I’ve posted some recently taken photos, it is kinda weird to find kangaroos and cheetahs in Ireland – in a fairly open park. You can be just wandering around and bump into a family of wallabes or kangaroos. Quite nice. The park is called Fota Wildlife Park, it is near Cobh, Co. Cork.

This site by Doc Searls and David Weinberger has made massive inroads into the world of blogs. In a thoughtful essay they both mark out the good and bad of the Internet. Definately worth a look. The Internet isn’t complicated The Internet isn’t a thing. It’s an agreement. The Internet is stupid. Adding value to…

Another victory and third for Ireland in the Six Nations. No tries were scored but Ireland showed great resolve in its defence, line outs and scrums. A nail-biting match. Final score, Ireland 15, France 12. All penalties, one drop goal by Geordan Murphy in the first minute.

I somehow made it into the top 10 blogs on Eatonweb – don’t ask me how! Maybe I will go to number 1? Can a drunk Irishman do it? Ahh perhaps the Guinness gives me strength. Of course we have the crucial Six Nations game of Ireland versus Italy today. The Italians are looking fast…

I have submitted a number of stories to Slashdot over the last number of days. My latest one has been accepted, and I am expecting another one to appear on the frontpage shortly. You can normally read the stories on this blog, first! 🙂 But my thanks to /. readers for their comments – I…
