RTE.ie revamped - quick review
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007I 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 site - […]
Contribute to Dáil30.ie
Monday, January 29th, 2007The 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).

SF & PSNI 4evr (Sinn Fein support policing)
Sunday, January 28th, 2007The 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.
Some interesting bits from the news reports - RTÉ says:

Some interesting deleted domains (.ie)
Saturday, January 27th, 2007John’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 quick scroll […]

Introducing Dáil30.ie
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007What 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 of […]
