On Workspot

Chris Gulker on Workspot – Linux anywhere!

Compare $10 for Workspot to, say, the $8.25 .mac costs: both give you an email account, but .mac’s is via a clunky (read: slow) Webmail interface, where Workspot gives you the full Ximian Evolution email application (with address book that autotypes, calendar, etc. etc.) – it’s what you wished Outlook was.

Sounds interesting, if I had a fast internet connection and wanted to learn about Linux I’d try this. It could be very useful if I was travelling and wanted a familiar desktop to work off too.
I’d probably use a Yahoo account and whatever was available though 😉

RTÉ News: Ahern denies points system disarray

Of course there’s no problem! I did a lot of driving at the weekend, up to Dungarvan, to Clonmel and then back to Cork. I was passed several times by cars doing 70-80mph. Twice those cars were BMWs, the other time it was something similar to a Punto, driven by a boy racer who passed me just after I overtook another car, on a narrow road outside Cahir!
It is true that 50 people are alive today who would be dead if the Penalty Points weren’t introduced, but the Gardai need something better than “Pulse” to deal with the paperwork. Otherwise they’ll be ignored.
