Temptation
I almost gave in to temptation and resubscribed myself to various Gnome mailing lists but I resisted the temptation and my incoming mail has slowed to just a trickle. I do not claim to be an expert (although anyone who claims to be is asking for trouble) and I would like to believe I provide some worthwhile insight but I know there are many capable people who will express similar opinions and provide their own insight. Hopefully I can avoid other distractions and motivate myself to study for my exams. I mean what is the worst that could possibly happen to Gnome in just a few months while I'm not watching?!

Helper Monkey
Monkey, Monkey, Monkey. Helper Monkey is a great name for a band and my friend Kevin Moroney is in a band by that name and I'm off to see them play. When they were getting started they didn't have a drummer and only had a drum machine which inspired the name Helper Monkey. The band was pretty good as far as I can tell (and I know I'm more than a little biased) but I'd be surprised if they won the overall competition. The competition consisted of roughly eight bands competing to be the opening act for the Trinity Ball, a hugh private concert held in Trinity College Dublin most years.
