The Long Weekend…
I’ve been quite busy this bank holiday weekend.
After a full day of lectures and a tutorial on Friday, I met my friend Michelle for a few drinks, which resulted in drinks in The Porterhouse, Captain Americas and Smyths in Renelagh over the course of the evening. All in all a long day, but a good night.
Then on Saturday afternoon, Ciara and I went to see the Nothern Nocturnes art exhibition in the National Gallery. It’s very good, definitely worth a visit before it finishs in early December. Saturday evening, I met Ben Mako Hill, Debian and Ubuntu activist/general geek in the Schoolhouse. We shared a few interesting anecodes, bother nerdy and non nerdy.
On Sunday, I had a nerdy dinner out in Pizza Hut with Colm and Colin, with proper supervision for all 3 of us of course. 
Today, I’d planned to do some college work and outstanding paperwork, as well as do some work around the house, mainly plan and begin the Great Rewire ™ (since the attic in my house is currently being converted along with other building work). In the end, I never got around to any college work, but I’ve begun a proper structured Cat5 cabling setup with 4 to 8 Cat5 cables running into practical room of my house. I intend to use Cat5 for everything, including cable TV, Sky Digital/Plus satellite TV, telephones, my LAN and just about anything else I feel like.
