Tuesday, September 2, 2008 Too often I intend to write something on here, but settle for a 140 character light version instead. I’m a few days late in thanking Anton Mannering and everyone involved in organising Techludd Cork. It was a very nice event in the Cork Airport Hotel – some mini reviews here by Robin, Damien, [...]
I’ve been watching the Sopranos from start to finish since I got some boxed sets last Christmas. Lots to say about them, but I’ll keep it short for now.
Currently, I’m on season 4, and just watched this episode, “Watching Too Much Television”, where Tony and Ralphie devise a “HUD” scam (Housing and Urban Development). [...]

Wednesday, March 12, 2008 I noticed this article on RTE site about a new website Irish-Roots.
The website was officially launched today on the Jeanie Johnston in Dublin by Arts Minister Séamus Brennan and Northern Ireland Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.

If you’re an Apple fanboy like me, you have waited all this time for the iPhone to arrive. Not a dirty hacked iPhone, but the real deal. It comes courtesy of O2, as expected. You check the price tag and see that they are not bumping up the price of the phone [...]
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 I’m posting on behalf of someone who has lost their dog in the Knockraha area (near Glanmire in Cork).
The dog went missing two days ago, a quiet male dog, part spaniel, pictured here:
Please send me an email if you know of anything.
Any Irish bloggers hosted on Blacknight, be warned that they have decided to clamp down on the issue of servers getting overloaded by popularity surges on Wordpress-based sites.
As far as I can tell, Blacknight have always been good on traffic spikes, and whenever some guy gets dugg or stumbled it was well handled. Michele [...]

Wednesday, January 23, 2008 For some reason probably known to everyone except me, months will pass with no significant Irish tech-related events, then a bunch of them come together at once. Like Bus Éireann, if you’re lucky. Looks like the end of Feb/early March is one of the hotspots this year – Web2Ireland has all the latest [...]
Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Dunphy was on form on RTE last night. Accusing the FAI of “flying kites” in the media to soften the impact of the appointment of Terry Venables as Irish football manager, Dunphy comprehensively hammered Venables and urged the public to shoot down this kite before it is too late. The 21 minute segment [...]

After all the coverage that Eircom got over their security problems, Irish Broadband have attempted to capitalise on the situation with this press release: “Irish Broadband routers are totally secure”. I don’t know whether they are trying to lure any confused/misguided Eircom customers to switch providers, or whether this is an attempt to console [...]
