Slight redesign efforts…
As is I am the eternal tweaker, I’d like to apologise for the state of the site at the minute. I doing some work so show a number of categories on the front page but having a little trouble. I have it displaying my travel posts in a small area on the bottom left of the main page. I’m just trying to come up with the best way of formatting it so that it looks slightly different from the main posts, so that it neither takes away from them but would eventually draw people to click on them… So not a small task.
I’m also working on the gallery section of the site. I’m looking to use the flickr API to help me with that. But that wont be working for at least another week. After that is complete, on the bottom right of the front page I’m going to display a random picture or maybe a square of maybe 4 thumbnails. When I get to that stage I’ll have to look into what works best.
Im also looking t the menu on the right hand side. I’d like to maybe separate it from the main content. Again I don’t want it to be a distraction but I’d like people to know that it was there 
But maybe they already do? hmmm… I think I might introduce a mootool effect in here too to Liven the menu up but then it might just be adding it for the sake of adding it. We’ll see how it goes.
So overall I think the the white may be changing with a light grey taking up most of it but I’m not really decided yet - I’ll put the two of them together and let the irish webmaster community give me their feelings on the two options.
Anyway - Apologies for the state of the site at the minute and we’ll then get back to our 6 month change intervals…
iPhone release day - Failure by Apple…
Well. My iPhone was purchased this morning. I changed my account from 3 to o2 and sat back ready for the previously mentioned greatness.
Only I couldn’t. Activation time came and so I connect my Phone to my Mac but alas - it doesn’t work! Some error about the iTunes store and my network. So no iPhone for me today. There’s a [...]

Oktoberfest and Munich..
I havn’t been around for a while because of a number of reasons. Number 1 on this list was the trip to Munich last weekend for Oktoberfest. What a trip! 5 days, 9 lads, and acres of beer tents. I could lie and say I was very restrained and tasted the various beers and had [...]
The Great Irish Train Robbery
Contrary to popular belief, this is not something that happened in 1976. It is an ongoing phenomenon that Irish Rail users put up with every single day.
Commuters are a badly treated group of people, especially in the Dublin outer suburbs, because there is no alternative and they know it. Yes, you could drive into Dublin, [...]
