Introducing…

…Bo Burnham. I don’t normally see a youtube video and think to myself – yeah, they’ve got talent alright. However, I picked up a link to this guy initially from Damien Mulley’s Fluffy Links and maybe it’s just me but I think the kid has talent. He’s genuinely funny even if one shouldn’t laugh at… Read More »Introducing…

1, 2, 3 – SLUMP!

  • by

It’s official, not that I haven’t known it for some time anyway, but the ESRI have finally sent chills down the spine of every estate agent and recent property investor in Ireland. C’mon lads we’ve been telling you for ages! Yes, houses in Ireland are massively overvalued, yes supply will now ease off to try… Read More »1, 2, 3 – SLUMP!

Equality…

…somebody wrote the rule book 50 years ago and never bothered releasing a second edition! This morning on the radio I hear that the equality authority, whom I have had the pleasure of dealing with in a professional capacity once upon a time, are putting out to tender, a report to indicate how women are… Read More »Equality…

O’Mulder and O’Scully

  • by

Yes, the truth is still out there; in Ireland! Just read in the Times this morning that a dossier that was kept by the Irish defence forces for 37 years has been released, including details of UFO sightings around the emerald isle. The most comical entry in the dossier must be a sighting reported by… Read More »O’Mulder and O’Scully

Google has just added its much awaited Presentations to its current offering of Docs & Spreadsheets. I read this announcement on the Google blog earlier and just gave it a whirl. First impressions, yes, I’m impressed. Obvious omissions are a big selection of templates and slide transitions but additional features such as webcasting your presentation… Read More »Google Presentations

Colin McRae RIP

Scarcely can I believe reading the headlines today that Scottish rally legend Colin McRae was tragically killed in a helicopter accident yesterday, along with his young son and two family friends. Such tragedy casts my mind back to the day when I heard about the death of Joey Dunlop, another daredevil of the racing circuit.… Read More »Colin McRae RIP

Bertie, Docked

  • by

Yesterday, in the most anticipated docking since the astronauts joined the International Space Station, our beloved Taoiseach finally stepped up at the Mahon Tribunal to answer some questions relating to all this payment scandal that we have been hearing about and funding as tax payers. When it was put to Bertie that he may not… Read More »Bertie, Docked

Think your website is big?

Bet you it’s not this big. A spider web discovered in Texas, USA is suspected to be a collaborative effort of thousands of spiders and stretches over 200 yards. This is the kind of stuff that horror movies are made of… source: Boing Boing

My First MT4 Bug?

  • by

A couple of days ago I got around to setting up MovableType 4 on my blog server. All went well for the upgrade as usual and I was very happy with the new features and the new look and feel of the upgraded platform. However, last evening I think I have stumbled across the first… Read More »My First MT4 Bug?
