Tumblr – Online Blogging Platform

January 25, 2008


Not that I would review any technology, I leave that up the lads who know what they’re talking about but if I find something I like sure why not share it!

I came across an online blogging platform called Tumblr (www.tumblr.com ) and if all you need is something a couple clicks away to get you publishing in a blog format without too much bells and whistles this could be a good starting platform. I really like the minimalist look and feel but it still looks clean and sharp. You can play around with the look of your site and it has it’s own RSS feed.

What more could you want?

If you want to blog or publicise short text posts to the web very quickly I would certainly check out this site.

Sneaky Cabbie had Midget in the Boot!

January 23, 2008


Where as Irish folk are well used to being ripped off by the taxi man (Sorry Roy) but this story really does take the mick and biscuit!

Lei, a young woman from Shanghai, walked out of the airport and hired a taxi to her downtown residence.

About halfway home, the driver received an “urgent call” and told Lei that he would have to drop her off and turn back. He waived her fee, unloaded her luggage and helped her get another taxi.

When she returned home, Lei discovered that her notebook computer had been removed from her luggage and called police.

After a month-long investigation, police determined that the driver had hid somebody in the trunk specifically to steal luggage. Both the driver and the “trunk man” were arrested.

Although i would’ve love to have seen the photo line up photo’s ala The Usual Suspects!

Defence Forces site update

January 23, 2008


I was surprised and glad to see the new look military.ie website today, a buddy of mine who had helped on some of the look had pointed me over. I have to say i hadn’t check it in a long time but i see now they have a good use of Google Maps in locating the Reserve Units. Quite clever!

It’s always nice to see when the MOD utilise the Reserve Defence Forces and also move along with the times!

Get Dublin on the Monopoly Board!

January 23, 2008

The folks behind the institution that is Monopoly are launching a worldwide board with 22 of the major cities across the globe all competing for a spot on the new board!

At the time of writing this Dublin was currently ranked #6 on the leaderboard with 1.9% of the vote!

Dublin is the only Irish location to appear on the list and it stands alongside other major cities like New York, London and Tokyo.

Displaying photos of Trinity College, the Ha’penny bridge and the Spire of Dublin, the Monopoly website cites Dublin’s ‘world-famous’ literary history and ‘carnival style’ St Patrick’s Day Festival.

Marie Antoinette Action Figure

January 21, 2008

Product Description
Marie Antoinette’s reign as the Queen of France was clouded in controversy. Her extravagant lifestyle led many to believe that she was not worthy of the throne and eventually she became widely despised as the epitome of incompetence and frivolity within the French royalty. During the French Revolution, Marie was stripped of her crown, imprisoned and beheaded by guillotine in front of a cheering crowd. This 5-1/2″ (14 cm) tall, hard vinyl figure features amazing “Ejector Head Action,” and comes with a removable plastic wig and dress.

What better way to learn a bit of culture and history than by an obscure action figure. It steps away from the time old tradition Matell favourites of Action Man and Barbie i suppose! Also for $8.99, personally i think everyone should have one!!
My favourites about this is the “ejector head”, like they couldn’t just have made it removable…add some spurting blood and i’d buy one, i really would..

Duurrrrtyyyy words!

January 21, 2008



Cacocallia (KAK-uh-KAL-shee-uh) – The paradoxical state of being ugly but at the same time sexually desireable.

Ever wanted to through a good tongue twister into conversation but were lacking in suitability and syllables? Fear not, this pretty list has everything you should ever need, although it does dwell on the sexual content a bit but there are some gems in there too! One i suffer from…

Witzelsucht (VITS-ul-suukt) – A feeble attempt at humor.

Wubi – Linux without the hassle

January 21, 2008


Wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users that will bring you into the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other application. If you heard about Linux and Ubuntu, if you wanted to try them but you were afraid, this is for you.

This looks interesting and i might give it a whirl if i get the chance! All in a 9.8 meg install file…can’t be bad can it?
Limited time online and lack of a decent riamhaire are the only things holding me back although it does seem to get some decent tips of the hat online!
