then this is it! Just go and read it! She came home to meet my parents. I think it sums up exactly why I’m proud of “me mammy”, in words that I’ve never been able to string together. Go and vote it for Blog Post of the Month via the link here.
I was checking out Cuil.com tonight, the new search engine from some ex-google employees. I decided to test it against Google, and I searched for the term “ellybabes”. Whilst Cuil (pronounced “cool”) does return more results than Google (12,929 vs c.12,300), I think its ranking algorithms could do with some work yet. As Twenty commented, you [...]
Still haven’t got the inspiration for a full post, so here’s a few more bits that caught my attention over the last few days. —————————– Today is the day!

Robin had a brilliant idea to run his resume (CV) through a Tag Cloud generator, and perhaps to use this as a visual guide to the dominant themes running through other people’s CV’s. Here’s mine:
Firstly and most importantly, the long awaited day is here! Moo.com have just announced their latest product – full size business cards! All the same rules apply, up to 50 different images per pack of 50 cards, customisable text on the back (which can be done in horizontal or vertical orientations) and best of all [...]

…and a new house, but since I’ve been almost totally offline for 2 weeks, the getting of internet seems more important than the new house at the moment – totally sad?? It’s been a tough couple of weeks, lugging boxes around, packing, unpacking, putting together all the furniture (was there anything we bought that wasn’t flatpack?!?), [...]

Based on the popular US college game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” – from Wikipedia: The trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is based on a variation of the concept of the small world phenomenon and states that any actor [...]
Yesterday I began to receive text messages from a number I didn’t recognise, from a person called “Jay”. These messages were full of descriptions of what Jay wanted to do to me – and they were disgusting! Normally when something like this happens, the first person that I would talk to is my husband, but [...]
He still loved me – even when I borrowed his clothes He still loved me – even when I threw tantrums He still loved me – even when I couldn’t understand why his illness was affecting my childhood He still loved me – when I acted like a typical teenager and didn’t want to be seen with my [...]
Zenato Lugana 2006 The Zenato Lugana 2006 was provided to me by Sublime Wines to review. It retails for 11.90 from Sublime wines and is made from the Trebbiano grape variety. Mary’s review from the website states: Made on the shores of Lake Garda this wine is as scenic as the area it comes from. It is [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9. Getting to the track on race day wasn’t quite as simple as the day before. We set off at around the same time, but traffic ground to a halt about 2km before the motorway exit we needed to take. The first kilometre took us [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8. The next morning we left Maranello behind, heading along the Riviera towards Aix-en-Provence, on the way to Troyes. We didn’t have the time to stop off in Cannes or Monaco as we had planned, but the drive was smooth enough. Reaching France also meant that I [...]
Photo owned by James Cridland (cc) Work has me travelling for the next week, I’m off to Arizona to meet my new manager, so posting will probably be light. There are a few scheduled posts to complete the honeymoon series, but I doubt that I’ll get to write any more – too busy visiting friends [...]
Another of my favourite websites is Moo.com, where I buy my mini-calling cards (or Moo cards as they are ubiquitously known). They are quite common within the tech community, but if you haven’t heard of them then here’s a description in Moo’s own words (and pictures): They offer a range of products: Greetings Cards, Postcards, Notecards, [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7. The next morning we joined up with some guys from South Africa and New Zealand to be guided around the Lamborghini factory, museum and private collection, the Pagani factory and showroom, the Ferrari Museum and an external tour of the Ferrari factory by our effervescent guide Francesco. We [...]
Well, what a stormer of an announcement today – Bertie Ahern finally got around to announcing that he will be stepping down as Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland on 6th May. While I greeted his stepping down news with delight, I quickly stopped when he mentioned the 6th May date – “That’s my birthday you bugger!” [...]
I’ve written about Blurb.com in the past as one of my favourite sites. In their own words, Blurb is: a company and a community that believes passionately in the joy of books – reading them, making them, sharing them, and selling them. So we put our minds together, and developed a creative publishing service simple and [...]
Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6. The next morning we headed down for a delicious buffet breakfast, which we ate to the sounds of Pavarotti on the stereo and F1 cars testing in the background – I’ve never seen George look so satisfied! We headed off to locate a self-service laundrette to wash [...]
