Happy Halloween!





Well its past midnight, by quite a bit, so i should be in bed.. Soon. So how did you spend your halloween? me I had a great time, at work i dressed up as a pirate for most of the day to keep the mood, then we (being my girlfriend and I) both sat down for some scray haloween game of "dead space". Dead space was alright, but then we finished it with a viewing of that cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ah the classics never die!

3 Broadband on GRPS..

Can you use it in a grps to access the internet?

short answer.. = NO.. wel sorta

long answer

"When using the 10GB tariff the E169 device will only connect when receiving a 3G or HSDPA Signal, however your 3 Mobile handset will allow you to make calls when in the 2G Signal areas. For confirmation of you signal coverage please visit our website at www.three.ie and select Coverage or call our Customer Services team."

3G mobile broadband a breaze to set up?


Well it is finished and set up, but let me give you a few words of advice to those using windows vista.


1- You must have credit to access the internet.. why am i telling you this? well you ironicly need credit to access the 'top up my account' page.. which will leave your red in the face since I couldn't connect to it via the 3g modem.. if you don't have credit on your 3 3G mobile (3 is the company name here in ireland) you will connect to a network but recive a "limited connection" if this is your issue, then check it.

2- Its a modem & a usb key.. sometimes vista will get confused which one it is, in fact when you go to install it, it may only see it as a usb key.. this requires you to manualy install the software thats on it, thats how i got it to work on mine. Once installed try to use it in the same usb point, usualy it works every time, however, i have had to unplug it and replug it in a few times and it finds it their after

3- The install will take ages to install one file.. from memory it was xmailbox.dll or somthing their off.. just let it go.. it will take maybe even 3mins.. i'm not so sure why, but it does continue just sit tight n wait.

4- Put the simcard into the device.. you'll be suprised, i didn't even know i had to do that.. but since it sounds silly to say so considering even the manual states it.


These tips helped me, and yes i'm able to use the mobile broad band.. also speed wise the 3 3G broadband is great when you get a full connection, and can easily handle things such as World of Warcraft or Youtube.. just remmber you've got a 10GB limit on the better package.. thats still heafty, and you could very well play world of warcraft in moderate usage.. just try keep it to general surfing or chatting and a few moderate games of wow and you'll find it a very very good deal

Witch Hunt!


I'm in a class with Eilís and its all about witchcraft.. which is quite cool.. fact its the most intersting class i've seen.. or even been heard off. This is nice because the guy has a really soft voice.. kinda like that Watcher from Buffy the vampire slayer.. yeah I can't remmber his name right now..

Before then I got myself some thing to drink, and came across this awsomely cool cash register that is more l33t than anything i've everseen, it even speaks it!

Also.. you can see the Galway Uni prides itself on its security...

Sorry Imac.. Sega CD sits here now!



Well it finaly arrived, with a nice collection and 2 controlers too! Scotts out looking around sligo with some faimly of mine to keep him company. Also the console was in VERY VERY good condition, the only hinder was the connectors for the unit was dirty, but sure a quick wipe with that and away it went. The mega cd load times.. from what i'm telling seam to be extreamly over exaderated. I've found no need for the silly comments that people say. I've played some cool side scroller game that i'll say more about later.. but for now, i'm very very happy with the item... now if only that dam sega nomad showed up some time soon =/

Blizcon Day one.. what do we know so far?

Well, as the first day drew to a close a few good gems came out of the blizzcon. We have found out they have another class for Diablo 3 known as the wizzard class,



i'm asuming its a 'mage' equivilent for Diablo. We also found out that the attendets to the blizzcon will be reciving a free beta key for the upcomming Starcraft 2. Some cool attacks she has includes the ability to 'slow down time'

Some people seam abit bumed because an anouncment that it will be split into Trillogy with each part being sold as an expansion.

But the funlight of the day was when the Cosplay was brought out, first place easly one by a Draenei riding a fully motorized turtle mount.
