@TheMenace Watching same, super come back by London Irish, hope they can steal it :) in reply to TheMenace #
@TheMenace So close! Great from Irish to steal 2 bonus points from nothing. Great defense from Leicester in most of the 2nd half in reply to TheMenace #
@anthonymcg That was no way a peno. Ronaldo was already diving after the first defender didn’t touch him before the 2nd guy got near. in reply to anthonymcg #
@kenmcguire @anthonymcg Boy who cries wolf… no sympathy for him (mind you I’m looking at this from a strong rugby slant) </bias> #
@patrickphelan nil-all, spurs doing quite well, could go either way or to pens (personally expect Utd to steal it in 93rd) in reply to patrickphelan #
Wow – Utd nearly achieved my prediction – Ronaldo just hit the post in the 93rd min :) #
Trying http://www.xmind.net/ mind mapping software (free, cross platform) – prefer paper but will give this a go #
Dear #lost fans please do not tweet about #lost, or you will have #lost a follower because am not up to date with #lost. #

@omahonydonnelly My folks are mad into ER, Ijust can’t see the appeal of it. in reply to omahonydonnelly #
@Thaedydal I plan to watch BSG eventually. And the 1st (and maybe 2nd) seasons of Heroes & Prison Break. Love The Shield, super show. in reply to Thaedydal #
The fact that I’m working after midnight on a Sunday makes it ok to sleep late on Monday, right? #
@thomasbrunkard I hate the fact that you’re dead right there. Time to set mobile to stun… in reply to thomasbrunkard #
2 really quick surveys for anyone interested in Outsourcing (esp. freelancers & service buyers) http://bit.ly/ugBRu Please RT – thanks! #
Sickened – some scumbag stole my bike from Heuston station. #
It was my about town bicycle – single speed Giant Bowery (’08). 400 quid worth – at least it wasn’t my touring bike. #

@omahonydonnelly Link requires reg. What’s RyanAir’s plan? Treat tourists so badly inflight that they’re relieved to disembark anywhere? in reply to omahonydonnelly #
Jon Stewart rocks, yet again. http://bit.ly/10uoAs #

@darraghdoyle good luck today (though you won’t need it – our boardsies are dead sound). in reply to darraghdoyle #
IBA folks, If I’m not following you and I should be, @reply me. If you’re not a spammer, that is. #

@Thaedydal hehe, that’s a nice way to put it :) in reply to Thaedydal #
@EmilyTully @giftsandvoucher 3 are a shower of muppets. Have you a friendly solicitor to write a letter? I posted to http://bit.ly/dW8Ni #
@emilytully aye, that’s why I said a “friendly” one to write it for free :) Joe Duffy’s a great idea, tho it might not be frivolous enough in reply to EmilyTully #
Hey @TrustTommy, I didn’t get to find out why you don’t like Tweetdeck. I love it & find it helps people understand Twitter quicker. #
@TrustTommy I don’t use groups in TweetDeck any more. Must try figure out what it is I like so much. Must be the multicolumn UI. in reply to TrustTommy #
@bksolutions can you link me details of backup for your hosting accounts (shared specifically) #
Anyone know what moniker.com are like as a registrar? #

I didn’t make pancakes yesterday :( I’ll have to do some this week. #

What time does @ghook normally talk about rugby? Trying to get to grip with this “wireless” gadget #
It’s ridiculous that Zimbabwe is still a full ICC member and the other nations can’t pull out of touring obligations http://bit.ly/bqQBk #
@NiallHarbison exactly how much are you paying in rent? #
@frankiep Good point. OTOH at least 50% of @NiallHarbison’s followers now think that guys’s a legend. in reply to frankiep #
/. poll – 40% of /. readers admit to REALLY working for 4 hours or less per week. Have to admit, I understand that all too well. #
Oh, link for last one: http://tinyurl.com/d39a9g #
@NiallHarbison Well, I was thinking at least the male ones for sure, but you’re probably right :) in reply to NiallHarbison #
@ubfid AP can sue for copyright but also for quasi property right called hot news http://bit.ly/pgDYO — can Twitter sue AP under same? #
@damienmulley Are all you lunatic bloggerers and idiot tweetists causing trouble @ #rospars? in reply to damienmulley #
@ubfid thought you’d be interested alright. Most legal language is greek to me but I like to try to keep up on IP especially. #
@ghook Hey George, g’morning & thanks for that, will definitely tune in. Want to hear what you think of Toby Flood :) in reply to ghook #
Oh dear, prosecution getting destroyed in #spectrial going from bad to worse. Intro for folks who don’t know what it is: http://bit.ly/Nrpsk #
Ok, off to help a client change some old school powerpoint into interesting presentations a la @presentationzen #
@elfinamsterdam my rule of thumb: if a competing airline is less than ~€120 more I’ll fly them instead for less stress & better airport etc in reply to elfinamsterdam #
Someone who was there help out @ghook: “I want to do rospars on the show – help!” #
@ghook fair play George, you’ve caught on to using Twitter very quickly (for an auld lad) ;) #
@darraghdoyle Thanks for great summary of #rospars at http://tinyurl.com/c9u73v #
@Shiminay If I were looking for a new graphics card, what should I be looking for these days? Needs multi-head. in reply to Shiminay #
@Shiminay Play QWCL.exe, CSS maybe and video editing. Budget – depends – not lastest release but high end of mid-range ok in reply to Shiminay #
@Shiminay sounds good, minus VAT even better (required for video editing, not gaming, honest) in reply to Shiminay #
Hmmm, I seem to have lost a website. It’s up live and working fine, I just can’t find it on any of my hosting a/cs. DNS points to us. D’oh! #
Woohoo, found it! #
@sineadailill Made it to train! Was even 6 minutes early! in reply to sineadailill #

Sounds like my favourite printing co. are gone out of business – name off the franchise website, no answer to phone :( #
@davidmcdonagh @sineadailill Twas the printing.com franchise on the north side. I called another got sorted. Love the paper stock they use. #
Ughhh RT @Shiminay: Just back from boards.ie staff lunch, we are full of wind (and burgers). #

@kennyEgan “The KEfella has left the building” in reply to kennyEgan #
@Shiminay bring it. in reply to Shiminay #
@graywolf That’s an incentive to NEW followers, but not existing :) in reply to graywolf #
Cricket’s a funny game – if a batsman gets 80 wickets he’s delighted – if he gets 96 he’s gutted :) #
Had to turn off @ghook because the reception is too bad out here in the back end of nowhere (Mayo) #
@omahonydonnelly Yeah, but tinny Macbook Air speaker (singlular!) ain’t as nice as hifi speakers. Must get decent aerial for hifi. in reply to omahonydonnelly #
@Thaedydal so long as you can watch the rugby, it’s all good. in reply to Thaedydal #
I missed this earlier – Eircom have done something I’m amazed & delighted to *agree with* by not bowing to record co’s http://bit.ly/6Ka6J #
@irlchrusty My expectations for Eircom are so incredibly low that the fact that they’ll wait for a court order is good news in reply to irlchrusty #
C’MON FRANCE. I do love the 6 Nations, cheering against a team one week, for them the next :) #
@suzybie Depends. If Wales lose, we can still win 6N even if we lose to them in the final game. Points difference matters a lot if Fra win. in reply to suzybie #
Cat is curled up happy as larry in front of the fire – not phased in the least by me shouting at the tv :) #
@peterd It’s the rugby – of course I’m allowed shout – tis practically required! Now cmon France, 1 point win would suit nicely! in reply to peterd #
@willcarling not all legal hits though!! in reply to willcarling #
Wales doing great job on turnovers in this game (despite messing up this one) #
@TheMenace Feck exciting. Feck the Grand Slam. All I want is a Championship. in reply to TheMenace #
@willcarling We’ll see if they can kick these 3 :) #6nations in reply to willcarling #
Superb game, well done France. Almost feel sorry for Wales. It’s all in our hands now, CMON IRELAND :) #
Have to say, I don’t like this Friday night match business though #6nations #
Wow, War of the Worlds on Late Late, love that, have it here on record somewhere! #
@micheleneylon I just bought a load of domains. I’m like a kid in a sweetshop sometimes in reply to micheleneylon #
@TheRealAmz Hw about pink electric tape? Ask Denis in reply to TheRealAmz #
@micheleneylon how many are you at now? in reply to micheleneylon #
@micheleneylon Ah, I’ve been good – moved most of them to a single registrar. Tis under 150 all told, so not as bad as I thought! in reply to micheleneylon #
@sineadailill lol – I’m still off beer for Lent (having a nice Jameson). Working away here though, why is night always the most productive? in reply to sineadailill #
@micheleneylon ah yeah, have to admit I don’t have that problem. 95% are .coms in reply to micheleneylon #

@davidmcdonagh how goes the work on the twitter app? I’ll bet you’re not being distracted by this match anyway! in reply to davidmcdonagh #

1 minute survey for freelancers/subcontractors – http://short.ie/flsv – please RT #
Anyone know of a live stream for #ireeng that is available in US? (for @tdaniel39) #
@ghook a bit like this game in reply to ghook #
Thanks all for RTs and for answering #ireeng stream Q, much appreciated! Now, CMON IRELAND! #
Hopefully #ireeng will be a lot better than the previous muck. @ghook says Ire by 6pts. I think he’s close, but I’ll say by 2 scores – 9pts. #
@willcarling Hopefully the rugby will be as good as the atmosphere seems to be #ireeng #6nations in reply to willcarling #
@willcarling The omission is noted – good stuff :) #ireeng #6nations in reply to willcarling #
That’s enough tweeting for now – need to be able to jump up and shout at the tv. CMON IRELAND #ireeng #6nations #
Good thing I’m not tweeting #ireeng – my language is not suitable for broadcast. CMON IRELAND! #
Joubert finally getting told to do something about these English thugs #ireeng #6nations #
@willcarling MJ: good captain, terrible manager. Too much emotion for management box. in reply to willcarling #
Great to see Ireland win while missing our most crucial player (where was ROG today anyway?) #ireeng #6nations #
@ghook Should have been about 4 cards before the first came out – Joubert gave us nothing #ireeng #6nations in reply to ghook #

Fscking Italian’s played Irelands Call at 1/3 speed. Hoping for a total demolition job today, no mercy or holding back, CMON IRELAND! #
#annihilateita might be a bit long. #
YES!! Good man Tommy Bowe #ireita #
Messy game so far #ireita #
We should still win #ireita but not the way I hoped. That yellow looked harsh, ref trying to “equalise” count? #
Jaysus – another yellow! #ireita cmon Ireland drive this one over! #
TRY! Wow, superb defense from Italy, thought we weren’t going to get in there! #ireita #
Beautiful kicking there from O’Gara. Cmon Ireland #ireita #
Joyous break from Heaslip, deserved to score it himself. Great try Ireland! #ireita #
Woah, that Italian looks in pieces. Nice work lads. Turn up the pressure let’s punish these guys now. #ireita #
Not happy with this, we should be punishing these guys #ireita #
Try from nothing Ireland! Go Luke! #ireita 29-9 excluding ROG conversion attempt #
That’s more like it! BOD try #ireita #
Not happy with Ireland’s performance but at least we’re still unbeaten. Will post some thoughts on sportcrazy.net later. #
@Sarah_Stuart Check out #ireita :-) Ok, I’m off to the gym. in reply to Sarah_Stuart #

Nice idea from sitepoint, I just donated $30 to Oz Red Cross via their ebook sale: http://sale.sitepoint.com/ – check it out #
Really like that idea, it gives back to people giving to charity, but costs them nothing. Gotta love ebooks. #

@RoadCrew Thanks, I’ll call in to 3 tomorrow. Don’t want to get stuck in a contract with any of them in reply to RoadCrew #

Going to have to cook dinner (pastabake) now cos I have nothing suitable for lunch.. will take ages. Guess I’ll have the time back later #

@sitepointdotcom Can you give us an update on how much you’ve received so far via http://sale.sitepoint.com/ ? Getting loads of coverage! #
@TomRaftery That was Mulligan’s on Poolbeg St. Great place. Also highly recommend Grogan’s on Sth William St. in reply to TomRaftery #

o2 rang to help reduce my bill, which I appreciate. I’m out of contract but can only go to appropriate plan if I sign new contract. FAIL #
On that note, o2 has been feckin expensive, time I switched. Love to go to vodafone but didn’t understand their plans last time was in shop. #
@sineadcochrane tempted to go off bill alright. If someone gave me the latest HTC phone I might be swayed to a new contract. in reply to sineadcochrane #
@shortword I was on Three about 4 years ago, was so rubbish I had to pay off contract & switch back. One reason I don’t like contracts :) in reply to shortword #
@kennyEgan Is your fight on Friday evening televised anywhere? I’m down west. in reply to kennyEgan #
Off the train, having a pint in Johnnie McHales, Castlebar. Caught the last 5 mins of match. #
Happy Fri 13th folks #
RT: @spiller2 Quick everyone unfollow @mcawilliams then he wont leave – done #
I gotta find a way to run iMovie on my PC, need the video processing power of a desktop. Any suggestions? #
@kennyEgan how do you prepare the afternoon before the fight? Just chilling out? in reply to kennyEgan #
@forbairt @davidmcdonagh Yeah thinking about that – can you install it in OSX? Only ever put it on Apple h/w #
Err, typ?meant to say is it possible to install OSX on VMware #
Advantage of working for yourself #422: I took morning off to go mountain biking in Srahmore (forest outside Newport, Co. Mayo). Pics later. #
@kennyEgan http://bit.ly/15j66c :) Best of luck later on. Unfortunately I’m down west so won’t make it in to watch. Upload it to youtube :) #
@peterd It’s not televised tonight, but next week’s one is. @AlMcBride: I’m down in bogland at the moment – back Sat afternoon. #
@NiallHarbison Morrison Hotel aint bad at all (the free wifi rocks in there these days, well impressed) in reply to NiallHarbison #
@kennyEgan Congrats dude – either see you on tv, or hopefully live next week! Well done on the 9! #
@TheMenace can’t believe how bad that match was. Hoping England can beat Wales in the next (unlikely), would be nice for us I think :) in reply to TheMenace #
This scheduling is desperate – Wales England should be kicking off at 5pm not 5.30. Without knowing for certain I’m blaming Murdoch. #
Happy Hallmark Holiday folks #
@TheMenace That’s what I’m hoping too ;) in reply to TheMenace #
Think I completed my evolution from coder-geek to business-geek: I just gave my copies of “Code Complete” & “The Pragmatic Programmer” away #
Ok, CMON ENGLAND (it’s rare you’ll see me say that :)) #
@davidmcdonagh reckon you’re right there, piling on the pens. Awesome defensive tackles going in from Wales too. Impressed with Armitage tho in reply to davidmcdonagh #
YES! Try England! #
@eamonncarey was just thinking that, perfect bounce up to run on to. Bit like for the French last week ;) in reply to eamonncarey #
@willcarling Goode made up for it with that drop goal :) in reply to willcarling #
Got to say, I’m *really* impressed with Armitage so far. Putting himself into Lions contention vs Kearney/Byrne? #
HAS to be a yellow card for Goode here #
Think that might be the start of the floodgates. Missing the conversion leaves England a slim chance I guess. #
Major miss there by Flood, it’s game over man, game over! #
@willcarling Disagree – if it was gonna be an England MotM should be Armitage. in reply to willcarling #
@TheMenace Thought he outplayed Byrne by a mile. Agree about England not being a rollover. And yet again Wales fail to impress me. in reply to TheMenace #
@racesail if England can sort out the penalty count they’ll be tough to beat. in reply to racesail #
@krishnade Tweetdeck can be really inconsistent sometimes (read: often) – I think its actually due to Twitter API. Advice: quit and restart. in reply to krishnade #
@NiallHarbison @eamonncarey I agree 100% with what Eamonn said there. Semi-relevant: What sports events MUST you attend? http://bit.ly/GsQKA #
The fact that I’m working at midnight on Valentines Day is the reason that I’m working at midnight on Valentines Day. *self-reference error* #
@alanorourke lol, thanks Lisa! Now get off Twitter and back to serenading your wife before you get your ass kicked :) in reply to alanorourke #
ok, work done, time for a beer and then bed, been up 22 hours which is more than I’d like #
