Sunday Tribune’s website get a facelift
Monday, June 16th, 2008The Sunday Tribune’s website has gotten a much-needed overhaul having had one of the worst web-presences in Ireland for some time now.
The new site features RSS feeds, comments, an archive dating back to 2000 and a breaking news service (not sure if this is in-house or taken from an existing news/wire service) - all of […]

Sunday, June 8th, 2008Below is an article of mine from today’s Sunday Business Post. The piece is about RTÉ’s plan to launch a 24-hour news channel online this coming week, which will stream the broadcaster’s news and current affairs programming as well as repeat it throughout the day.

O2’s iPhone conundrum
Thursday, June 5th, 2008While we won’t know for certain until Steve Jobs takes the stage in San Francisco next Monday (at 6pm Irish time), it is all but certain that the centre-piece of his keynote to the WWDC will be the 3G iPhone.
Precise specifications and details are sketchy but various reports suggest the new model will feature GPS, […]
The Herald goes online
Thursday, June 5th, 2008As of yesterday Ireland’s Evening Herald newspaper has an online presence - over ten years after its sister ‘paper The Irish Independent went online and around thirteen years since The Irish Times did so.

The integrated newsroom
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008The Press Gazette yesterday published an interesting although somewhat vague article on The Guardian’s moves to the ‘integrated newsroom’, a term that is sure to become the buzz-word of the mainstream media in the coming months and years.
The Guardian’s mission, headed up by editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger, is to merge the editorial operations of The Guardian […]
NIN and the ever-moving boundaries
Monday, May 5th, 2008I’ve blogged about Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails so much already I’m starting to feel like I should rename this blog, but allow me to go down this route once again.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008I’ll be on Today FM’s The Last Word at around 6pm this evening to talk about eircom’s broadband proposals (again) in light of opposition to it from the ALTO group (Which comprises of eircom’s main opposition such as BT Ireland, UPC and Smart telecom).
Tune in online or on the radio if you’re about!
Don’t buy an iPhone (yet)!
Sunday, April 6th, 2008O2 are going to love me for that headline but this is nothing to do with their price plans or the device itself, which is still tempting me even with its flaws.
Basically, anyone who doesn’t absolutely have to have an iPhone (and who does?) should hold off buying one for the next month or so […]
Parental responsibility? Pfft.
Friday, March 28th, 2008The British media gave a lot of time yesterday to a newly published report on the regulation of computer games, the main recommendation of which was to reform the ratings system… again.
Up until 2003 games in Britain (and in Ireland as a result) were given a rating by ELSPA, which is an association of software […]
