Behaviour : Using CSS selectors to apply Javascript behaviours

Lurvely! This is a very neat method for removing Javascript from html pages! Embed it in the CSS! (sort of!)
He has a couple of examples on his page, and it looks easy enough in principle. The devil’s in the details don’t you know but it looks like it’s worth trying!
He’s a busy beaver too.. he has an MVC framework and tutorial that steps you through an example.

Naval Ships in Cork Harbour

Today myself, Ryan and AJ went down to see the various naval vessels docked in Cork Harbour.
Ryan has already posted some great photos and here’s some of mine here. The URL will change but I’ll update this post when it does!
I had a great time, the Germans got a great kick out of seeing a crazy photographer lying down on the quay taking snapshots of a coiled rope, but they did pose for a photo afterwards! It’s a pity my camera crashed minutes later and several of my shots were ruined 🙁

Sit-in at city shop

I went into town this morning and came across this group of protestors on Princes Street. I didn’t know it at the time, but they were employees of O’Donovans Butchers, a 105 year old company with a premises on the street. They had all been let go the previous day. The Evening Echo has more on their front page.
The workers were protesting because they were laid off almost a week early with very little compensation despite many years of service in some cases.

Dust on my Sensor! Must Clean It!

There’s dust on the sensor of my 20D. I need to remove it. Here’s a few bits I found.

  • Ken Rockwell has many tips, as usual
  • This review of IMS DSLRClean looked very promising until I found the exact same one here too! Is it a paid-for product placement?
  • Lots and lots of valuable information here.

Gulp! I hate the thought of wiping anything against my camera sensor!

Can any Irish SMEs come to the parliament to prevent SWPAT?

Ciaran O’Riordan asks Irish business to go to Brussels and talk to their MEPs about software patents. We really only have next week to catch them in their offices, so who’s going?
Contact your local TD if you can!
Here’s that Guardian article RMS wrote with a very simple and clear example to show why patents are not the same as copyright, why they are absurd!
Later.. Brian has more.
