It’s been another week without posts, mainly because I was working on moving Mum’s blog over to a self-hosted platform and transferring her from Blogger to WordPress. The main reason was her love of podcasting – while there are a lot of services out there that offer free podcast hosting, such as Evoca, they [...]
Based on a few recommendations on Twitter over the last week, I decided to try and have a play with Tumblr. Tumblr themselves link to Wikipedia to explain exactly what they do: A tumblelog is a variation of a blog, that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats [...]
A few months ago I was in the car with my hubbie, heading down to Laois on the motorway. On Irish roads we see a lot of tailgaters, and I noticed about five cars traveling very close together. A car pulled out in front of this chain to overtake, but was traveling much [...]
Ever since our Media Centre PC (the one that records all our TV for us) broke recently, we’ve been reduced to scrolling through the NTL guide to find something to watch in the evenings. We’ve ended up watching quite a bit a bit of Gordon Ramsey and last night we finally caught an episode of the [...]
Salamanca Tapas Restaurant, St Andrew Street, Dublin, Ireland High quality tapas in a convenient central location My favourite restaurant in Dublin for several years now has been Salamanca. Being a tapas restaurant, it’s all about sharing and tasting. I normally recommend 2.5 dishes per person if you’re up for [...]

An extra layer of security’, my next thought was ‘What happens to your insurance?’ You’re covered for issues with purchase on most items on your credit [...]
Darnit, I’ve been tagged by Grandad, so I now need to do some thinking. Eight things that you didn’t know about me: I’ve played in two ‘men-only’ rugby matches when I lived in France. First time was for the local town team second string, they had 14 players for a match and the opponents [...]
If you’re not familiar with the letters and numbers above, they are US movie classifications. Via the Limerick Blogger this week is a little service from Mingle2 (a dating service I believe) that looks at your blog, website or My Space page and then gives it an appropriate rating based on the words used within. [...]
Another one from Mingle2, via Paul Walsh this time. Apparently I’m 84% addicted to blogging, which makes me more addicted than Paul! 84%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?
If you’re a geek like me, you’re always being called upon to fix computers and explain new websites and concepts to your friends and family. A while ago a short video did the rounds on blogs and email, explaining RSS in plain English. It was quite popular and now Lee LeFever is back with another [...]
Oh God, I’ve been meaning and promising to post this for ages, and now that the wedding is out of the way I no longer have an excuse! Our wedding was originally planned for 120 people, but as a lot of them were from overseas we ended up with 85 at the ceremony and meal. [...]
