No, seriously folks! John McCormac asked on the ILUG how many were in the sub 100K category of the Linux Counter. I had a vague memory of registering there ages ago and turns out I’m #52277! ‘Course, on slashdot, I’m #1377 which is slightly better!
Popular Photography Stuff
Mark posted links to several PP articles, some of which I’m interested in!
- Blur Busters! – about the new anti-shake/vibration technology in cameras. Nice.
- Divorce, Digital Style – hehe. Made me smile, could be useful if I want to resurrect some of my old photos!
- The Photoshop Makeover – Nip/Tuck begone! I can do the same on my PC!
- Darkroom vs. Desktop – a fun look at the differences between them!
Vex, where are you?
Several years ago any resident of Blackrock would recognise this tag. It was plastered all over the area, on every lamp-post, many walls and practically every smooth surface. I spotted this one near Blackrock Castle while Jacinta and I cycled past. It was at the bottom of a metal door almost completely hidden by bushes!

Old Boats in Kinsale
These boats lay quietly in the shallows, away from the maddening crowds at the weekend.

At the beach, a nice picnic, beautiful sunshine and great company. What more could a guy ask for?
Before the weekend..

Huge number of tips here. Linux related and otherwise. A few NSFW jokes but otherwise good stuff in a nice text file!
Cork, All Dug Up!
It’ll be worth it in the end, but Cork City is a city under construction right now. The drainage works came first, then a re-design of the City Centre streets. Oliver Plunkett St. (where this photo was taken) is showing promise already, as long as they don’t tarmac over the nice brickwork laid into the street surface. That’s almost bound to happen like it did in Paul St.
