• Loosing Touch

    by  • Wed 23rd May, 2007

    Has social networking sites made it easier or harder to loose touch with people?
    We have all read how MySpace and Bebo bring people together, its the new “watering hole” of the digital era where it allows groups of people to communicate quickly with their peers, but has it introduced a new affect, where its in [...]

    Your Nemesis…

    by  • Wed 9th May, 2007

    Okay, strange post of sorts coming up.
    Every so often I have came across a computer (or in this case a server) which through no reason decides that it has to blue-screen at random, the wonderful BSOD.
    We have a nice 12 server Citrix Farm, but 2 of these servers are based in our off-site disaster recovery [...]

    I really should title my posts…

    by  • Mon 7th May, 2007

    Last month I decided enough was enough, I threw the head up and asked Eclipse Internet for a MAC code. 5 Days later I gave Zen a call and transferred my service across. Why you might ask?

    Eclipse throttles p2p traffic, and I suspect nearly every other bit of traffic on their “oversubscribed” network, [...]

    Aah Bollocks.
    That was my first thought on Friday 6th April, when I walked into work to discover our major business system being out of action with a dodgy error, a quick phone call later to the “support people” and…
    it was still fubar’ed
    Its now the 14th April, its 9:33am and I’m in work doing [...]

    Also its Mothering Sunday tomorrow (and St Patricks day today) so the shops in full swing.. last estimate was 250+ [...]

    Famous coffee

    by  • Thu 15th Mar, 2007

    Okay, so today is definately a strange day.  I decided to go grab myself a bottle of lemonade from the nearest shop (no vending machines in my workplace ) and I spotted a couple of grey vans with G&H on them.
    Now if you live in Northern Ireland, particularly Belfast you immediately associate G&H [...]

    The pain…

    by  • Wed 14th Mar, 2007

    I would say upgrading WordPress is easy…
    Except this time something broke god knows where the problem was buried, or if the problem was due to all the previous upgrades and tweaks that was ran (Oh, that and the fact that it was dragged across from my previous hosting provider) I started getting MySQL [...]

    Strange places…

    Well, not really.. but close enough!

    Well, Jaymes would be here if he wasnt with his pregnant [...]

    Zoot, Zoot

    by  • Tue 16th Jan, 2007

    So, random title or what?
    Yesterday morning Damien was poking around AintItCoolNews when he spotted something about a Ghostbusters Game.
    Bit of poking about later spots it popping up on Kotaku and Destructoid but they keep talking about it being a possible fake, destructoid being closer to the mark realising that its from a company called ZootFly
    Just so [...]
