I’m sure that this will not come as a surprise to many but it certainly did to me. In recent times family members have gotten the urge to give something back to the community and wanted to volunteer their services to local charities and such. Amazingly the response is either we don’t want anyone right… Read More »Charity begins… nowhere!
Personally I really hope that this doesn’t happen as I have grown quite attached to my @gmail.com address but there is a badger on Google’s arse, in a manner of speaking. Apparently another company already has rights to the gmail trademark and Google have already lost the case in the UK. If they lose the… Read More »Gmail no more?

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
We all remember the moving statues in Ireland back in the 80s, the sightings of Mary around Europe but now it looks like the holy figures are moving for wider coverage and a better reception. This report from Uganga cites that Jesus was spotted atop of a mobile phone mast. I wonder was it 3-Jesus?… Read More »Jesus – now with wider coverage
