Mike Johnston is looking forward to better weather and suggests ways for photographers to take better photos. Nice, easy to read article and more to do with social engineering than any techincal aspect of picture taking.

Procmail Sanitizer 1.141 available
The Procmail Sanitizer has been updated and now scans inside zip files. I just tried it with a copy of MyDoom and it quarantined it on the server.
Later, After installed Fedora Core 1 on a new server I discovered that Metamail doesn’t ship with FC1. Bad, bad, it’s required for checking the zip files.
It’s available on ATrpms according to the mega merge site but for some reason I can’t reach their site from here, but I can if I avoid Esat’s network. Strange.
We bought the Canon A70!
My dad was looking at buying a Canon A70 and I eventually settled on 7 Day Shop in the UK as they’ve the best prices. When I bought from them in the past I received my goods promptly and without a problem.
‘Course, I was sorely tempted to splash out on a 256MB USB keyring, and some more filters for my camera, and a new flash, and.. maybe after I’ve moved into the new house!
Later.. I don’t recommend 7dayshop any more. Read my 7dayshop review and please avoid them!
Landing a 747
Well, you never know when this might be useful!
5 years ago..
Dermot Morgan died 5 years ago today. I was a huge fan of Scrap Saturday on Radio 1 all those years ago, and I was given the Scrap Saturday CD collection for my birthday in 2002, must have a listen to it again..
Does God Exist?
It’s one of the oldest questions facing man. Does God Exist?
This article uses a mathematical proof to answer that question. The proof uses relational logic, and it makes sense, sort of, but it reminds me of some of the mathematical problems I faced in college. It seemed to me at the time that the solution to certain problems depending more on contrived manipulation of the figures than logic. The problem would suddenly go from being a mass of numbers on a white-board to a neatly stated answer on the next line. *shrug*
Heh. Plenty of disenting comments after the article, food for thought!
What's he saying?
Does anyone understand the language used in this blog entry about b2++?
Panoramic Images with the GIMP
I read about Pandora, a GIMP plugin to aid in the creation of panoramic photos. I’ll hopefully get to use it tonight on some photos I took last night. The author suggests chapter 7.5 of Grokking the GIMP for more info on panoramic photos.
Around Cork..
Bush may not get a Cead Mile Failte when he visits Ireland! The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has asked that people not protest but that’s just pouring more fuel on the fire of discontent.
Don’t we live in a democracy?
(As an aside, note the maker of the rubbish bin this poster is stuck to? Quite a coincidence that a socialist poster should appear directly below his name!)
Later, it looks like Dublin City Council is refusing permission for groups to put up those posters. Anti-war bodies are calling it censorship. The Council says it’s a litter problem.

As I posted before, the girl holding this sign was reading a book. I like this “found” picture – she’s engrossed in her book and oblivious to the crowds passing by!

Yahoo or Google?
Dave, I must read your blog more often!
Your post about Yahoo gave me pause for thought. I tried a search for xeer c64
on Yahoo and Google and I knew they should return links to my old homepage on Geocities. Both did, but I couldn’t discern any bias on Yahoo from this simple search. If there is one, I’m going to update my old site with new links straight away!
That Tab Browser Extension is nice. Well worth installing!
