This delightful lady lay for 10s on the keyboard of my work computer and disabled one of the screens, left the P key inoperable, turned on screen magnifier at 200% and ran something called “SlideToShutdown”. Trainee hacker or a chunky girl with the CTRL key firmly down? You decide.
Farewell to Sam Neil. The film that I'll always think of him first in is Wim Wender's 1991 Until the End of the World. His character isn't on screen as much as Solveig Dommartin's or William Hurt's but he's also the narrator, so ever-present.
Damn BlueSky; this is a fine country when the sun shines. 🌞🇮🇪 #speirgorm
I got a fit of nostalgia watching the British Grand Prix the last day, thinking about the first Grand Prix I ever attended, the 1998 British Grand Prix. My memory's rubbish, so when I dug my photos out, I was more than a little surprised to see myself, a Jordan fan, in Ferrari gear.
Not sure about 22% chud; I guess I was a little less strong in some answers than maybe I should have been. I am a bit doomy, but trying not to be. Yeah, tech is depressing at the moment. I used to love it.
Treated myself to a potato, cheese and onion slice from Lil Bros Pizza in Galway today. Was really good. Wish the potato flavour was a little more pronounced but still delicious.
Maybe you have to be Irish to understand it, but this is hilarious 🤣 waterfordwhispersnews.com/2026/06/11/b... @waterfordwhispers.bsky.social
Here's the part if anyone's interested. A part I'll print to help repair a friend's kitchen blinds. Not sure exactly the size this needs to be, so the game changer for me is that model is fully parameterised. I can adjust the size and shape really easily, as needed.
Based on a very small sample, the digitization of the Irish 1926 Census hasn't been great. This is my mother's family who decided to fill in their census in Irish using gaelic script. These people are either Ó Conghaile, Ui Conghaile or Ni Conghaile.
Apache helicopters flying to Kid Rock’s mansion? Every fan of British comedy:
Have to go say goodbye to this angel of a cat and it’s so so sad. He was the sweetest. Love you forever Inigo.
This guy is insanely good at telling time. Looking for his six o’clock dinner at exactly one minute to.
No Wheetabix, no problem. Just a half-egg’s worth. So adult. Such restraint.
Turned this up in some old papers my mum had given me. An Óige Tréitheach (the gifted youth) where I was incredibly lucky to receive my first hands-on experience with computers at age 11 in 1981.
Which email service? Be interesting to see the raw email content without formatting. I'm sure there's a way to retrieve it. In Gmail's web UI it's this:
Played a few short minutes of Promise Mascot Agency this morning and already charmed by it. When Michi spoke I was "I know that guy!" and indeed it was my old pal Kazuma Kiryu (Takaya Kuroda).
Peace reigns. The cat on the left was the new one. The cat on right the objector. Both cats on the right sadly no longer with us. Much loved all.
Ghost Town was really good! I’ll also throw in a picture of Noodle (aka Pinky, aka My Little Scientist) looking cute.
There are stats here for vehicle registrations: stats.beepbeep.ie. Can't believe it's only 10.5% down.
