Irish MEP Kathy Sinnott and other MEPs filmed in Brussells at 7am on a Friday morning clocking in with bags packed. Oh dear. Kathy Sinnott, fresh faced and angry after 7 hours work overnight. Makes me wonder if I should have voted yes to Lisbon. Kathy Sinnott was looking for a No vote (no, she [...]
Saor Patrol, a Scottish band “with their vibrant pipe tunes and drum rhythms [that] please and excite many a crowd” certainly lived up to their reputation when they played for the crowds in front of Brown Thomas on Patrick Street this afternoon. I came upon them when they were nearly finished but the few minutes [...]
My previous post about hacked WordPress sites caused Donnacha to ask, After your last post on this subject, I was thinking that it would be a good idea for Automattic to create a plugin that carries out all the checks you suggested people do to find out if they’ve been hacked… At the time I [...]

My vote has been cast. I voted no to the Lisbon Treaty half an hour ago in Blarney. Why? It wasn’t to be aligned with Sinn Fein or the Socialist Party who I’d never vote for. It wasn’t because I wanted to piss off Brian Cowen and the main parties. It was partly because I [...]
OK, so what if Charlie Harper sucks? The main character of Two and a Half Men is lazy and selfish, a drunk and womaniser, but he sure is popular! Hello to all my new Australian visitors!
Remember a few weeks ago there was all that noise about WordPress blogs getting hacked? Remember how everyone was urged to upgrade their blogs. You did upgrade didn’t you? No? It was inevitable that you’d be hacked. If you haven’t been hacked yet, it’s only a matter of time. Unfortunately for some who did upgrade, [...]
