I’ve been an ericsson/sony ericsson fanboy for as long as I can remember so it was a bit of a departure from the safe confines of my Sony when I got an n95 8GB for work (we needed a GPS phone to test on). I’m absolutely in love with it.

Since coming back to Karova, I’ve been doing ALOT more management of projects than I did before. Usually what happens is I get the projects once they’ve been spec’d (and prototype’d if appropriate) and then I manage the completion of the project from dev->staging->live and then pass it back to billing.
We always have a good […]
On Sunday last myself and big Frank borrowed my mum’s car (as it has a hitch) and drove across to Leitrim with our bikes and butterflies in our bellies. Frank did the same race last year and said he really enjoyed and it was my first open water race. This was meant to be my […]

This year Frank convinced me to join him in training for a sprint triathlon. I agreed and last weekend was my first (fingalsprint.3dtri.com). It was tough - real tough. I’m not a strong swimmer and I was punished severally in the swim - somehow I was placed in the fast group and ended […]
Do you Really Want to Be a Development Team Leader? When you become a DTL you work balance is up for a bit of a change.
A very good article on the differences between a developer and a Dev team leader. It’s very true.
When I started back at Karova I treated myself to a new and very awesome dev machine. I bought it myself so was very careful that I got best value for my money. I’ve been using it for three months now and I have to say I am very very very pleased with it.

I still use jedit for all my tasks that require a text editor. I’ve been using it for about 4 years now and rarely find fault with it. One thing I did notice was that it slowed down quite alot if I was editing or searching large files. I knew this was down to Java […]
Late February of this year I started back working for Karova. As I lived in Dublin at the time it meant a monster of a commute every week, staying at a friends during the week and coming back to Dublin at the weekends. I still do the same commute but I now have my own […]
