A #Cork man living in #Blarney, like. They say Cork is the real capital of #Ireland. He/Him I work at #Automattic on various things like WordPress.com, Jetpack Boost, WP Super Cache, other obscure things and WordPress plugins. I take photos, so many photos. Lightroom says I have more than 388,000 photos spread over the last 22 years. I love street photography. #WordPress #Photography #StreetPhotography

The squares of a chessboard become a blur as the camera is flung sideways as the shutter opens.

It’s the chessboard in Crosshaven, not that you’d recognise it from the photo!

nostr:npub1wlj7tet8ltajuzcm9aqx3gj9jd5r0370n2hzfvgpczcs0yqyzpgs5h882v not much really. Usually just the odd word in a sentence.

Hardly anyone uses it in daily conversation, unfortunately. When I visit the Irish speaking parts of the country it's lovely to hear people chatting in Irish, or a parent talking to their kids.

I drove the Blarney to Tower road yesterday. I was that dumb guy sticking to the speed limit.

Had a big SUV right up behind me, appeared out of nowhere, seemed like. Cruise control on that long straight stretch is great. Don't feel quite so intimidated to go faster.

nostr:npub15074264qfye8gc2u9s3fdn2cq23x90mx372fluj8ff48hj22zrzqh7e4gg it is roasting here. September is usually a nice time of year to visit Ireland but this is ridiculous. It's 18C/64.4F right now at 10pm. Tomorrow it'll hit 23C/73.4F.

Far too hot for this time of year! 🥵

You'll hear many people here say, "we're not built for this."

Any better on your side of the Atlantic?

An interview with Dermot Morgan, aired just 3 months before he died.

A long time ago I used my main email address to comment on sites, WordPress or not, and it's an email address that gathers so much spam these days it's ridiculous. --><-- this close to closing it down forever but for the moment I have it redirect to another email. Out of sight, out of mind.

Some blog or blogs I commented on in the past have been compromised, I think. It happens.

In the last 24 hours I received spam to two email addresses I used to comment on WordPress blogs.

No idea which blogs, but if I've commented on your self hosted blog, you might want to check.

Time to recycle those two email addresses. So glad to be using catch-all addresses.

Cork people, want a complimentary pass to COCOs? Has to be used before 31st July, 2002, though.

Big crowd at Mallow Castle for the music! Lovely weather but the shade is welcome!

I saw Qween play in Cobh tonight. Bloody great Queen tribute band. Wow, wow, wow!

Happy Pride to you too! We were so lucky with the weather in Cork today. Atmosphere was amazing!
