Young LeCraic had this bright idea… lets do a Irish Bloggers Christkindl. So I signed up and got something in the post.
“Please come to the sorting office”. After a nice chat with the sorting office people (where either they will leave stuff on my doorstep, or I’m showing up at 6.30am when they arrive at the office and I have to get a bus. I also got a package (censored below).
And inside the package was another package.
I know that sounds like a joke, but I wrapped my present too.
So knock knock open wide
Its a food package!
And a card (which the secret person signed, I won’t reveal him/her unless (s)he asks).
And the decapitated heads of endangered Swedish puppets.
And a crystal tree decoration which was promptly hung with great care and love
Hiding underneath the puppet carnage was the “Blackbird” album by One Day International. Oddly this arrived just when Darragh Doyle posted his interview with One Day International. Synchronous timing like this happens a lot. Lots of good things have been heard about this and there will be a review. Eventually.
Sadly I know I’ll be playing with the Titta heads for the next while.
But for the season they will be placed in another tree
take care,
Will Knott

If you sit down for a group meal at 5pm, is it a lunch or a dinner? Some insist that it’s not a dinner until 6pm.
But no matter. If you sit down with good company and good food, then it’s a good time.
Our master of ceremonies, in theory, Joe Scanlon lead the meal. The story is that Joe left the Cork Open Coffee Club for a few moments and on his return discovered that he was the one organising the meal.
He did a good job.
He selected the (surprisingly dark) Market Lane on Oliver Plunkett Street. Good food, and in the company of (deep breath, in seating order) John Handelaar, Ciara Crossan, Walter Higgins, Joe Scanlon, Randy Jordan, Margaret Jordan, Catherine Wilson, Marion O’Sullivan, Matt Kane, Michael Kane, Aedan Ryan, Pat Phelan, Damien Mulley, Enda Crowley, Gordon Murray, Sabrina Dent and myself, a good time was had by all.
And given that there was an outbreak of santa hats, Walter, thanks to this Pixenate, or rather Twixenate project to add Santa hats and snowflakes to Twitter avatars efforts. This last shot is for him. (I think he took the joke well).
and finally, I am apparently a jammy git. There was a little raffle. Sponsored by Dell and Puddleducks. I won a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbook. There will be unboxing photos (and probably a Loudervoice) review once I get it.
So a very happy thank you,

Its still chilly out there.
Just liked the pattern as I passed the ashtray on top of a bin. White frost on golden metal.

Ubuntu is a linux based opperating system.
Ubuntu is also a fair trade cola.
I suspect that neither group even knew of the existance of the other until recently.
Drink up and install.

Baby, its cold outside.
Freezing.
OK, this is not my garden. A few weeks back, I put these flowers in water in my freezer as part of a photo competition with the title “frozen”. Of course, I forgot about them.
Still, nice photos (and it does feel that cold out there)
take care,
don’t freeze,

Meet Rover.
I think that Rover is a wolf spider (I think), and she’s living in the house. Her hobbies include reading (she makes a racket turning the pages and moving books late at night when I’m trying to sleep) and hiding in candy being given out to any kids foolish enough to visit on Halloween.
She makes a nice pet, but its hard taking her for a walk.
And yes I’m trying to finish my slides and analysis for Barcamp Cork II.
take care,
and don’t be too scared (or scary) tonight,

This photo was taken on Monday. Wednesday’s cold snap and sleet has turned this rose in to a browning collection of former petals. Yup folks, winter is back.
take care,

The only advantage of being up at 6am, is the view.
Well, and time to do things I suppose.
take care,
