But did they go far enough? Following a complaint by journalist John Seigenthaler over false allegations that he was somehow involved in the Kennedy assassinations Wikipedia have decided to tighten its rules. They now require users to register before posting new articles. However people can still edit existing articles without registering which is totally stupid [...]

I suppose I should mention that today is Finnish Independence Day (Itsenäisyyspäivää). They’re fairly proud of their independence these Finns. They had a parade in the city centre with all the usual flag flying, military vehicles and a fly-over of some Air Force aircraft. I would have taken some pictures only I was in bed [...]

I don’t know what I’ve done to Firefox but it’s using a lot RAM at the moment. Anybody else have similar problems? I’ve heard that some Mac users are having problems also but I think that’s because of an existing bug. I’ll have to do a bit of investigating.

I’ve decided to invest in a digital camera, hopefully this weekend, but I’m absolutely clueless on what to look for. Anyone got any recommendations? I have only three requirements, it must be compact not SLR, it needs to be good quality (4-5m px?) and it must be cheap! Any ideas?

I’ve had an awful craving for some David Bowie recently, not any of his newer stuff, I need the golden oldies. Problem is I can’t bloody find my Changes Bowie tape anywhere which only makes the craving worse. I was reading an Irish book earlier (ok it was just a phrase book for parents) and [...]

As you probably know soccer legend George Best has died in hospital at the age of 59. I won’t waste much time on him because although he was probably the most talented player to ever come from this island he was given a second chance at life with a liver transplant but pissed it away. [...]

Gerry O’Sullivan is doing a review of the browsers he uses. It’s something I had intended to do but never found the energy. So far he has reviewed Safari [Safari home] and Camino [Camino home] (both Mac only) and i’m sure there’s more to come. Btw if you’re a Mac user Microsoft actually recommends that [...]

I’ve finally gotten my copy of GGF and had a chance to review it (1 night). Before I start I think it’s important to note that there’s no point comparing the game to the best of the best football games (Pro Evolution Soccer 5 or FIFA 2006) after all GGF is produced by a tiny [...]
