Ah it's grand.
Sure.

Have to say that it looks neat and seeing what people have done with it is impressive…. Looks neat though, just need to have a poke at what xmlrpc support there is so I.

Was reading BoingBoingGoing to show my ignorance here, but I have to ask; can someone explain to me how blogjects are 3D?

I’m not even going to try and pretend it’s not because it’s shiny and new…. However, I’m keen to pick up Ruby on Rails, so I’m planning to force myself into doing it by necessity.

Seeing as you were giving out about me not posting here for ages, I thought I’d follow your lead and go with the obligatory cat pic

Not a great photo or illustration .. but you might find it interesting anyway. Was looking out the office window one day and spotted something moving on the side of one of the towers opposite. Looked closer and it was a man hanging out one window cleaning the windows!

I’ve been following the election results as much as I can. RTÉ did a good job of providing content via their website. The flash on their page gave a nice view of party progress and is a great example of how to use Flash properly. They had their usual radio streams and added TV news programs for the election. Although I couldn’t get connected earlier last night I was able to get the TV stream later on and this morning.

Went to dinner with my housemate at this bistro last night after we had their takeaway fish and chips a couple of weeks ago. It was packed and so we had a few minutes to look around the retail store before being seated. I hadn’t read any of the other reviews prior to our visit so we were just basing our decision to eat there on the tasty takeaway we’d had. Anyway, service was quick and attentive while we were there. We got our water and a Moosehead beer, for me, quickly. Choices were simple enough for us; calamari was essential and we also went with the softshell crab for starters. Mains were the House Fish and Chips (crumbed rather than the other choice of batter) with the Hot Smoked Mackerel Linguini for me. The photos I took with my phone don’t really do justice to the dishes but me give an idea of the portions (something that has been criticised in blogs I read this morning).

Went for lunch with Stephan at the Pump Room the last weekend of April and we were talking about phones and cameras so Stephan took this shot of me. The glass, very much to the fore, certainly seems to improve my photogenity!

Site has been down for quite awhile – partially laziness here as I decided to try and rebuild the server with more purpose than previously. This involved changing from Xen to VMware (Server) and doing things like splitting out the database used by both the mail server and the web server to a separate host. I’ll try to go into the details at a later point, for now I’m just happy to be up and running again :)

I’m getting back into my little OSS project to sync iCal with Scalix calendars and have reached a point where I need to get something of the UI together so I can proceed (possibly not the ideal way to approach a project but this is my first personal application i.e. nothing to do with work). Found two articles, written by Martin Reddington, on MacDeveCenter today that should help things along the way:
