if it were a leap year, then tomorrow would be the 29th, but alas, not this time. Did my chores, had another fantastic dinner and settled back down once more to watch tv and drink beer. In a recliner. You've got to take a little time out now and then, a little me...
Back home
After three weeks, I'm back at home, having a sit down. Wonderful beef cobbler dinner, a few cans, watching tv with the kin. It's nice. The surround sound in the sitting room is buzzing, I have a list of chores to take care of, which include unblocking a toilet. You...
The day it all changes
Today, Thursday the 26th of February, The Mad Carpenter finally gets his own camera. No more borrowed, no more low quality, no more webcam (unless for webcam related things) I bought the Canon Powershot A470. I've had it for 3 hours and I'm already in love with it. It...
Ash Wednsday
Cycled down to the post office today to look for my social welfare, alas, it's not there until tomorrow, and I get a chunk of back pay, so Dave is on easy street this weekend. Dave is also going home this weekend, to a decent freakin' camera. I only noticed it was Ash...
24th – Pancake Tuesday
Yeah, I forgot to make pancakes. Or look for pancakes, or even buy the basic ingredients to make pancakes. But then again, pancakes have always been a vague, failed experiment in my family so never mind. Vivitar is still giving me shit, so it's back to the webcam....
Did absolutely nothing today
Not a thing. Well, I finished reading the archive of a webcomic I started reading a few days ago. It's really good and I suggest you all read it. But you know, be prepared to read back through 4 years of archive to get all the in jokes....
Hung….over…
Two bottles of wine, and I've barely moved from my bed all day. So today's picture comes from my bedroom. Though the frame is so small you can't really see anything except the shirt hanging on my door. Anyway, here's today's picture, and on a side note; I love...
Meet the parents
No not my parents, Sin's parents. And you don't actually get to meet them, because I haven't taken any pictures of them. We invited them over for dinner and a family friend, Craig, came over beforehand and cooked for them, and us. I got resoundingly drunk (I'm back...
The Mad Carpenter: tech hacker
Ok, so I've been geeking on tech-hack all night, and I've been reminded of something I've wanted to do for months. I bought an old camera in a charity shop, and was devastated when I found that they no longer made film for it. Hours of searching on...
Tech-hacking, a marvellous source of inspiration
I've been geeking all evening over at some weird blogs based on people who like to tech hack, and tinker with things. I'm watching a video right now about an elliptical trainer/bike cross. You use an elliptical trainer motion to propel the back wheel, so you're...
The 19th
Received money today, and my family came over to see the new house. So it's been a nice relaxed day. And the 204 euros from the dole came in very handy. I introduced my brother the other day, and since the old boy is so often working in England and Wales, he doesn't...
