On my way through South Campus this morning I saw Maynooth University Library Cat on his post, a sure indication that he wanted to be fed. I therefore took an item from his larder and did the honours…

Posted in Maynooth with tags cat, Maynooth University, Maynooth University Library Cat on July 14, 2025 by telescoperThough not as warm as it has been over the last few days, today still found Maynooth University Library Cat in need of a siesta.

When I was setting things up before the session I saw that we had a different version of the operating system on our cluster from what we had two years ago when I last taught this module. More importantly, all the student accounts had been provided with this desktop background image…

This afternoon, for the first time in a while, I encountered Maynooth University Library Cat at his customary position. Unfortunately he didn’t seem favourably disposed and when I tried to take his picture he turned his back on me. Luckily I was with a colleague who was strategically positioned to take the snap above.
