Starting a Business in Ireland.com looks like a promo site but has a couple of good links.
Of immediate interest will be Revenue.ie, Oasis has a page on starting a bussiness, and here’s a another page without specifics, but then you should pay them for advice, right? 😉

Techniques To Manage Procrastination
Nice list of tips and suggestions.
This Is Home
This is where I call home! Googe Maps finally gets satellite data for The Cork region. (yes, they probably have had it for ages but I’m not obsessive)
You can see the bird sanctuary where I took a number of photos.
Here’s where I grew up.
IOL used to have a map server. I remember looking at that and marvelling that I could make out the front drive of my home! The Google maps don’t seem to have the same resolution yet.
Ah, now I don’t have to tell people how to get to my house, I’ll just point them at the URL above and they can follow the satellite maps!
Wasps In My Composter!
Ah no! There’s wasps in my composter! Over the last few days there’s been an onslaught of small flies and flying ants! The local bird sanctuary is positively teeming with the little things that bite and buzz around your head! argh! “Kill Them All!”
Yesterday morning I noticed an unusual number of small insects around the garden composter, but didn’t pay it much heed as I was still recovering from the late night in Waterford on Friday.
This morning I got the zoom lens out to see exactly what they were and I wasn’t pleased.
According to this page it is possible to get rid of them: dose the heap in water until they leave. I think I’ll postpone doing that until the temperature drops. It’s expected to reach 26 degrees today and those wasps will be at their most active!
Later… it gets worse! *gulp* It’s scary having that many stinging insects in one’s garden!
Much later… after much discussion on #linux, those insects are probably bees and not wasps. I still don’t want to get close to them, but they haven’t made an appearance yet today so maybe they’ve moved on.
Luckily, there are plenty of predators feeding on the insects ..

All about fstops, shutters and iso settings
This metafilter post is a mine of information about basic camera terminology. I shoot almost exclusively in Aperture Priority mode, or even in Manual mode now.
This post will help explain how those numbers affect your photos. (via)
Why Do You Work So Hard?
Why Do You Work So Hard? – excellent, excellent.
Our culture allows almost no room for creative breaks. There is little tolerance for seeking out a different kind of “work” that doesn’t somehow involve cubicles and widening butts and sour middle managers monitoring your e-mail and checking your Web site logs to see if you’ve wasted a precious 37 seconds of company time browsing blowfish.com or reading up on the gay marriage apocalypse.
More and more people are saying goodbye to the hectic pace of today’s world. They’re doing what they want, and they’re very happy.
What it says in the papers
American papers, but after the bombing in London, there’s plenty of coverage of that horrible event.
To grill or not to grill?
Looks like grilling can be just as bad for you as frying. I hardly eat any red meat these days.
