Pony Magic

This is cool, surprised to only hear about _why recently because of his disappearance (maybe 'cos I'm not a Ruby person, so never came across it). So many theories on why he's gone.

When tweets make me happy...

I'm a big fan of JoCo, and I follow him on Twitter (so no surprise there). And see his funny tweets just now brought a smile to my face...

I know that's a misuse of "begging the question," I know it's "tack." From now on I will follow each joke tweet with an explanatory tweet. Link...

Joke: Poor people should sell their babies to rich people who would then eat them, that would solve a lot of problems! Link...

Explanation: I do not really think people should eat babies! I was using satire! I just hate poor people! Link...

Cafes + wifi = fail?

Seems like cafes in NY are turning away from providing free wi-fi as it's bad for business. I normally give out that cafes in Ireland don't provide free-wifi, or in some cases, wi-fi at all. I found it really useful to access it while I was studying in DCU, when I use my laptop in the canteen. Also the times when I did not have internet access and before we got ourselves a 3G dongle, I would be at Coffee Society checking on mail. It's pricey wi-fi, but at the end of the day, it was nice to surf, have a cup of tea and cakey.
