When it comes to incompetence relating to computers and the internet. None of the emails I sent off to hotels in Timisoara, Romania last week were answered – with one bounceback. So I’m sure that Comreg (aka Telecoms Watch-Poodle) will be delighted to hear that Ireland isn’t the only country where you need [...]
“I am fear incarnate. I am the terror of Gotham. I am the Scarecrow!”
I must admit that ever since I was small I secretly suffered a morbid fear of scarecrows. For some people its vampires, for others its evil clowns, but ever since Harold, there was nothing that could chill me to the marrow [...]
I spotted this link on digg – a multiplayer mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, called MultiTES4. At the moment it’s extremely basic: “2 people running around Cyrodiil”. While its never likely to develop into anything to rival World of Warcraft, it is an interesting project – something I always wanted for [...]
I went to see this tonight – haven’t seen any reaction from Irish bloggers since it was released. There was plenty of coverage in the build-up, about winning the Palme D’Or at Cannes and also relating to the tripe that was published in some of England’s newspapers – one step away from labelling Ken [...]
Cork City will face Apollon Limassol of Cyprus in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. The winner will then go on to play Red Star Belgrade (aka FK Crvena Zvezda). All the qualifying round fixtures are here.

Michael Jackson flew in today and according to RTE, he will be staying at Blackwater Castle in Castletownroche.

Either way, you’d think theres no need for the [...]
Today the dog came back with a pack of 8 Crunchy Chicken Fillets in her mouth, partially frozen. I don’t know where she gets these things, but this means that in the past six months she has stolen from the neighbours:
A side of smoked salmon
A rack of lamb
A string of sausages (in true cartoon [...]

Major League Gaming (MLG), today announced that it has signed the nation’s leading four-man Halo 2 team, Final Boss, to a $1 million dollar contract, and Tsquared, one of the top individual pros in the world, to a $250,000 deal. These are by far the largest signings ever for professional video gamers, and the [...]
I was never a big fan of Red FM – most of the music doesn’t appeal to my taste (although there are some good shows like Green on Red), and like the Peoples Republic of Cork forums they tend to go much too far with their Cork self-parody. While its better than the alternative [...]
According to Kotaku, Nintendo have decided to change the name of the Wii. The article does not sound reliable to me, and there is no official source, so I won’t believe it just yet. I think it might be too late for Nintendo to go back on it now anyway, after all [...]
