Irish Blog Awards

Based on Ben’s post, and a few others. 5 People I’d like to meet at the IBA – Grannymar – Granddad – Aislinn O’ Connell – Pat Phelan – Sinead Cochrane Of course, there are many, many more, but these are a few. The first two on that list remind me of a very funny [...]

Blogo

I wanted to use a desktop Twitter client, I really did, but there are some really crap ones and none seemed to have each of the features I wanted. -Ability to @reply a tweet-Click on URLs-Favourite and retweet features-Ability to DM-BOTH auto-refresh and manual refresh-Ability to only show my @replies I googled ‘mac desktop twitter [...]

Picture from the Young Scientist

Got this on Thursday I think. Arrived in the post. I laugh at the way I don’t look a complete twit in that photo. You’re free to make up your own opinion though.. :) That’s the actual picture, resting on my laptop keyboard where I took it. Twitter is open on the screen, and you [...]

Mulley

Niall has an excellent profile of Damien Mulley and what he has done for the Irish Tech Scene. It is brilliant to see what everyone thinks of him. Mulley is the King of Irish Tech. I’ve only known him since October if we’re counting in-the-flesh meetings or since around August if you mean Twitter. He’s [...]

I know one or two lads who’d beg to differ :) In possibly my most overused phrase, (and trust me, there [...]

Review Fail

What do you notice about this review? Quantum of Solace, or Boredom? Dhaka Jan 21 (bdnews24.com) – The new Bond film roars, raves and then loses steam to fall flat on its face. The pre-title sequence was a thriller. Put roaring, loud, breathtaking, jaw dropping moves into a pot and then top it off with [...]

Screenplay

Looking for my debate file this morning, I found this. It’s a Doctor Who screenplay opening that I wrote the day of my confirmation at around half seven in the morning. Thought you might like to see. My first time experimenting with screenplays so don’t shoot me if I get a term wrong. :) Blank [...]

Next Debate

Meant to post this long before now but I forgot. I’m forgetful like that :-[. Our next debate is the final. It’s on the 29th (tomorrow week). Motion is.. MODERN SOCIETY PROMOTES ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR We’re opposing. Have a good few ideas on how to tackle it. What do you think?
