PRCs Guide to Oxegen

I’m a little late noticing this PRCs Guide to Oxegen but it’ll still be useful if you going next year. Lots of great advice…

  • Despite this unpleasant factor of being near Dublin music festivals like Oxegen are pure daycint though.
  • If you have a tent don’t assume thieves won’t just open (or slash) your tent and take stuff from inside.
  • Blacked out windows essential in case some other feen sees your Winnie the Pooh pyjamas and you sucking your thumb like a baba.
  • Food is the job cos it keeps you going like.
  • Kildare is in the Greater Dublin area which is a significantly closer to the arctic circle than Cork therefore you can expect a temperature drop.

Now we can all download the Internet!

Prompted by a question asked by Keith on #linux,

“ok well tell me a few good linux ditros that you can get everything for?”

I went searching and found a way that everyone can download the Internet themselves! It’s quite amazing that they’ve managed to do this but if you’re new to computers and you’re bored of trying to delete the Internet this is for you!

Sorry officer, was I going too fast? No, you were flying too low.

In an otherwise dry conversation about fuel economy numbers, this little nugget brought a smile to my face..

Get the car up to about 70 MPH so that there just a slight aerodynamic effect on the body. Then a gust of wind will literally lift the car and blow it into either the left or right lane.

Reasons to Work at Google

While there are really great reasons why one should work at Google, Kevin puts it best..

why work for google? think about it. people are always searching for a better job. no matter how much you like a job at first you get sick of it after a while. unhappiness is caused by not having found what you’re searching for. if you get a job at google, your job is searching. once you dislike it, what are you going to do – go searching? no. you hate searching. so you don’t search, so you don’t get unhappy so therefore you stay happy. the perfect job.

Of course, there were replies to that..

<khismetix> jaypers
<DoC> Well, you could also blog for a better job. Or mail for a better job with lots of capacity.
<paul> kevin: that’s your worst joke yet 🙂
<DoC> Or secret underground laser for a better job.
<kevin> paul: it makes perfect sense.
<DoC> Wait. That’s probably covered under my NDA. Look into this apparatus for a second, everyone.
<Minus1> kevin: i’m sorry… you are *really* reaching.
<kevin> DoC: ah yes, but you aren’t searching then are you?
* paul tries to recover from having read kevin’s google-job-searching joke
<pron> paul: was it a joke ?
* pron thinks kevin wants a google job
