It’s 2.43am and i’m back in my rented gaff  in Dalkey, Dublin, Ireland after my first Friday night out following my first two weeks living in London.  To be honest i’m gagging to get back to the UK asap to get back to what is now becoming a taste of reality after a big dose [...]

Sometimes it’s good to step back and appreciate what you do for a living. When I was younger I used to spend my days playing with my computer, and luckily I managed to find a career doing something that I love.
But then again, so did Bill Gates. Check out this cheesy pic!

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock the last week or so, you’ll have found it very hard to avoid the publishing of the Child Abuse Commission Report, and the public outcry that ensued.  The report merely confirmed what anyone with half a brain already knew - that schools and orphanages run by religious orders [...]

The Fallon brothers don’t surprise me anymore.  They’ve just announced an absolute stormer of a deal with the giant that is eBay, to power eBay.ie’s property search section.  Not only is this a coup for Daft.ie which will firmly leave the likes of MyHome.ie trailing even further behind, it is a great symbol of just [...]

One of the coolest features about Drupal is the ability to run heaps of sites from the same codebase.  However, if you’re a total wacko when it comes to SEO and want to do absolutely everything to help get your site well indexed by Google, it can be difficult to figure out how to get [...]

Sometimes it doesn’t pay dividends trying your best to be responsible.  Last Friday I drove to a friends house for a few late drinks, and being in a very responsible mood decided to leave the car overnight outside on the street, and pay for the next mornings parking in advance (as one can do most [...]

Some time ago I expressed my anger at Screenclick from an affiliates point of view, as they’d changed their site to incorporate Microsoft Silverlight but it was pretty much a requirement to use some controls on the site, and slightly offputting to the user.  Finally, they’ve managed to see the light (pardon the pun!) and [...]

Whilst checking out some news on Breakingnews.ie, I noticed they’ve started using Google Friend Connect to help engage with their site visitors and provide a slightly more interactive experience.  Whilst this is certainly a step in the right direction, I’m just wondering if maybe they should have chosen Facebook Connect as their social platform provider [...]
