Well setting up the blog is yet another thing competed from the long list of things to do before I go. So here it is. I've resisted getting a blog for the last 4 years because it has always seemed to me to be a bit pretentious (ironically using the word pretentious is itself pretentious). I mean who wants to listen to my ramblings which up until now would probably have consisted of pages of moaning about the lack of high rise buildings in Dublin city centre and how this is the cause of all our problems, bad public transport, house prices, and so on.
Of course those who've worked with me have had to suffer these ramblings instead.
Anyway now that I'm off on a trip around the world and I will need a mechanism to record my travels and communicate them to the masses, it finally feels like the right time to join the blogsphere. I can't promise it will always be interesting, but I will try, and I'll definitely try to restrict my comments on how well designed all the other cities are with their high rises, and how it leads to good public transport.
Oh who am I kidding, I'll probably rave on about every metro system I travel on, and how it beats the DART.
And finally a note for those who are not used to reading Blogs (and Mike there are still some out there who need these things explained) blogs usually work in reverse chronological order, and I'm not going to change the convention, so the most recent stuff will be at the top, and if you miss a few weeks you will need to go to the bottom first. Depending on internet coverage, or more likely how hungover I am, I might have to go a while between postings, so keep checking.
