As reported in The Irish Times today (sub required – although you can see the picture without a subscription here), Dublin city will soon be a no-go area for groups of five or more TIE Fighter starcraft. As well all know, opposition parties have been calling for stricter rules for some time, but research conducted [...]
I had a piece in the Sunday Business Post a fair few months ago about an upcoming RTE.ie redesign, and it looks like it’s finally made its debut. (Before I begin, it seems like they’ve kept most of the links the same – good thinking there!) The main page sets the tone for the entire [...]
The first Contribute appeal has been posted up on Dáil30.ie. The site will be trying to make first contact with the various political parties in the coming weeks to see if it can get some early support for the project (in the way of agreements on interviewing their future TDs). If you think you can [...]
The news has broken across the various media outlets that the Extraordinary Sinn Fein Ard Fheis on policing has wrapped up with a ‘yes’ from delegates on supporting the PSNI and Garda Siochana.

John’s domain spring cleaning reminded me of one of my favourite “once every while” webpages that I like to visit: Blacknight’s deleted .ie domain list. There’s plenty of rubbish on there, but you’re bound to stumble across a few funnies, as well as a few potential gems. The current list is pretty long, but a [...]
Roam4Free.ie launched last night, and to celebrate they’re offering bloggers a chance to win a Pocket PC. All you have to do is write a review of the site on your blog and link to this post – you’ll then be entered into the draw. The most helpful reviewer will be given the prize. Late [...]
What I’ve been referring to as “the project” lately has just been (in)formally launched. Dáil30 is my attempt (planned attempt?) to interview and podcast each member of the 30th Dáil Éireann once it is voted in – something I hope will act as an introduction to the people who lead us and as a snapshot [...]
An article of mine on a new online TV service for Ireland, in.tv, from today’s Sunday Business Post: The Irish News, based in Belfast, will launch the country’s first full online TV news service tomorrow, called INTV. The website, www.in.tv, will offer news, sport, entertainment and religious content, as well as discussion programmes and features. [...]
