McAWilliams Photoblog

One thing I wanted to bring back from the second last version of the site, was for the headers to change a bit. In movabletype this was simple because each page was manually coded, with wordpress the template structure is quite different, and at last I have got the knack of how the jigsaw comes together.

So rather then have the old images for each page, I have made use of the couch and it shall be the focus point of all things to come, so far I have 6 images coming up at random, but I have ideas on how to keep developing this idea for the future.

Please let me know what you think in the comments, tell me if they annoy you, or make you smile a bit, obviously my rss readership wont get to enjoy this the way I had hoped so maybe something new and different will be coming your way, and if you are interested in doing this on your own wordpress blog let me know and I can help out with the codes needed.

Trinity College in dublin is a fantastic place to go to take pictures, the architecture around the grounds is outstanding and varies around every corner.

Obviously this door has gone through a good bit of post processing but I do love the way it looks now.

Well it high time I put another image up, this weekend another photobloggers walk is planned, the success of the pre blogawards photowalk meant it was only a matter of time before we all decided to meet again. Everyone is welcome and you dont even have to be a photoblogger, or have expensive gear like Ryan or Claire to come along (yes I am jealous), heck even a camera phone will do Rick. Anyhow if you are interested head over to the Ring Leader Red Mums site and sign yourself up if anything its a great way to meet fellow bloggers and have a bit of craic.

This was one of the few images I took while out on that first walk.

I dont mean to harp on about it, but it only took 2 and a bit weeks! As I posted on the 18th of April O2 in the UK wanted to get rid of the remaining 8 gig Iphones and as such, reduced the price by £100. O2 Ireland said they had no plans to do the same.

Well guess what, as of today and up to the 25th of May you can get the 8 gig Iphone from O2 Ireland for, yes you guessed it €100 less, €299 to be exact.

The 8 gig Iphone is being phased out, hopefully to warrant the release of a 32 gig version or more likely the 3g version. I am tempted to go down there today to get myself one, but since the tarffifs have not changed I think I shall hold off for now, we are still in many ways been ripped off.

By the way those nice folk at O2 have this also on their webpage

Please note that if you purchased the 8GB iPhone between 24th April and 8th May, you will automatically receive a refund of €100. If you purchased an 8GB iPhone in store between these dates, please call Customer Care on 1909 for refund details.

Aint that nice of them!

Its been a while since I put up any pictures of my little trouble maker, Rebecca. Well at 22 months, her personality is really shining through, she is a cheeky little madam, in a funny way not irritating way, active, and always happy. She is also really starting to talk now, which is great gas all together.

Anyhow since the weather was so good today the swing came out of the shed and got dusted down, not until after she spent 2 hours in the sand pit. She did look a ticket in her Dora Shades and hat though.

Feck him anyhow I was chatting to him through the new facebook chat thingy we were both virgins to it but it was highly enjoyable, and he goes and memes me. Cheers for that.

Basically I have to describe myself in 6 words.

1. Tall, very feckin tall 6 foot 4 inches to be exact.
2. Geeky, I love technology and dabbling in how I can break it why do you think I changed the layout, because of you guys, nah, but because I got bored of the look and wanted to do some coding again.
3. Selfish, or so my good wife keeps telling me (she is right you know).
4. Grumpy, well in work anyhow I am not one to be crossed.
5. Tired, it comes with old age.
6. Pessimistic, I generally try to find faults with everything and look for the bad things, probably because I am so grumpy and geeky.

So there you go Grandad, now I have to nominate some folk to do the same.

So I pick my new best twitter buddy Alexia, Fustar, Ryan at glassyalley, and lastly the girl that introduced the word Meme to me Caitriona.
