Pretty, but will it be usable?

Who is the fairest DT of them all? I dunno, 3d dt is not what you say are usable. I sort of got motion sickness just watching the dt background move slightly (as it was picture of space). I don't think I would like 3d dts...

All for Eu Day of Welcomes. But one annoying thing, on May 1st and 2nd, Parkgate Street will be closed, and we have no access to our appartment! No times mentioned, just those 2 days! Just great, no mention online, just the stupid piece of print out on the notice board!

And you would think Ireland hates cyclists!

Well, seems like Brighton (England), do not take cyclists safety seriously much more so!

Why did you not respond to my mail?!?

Every frantic manager would be asking. Not sure about folks out there in other companies, but emails can be very time consuming. What to ignore, did I miss out any emails that are really important... or the atitude of "if it's really important they will try and find you, ring you or mail you 50 million times!". heh.. been there, still doing that, unfortunately. Given the way our email obsessive culture of CC'ing god knows every alias out there, and I'm ended up being mailed 2 or more times whenever a mail is replied to... Argh.. Anyhoo, what started off my rant - IrishEyes's blog "Why people ignore mail". Heh, I am foolish enough to look at most of my mail.. my BF on the other hand, ignores mails sent to aliases. Many learnt that if they need him, mail him.. or better yet, just pick up the damn phone! ;)

You know...

...this no smoking ban in Ireland is great. I can wear the same clothes after a night at the pub (or a restaurant)! But one thing I noticed while I was at Mulligan's off Townsend St. (here in Dublin), and man, many came to the same conclusion, sense of smell in pubs have heighted (even for a non-smoker like me). BUT, always with the buts... BUT, you can also smell more in this new unfounded territory, that is the non-smoking realms of the pubs, obnoxious gases.... yes, I mean farts! We think that apart from the smoker's smoke hiding the smell, my friends and I think that lighting up a cigeretter burns the methane, so we don't notice as much. But in Mulligan's it's even more so. For all those who are not in the know, Mulligan's is one of the best place for a nice pint of Guinness. Now, imagine.. a pub full of Guinness punters! *pew* Exactly! Coupled with iffy toilet fresheners from the nearby johns/bogs/jacks/loos.
But nonetheless, many of us agree (smokers and non-smokers), it's all good. ;)
I find it amusing taunting my buddies who smoke everytime their urge comes around, and goes out for a puff, and comes back with a waft of smoke.
Another thing I noticed, the day of the smoking ban that came in, I was at Tara St. DART station, and I saw many empty nicotine chewing gum packets strewn all around the platform. And an announcement remind daily commuters that there is no smoking at train stations or on trains. Heh, better be careful wile waiting for the trains then, given Irish rail and DART's track record for allways being on time... *wink*

Dublin Airport : self check-in

ElectricNews.net:News:In the papers 7 April highlights that Aer Lingus now allow passengers to check-in themselves at Dublin airport. This is a life-saver if you are in a hurry. Heathrow has this in Terminal 4 and is very handy indeed. It's only for people with hand luggage at the momnt, but will allow folks to check bags in themselves at some point. It's a start in the right direction.
