Minor Health Issues

To answer this question briefly and honestly, I don’t desperately need a break. But if a genie appeared to me and asked me if I needed a break, I would probably answer that I’d like to feel perfectly good without any of these minor aches and pains or other annoying chronic health issues. I shouldn’t … Continue reading Minor Health Issues

World Wide Web

That’s a tough question to answer. Here are 10 possible answers, but of these, I suppose that I’d choose the World Wide Web. It feels very significant currently. But in some ways, it’s just one aspect of advances in computing, so I’m not sure if it’s the most important invention. I don’t really understand this, … Continue reading World Wide Web

Read a Whole Book in One Day

Even in terms of leisure, I’ve formed the habit of filling my day with lots of little activities. For a long time, I’ve been remembering my younger years, and how I might have sat down and read a whole book in one go – in a day or perhaps over a weekend. These days I’m … Continue reading Read a Whole Book in One Day

My First Re-release

I’m not sure if this really is my first re-release, but I’ve answered similar questions so often in the last few months, I thought it might be easiest to point to a previous post.

Amstrad PCW 9512 – OK Computer

I got an Amstrad PCW 9512 back around 1991. It didn’t have anything like Windows. I just used it to write essays (I was taking a theology course at the time), sermons and so on. I think that you could use the BASIC computing language on it and play a few primitive games. It was … Continue reading Amstrad PCW 9512 – OK Computer

Going to Doctors and Hospitals

I could think of lots of things that I’d be scared to do. Some are a bit ridiculous, such as climbing Mount Everest or bungee jumping. I could also think in terms of sharing my faith. It’s not so much that I’m scared, but people don’t always appreciate you talking about politics or religion, especially … Continue reading Going to Doctors and Hospitals

The Weather 🌀

Let me think. Here’s a little list: Media bias, particularly left-wing anti-Christian or anti-establishment bias. I don’t mind intelligent left-wing politicians, but I dislike the sort that are resentful toward the successful and are clearly envious of nations who are more successful, but have been extremely good for Ireland. I remember in the Eurovision, for … Continue reading The Weather 🌀

Formula 1 and Soccer

In Ireland, hurling, Gaelic football, rugby and soccer are popular. As a child, most of my friends were into soccer. We had some interest in local teams, but we mainly followed British teams. I followed Manchester United way back in the early 1970s – the days of George Best and Bobby Charlton. I lost interest … Continue reading Formula 1 and Soccer
