Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!.....

......to all that for some reason come here and read my ramblings :)

I am currently writing this from a couch by a fire in a château in the south west of France....   sipping wine, eating cheese and generally taking it easy ;)

Enjoy the break, I know I will.

First rule of Netstreams Cabling

As I found out today, the hard way, whatever you estimated you need to cable a Netstreams DigiLinX installation….. double that figure ;)

Aer Lingus, Eircom and now the Healthcare insurance market...
Selling off the national air line I just about dealt with...   having a telecom monopoly in Eircom (which they still say we don’t have) annoys me immensely, but I believe that at least is changing...But forcing out the only real decent medical insurer in Ireland changes my vote. 

Simply unbelievable.   I call on anyone with half a brain to email Mary Harney's office and get this Government policy changed immediately!

Mary Poppins - with a difference

Simply brilliant! :) 

 

Something you can do for me this Christmas... A friend in need.

Some of you know that each year I try to get to the Winconnections summit in America.     Recently, instead of that, I attended the first Minasi forum members event in Virginia. (There is another one this year, but I wont be able to attend).   Anyway...  I am rambling as usual...

A few years ago, at Winconnections, I met (among other great people) someone I now consider a good friend.   Ron Hrehirchuk, and his wife Tracy. (Hi Tracy!).   This year, something quite terrible happened to Ron...   what started out at a headache ended up being a rare condition called Blastomycosis Meningitis.   Without going into it all here, you can read the long thread on the subject on Mark's forum here.

I often get someone ask me "How can I pay you back for fixing my...." <<<   insert something I fixed there...        Normally I tell people not to bother, what goes around comes around...   however....

Now I am calling on you, you know who you are...    you are the people that at some stage said the words above to me.   Now you can pay me back by sending some money to the Hrehirchuk clan.   The link is here to the Paypal account.  

(On a side note, if you are one of the really rich folk I know - again, you know who you are, I will beat you with a stick if you do not give something substantial) LOL

Ron is the guy to my right (the one with the smaller teeth)
