Peter (My brother that is) and his school team, St. Peters of Dunboyne, are now Leinster school champions and now go on ot the All-Ireland semi-finals. I am very proud of the young lad (he plays corner back). Well done to him then.

The Grange network : Last night I set up my Intranet site at home. I have Foxserv (A bundle with Apache, PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin, WinMySql and plenty of other add ons.) I got this working fine and had the main website set up. I then installed an online image gallery, just lke my one on Philroche.net (http://gallery.philroche.net ), I needed to install Image Magick for this so that it could resize the images etc.. I then installed and set up PHPNuke 6.0 which is an amazing fully featured Portal system. When I go home in the evenings now I have no reason at all ,at all to go to sleep. Next step i reckon is play with Apache by adding some add-ons like Apache::Gallery. Now when I get Braodband (which if I stay in ireland will be in about 20years) I will have a wicked webiste that I can run from my own box. (I am such a fucking nerd it's unbeleivable)…….^..^

Observation made over the last few days driving through BallyMun:

• Caravan: I was driving to DCU on the back roads behind Ballymun when lo-and-behold, what do I see but a caravan sitting in the middle of the f*#^ing road. It sat there for 2 days untill it was burn't down. Then 2 days after that anotehr one appeared. I can't beleive that the travellers beleive that they can get away with disposing of their caravans on the road just outside their halting site.
• Probable Hooker: Same place as the caravan incident above. When I was driving by this morning, there was a young “lady” walking home (9:35am) looking quite dishevelled and very tired and dirty….what had she been up to all night????(My imagination does tend to run wild now and then).
