10 years ago today! On the 10/10/2016, I met Jean-Michel Jarre after his concert in the 3Arena, Dublin. I'll never forget it! (with Declan Varley, photo by Máirín O'Reilly) [BTW, this week JMJ announced the 50th Anniversary Edition of Oxygène.]

I've been a fan of the Galway Film Society for about 30 years, and last night's opening movie for the Autumn/Winter 2026 season was a real treat: "The Colours of Time", with a French title of "La venue de l'avenir" (The Arrival of the Future).

We have various cables coming into Galway as one of the most northwesterly cities in the EU - connecting to Iceland and later Portugal and Japan - this could be an interesting read for some of my colleagues here

In the news: queues at Irish petrol pumps, tension in the Middle East, acts of terrorism in Europe... ...but it's not the present, or the future, it's the 25th of May in 1979. Listen back to the 1 o'clock news headlines from Anne Doyle, that I found on an old Maxell UR-60 cassette tape yesterday.

It was a lovely day to refuse someone entry to the bus

The Cloud logo lives again! I designed it in CorelDRAW! 3 many years ago, but it's hard to convert a file that's on a floppy disk somewhere... So, time for a redux in Illustrator!

Alrighty then, so I've been trying for months to resolve an issue with buying eBay items from Northern Ireland here in the (Republic of) Ireland... The system automatically applies import charges in contradiction of the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland, a post-Brexit international treaty...
