Review of Nike +

Nike + The Nike+ add-on for your iPod Nano is not just some fancy gimmic that iPod developers want you to buy.

The robot is designed to mimic the abilities of a type of lizard that has mastered the art of water running. Move over rubber ducky, bath-time just… Read More »Nice one Floyd!

Flock It!

Yes, rather than laying age-old copper lines and maintaining them, the country’s Telecoms have decided to go with a proper option. Eircom heads,… Read More »Hey Eircom!

WordPress Permalinks

If like me you’ve run into the wonders of WordPress permalinks previously and hit brick walls such as 404 and 403 HTTP errors when you change from the default ?p=ID to the pretty /blog/2007/07/12/entry, then this post is for you and the many other people who have asked me this question previously. 🙂 Not sure why considering the fact that I use MovableType as my blogging software but anyway!
