Checking In
Now that life, particularly work is getting more and more stable and less frantic, I’m going to try and post here more frequently.
Recent things I’ve gotten up to, in no particular order:
- Occasional cinema trips to see things like Spiderman 3 and Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End. I recommend both, certainly for the fight scenes. (Yes, the originals were the best, but I’m still a bit of a sucker regarding the story lines of each francise.)
- I’ve very recently acquired another lens for my SLR collection, this time a very, very fast Canon lens, which I’m looking forward to playing with.
- Voted in the Dail Elections (second time voting in an election, since I conveniently “fell off the register” in 2004). If you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the government.
- Nearly went geocaching in Wexford, which didn’t happen in the end, since I hadn’t properly planned it and the registration page on geocaching.org isn’t exactly mobile internet friendly. :-/
Just a note on the geocaching – try wap.geocaching.com from your phone. Very minimal interface, but should do the trick when you’re on the run.
I’ve gone up the mountains in the past with a printout of several geocaches in hand — only to find once I got there that they don’t include the GPS coordinates unless you’re logged in. duh
