Sunday 30th March at 9pm on Sky 2. If you’re a fan that’s all you need to know Stargate: Ark Of Truth, the feature length episode which followed the last and final series of Stargate SG1 was released on DVD in the US at the start of March according to Barry’s post. I thought I’d [...]
When is the best time to upgrade your blog software? After the latest release has been out for a few weeks? When a release is so new it’s burning a hole in the ftp servers? When there have been a couple of releases because idonthavethetimetoupdateeverysingletime? Now? The best time is right now. Spammers are taking [...]
I was shocked to see a CAPTCHA this morning when I stumbled a post not yet in the SU database. StumbleUpon to me was and is the one social network where I hadn’t come across reams of spam or annoying behaviour. The overall experience there has been so smooth and enjoyable that I wondered just [...]

Britney Spears has her own agenda and apparently laps up the attention and encourages the “photographers” but how low do you have [...]
The Dell Latitude D630 comes with a number of different video cards but if you use the Intel chipset you may be frustrated when trying to activate the visual effects eye candy of Compiz: Checking either of the lower two options brings up this alert saying, “Desktop effects could not be enabled”. I didn’t bother [...]
I couldn’t possibly let today pass without noting that Arthur C. Clarke died yesterday at the age of 90. I read it first last night when Scott Beale twittered it and my first emotion was shock, and then of course sadness. I don’t know how many Saturday mornings I spent in Cork City Library looking [...]
It’s been a while since the last release of WP Super Cache, so it’s about time to release the updated code on the world! This plugin allows a WordPress blog to be served directly from static HTML files just like another popular blogging engine. When this plugin was originally released some users noticed strange folders [...]
