Gmail your life
If like me you think that Gmail is most definitely the greatest web-based e-mail system you have ever used and even though your better judgement warns you against ticking the Google search boxes that allow searching of your e-mail through Google Desktop, you know you just want to anyway. Here’s a link to somebody else… Read More »Gmail your life
Outsourcing the Tawe
More problems with outsourcing – this time from my birthplace of Swansea in South Wales. Apparently the cit council has outsourced its IT and councillors are only complaining ever since. I have to say that I share many of these views on outsourcing and it’s about time that people realise that trying to save a… Read More »Outsourcing the Tawe
What a match!
That has to have been the greatest game of rugby that I have ever seen. Scoreline aside, the way in which the Irish team played together and, in no lesser a term, annihilated the English side was simply breathtaking.

Looking forward to new… Read More »Welcome back Karlin
123.ie wins .eu case
I note that 123.ie has won its case to claim the 123.eu domain after a long and, I’m sure, costly battle. Fair play to them for pursuing it and winning out and also to our local domain guru jmcc whom I believe helped them out in the case. However, I hope that the irony of… Read More »123.ie wins .eu case
