Ireland 2024

Posts from our tripe to Ireland in July 2024. We were invited on this trip by our friends Jason and Beth Wagoner, who were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.


Rented a small tractor with a loader to (finally) move a giant pile of rocks and reinforce/beautify the shoreline. The rock pile was salvaged from rocks that were pulled out of the flower gardens over the past two years. The previous owners really liked their rocks! #AislingHouse #LakeLife

I worked on #ProjectWineCellar this weekend, with the goal being to finish the door and seal everything up in preparation for the cooling unit.

First up, I caulked and painted the door stops attached to the jamb, and then installed weatherstripping. #wine #woodworking

I had a great conversation with @manton@manton.org last week at Release Notes, during which I realized the pointlessness of maintaining two separate blogs. The original idea, years ago, was to have separate places to post longform and microblog format posts, but I haven’t posted anything longform in years, so why bother?

Today I got everything merged into a single blog at https://dazeend.org, and even managed to save all my history. This setup makes a lot more sense for me moving forward. 👍

We closed #ReleaseNotes last night with a reception at St. James Cheese Company. This was a great weekend full of friends and laughter—and we even talked a little tech too! Thank you to everyone who joined us. I look forward to seeing you all again next time!

After exploring the French Quarter yesterday, a group of us headed back to the Garden District to Turkey and the Wolf, which reportedly makes some of the best sandwiches in the country. And after eating them, I believe it. There was a line to get in, but their fried bologna sandwich is on point! #ReleaseNotes #NewOrleans
