LOLinks: Monday, March 16

Most useful blogging software award goes to… Tune into ICE this Wednesday, you might see someone you recognise.. :) Bye Mulley! Mulley’s gone to San Fran y’see. Lucky bugger. Mum, why can’t I go to San Fran?? I made an arse of myself in front of Stephen Fry on Twitter. Nice. Still, I apologised, we [...]

Promise

Disclaimer: I’m writing this, it’s late at night and some endorphins whizzing around my brain. If this isn’t 100% coherent, do forgive me. Right. Promise time. I was never one for New Year’s Resolutions. Not the idea of them, but the fact that you have to wait til January 1st to begin them, and so [...]

ICE

Last Tuesday, I got a call from someone in RTE, who asked me about my blogging habits. It was one of those calls where I’m glad that she rang me, not the other way around, purely because it lasted almost 20 minutes, and I’m low on credit. Then again, you don’t exactly ring up RTE, [...]

Me

I’m weird. I’ve been thinking. I’m odd, because I enjoy adults’ company as much as kids my own age. Yeah, that sounds weird, with ideas of creepy old men on your thoughts now, but I mean that I would get on well with people of all ages, not just teenagers. At the Irish Blog Awards [...]

Bill Pay vs. Pay as You Go

I’m considering switching to Meteor Bill Pay, leaving the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) service I’ve been using for so long. The reason is solely for the want of data. PAYG does do data, but it’s charged at 99c a day – which adds up. With Bill Pay, I can simply pay 9.99€ a month, get 250 MBs [...]

LOLinks, Friday, March 13

Great little post about US tipping from the BBC Steve’s Twitter app looking good Being a James Bond fan, I feel obliged to mention that Casino Royale will be on TV on St. Patrick’s Day at 9pm, on RTE 2. Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day, my photo hosting site, Pix.ie, is having a massive competition [...]

Media

Back in 1934, Cole Porter brought us a new musical – Anything Goes and it was a smashing success. The end of Act 1 gave us a song – the eponymous “Anything Goes”. It begins with the words: Times have changed… These words stayed with me long after I’d seen a production of the show [...]

Is it just me..

…or are the feature wishlists for iPhone 3.0 just silly? Not the idea, but what’s on the list themselves. I just find the features they request being silly. I’d like my iPhone to make me a smoothie in the morning, or perhaps critique my drumming, but that’s isn’t going to happen. That, and it isn’t [...]

Twitter for iPhone: Which one?

This is one of the few recurring themes on TT – iPhones. I recently caved in and bought one. Not 3G, heavens no. I got me a first generation off eBay for 240 quid. There are *lots* of Twitter Clients out there – which one should you use? Well, that depends. There isn’t a right [...]

LOLinks: Wednesday, March 11th

Epic wantsies What do you notice about this photo? Something’s amiss. What’s unusual about it? It’s a toy car, a diecast. This is a new thing I’ve come across, people creating illusions with toy cars, making them look real. Pretty cool. Watched Dragon’s Den last Thursday. It’s a pretty cool show, alright. Ian has a [...]
