Yep that’s correct, 30gigs.com are offering free email accounts with storage space of 30 Gb! The last thing I need is another email account, what with the 1000 mail accounts which come with my website plus my Gmail account (and umpteen extra Gmail accounts there if I need them) but I decided to sign up [...]
If the worst comes to worst and some huge disaster befalls us, such as some psycho called George dropping nukes and ya have to leave home in a hurry, what do you bring with you? Ok, this doesn’t apply to Ireland so much because …. well … where can ya run to? If any nukes [...]
Co. Limerick is to get her first first Irish medium secondary school, Gaelcholaiste Luimnigh, which will open in September 2006! The opening of any new Irish medium school is good news for the language IMO.
That’s what it looks like. On a MUTV phone-in Keane said: “I would like to play another year or two but I do not think it will be at Manchester United,” His contract is up this summer and if he doesn’t get a new contract before then he’ll already have made up his mind to [...]

I just would have [...]

The program will also search for illegal music, movies and even images! Danger on TCAL makes an interesting point; It [...]
I just had to post this. Via Slashdot I came across this very cool homemade “sentry gun”. It’s basically an FN P90 ‘BB’ gun, set up on a camera tripod with a few servo motors & servo controller and operated by a home coded program which accesses the images from a digital camera for the [...]
Some big[-ish] news from the browser world this week, Opera have made the decision to offer their browser for free. This is a huge move for Oslo based Opera who before this charged $39 for their browser (there was also a free version with annoying ads at the top). With 100,000 buyers per year the [...]
I’m fascinated by the “space elevator” idea. It still really sounds like science fiction but apparently the technology needed to complete such a project already exists. Keithcu explains some of the technology involved and argues why NASA should be focussing on this rather than putting people back on the moon. I’m curious why Bush/NASA are [...]
