4 years ago today I set this up in the living room. About 15 minutes later it was banned by Mrs S. Never to be used since. All that effort for nothing. Camera is pointing at a wall😢

My second and third favourite Czech things! First place goes to Mrs S of course!

A can of Kozel Dark beer and Kofola soft drink. Both from the Czech Republic

Some creative Grand Theft Auto style branding for asbestos removal and roofing in Midleton earlier.

If only every town big and small had some place like this. Up to 500kW apparently. Although you’ll get half that if someone else uses the second connection. Doesn’t matter to me as max mine there in the picture can handle is 120kW

One of ours loves hammocks. So much so had to buy him a separate one from the one on the cat tree. Here he is looking fabulous (in his own mind!)

Gallbladder being removed tomorrow. Might as well get a pedicure and foot massage before hand. Hashtag because I’m worth it!

Close to the theoretical 120kW max DC that the car can handle.

Deleted other post. Helicopter being an absolute pest in the area belongs to James Dyson. Making a beeline now for Cork Airport.

Perfectly placed advertisement

Actually managed to watch the new Bobby Fingers video on YouTube just before it got taken down. Don't think I agree with the reason though.

Good old public transport. Son says new driver on route (which is to be welcomed) but he forgot one stop. Had to loop around and now it's running 15 minutes late. Means son now misses train in Midleton and will be late for work

Jealous. Ours hasn’t been as low as 20 since sometime back in June! Data below is from sensors in almost every room.

Came across this on Reddit earlier. Aussie roundabout road signs are perfection. Could badly do with them here.

Arsing about with NetFlow and decided to use Claude to write a quick PHP app to process nfcap files. It's come up with this which is impressive enough. Fast enough too and I can export top 50 to CSV as well. Currently pestering it to add more features as I think of them.

Charging at Bandon. 50kw charger. As soon as the guess-o-meter shows more than 320km range I’ll be happy to make it to Mizen and home then later without charging again.

Robert Sweetnam @rgsweetnam.zq.ie · 16/05/2026

Road trip to Mizen head shortly. Literally from as far east in Cork to as far West as you can go. 173km door to door. ESB ecars app is broken and doesn’t show charger status so plan is to stop and charge in Bandon, Clonakilty or Skibbereen.

Would be idyllic only if one of the dogs would stop fecking barking at her own echo.

Very presumptuous for the writer of my medicine information leaflet to presume my doctor is a he! As it happens my GP is not a he.
