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.

I wish I was my kids age

Lets face it, kids toys from the 70′s and 80′s were pretty crap, but here’s a toy I want myself. Tickle Me Elmo has been re-released as Tickle Me Elmo TMX. My daughter’s original Elmo just shook and laughed when you tickled it. This new one rolls around the floor, waves it’s arms and then gets up. I have to get one! It’s guarenteed to be the toy to get this Christmas!
