About Me

I’m a 30 something Irish guy that works in the IT business. Inside the trade I’m interested in Linux, Internet technologies and mobile hardware and services. Outside, I enjoy a good book, a nice beer and decent game of rugby……

P.S. This is a personal blog, and while I do have a professional involvement in a lot of the technical topics I mention in some of my posts, they do not reflect company policy or ethos.

Funny email…

Friday, August 31st, 2007

A friend (hi Anne!) sent me an email earlier that I had to share.

Subject: Virus Alert!!!

There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive W.O.R.K. from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT !!!

This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with W.O.R.K. put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store.
Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends.
If you do not have 5 friends,you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life !

DIY sunroof for your car

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Sunroofs can be an expensive option on a new car, and retrofit ones are notoriously problematic, so this guy has come up with a solution which he’s selling on eBay for $24.95

You stick it on with the supplied double-sided sticky tape and from the outside looks real. The questions section is the best bit. One reader wants to know how the light gets through if there’s no hole cut in the roof. Others are asking if the sunroof leaks, and where are the switch and motor housed. Priceless!
