  • The Jesus and Mary Chain are playing Electric Picnic 07. I felt too old for outdoor gigs at Guns n Roses in 1992, what hope now? #
  • it really does look like the non-stop bluescreening on my as-new Latitude D420 was due to Vista. XP rock solid on it. Damn, I like Vista. #
  • All Google properties down or Cork routing problem? #
  • Woo hoo, back on top for google search of “Conor O’Neill”. In constant war with pub chain of the same name in USA. Blog Awards did the trick #
  • Co-incidence? You decide. http://tinyurl.com/y9dchw and http://tinyurl.com/2nd3nk #
  • How much does Vodafone Ireland charge you and caller if you set redirect on your mobile to landline? Or to Skype-In? #
  • @damienmulley – eircom upgraded exchanges to what? 24MBs broadband for everyone? #
  • Courtesy of Sweary: http://tinyurl.com/2qawa4 . This is the “next python” stuff I was talking about recently. Up with this kind of thing! #
  • Nice cuppa tea and a biscuit with TSL, TSG and MiniMe. We’re awfully civilised down here in Cork. #
  • Looking at world map on kid’s wall. Scranton is marked in the USA. The equivalent of Slough in the US Office. Maybe not so small after all. #
  • Bloody chocolate manufacturers. Why aren’t the sweets inside the easter eggs like they used to be? Surely slave labour could do it cheaply? #

  1. Hi Conor – Conor here. Remember the good old days when Conor was a fairly unique name? Now we’re everywhere. If you google my name ‘Conor O’Rourke’ I’m nowhere to be found but as soon as you Dutch up my name to Conortje (kind of like adding -in in Irish)I’m practically a celebrity. It’s a funny old rock and roll worls isn’t it.

  2. Hey Conor, I had only met one other Conor until the age of 18. Then in 1st Year Eng in UCD in 1986 there were 10! Not only that but there was another Conor O’Neill who became a good friend, and yet another Conor O’Neill a year ahead of us. We’re common as muck now.
