Second day is over and I won a silver for my efforts in the pattern category. Wee! Very happy with my self. A gold would of course be better, but all things considered, I am very happy with my achievements. The one-step category did not yield any shiny metal, but both my self and Mr. [...]
Day one of the AIMAA Irish National Open Taekwondo Championship 2007 is over and I must say I am pretty impressed with Mr. James Farrell’s soft iron grip on the whole thing. Never before have I seen such an event fly by with such ease and grace. Today was the day for sparring (gyeorugi) and [...]
Finally! Our kitchen issue has been resolved and we and our up stairs neighbors can go back to actually using our kitchens. I don’t know anything more about what caused the problem, and I’m not sure I want to. What I would like to know, though, is why the guys who built this place didn’t [...]
For some possibly simple yet still unexplained reason the kitchen sink here at my humble abode has been clogged for the past week or so. Not being the busiest of chefs I think my flatmate has had it worse than me, but then again he fled the city Friday afternoon and I believe has yet [...]
Blood, violence and half naked men (and women) with a message of patriotism, heroism and freedom. I think that about sums it up… But it was good! I liked it.

March 17th is, as you all know, St. Patric’s day. The day when everyone is a little bit Irish and Guinness, Bailey’s or whiskey (note the ‘e’ in whiskey) is mandatory. Paddy’s day is thing to celebrate and we know all about that. Or at least, we try… Yesterday was the day of Paddy’s ball. [...]
There is a saying “The devil is in the details”. If you look closely I’m sure you, as me, will find that there is a little piece of heaven to be had as well. With two exams to go of the worst exam rush I’ve experienced in my education career I find my self sitting [...]
Assembly, system calls, hex representation and port binding shellcode. Yes, it’s assignment time and I’m spending Sunday afternoon in the lab. With 6 modules this semester and assignments due in just about all of them I’m really getting to know the four walls of what is commonly known as the MSSF-lab. Surrounded by about 40 [...]
It’s now several months since it happened, but I can still feel the taste of blood in my mouth ever time I take out my dobok: 4th cup grading! The grading took place in the usual place – room 5 in the university sports building. There was four of us in total, and two of [...]
When moving from one country to another – or probably even within a country – you expect certain things to be different. You even expect to find differences in places not expected and looked for. In what I hope will become a mini-series of blog-posts I’ll point out some of the oddities I experience as [...]
