Sunshine!
We'd waited so long, and now we were finally in the land of the sun.
And it was hot.
A little too hot infact. I wasn't use to it anymore, I was suffering.
Then there was the drive back home, which was an experience.

Engadget has an article on the Force Dynamics 401 simulator chair.
This thing is dangerous. I’d be afraid of crashing, because it’ll hurt too much.
Now thats realism..
Read on for the video

As promised... Tales from the Holiday
We flew with Air France this time around. Dublin to Johannesburg, via Paris.
None of this 2-stop nonsense (Last time, we did Johannesburg to Windhoek to London to Dublin).
The Flights were great, the service was good, and the onboard movies were good.
I don't think they make those seats for people with shoulders though.

And with the new year, a load of new random links.

We went back to South Africa for Christmas and New Year.
It was a nice 2 week break from all the madness of Ireland (especially around Christmas time)
It was also a break from reasonable internet access. It was just so slow trying to post blog updates, that I gave up after attempting to login for 5 minutes (and I'm not that much of a blog addict to sit through the pain).
So I'm back now, and I'll be telling you all of our trip, complete with pictures and the odd video.
There is so much to say, so I'm in the process of writing it all up, and then I'll probably have to split it into multiple posts to make them readable.
Our adventures covered things ranging from the mundane (such as waiting in queues to renew a drivers license) to the frustrating (lost luggage, destroyed credit cards), and even as far as the bizarre (elephant riding and pet zebras).
So keep checking back...

It was another classic Jeremy Clarkson moment.
CD's of data are disappearing all over Britain (Okay, maybe not.. but a good few have gone missing thanks to the UK Government), and they're full of private financial data.
So there's a massive buzz of privacy groups going on about mass identity theft, etc etc.
Clarkson, understandably, got a little bit pissed off over all the noise that was being generated by it, so he published his personal banking details in his column of the Sunday Times. He called the whole lot a "storm in a teacup".
Well, as it turns out, he was wrong. And boy does he look silly with all that egg on his face.
Someone set up a Direct Debit on his account, every month, for the value of £500. A donation to the British Diabetic Association.
Oops.
