Other links:

Toms hardware on Wireless – thanks James!

Spammers are trying to guess email addresses on our mail server. Some more info on it.

Years ago, kevin linked to the Cork LUG website. Finally, I return the favour, Suberic.net

Had to record these links from the 1911 encyclopedia

Ireland.

Cork City, where I live.

I was going to post something else, but I went searching for my old xoom.com page on the Internet Archive. See the entry for 10 Jan 1999 here..

Bitches go here!

Hey Owen! Welcome to the party!

Antivirus experts have intercepted what appears to be the biggest email virus of the year so far. It’s appeared in 36 countries already since this morning apparently.

A few days ago, it became known that a shelf company only worth about £4 won a multi-million Euro contract to build Stadium Ireland. Recently on the ILUG, someone opinioned that you’d need a company to get a leased line off Eircom, they’re not interested in private individuals, Joe suggested something else. Yout have to laugh, otherwise you might cry.. *sigh*

Connectivity in Iceland – woo… I use a 56Kbps modem, what? I can get Eircom’s “hi-speed” line? Oh, that’s only ISDN and is charged by the second! Ireland, not the E-commerce hub of Europe.

Vodafone txted me this morning – half-price txts and international calls from Friday to Monday to celebrate St. Patricks Day! woo 🙂
