Two Upcoming weddings

We're thrilled to hear that both Ciarán O'Colmáin and Ethna Winter are getting married (Ciarán in February and Ethna in January) Not many left to go now from the UCD Eng class of '90.......
Ethna is having her celebrations in Tattersalls near Fairyhouse which is about 2 miles from where I lived until I was 6 years old. Great place.

Ethna's other great news was the recent birth of her son Felix. I've already cracked particularly weak"Odd Couple" jokes about her lad meeting our Oscar for the first time.

It's a baby alright

Had our scan today. Wee blobby is right on the predicted size for 9 weeks, 3 days. We expected Sibéal to be rivetted by the ultrasound but in fact she found the roller blind in the doctor's office to be more interesting. All looks good. Not twins. Sigh of relief. Catherine has the finger rash so is pretty sure what it is going to be. Next scan probably in 8 weeks. Now for a nickname.

And the most important news of all - another wee blighter on the way! Not due until next July. Scan tomorrow. Anyone got an Espace they want to swap for a Zafira? Fingers crossed it isn't twins!
Developers, Developers, Developers.
Our company, Argolon Solutions, is looking for contract developers for medium term contracts (3-9 months) just outside of Cork city. Skills required include all/any of general SQL, Oracle DB development, SQL Server DB development, Crystal Reports, Crystal Enterprise, ETL tool development, Java/C++/VBA/Perl/.Net for DB development. Contact me ASAP via our web-site www.argolon.com attaching your CV if you feel you have a skills match.

So I finally moved over to Blogspot so that publishing of this is now trivial and doesn't require an
ftp server somewhere. Hopefully this means I'll post news more often. Also looking at MSN Spaces but I'll stick with this for the time being. Tons of bits and pieces which I haven't reported on over the past few months; new niece Rachel, new house in Old Chapel, Argolon work expanding nicely, waistline not expanding but not shrinking, and no christmas shopping done yet.

More top class baby news from the Roberts'. Matthew Roberts was born 5th March, weighing in at 6lb 6oz. After a rough few days, the wee blighter is thriving. Sleep deprivation, sore nipples and post-natal hair loss are the order of the day, but lucklily that's just Frank, Helen is doing great.
