A Canadian in Ireland

Doesn't have the ring of "An American in Paris" (or even "An American at Opera") but what can you do?

So I'm here in college with very little to do as two lecturers are out sick. I decided to do some surfing around My Opera, and came across this.

I really liked the poster designs so I took a closer look. Imagine my surprise when I opened the third one

and scrolled down to the user quotes.

My College in the news

, , , ...

Tipperary Institute were hosting Games Fleadh 2008 on Thursday. It a series of computer game programming competitions designed to get students interested in software development, programming, and computer game design.

I wasn't competing, my hand put me out of action at just the wrong time. But I was there helping out on the day. If you watch closely, you might just spot a familiar back.



Events like this are important because fewer Irish students are choosing ICT as a career. If the computer companies lose their workforce, they're going to start pulling out of the country.

...when you're away from the OC for a couple days.

No classes today because the college was holding graduation ceremonies. So I decided I see what My Opera was up to. Only to find that everything was off-line due to the upgrade.

Now that I'm back, haven't you all been a busy bunch. (My watch list is as long as my arm.)

The course is going well, I'm enjoying my classes and everyone I've met so far is friendly and interesting to get to know. On the downside, while we were only getting settled for the first couple weeks, the work load has started to ramp up so I'm going to have even less time for blogging. :no:

That's all for the moment. I'll be in touch again. :spock:
