Good day for a BBQ
Yup, hopping on the train off to my BF's dad's place for a spot of BBQ'ing. Although, there are some folks from a team on our floor BBQ'ing outside, the smell of rawly cooked food meanders through out our aircon system, I just can't wait... yup all the marinating I was doing last night, and it should be all set for a good grilling!

3 cheers to ComReg
And boo...hiss... to Eircom! ElectricNews.net:News:ComReg slashes LLU charges
One day... I say one day.... we will have cheap access to go online! One can only hope...
And further on our infrastructure for internet access, it's 2 years behind according to Forfas report (article from Electric news). We don't need a report to tell us that!

I don't have to go down to any caves now...
...all they have to do is take panoramic shots and I can see it for myself without getting mucky and cold in the deep dark caves like The tour through Nova Krizna Jama is 26 panoramas from Bostjan Burgers site And here is another cave shot.
Pretty useful for finding out DART times
It's pretty good, but this is only if the DART sticks to its schedule! DartTimes.com
Meow TV
I wonder if they would broadcast this here? CNN.com - 'Meow TV' to premiere this month - May. 21, 2003
In-flight Broadband

See what this person did for the Nintendo Comp
Definately alot of effort put into this entry which became a runner-up for Nintendo Link's online competition - Link's roleplaying game.
My personal fav is this one - Link playing with GC in the room. All CG.
Rumble in the park
The daily rumblings at work can be thought of as a foot massage. It happens about 3 times a day now. It's all this tunnel drilling for the Dublin Port Tunnel, and a couple of heavy machinery rolling back and forth along the waterfront for the new water sports clubhouse (I think). I can imagine when I look out the window, we would be floating out towards the Irish sea on the bed of rubbish we are on (literally we are, East Point Business Park was built on an ex-dump!).

Ster Century phone booking system
I cannot stop laughing. It's the first automated phone booking system I encountered for a cinema (Usually I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for someone to pick up the phone). Anyhow, listening to the different segments of the different options spoken by at least 2 different people was very funny. Especially when I got to the end, it went through the whole sequence of what I booked "You have booked...(chg of voice)...Matrix Reloaded...(cov)...rated 15pg...(cov)..." etc... Even the 8 Euro and 8 cents were different voices. I know, I am not use to this, but I could not stop laughing to key in my credit card number. Someone should phone up Ster century if you are going there to watch a movie sometime...it's the most gas thing I have heard so far.

Machine generated designs for webpages
See it to believe it (altho I have yet to find one I llike, it's quick) - StrangeBanana: Computer-generated webpage design
It's official, Ireland's the most expensive in Europe!
McCreevy blamed as we top the rip-off list from the Indo. (Need to register - but it's free)
Check out Consumer Pricing Report for 2003 from Forfas, the State advisory board. (Even we are more expensive than Finland!)

My mate's iBook's ongoing problems
My..my.. Oish's iBooks is broken again. You would think they would get it right first time. Hope it will be alright when he gets it back though... Here's his blog about it (although it's a diary in a blog entry which is not how blogs work!)

Coincidently, just back from lunch and talking to collegues about macs (potential buyer..danger..danger, Will Robinson!) and I saw this article called The Mac that Lego built. (BBC news)

It's one of those days I feel..
..that I maybe addicted to coffee! Take yesterday morning for example, we (me and my BF) just got off the escalator at the DART station and the guy who works at the little coffee shop on the platform saw us and did a 180 degree turn around and by then I realised that he was going to re-open the shop so we can get our regular large latte!
And most mornings now, we do not even have to order the coffee, he just prepares it for us when he sees us. :D
Same with the coffee shop at the business park I work in, one of the guys working there knows what we usually order...
Considering 2 years ago, I do't even drink the stuff. Ho-hum...

Ireland's competitiveness dropping
Figures, hope the Irish government cops on a bit on problems associated with an expensive Ireland, and Eircom's hold of wrath on availability of better internet support and availability. Ireland drops in world competitiveness from electricnews.net talks about the drop in ranks for Ireland due to poor infrastructure and "Ireland's worst marks were for the speed, cost and availability of Internet access, where it ranked dead last of all 29 countries".

Smart cards in Dub - Summer 2004
Ooh-ooh... smart cards are coming to Dub. Hope they make the deadline, although I know many people will have cynical views about the gov and deadlines for projects that will enhance our shoddy public transport ;P. Here is the article - Commuter smartcards to be launched in Dublin next summer from Electric News.

A little insight on the trio's view of the whole Iraqi war.
M$ potty mad?!?
Saw this in electricnews.ie - Microsoft builds Web-connected toilet . You would think that this is a joke right? Well, considring the ickiness of having to think of people in the loo and browsing is quite disturbing. You would have thought that people want to do their biz and get out quick.

The look on the kitties faces!
Got this from a friend one day last week... - http://www.petoffice.co.jp/catprin/mainichi/. It's a Japanese site (obviously), but the looks on the kitties are priceless! ;P
Caffeinated Soap
Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap... Why would I want caffeine in soap? And wash it away instead of intaking caffeine! WHERE'S MY COFFEE!!!
I'm in a cooking mood today
... and as I was checking out weblogs, I can across this site - Culinary Adventures with The Radical Chef. Lots of nice recipes. Oisin would be interested in this.
Cut, grind to make your pc...
...but will it be as simple as a cardboard PC? My friend said that it's "perverted" and also wonder if it will be quiet. I am wondering how fast this will be engulfed in flames! ;P But interesting anyway...
