Time to bin the well-known relational DBMS model for databases says expert.
Love it. A bus driver is blaming playing the Wii for ‘crippling’ him. Claiming a month of sick leave too.
Ooo - flag burning is no longer a criminal offense in Norway, it appears. Scandinavians are awfully fair-minded
Google Tech Talk with sexpert Violet Blue on how ‘Abstinence Does Not Make the Heart Grow Fonder’
What would you think if you were being publicly castigated on the web by vitriolic anonymous posters? Would you take it with good grace and ignore the scratchings of the loonies? I came across JuicyCampus over the weekend. It’s a site aimed at college students, enabling them to post comments about their class mates in an anonymous way. It’s growing at a massive rate in campuses stateside.
Some of the comment on the site are sick and deplorable. One of the very interesting sub-sites to visit is the Air Force hub. To a legal novice like me this stinks to high heaven.
They’re back.
Kids in America, get your doodle on Google. Can’t we do something similar here? Perhaps a rude Sandy Kelly doodle for Twenty or something with Ryan in it for Damien.
The Marry-Me iPod Touch, especially for ladies proposing this leap year.
Worldwide pasta shortage on the way?
Suzy watched the boring old IFTA’s like me and spotted yet another Gibson gaff.
Nice NYT piece on charisma and US presidents. Interesting, as we watch Election 08 heat up.
Au Revoir Simone with ‘Dark Halls’. They sound like the Go-Gos with happy keyboards to me.
One of the best parts of interacting in online communities is the way that people produce content and share it. Creative commons licensing of all sorts of digital media really does open doors to kicking off the idea juices of users.
I’ve changed my blog theme thanks to the sharing spirit of the Wordpress theme producers. Yes, I’ve added pieces here and there, but without the sharing process I’d probably still be tearing a little hair out.
So, why not have your designs with the community. Share your snaps on Flickr, your handcrafted Wordpress themes and anything else you’d like to produce. You’re enriching the community. And many more people will see your work.
Full reviews coming of ‘Battle in Seattle’ and ‘There Will Be Blood’ on the way… Such different movies. Completely different.
For the day that’s in it, Turtlehead have some very cool limited edition Valentine’s inspired t-shirts designed in conjunction with the Polyphonic Spree. Very cool. And very limited edition.
Only 500 of each shirt is being sold. Get there fast and snag one. Via Matt.
So, I’m still restoring the blog.. And in the stead of fresh meat for you to chew, how about I distract you and point in direction of my favourite posts. You can give ‘em a read. Old readers - you’ll know them already, you can comment and show where you differ on the quality bar. New readers - see what you think.
Nothing to see here. Really. Still in the wars.. 
Roll on the weekend.
Due to unprecedented demand for seats at the table on March 2nd, Tom Raftery has stepped in to take ownership of this event. It seems everyone going to the BlogTalk conference wants to attend the Blogger dinner. It made sense to change owner of the organisation at this stage. Great for bloggers, great for Cork.
Sorry about the musical chairs, folks. I’ve passed on the list of attendees to Tom. Get in contact with him.
Sign up at the here at the wiki for the Cork Bloggers Dinner.
Wordpress Export is a breezy affair. Just press this and whack bam, we’ll generate an XML file containing everything - posts, comments and categories….. What it doesn’t warn you is that the Import has an upper limit of 2MB files. Fine if your blog can fit on the side of a postage stamp. It means editing the file and restoring piece by piece, so this tango will continue on a bit.
Also, I’m going to play with the theme. Any nice ones about? I have my favourites, but maybe your suggestions could knock them out of the water.
