Interesting day today. I’m off work for a few days so I cycled around Blackrock with my camera.
Down in the Line I had the camera set up to snap two of the bridges that span that old railway line when two lads came down the path on their bikes. I asked them to pose for a photo while cycling, which they declined to do at first but later they came back and I snapped a pic of them (link later). I told them it was for a website and they went off. They came back shortly and asked how they could see the photo, so I tried to tell them about photosig, but rememebered that you need to become a member there to do most things, so..
“D’you know Google.com?”
“Yeah, we go there in school.”
“Right, do a search for my name, donncha, that’s d-o-n-n-c-h-a, my homepage is the second link, I’ll post a link there.”
With that, they went off.
Google just found another function: It’s now a means for total strangers to pass on complex information without resorting to pen and paper.
Search for this and you’ll find me.

Dave can’t read the text on two websites, I tried them in Galeon and they display perfectly. A small number of popular weblogs don’t display correctly for me. It happens. *shrug*

I couldn’t have a job because that would stop my grant. So in one breath, a recent college graduate took up position in the dole queue, right behind another family member who confidently led the way to another generation of State support.
There are pros and cons to a welfare state. I’m in favour of it, as are practically all European countries. A lot of the time it doesn’t work properly though. PRSI and dentists, going back to college, child care, disabled help/care.. These are just some of the issues I’ve come across in the last 2 months, in my own life and in the media.

Bottomquark picked up on the BT hyperlink lawsuit but Zimran has a more interesting perspective: I would actually have prefered the judge to uphold the patent…. Saying a patent outlawed the Internet would have helped change bad patent law.
