Since my last years resolutions went so well (I could tick off one out of eight...), here are my New Years resolutions 2026:
- #triathlon: train accordingly to finish #AlpeDHuez triathlon
- #LRC radio operator exam: learn for and pass the exam, ideally in the first quarter of the year
- #sailing: this is twofold: 1. Swiss lakes sailing and promote the sailing community, 2. buying a ocean going boat if there is a good opportunity, in preparation for taking early retirement
- #downsizing: also, in preparation for taking early retirement
- #freediving course: get my shit together and convince my brain I'm not going to die by breathholding for 45s
- learning #English / #French: study diligently for 15 min daily

Eh, pls #boost my request to #getfedihired, if you could spare two clicks? 🥺
I've been humming and hawing about posting this, it feels strange, something about generational guilt & working class shame & ... but it's either this or start putting my CV through LLMs to include every buzzword on the listing I'm applying to. I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.
I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).
#Christmas miracles appreciated!
In #Ireland with my partner, but we've lived in different places and would move happily. I've a year experience doing an IT support role the last year, but have transitioned to this stuff later than usual.
Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in #Berlin for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in #Lyon (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.
Oh, very comfortably fluent in #French, pretty fluent in #Irish (my first love), and intermediate #German (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).
Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the #Linux / #Emacs / #Lisp side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.
Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.
CVs and references available, DMs open. Thanks so much for any and all help!

It only just occurred to me that the English and French words garage come from the French verb garer which also gives us the French word "gare" for train station (as in La Gare du Nord).
I have been staring at these words all my life. I have no idea why this decided to click tonight. (Except that I was thinking about the Italian word parcheggio.)

Sooooo... thinking about the possibility and feasibility of big life changes, namely studying opera seriously in Europe. Would love to connect with other #Blind language learners, especially those using #braille as a component of their learning. Currently learning #French. Am particularly interested in chatting with people who have taught themselves grade 2 French Braille as well as those who are either conversational or fluent and/or who have worked in or currently live in a #Francophone European country. If this is you or you're in any way adjacent to this world, please reach out. Would love to talk to you. Would also love to chat with people who use #MusicBraille / #BrailleMusic in Europe.

![The image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting the historical town of Sestri Levante, with its coastline and marina filled with various sailing boats. The foreground features a single sailboat on calm waters, carrying several individuals who appear to be engaged in recreational activities or transportation. In the background, numerous other moored vessels are visible alongside docks where more boats rest upon land.
The town's architecture is characterized by classical European buildings lining the waterfront, exhibiting multiple stories and balconies that overlook the sea. Notably, a large building with prominent windows suggests it could be an important establishment such as a hotel or public facility. The backdrop showcases rolling hills and mountains under a slightly overcast sky, enhancing the vintage ambiance of the scene.
There is text at the top left corner in French "Sestri Levante – La spiaggia e Grand' Hotel," indicating that this photograph was taken to promote Sestri Levante as an attractive vacation destination. The overall composition and elements within the image suggest it could be a postcard or historical documentation of the town's landscape during its heyday, possibly in the early 20th century based on the style of boats and architecture depicted.
