There are changes afoot, which you may have noticed, with occasional glitches or the lack of anything at this address. Basically I have been working on a variety of things behind the scenes, whilst attempting to keep everything looking as normal as possible in the mean time. Unfortunately though I have been left with very [...]

I realise that ‘reactions’ are supposed to be almost instantaneous on the web and many of the blogging folks have managed to get their write-ups on the Irish Web Awards online already. My brilliant excuse is that my macbook died on Saturday afternoon, leaving me unable to live-blog the awards, or upload the photos and [...]

What if we could redefine the words we know? One step towards this is through The Big Word Project. The Big Word Project was set up by Lee Munroe and Paddy Donnelly two masters students studying Multidisciplinary Design at the University of Ulster in Belfast. Since February 2008 they have sold thousands of words which [...]

I will admit that it is important, although the chaos that resulted after Gmail went down for an hour or so (for some, longer) last night was quite surreal. Thousands of tweets, widespread panic, and even an article to mark the occasion. “productivity up of 20 million people” – Techcrunch Though for many people, this [...]

The king of Internet ideas, Ze Frank, has started a Colorwar. I’ve taken my throw. ROCK! Go noTeam!

When I first heard of Twitter I thought it was so totally ridiculous. Sending and receiving txt messages is not new. It’s distinctly old technology. So I signed up. After receiving some useless messages from some people I had added – the sort of messages that said, “Just got the kids to bed, now gonna [...]

I’m feelin’ a little weird doing this. It was hilariously funny. They sussed it out and sent a nice little apology. Why am I doing this. Well just to follow up on the story. Maybe I should have just left it at that. But what the heck. from    Clint Word <cword@godtube.com> to date     Wed, Mar [...]

Here is an email I received 30mins ago. I’m not genius at tracing mail but it seems like it is coming from Godtube. This was in the original/detailed message: Received: from FE4.exchange.rackspace.com ([10.244.5.57]) by FE4.exchange.rackspace.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Tue, 4 Mar 2008 18:49:48 -0600 Received: from admin.godtube.com ([67.192.33.245]) by FE4.exchange.rackspace.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959);

There had been rumours that this year would be better than the previous two, and with the addition of intros, music and a few words from George Bush it was. Once again, but very deservedly, Twenty Major won the award for best blog, coinciding with the recent release of his book the two prizes go [...]

I am always in search of gig guides, and to know where my favourite bands are without having to launch their Myspace page. The answer came to me a couple of weeks ago. Sceptical at first, assuming it was just another web 2.0 hopeful, I turned out to be quite wrong once I delved into [...]
