Gardaí prevent summons on Taoiseach

First I laughed at this, but then I though, “wtf! Why right do the police have obstructing a solicitor doing his job? Even if it is to issues a court summons to the prime minister of Ireland! This story has the scoop. (Thanks to Sharrow on IRC for the link)

[Solicitor John Devane] said he intended calling for a bench warrant for the arrest of both Mr Ahern and Mr Smith if they failed to come to the court on 12 June.

Inflation leaves Irish prices highest in eurozone

There was much rejoicing on IRC this morning as it was announced that Irelad is the most expensive country in Europe to live! As Pronsias stated,

We did it… “I’d like to thank the Acadamy, the director, Mr. McCreevy, Mr. Ahern, the Government, and the people of Ireland, without whom this would never have been possible !”

b2++ documentation

I like Wikis. I use TWiki at work and it’s excellent. I think I need a wiki to document everything I’m doing in b2++, and I need it fast. Chances are I won’t use TWiki however, so I’m open to suggestions. If you’ve a favourite Wiki, then feel free to leave a comment. Applications that are written in PHP and use MySQL will get preference over others. Smarty support would be a bonus too. Tiki seems to fit the bill perfectly, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
Things to document:

  1. Import the b2 readme, and make a “tag/plugin” section for blog owners.
  2. How the weblog works, “always on” plugins, Smarty plugins, the flow of a weblog request.
  3. To do list.
  4. Bug tracker (should probably be seperate)
  5. Feature requests.
  6. And more..

Armalyte

Just found this page while searching for “The Great Giana Sisters”. It brought me back several years! Armalyte was an amazing game, but it wasn’t the only game by Cyberdyne Systems on the C64 AFAIR. I could almost swear I played a platformer that was released on a Zzap64! cover, did they?
Woo! Pics, demo downloads and information about Armalyte 2 and a link to download a “competition” version with built in trainer.. I would have loved to have seen this 10 years ago..
