Badass sentences I’d love to have appear in my obituary but am realistic enough to realize never will #347 via Tripping Along The Ledge,
From the obituary for Israeli spy chief David Kimche which appeared in the Sunday Times today…
He became known as the “man with the suitcase”, appearing in various African states shortly before dramatic coups and disappearing again quickly...

Stupid NCT Website via John Ó'Ríordáns Blog, I’m trying to book my NCT online and the stupid website doesn’t work. It says there are no free days in any centre in Ireland for the next 10 years. Why have online booking if it doesn’t work? If it was a private company it’d be out of business. Stuppid inept public...

St. Patrick’s Day in Chinatown via Tripping Along The Ledge,
I’ve been waiting all year to post this. One of my favourite ever bits from Late Night With Conan O’Brien. I promise, this is my last Conan-related clip for at least six months. Oh go on then sure, I suppose, one more won’t......

Training Saturday Morning via John Ó'Ríordáns Blog,
I was at MMA training this morning at 12. I’d say it was my first time training on a Saturday since I was 16. Great craic though.
I was reading this great article explaining why people enjoy fighting so much. Maybe that’s why I don’t mind making the effort....

When People Are Doing It Better Than You… via Panda's Blog,
The thing that they are doing better is not what you might think (dirty minds!) but rather living life. This to me, is seen by people planning trips away to far-flung places, working in a different country for the summer, going to oxygen, going out every other night, getting married, having kids and everything in between
I seem to hate planning down the line but would rather prefer to know what is happening in the next month or two not what I will be doing when it comes to 2011. I do have an idea what I would like to do but it seems that whatever it might be never comes true. So whatever I would like to do this summer more than likely won’t come true but is rather a fantasy of how a summer I would like.
I however, would like to add that I will try to break out of this mould by...

Spectrophilia via Maxi Cane,
Ever heard of it?
I’ll bet one of you dirty fuckers has.
Spectrophilia is the fetish you’ll have if you desire to have sex with a ghost. Funnily enough I can’t seem to find any examples of ghost porn on the internet, and if there’s one thing I’m good at it’s finding porn.
I wonder if it stops at ghosts, or if it goes further onto all things supernatural.
Fancy gobbling a gobblin?
Fucking a Faery?
Ploughing a Pixie? If it was like the picture of Pixie Lott I saw in hot pants the other day, then fuck yeah.
How about giving a Leprechaun a Lumpkin?
It just goes to show that people will get off to anything. Which is why I never get discouraged when I sit in front of my webcam pants-less and tugging away when trawling for net sluts. Sooner or later...

Gramophonedzie - Why Don’ t You via The Hoff - Seamus Whelehan,
For almost 15 years Marko Milicevic (Gramophonedzie) has been working as a Dj, 30 years old, Belgrade native, started his career as a teenager. In the year 2000 Marko was honoured to be chosen by RedBull Music Academy in Ireland as their student and participant and that was one of the main steps for his future work as a producer.

The Next YouTube Update – New Video Page via Leateds.com, In a short while YouTube will be updating the video section of their website. At first when I saw it I was a bit taken back, it is very simple and a lot less cluttered than it is currently. YouTube is now full of ajax!
The image above has the old version on the left and the new version on the right. The main differences are that the video is much more prominent, the video also now has a grey background behind it which makes you focus more on the video.
A big notable difference with this new update is that the old 5 star rating system is now gone, instead it has been replaced with two thumbs, thumbs up for “I like this”, thumbs down for “I dislike this”. Originally when you thumbed up a video it would automatically add it to your favourites, I and most other...

Idle minds via Twenty Major - Still smoking in Dublin bars,
“I wonder”, said Stinking Pete, “if doing a Japanese accent when talking to a black person is racist”.
“Don’t be stupid”, replied Dirty Dave. “It can’t be racist because it’s not about black people. You can only be racist about them. That’s the way I learned it anyway”.
“You idiot. Racism isn’t just against black people. It’s against anyone involved in another race that isn’t white. So me trying to sound like Junichi Kishawaki is probably racist”.
“But black people have seemed to capture the market in the whole racism thing, haven’t they?”
“They have, I suppose”.
“When you think about it that’s a bit racist of them”.
“I don’t...

Dual monitors flash hack via Leateds.com,
Image via Wikipedia
A problem with having dual monitors is when you try to watch a flash video in full screen on one monitor and then try to work away on the other monitor. As soon as you click on the second monitor the full screen video will close!
I was looking around the lifehacker website the other day and came across this article, there is a small program that you run that will make your flash video’s stay in full screen when you are working away on another monitor.
If you want to download this flash hack then go here and follow the download instructions.

In the place that you live via Twenty Major - Still smoking in Dublin bars,
I’m not the kind of person who would be on Sting’s side in anything. Even during his Simpson’s appearance I wanted the little boy who was down the well – who wasn’t down the well at all until Bart fell down the well – to die before Sting got there.
However, in one thing he is right and that is his insistence that people don’t stand too close to him. Today I was talking to somebody who stood way too close to me. And when I backed up a bit he forwarded down (I assume that’s the opposite).
It is horribly uncomfortable. Worse than shaking somebody’s hand to discover their palms are sweatier than prop forward’s gooch at the end of a game. You don’t want to wipe their sweaty hand slurm on your clothes, nor do you want to leave...

Seachtain na Gaeilge via Panda's Blog, Le sé seachtain na Gaeilge agus leath bhealach tríd leis dar críoch an 17 Márta, chinn mé a dhéanamh an post seo i nGaeilge. Le fírinne a d’fhéadfadh a bheith go ndearna mé an leibhéal ngnáthnós Gaeilge roinnt nathanna mícheart.
Cad a chiallaíonn sé dom a bheith as Gaeilge? Is ea, is é sin an cheist mbeidh mé iarracht a fhreagairt.
Bheith Éireannach dom ciallaíonn tú aird ar a lán níos mó thar lear le daoine ag insint scéalta agat maidir leis an gcaoi a n-ghaolta nó teaghlach Éireannach freisin. Cé go bhfuil sé go hiontach le scéalta anseo Níl mé suim i gcaoi a bhfuil do ghaol Gaeilge.
Bheith ciallaíonn Éireannach a chur ar bun agat le rain le dea-11 mhí den bhliain agus a bheith ullamh d’aon seans de nuair a chéim tú lasmuigh den...

More Backup Storage Added Without Downtime via C Infinity,
One of the great things I like about our backup infrastructure is how we can add extra storage without the need of shutting down the service. It can be scaled to what we need and when we need it without interrupting any of our customer’s backups.
I’ve recently dealt with the daunting task (or so I first thought) of adding a lot of extra storage space for our backup service, a mission critical service that our customers heavily rely on for their disaster recovery. Fortunately it wasn’t a case of shutting down the servers, slapping in a few hard drives into our SAN and starting the server’s again, leaving a risk of customers experiencing downtime with their data backups.
Thankfully, because we replicate backups across 3 different storage systems we have the ability to bring down one...

Minister for Sumo via Twenty Major - Still smoking in Dublin bars,
I don’t really have anything to say about Mary Harney. I think we’re all well aware of her inherent and consistent crapness as the health minister. I just liked the title.
She’s off swanning around New Zealand at the moment, you know. With her husband and various flunkies. This is not any kind of surprise either.
The annual Paddy’s day junkets have begun. There’ll be no first class travel though. No, sir. Tighten our belts time. Just business class. And no hotel suites. No way. We have to count our pennies. Just normal rooms in 5-star hotels. And no limos. Just top of the range hire cars that will be driven by somebody else.
I think it says a lot about our celebrations than politicians can’t wait to get the fuck out of here rather than stay home and...
