Ok, last post about it I promise! If you missed, or indeed want to watch the documentary “Reaching for Glory: Inside Irish Rugby 07″, you should take yourself over to cdworld.ie who have the DVD on-sale for EUR 20. My copy has already been ordered and should be out with me over the next few [...]

Well, I said it would be unmissable, and how right was I?! Last night, I watched Reaching for Glory: Inside Irish Rugby 07 and I was completely blown away by it.

I wrote last week about Skype updating their application to reduce echo whilst using the inbuilt speakers and mic on iMac’s and MacBooks, but followed my post shortly with an update to say that the software update had in fact broken my bluetooth headset quite badly. I was far from the only person who was [...]

But, we know that many of those 2.2 million people are not Irish, probably something in the region of about 400,000 [...]
