I was pricking around with Skype and I noticed this feature called the “Skypecast” which is a hosted call where you can have up to 100 people participating. I started to wonder … would it be interesting if we managed to get 100 Irish bloggers together for a chin wag? Come to think of it, [...]
What better way to follow up a U2 Top 10 than trying to nominate the best tune of all time!?! It’s quite a task to pick one single song out of about 50 gazillion (not accurate) and claim it is the best ever song. It’s something we could never reach a consensus on, we all [...]
Found myself listening to a whole lotta U2 this week, especially the old stuff, brings back memories. So I decided to create a Top 10 … with a difference … Top 10 U2 pre-Joshua Tree lesser known toons which make you say “jaysus, remember dat? I haven’t heard dat in ages!” Here would be my [...]
This is from today’s Crossword of the Day which appears on Google’s personalised homepage… Anyone else offended by that? p.s. crossword is by Puzzlerscave not Google. Edit: direct link to crossword Update: I decided to submit a complaint to Puzzlerscave. I just received a response … basically a fob off: “Please report your complaint to [...]
Two famous Irish men ‘passed on’ this week. The first is Roy Keane who, as you know, has fucked hips and now has to go on the dole cos his soccer career is over. Keane was one of the best Irish footballers ever and is on my favourite footballer of all time list along with [...]
DUP’er gets elected in Nationalist stronghold. Stoop gets elected in Unionist stronghold. Nationalists and loyalists in North Belfast reach historic deal. What the fuck is going on?? Nationalists and loyalists team up to beat the shit out of Lithuanians. What’s with all this lovey dovey stuff up North these days?
Pricking around with … A new series on Raiméis, one which will probably die like all the other grand ideas I’ve had because of pure and unadulterated laziness, where I take sumthin’ (usually software) prick around with it and see what happens… Makehuman prealpha 0.8 demo In short, MakeHuman is a application for making accurate [...]
I ordered a wee yoke off the web last Thursday, it should arrive by tomorrow. I hate waiting though, I totally suck at waiting. I keep checking the DHL website every 5 minutes for an update but the package hasn’t moved all day. I probably should take DHL’s advice; “It’s still in fucking Paris, it [...]
Why am I getting Russian ads displayed in my sidebar such as the one on the left there? The website is Finnish … the ad displayed presumably because my ISP is Finnish. Mmkay, makes sense. But why isn’t the ad text displayed in Finnish or English then, especially when the website itself defaults to English [...]
I’ve turned into a music download slut. Can you believe I downloaded 25 albums this week!?! 25! Plus a pile of individual tunes! Now I need a new MP3 player cos it’s already full even without these 25 new albums. They weren’t all for me though, herself wanted some girly stuff like Shakira and Coldplay, [...]
