I’ve just been evaluating disk space usage for this blog, and The Dublin Blog and was wondering where the hell all my disk space was going to. Turns out that a plugin that I was using on both wp-shortstat was the culprit, gathering loads of data that I hardly ever use into my databases. Apparently, [...]

Here’s a video I took at the weekend of Ireland running out onto the pitch to play England on Saturday. The atmosphere in Croke Park is like nothing I have experienced before, I can’t wait to watch the recording of the game on TV. Oh, and the best bit about the game…the scoreline at the [...]

Something that’s always really bugged me about flickr (one of the few things that really bugs me about flickr!) is the fact that when there’s activity on your photo’s, in the form of comments / notes etc, that you have to go and check up on your recent activity page to find it. Well, that’s [...]

Ok, this seems a little too good to be true, but, apparently it is!

But, the forecast for tonight looks a little more interesting: Very cold and windy tonight with strong easterly winds and with [...]

If, like me, you’re in the market (as I have been for quite a while!) for an Ultra Wide Angle lens for your Canon 20D / 30D and were always left scratching your head as to why the Canon EF-S 10 – 20 was worth approx $200 more than the Sigma 10 – 20, well [...]

The wonderful Other Voices started back on RTE2 tonight, and whilst checking out the site, I noticed that there was a Damien Rice Special on over Christmas that I seem to have missed. Thankfully, RTE have gotten their act together, and have posted the entire show online for you to watch, I’m watching it here [...]
