Hybrid Animals

From the site that brought you the two-nosed dog, here are the Top 10 Hybrid Animals. Amazing stuff – I was skeptical about one or two of them but after searching a bit they all seem legit. Silver medal goes to the leopon:

Bank of Ireland Blues

“You should be up there Johnny, up in that spotlight, singing the blues with the best of them. Instead of giving away money in the Bank of Ireland.” I try to stay away from banks where ever possible, and so far I have been largely successful in that. Today, however, I needed to get a [...]

Scapy for Windows

I spent many hours this week trying to port the python-based network tool Scapy to Windows. After a number of slow downloads, red herrings, and lot of messing around, I finally had the end in sight. Thats when some guy posted this with everything I needed. Thanks Andrew – nice one, just wish you had [...]

Please Don't Clamp Me

I had to go up to Dublin again today for another interview – but of course, Mallow train station’s parking lot was full… even those dodgy spaces on double yellow lines and in front of gates were taken. I had no choice but to park in the County Council parking lot next door – the [...]

Thank God for Cork Street

I was in Dublin today for another interview. My knees are still aching from the cramped train – up and down in one day is not a good idea, over six hours without a chance to stretch your legs cannot be good. Now I know how Roy Keane must feel… I would retire myself, only [...]

American Soccer

There is a common misconception in Ireland and elsewhere that Americans don’t like soccer. The average American sports fan doesn’t have access to the media coverage and the soccer tradition that exists in Europe, but they can still tell Zidane from Ronaldo. I lived in Massachusetts for 7 years growing up, moved around a bit, [...]

Welcome to Rapp

The newest member of the greatly extended FH family. Apparently he is as abusive as Norm when drunk. YAY!! \o/

Viva the Evolution

I went for an interview the other day and I found a load of money in my suit pocket (that I hadn’t worn in months), so I splashed out on a couple of albums… two bands that, in my opinion, have the potential to make the greatest track of all time. Having spent the past [...]

Fish Heads are Back

Ireland’s most experienced gaming clan, Clan FH, are now playing Warsow. The clan has been going since August 2000 and has played hundreds of official matches. When Quake 4 turned out to be such a disappointment, I thought that FH’s days were over but we’ll give Warsow a crack and see if its worth playing. [...]

FH is Now Playing Warsow

Quake 4 didn’t work out – it was impossible on ISDN, there wasn’t much of a community, it was too hard to get games, and basically it kind of sucked. We’re going to give Warsow a bash with the following line-up confirmed thus far: killy Vinnit dest cbs Spacey Rapp Nex Windowlicker Redemption Dardoz Jazzy [...]
