Frank Miller’s Sin City provides the inspiration for this game. It’s simple but addictive!

Anatomy of a Photograph
A picture is worth a thousand words. What if that photograph doesn’t tell the whole story? Interetsting analysis of how a photo can convey a publisher’s bias.
Robert Scoble in Cork: Nov 30th
it@cork are organising a conference called “Breaking the Barriers” on November 30th. As part of that day, Robert Scoble will be giving a talk, “Blogging for Business” which could be quite interesting.
Must see if I can get in to that!
First Confession
Frank O’Connor was a Cork born author who lived from 1903 to 1966. He really deserves a lot more recognition for his work and many compare him to Joyce and Yeats.
A recent short story award in his honour awarded 50,000 Euro to the winner!
I would hazard a guess that his most famous story is First Confession, and is a great read!
Little Channel Mixer Tip – enhanced green grass
- Load up an image with a lot of greenery.
- Fire up the Channel Mixer. I don’t know where it is in Photoshop, but in the GIMP it’s in Filters->Colors->Channel Mixer.
- Slide the green bar down a small bit and move the blue bar up a bit. Values of 100, -33, 47 worked for me.
- Green grass looks much more vibrant and healthy!
Charge it!
How didn’t they realise this would cause a stir? A news agency photo shows the valid debit card number of a Hurricane Katrina evacuee! Picture included but I’m sure the account has been disabled by now!
Girls Girls Girls!
Double trouble in Barcelona
Had Maria fallen for Brian Grey, or was it simply a case of mistaken identity? Another confession of a tourist!
The Cork Northern Ring Road
A new ring road will be built in the next few years connecting the west of Cork with the north-eastern N8. It’ll be great for people living on the north side of Cork as it’ll improve access for lots of small towns, half of the city and urban population of Cork, and will provide another route for people coming from the West of Ireland.
This pdf file has a nice illustration and details of all the options available. It includes possible tunnels, and viaducts even!
The road is still in the planning stage although comments from the public were accepted up until March this year so it’ll be several years before we see this finished.
X is where I live!
Edit in 2023: The PDF and planning links are long gone. I updated them with archive.org links.
