WordPress Multiuser MU – Nov 22nd Snapshot
New snapshot of WPMU is now available. It fixes a number of bugs. If you’re running a WPMU site with untrusted users you should really download and install this version!
Go to the download page to find out more, or download either wpmu-2004-11-22.tar.gz or wpmu-2004-11-22.zip and unzip over your existing WPMU install.
(Backup your data first of course!)
Spectra Prints – digital printing in Ireland
Daragh tried Spectra Photo and isn’t impressed by the results. I tried them a year ago and prints came out fine, but then, prices were half of what they are now so it’s probable that it’s not only the price has changed in the intervening period! I still have to try out Digi Print in the UK. Last time I looked at them they were reasonably priced.
Deep Blue
I love the sky in this shot!
Church Bay in the Sun
Basking in the sunlight last weekend it was a beautiful day for a walk!
Leaving Cork Harbour
Cork Harbour serves as a conduit for trade between many parts of Ireland and the rest of the world. It has a thriving chemical industry, oil refinery and other industries from the Munster region. At the mouth of the harbour is Roches Point Lighthouse, and Church Bay, a delightful stony beach, lies directly across from it.
Ships still ply the waters in a never ending trade of goods going back centuries.
Pippins Wilbernest – GIMP plugins and writings
Pippin has lots of good stuff on his site, include a very useful looking colour corrector and white balancer. He has a (poor quality) movie giving a good demo of his plugin and it’s something I’m going to try out later!
The USB Mince Pie.. it's the end of the week!!
It’s a Friday, almost time to go home, so #linux on irc.linux.ie comes alive!
These mince pies were suggested by Valen, and Pron, in response to Microsoft patenting IS NOT is applying for a patent on “IsToo”!
Did you hear that Elton John almost died when he heard the new song by Brian McFadden..
Elton John has slammed Irish star Brian McFadden’s new single Irish Son, claiming he had to stop listening to the track “in case I committed suicide”.
And in other news, everyone left work and had a great weekend!
Oh, what a cute cat and this photo of the Opera House in Sydney is very unusual and pleasing to the eye!
In We Go!
Fancy a swim? Someone in a white car obviously thought they were James Bond! Look what happened when they tried to fish it out of the water!
