When Bush Came to Ireland

Some of the Irish protested. The troops and Gardai prepared to protect him at great monetary cost to the Irish public.(No, I don’t want to see him murdered, and yes, there are loonies everywhere!) Bush was interviewed on Irish TV and rejected the “idea that the world was less safe because of US policy in Iraq” even though AFAIK terrorist activity increased in 2003.
Cal Thomas appeared on TodayFM last night and was so full of b*llsh*t I couldn’t believe it. He left a terrible impression of his views by dodging the main point of an article he wrote several weeks ago – that Irish protesters had to pay to protest against Bush. They were paying to go to a protest concert featuring many commercially successful artists in a large venue in Dublin.
Newt Gingrich was on Radio 1 yesterday morning and he came across as a much more intelligent, eloguent speaker, as he must do considering his job!

Beyond the Five-Paragraph Essay

We all had to write essays in school and college and some of us continue writing afterwards, and what’s more amazing, people read what we write!
Besides my usual distracted style of prose there are valid ways of writing and this article lists and explains some of them.
“I must read this later”, “I must read this later”, “I must read this later”, “I must read this later”.. (hehe, copy and paste would have been handy in school!)

Digital -> Print, nobody's doing it!

According to this post on PhotographyBLOG the number of users printing photographs is decreasing. That’s a shame as many people aren’t comfortable with viewing photos on a computer.
I’m expecting my photos from spectra and mypixmania today or tomorrow. Both sites vary widely in their user-friendlyness.
On the Spectra Photo website you’re not allowed delete the photos you’ve uploaded. There’s a 30MB limit, therefore you’re limited in the number of photos you can print at one time (and considering there’s a €1.80 P&P charge that’s a major percentage of the overall printing cost)
If you want more space you have to pay for it, but if you order prints they’ll give you another 30MB, how kind eh?
Mypixmania is much more useful, and has loads of features and is generally more friendly. Prices are low, even if quoted in British Pounds. (No, I’m not going to order from the French/German/other site!)
I have yet to try photobox.ie as John suggested previously.
