- Untitled September 20, 2018The rear light on my black Brompton is faulty, so I’ve borrowed my wife’s Turkish green mode for the daily commute. It’s a very pretty colour, shows the dirt a bit more though.
- Untitled September 20, 2018I’m taking a twitter break for a while, and I’m going to turn off auto-posting my micro blog to twitter. You can still find me at https://t.bibby.ie or on micro.blog: http://micro.blog/thomasbibby
- Untitled September 17, 2018The Greens and Labour have organised a meeting next Monday in Limerick to listen to the experiences of people in the Direct Provision system. We’re grateful to the people who have agreed to speak and I hope lots of people will come to Ormston House to listen and show solidarity.
- Untitled September 11, 2018Straw poll of two people taking the bus to work on UL campus this morning, both journeys of ~7km: 1 hour 20 mins (1 bus); 1 hour 50 mins (2 buses). Slower than walking pace.
- Untitled September 10, 2018Consequences of designing a university campus around the private car: a bus stuck in a 1.5km tailback to the gates of the University of Limerick.
- Untitled September 7, 2018Rant: walking, cycling and taking public transport in Limerick is universally terrible but easily fixable if politicians/officials/we cared. Instead we’re stuck in the 70’s, trying to put cars everywhere. This makes our city so much more crappy than it needs to be.
- Untitled September 7, 2018I should add better public transport is also important for social inclusion as well as attracting overpaid nerds.
- Untitled September 7, 2018On the bus to Castletroy this morning. I’ve spotted two other software developers on the bus. We’re crawling along due to traffic. Limerick needs to sort out public transport and stop fetishising the private car if we want to attract professionals in high demand to the city.
- Untitled August 20, 2018My father-in-law, Joe Cahill, passed away this morning. He was a lovely kind and generous man and he will be missed. Wake in Ovens Co. Cork (Eircode P12 Y239) tomorrow at 6pm and funeral mass at noon Weds in Macroom church.
- Untitled August 16, 2018A beautiful, eloquent and wise piece from a wonderful Limerick Repealer about the referendum.
- Untitled August 15, 2018What’s next after Repealing the 8th? I’d like to help get a woman elected to Limerick Council.
- Untitled August 13, 2018Had a lovely few days camping on Cape Clear off the coast of Cork.
- Untitled August 7, 2018And in case you think that sexism in tech is a few isolated incidents and doesn’t affect the actual tech, consider this: YouTube’s speech detection is 13% more accurate with male voices
- Untitled August 7, 2018Some accounts I’ve read over the past few years from engineers and other professionals in the tech industry who have experienced sexism and harassment.
- Untitled August 7, 2018This is pretty terrible: FitBit doesn’t allow you to enter a period length of over 10 days.
- Untitled July 30, 2018This is a wonderful account by a lovely Limerick repealer of the referendum campaign. And if you’re a repealer I’d love to read your story too.
- Untitled July 27, 2018This was so much fun. Can’t wait for the last Friday in August when we get to do it again.
- Untitled July 27, 2018Critical mass in Limerick!
- Untitled July 27, 2018Effective because they put a password you’ve used in the subject line. Ransom is $1000!
- Untitled July 26, 2018Looking forward to hearing Karin Dubsky speak in Askeaton tonight about the Shannon Estuary, should be a great event.
