Before the teasing starts.. ;)

Have to hold my hands up and say - well done Kerry.. wasn’t the result I wanted and is disappointing for Armagh (may be the end of an era for Joe and some of the lads) .. but the better team on the day won the game! And it was an intriguing game..

So what happened to the Ulster teams this year? Injury knocked out Tyrone, tiredness and age caught-up with Armagh and the inexperience in Derry, Down and Donegal got the better of them..

Alas, its beginning to look like a Leinster Munster final (CorkvKerry V’s Mayo/Laois or Westmeath/Dublin) and may the best team win.. for the Ulster competition will be back next year!! ;)

A Year of Blogging..

Happy anniversary to me and my blog! It’s a year since I started blogging! Whey hey! ;)
Was home last weekend, the music choice enroute was BellX1 – really good.. am really impressed.. And it was a really good weekend, on Sunday went to Cabra Castle for dinner, a really beautiful setting.. I really had a nice weekend… good food, good chat and just relaxed..

On the more technical side of things.. Blackboard have been awarded a patent on e-learning technology, hmm.. implications for Moodle users and open source??
And also in a slightly related topic, was reading that orientation week for incoming first year students at some US college’s are now not only being warned about everything from alcohol to credit card debt, but also ‘the risks of internet postings’!
