Key Bumping is the process of opening a lock by putting a dummy key in the lock and hitting it. See this video for more info.

Living it up here at networkers in Cannes. Just spent all day learning even more multicast. Brain melting. Cisco Ireland have offered to buy me dinner though. So things are looking up.

People who smoke should have to take a salary cut. Somewhere in the region of 10 - 15 %.

Having been reading boards.ie and this rant is mainly because I can’t just flame all those people with misguided understanding of the ISP market as it would make work look bad. Anyone not interested look away now.

Going to be very busy for the next few weeks but it should be fun.

I have decided that there are not enough barn raisings in the world as there should be.

This stunning insight came to me last night as I was watching Witness. Modern society seems to lack anything that has the communal aspect of something beyond the reach of one person in a single day.

He has finally achieved the holy grail and managed to find someone to pay him to watch TV.

I despair for the world.

I need to find a decent GP on the northside of Dublin, preferably close to / in Clontarf. Answers on a postcard please.

Yesterday brought to a close my quest to buy my first suit. This suit was needed because I shall be accompanying the Ladyfriend to a wedding this Friday and I needed to up my game as her ensemble is very impressive. Also this fills a gap in my wardrobe between slacks / shirt / tie and full on Black Tie. After lengthy research trips which involved trying on many many suits and learning all about two versus three buttons along with the whole straight or slanted pockets dilemma I found something that I like, which looks good and stears somewhat away from my natural tendancy to be conservative in regards to my wardrobe.

The selected suit is Charcoal Grey with a white Pinstripe. I had initially been leaning away from dark colours just to put some variety into my wardrobe but charcoal grey works for me and the pinstripe stops it being dull. This is being worn over a brilliant white shirt with double cuffs suitable for some cufflinks I just happen to have. This tie is black with a number of bold colours in the general area of red to liven things up. Photos will hopefully be provided following the wedding.

Today I found english cut the online journal of a bespoke savile row tailor.
