Something Odd!

Had to record these links from the 1911 encyclopedia

Ireland.

Cork City, where I live.

I was going to post something else, but I went searching for my old xoom.com page on the Internet Archive. See the entry for 10 Jan 1999 here..

Bitches go here!

Hey Owen! Welcome to the party!

Antivirus experts have intercepted what appears to be the biggest email virus of the year so far. It’s appeared in 36 countries already since this morning apparently.

A few days ago, it became known that a shelf company only worth about £4 won a multi-million Euro contract to build Stadium Ireland. Recently on the ILUG, someone opinioned that you’d need a company to get a leased line off Eircom, they’re not interested in private individuals, Joe suggested something else. Yout have to laugh, otherwise you might cry.. *sigh*

Connectivity in Iceland – woo… I use a 56Kbps modem, what? I can get Eircom’s “hi-speed” line? Oh, that’s only ISDN and is charged by the second! Ireland, not the E-commerce hub of Europe.

Vodafone txted me this morning – half-price txts and international calls from Friday to Monday to celebrate St. Patricks Day! woo 🙂

When I first load the blogger edit interface in Netscape the stats on eth0 on my work machine goes mad. Outgoing bandwidth maxxes out at our leased line limit and incoming is about half that. Strange.

Got a GBA? Blue Roses – I just wish my hands didn’t get so sore when playing games.

I saw a demo of Halo on the XBox – it looks really nice, but nothing I hadn’t seen in Giants on my PC several months ago.

Boxes and Arrows – Usability site.

I’m just back from the dentist. 3 fillings. Part of my mouth is numb..

In better news, I plugged in my firewire card last night and hooked up my miniDV camera. I didn’t know how it would record data off a tape on the camera but in fact, you can control the playback functions of the camera from the computer! I recorded Roisin’s christening and now I’m going to add some transitions and edit it a bit in the supplied software (MGI something or other).

Web surfing gives you goldfish brains – I didn’t read the whole article, I wandered elsewhere.. *grin*
