I currently have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. It’s fine as cameras go, though I have found its ability to take multiple shots in quick succession a bit lacking. I’ve taken it on multiple trips to different parts of the globe, including my recent trip to Peru, or to the much closer steam rally over in […]
Nice clear blue skies with barely any clouds. That’s what greeted me this morning when I stepped outside the back door of my house for a coffee before heading into the office.

Microsoft like a lot of software companies offers localised versions of their software and services. So as a user you can choose which language you want to use in their applications and interfaces. I usually use English for most software I have running across my devices, though I do have multiple language keyboards setup on […]
A few months ago I saw Jim Jefferies live in London’s Eventim Apollo . It was part of his world tour, but also happened to be the evening that they were filming the show for a Netflix special That special was finally released last Friday: As always the show is hilarious and definitely for a […]
After what seems to be aeons of Amazon treating Ireland like a second class citizen they’re finally launching “Amazon Prime” in the Irish market. In an email I got earlier today they’re announcing “unlimited two-day delivery” with Amazon Prime to Irish addresses. It’s not very clear how they decide which items qualify for the free […]
