I’ve been working on a new website called rFizz.com with a few friends. The site allows you to share photos with a few nice touches! One of the cool things is the plugin (shown below)

I love working on my PhD, especially when I get to go to Dublin and even more when the Gala dinner is held in the Guinness Storehouse! So here are a few pics and a video (you need sound).

Warning this video has audio so if you are at work and supposed to be working you might want to turn the volume down. But if you do that then you will kind off miss the point of this clip…

So you want me to adjust the DMA settings for my CD drive? Sorry you can just fuck right off, I’ve got the original CD it’s in the drive just play the game!

Like any self respecting man I fear my girlfriend when she is angry. So when the Christmas tree decided not to cooperate with her I soon realised I was living on borrowed time. After being shouted at `strongly’ advised that next year we were getting an artificial tree I managed to take refuge in another room. Anyway she battled on and before too long I was no longer – in her eyes – the antichrist. The finished result:
