A set of pictures of 3 days spent in Algarve. I will upload about 100-150 pictures in total in the next few days.

Detail of the old chair, paint removed. This chair used to be in the home my dad lived when he was a child. Now the chair was covered in light colored paint that was peeling off.
This is my first attempt in old furniture restoring.
I love the way the old dark paint looks below, so it will be no paint on top of it now. More pictures of the chair in the set

Needed indeed, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

4th July. A day for the BBQ.
Not a day for the rain and autumn floods, ideally...
But it has been raining and raining for the past 24 hours, with water on the streets downtown, and no end (raining 2.30AM still) photoset

Puffin flying, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

We went to Skellig island in Co Kerry for a day.
A lot of puffins and an old monastery, even on a foggy day <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zisa/sets/72157605507305449/>a lot to see</a>.</p>

We went a few weeks ago to Cape Clear (again), and this is one of the lovely views from there. Way more photos here.

It's spring when the trees blossom like this.

There were hundreds of people selling daffodils in Dublin on the daffodil day for cancer research and awareness, but none of them looked as cool as this guy.

I finally got the new camera, Panasonic FZ-18K.
I'll get the SLR when the time is ready....
Mmm. I like it. Now time for a weekend and a nice sunny weather. :)

Fire close to Infirmary Road # 1, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Yesterday there was a lot of smoke, and a number or firefighters and garda cars next to South Infirmary hospital in Cork. I had only my camera phone with me, and was too tired and sick to figure what all it was about, but there were 20-30 curious people following the situation closely.

Sunset, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Sunset...
When I get to work, it's before sunrise, and this is when I get back home. As today the time was switched to winter time, it will be home after sunset...
I don't really like winters, as I sleep like a bear. My brain needs more sunlight to function - the fake lights don't do it, it is only registering to my brain as being in a pharmacy.

Rum, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Preparing feuerzangenbowle (set) - a winter German thing that I have picked 3 years ago when living with a bunch of Germans ...
(recipe) - wine, spices, more wine, sugar, rum, fire, friends...

Some of the available cheeses at the farmers market in Kinsale (there on Tuesday mornings).

Eiffel tower at night, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Eiffel tower illuminated for the rugby.
A coworker sitting in front of me was in Paris too, I discovered today, but he was for the rugby there.

Yep, that is an iPhone. And yes, the sticker covers the logo. :)
I finally used an iPhone, in France... A Swedish coworker had bought one.

Paris set for more shots. Didn't have unfortunately time for many other shots.
Finally now in October I plan to get a new camera...

Rose, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

I walked downtown looking for a house on a side street that would have fields both sides of it. I missed that road and that house but at least there were other beautiful things on the road.

I so can't wait to get a new camera. Should have it in about a month.

Foggy day out, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

I woke up 8 AM yesterday. It was foggy and sunny - the fog covered the downtown, it looked like someone had covered the whole downtown in cotton candy.

Red and White, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Red and white, the colors of Cork. And Poland (there is an incredibly big number of Polish in Cork by the way), and Chicago, and a few other locations.

A pub in Ireland, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Our receptionist, Michael, went back to college in Swansea, so we went to have a pint for him.
It's odd how sometimes the pictures that go just wrong can become what you feel basically without editing.

Cornmarket Street set today.

Ubuntu Ultimate, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

These are not photos .. it's a set of screenshots while playing with Fusion. So got Windows, OS X, Solaris, Ubuntu, PCBSD and whatever I like running on my Mac. whole set.
These were taken while Fusion was still Beta. Will be interesting to compare how they will look compared to the future releases.

Apple Pro keyboard Earring holder, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

Very long time since I've added anything here....
I used the sheet of metal that was left from the Apple Pro keyboard for making an earring holder. (Also made wallet out of it, in previous posts.)
Excluding the time to actually take apart the keyboard, it would take about 5 minutes to figure out how to make one, or even less.
I originally planned on painting it, but the aluminium color looks techie itself. Maybe later.
Broken things can be useful and creative. A keyboard that is not working itself, turned to a nice wallet and a display for the earrings and jewelry. The white keys will be removed the lettering so I can make a daskeyboard type keyboard with them on a working Apple pro keyboard, and the white things behind the keys will also find some use. Something flowery perhaps...

Apple blanket finished, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

I finally finished the apple blanket.
This is how it looks. It's got 8 x 12 pieces of t-shirt parts. In total about 25-30 apple t-shirts that were that old that they could not have been worn any more were put into it. In an old entry there are more details of it [linky]

Wallet made out of Apple Pro keyboard, originally uploaded by uninorth13.

I spilled some liquid on my Apple Pro keyboard so the asdfghjkl;'\ row wasn't working anymore. As it is a membrane keyboard, I tried to save the memories of it (after all, this particular keyboard had good memories). So I saw in instructables how to make a wallet out of a keyboard, and here is how it looks. The keys of the keyboard will have the lettering removed, so that I can make my own daskeyboard for it.
