After trying out a few of the Irish online shops for our equipment, I settled on Komplett about a year ago. They have good prices, a comprehensive selection and an easily navigable website. All happy out. Not quite. A while ago, they changed their online delivery options, which I think is very confusing. I needed to purchase a SATA hard drive. Having located the item on their site, I went to purchase it.

Bess has grown a little bit from the pup who arrived about the year ago. She is now a near fully grown German Shepard.

I recently dipped my toes into the Actionscript 3 toes. This is quite a readjustment from the experience of the past 7/8 years of traditional actionscript development. I was somewhat prepared after having done a lot of projects with Object Oriented programming languages. Specifically Java and C# (VB sucks balls). I, along with most actionscript developers, tried to con ourselves that first abusing the prototype property and then the abortive actionscript 2 was actually OOP.

I got a new bike, a Honda Hornet 250. It’s a lovely little bike, Japanese import because this model was never released outside Japan. It redlines at 16,000 RPM and can reach up to 180 Km/h. I bought it at Tallaght Superbikes and Autos. It’s very easy to ride and is perfect for jinking in and out of traffic. I bought because while the cbf 250 is a great starter bike, it just doesn’t cut it outside the city.
