Heading over to the RDS for the #rugby, hopefully a good game with Leinster beating Ulster. #
@sineadailill Gave 1 to @theRealAmz, but still have 1 spare I think :) #rugby in reply to sineadailill #
@suzybie better you than me, I couldn’t stand listening to the muppets for 2 minutes! Cooking blogging sounds a lot more interesting in reply to suzybie #
Wasps are trying to throw away their chance of Heineken Cup #rugby next year – just lost to Saracens. Right, on me bike to RDS. #
@mcawilliams I recommend Avira or NOD32 if you’re willing to pay for a decent AV http://bit.ly/2WHlrb Avast is ok, don’t use AVG. in reply to mcawilliams #
@donncha not blocked for me here (FF3/Mac). I’ve seen some very high profile sites blocked recently in reply to donncha #
@donncha I was in a taxi at the weekend, 05 Passat, full leather, auto, 38k miles, guy got it for €12k up north, reckoned 21k here… in reply to donncha #
@donncha He saved nearly 9 grand. ~40% cheaper, incredible. If I was buying, I’d definitely head north. £STG was good at the time though. in reply to donncha #
@blacknight Question for ya. I have a domain and I’m not sure which registrar it’s with. How can I find out? #
@savagepaul @forbairt fair play guys. The first whois I tried didn’t list an ICANN Registrar field, but that one does – cheers! #
@blacknight Cheers – thanks for the help! I found them, looks like they were a reseller. Buying existing domains can be really messy. in reply to blacknight #
I got loads of work done on Saturday, getting feck all done today. Had no coffee, maybe that’s it. Off to shop to get some. #
I’m lurking on the tweetchat going on over at #diymkt #

@BusinessTherapy SEO is a complex subject, but it can be simplified to explain it to people – more SEO folks need to do that well #diymkt in reply to BusinessTherapy #
@burkonsconsult I think a good SEO should be able to do explain it to people of every level of knowledge. #diymkt in reply to burkonsconsult #
Tweetchat finishing up at #diymkt, got some good ideas & found some interesting twitters. #
@Shiminay super story, eh? love it. @blacknight cheers – will DM you about the domain agent in reply to Shiminay #

RT @mneylon: RT @DomainerTimes: 5 Reasons To Not Buy a Mac http://tinyurl.com/dm4dll — I like em both. Platform irrelevant, data matters. #
@BeckyNaylor They say communication is important in a relationship, but I don’t think they mean twitter :) in reply to BeckyNaylor #
@frankiep Good point on 2nd side to the story there, dead right. #
@damienmulley @frankiep There’s a lot of SEO work that could be done after the fact. It depends on the situation. On the surface sounds bad. #

@Thehodge What char are you? That game is dangerously addictive – be careful! in reply to Thehodge #
Anyone know what control panel Register365 is running? I’m trying to enable PHP for a friend, can’t find any options for it #
@cksolutions I thought it should be too – appears not for this a/c. @mneylon feck, if it’s custom we’re done for. I don’t see options here. #
@mneylon found a link (via google) to hsphere. http://cp.hosting365.com/ BAD http://cp.hosting365.ie/ GOOD. in reply to mneylon #

Sarkozy thinking about going on strike from the G20 summit? Can’t accuse the French of being inconsistent http://bit.ly/LNCK #
@davidmcdonagh Godin is very much a love ‘im or hate ‘im kinda character. Tends to be a lazy writer (few sources) which annoys academics in reply to davidmcdonagh #

I’m looking for a few good (bad?) examples of all Flash websites, anyone got links for me? #

@mneylon @forbairt cheers guys, much appreciated #
RT @RTEsport: Mauls saved by ELV rejection: The maul’s place at the heart of #rugby union is set to be preserved http://tinyurl.com/ccoy67 #

Ok, #rugby gear organised, off to my match. #
@TheRealAmz Avenged you: beat Marys at Marys :) #
Hi #sbbuzz folks. I’m reading back chat history via search to catch up. #sbbuzz #
@t_s_f how does that work out? sounds like it might not be very effective – missing the relationship side of the equation #sbbuzz #
@t_s_f Twitter can be very effective in doing that, depending on how people use it (that part is key). #sbbuzz #
@desireescales Good techies could (should) pay for themselves, like any another professional advisor (accountant, lawyer) #sbbuzz #
RT @duggan: A new frontier in Irish social networking: http://faceboards.ie #
@desireescales Free advice up to a certain point is essential. While at the same time maintaining the ability to put food on table. #sbbuzz #
@graywolf maybe he thought “I’ll sneak this in as an April Fools, but it might just work…” in reply to graywolf #
I don’t believe that giving away info for free is a black and white issue, lot of considerations and situations. #sbbuzz #
@SternalMrktg I’m interested in the Thesis link, can you link publically or DM me? #smbiz in reply to SternalMrktg #
@sweetsue Sure, got that one. I meant the link for company specialising in customising Thesis – just getting started with that. #smbiz in reply to SweetSue #
@intuitioneer @SternalMrktg thanks guy #smbiz in reply to intuitioneer #
@t_s_f Can be hectic trying to follow conversation here :) #sbbuzz in reply to t_s_f #
@frankiep it’s a premium WP theme, has some pretty nice features. Check out http://bit.ly/4BC5tp amongst others – one of most honest reviews in reply to FrankieP #
@jvinchi I’m actually using *both* Tweetdeck search & Tweetchat – still tough to keep up on all threads of conversation :) #sbbuzz in reply to jvinchi #
btw @Tweetchat, please enable return/enter key to submit postings, creating a newline is driving me nuts #sbbuzz #
@smallbiztrends any tips for writing the releases? #sbbuzz in reply to smallbiztrends #
Mornin folks. Feeling sore today after a match last night. #

Exercises for carpal tunnel/RSI/tendonitis: http://bit.ly/s8lx interested to know what folks think of em. #
I wonder how many great ideas originated as April Fools jokes. #
Coffee kills some of the pain of exercise http://bit.ly/denP and off to the kettle I go… #

@alanorourke I used sedo.co.uk for domain name escrow, fees weren’t bad at all (relatively speaking), and they know what they’re doing. #
@regi Hopefully so – I’ll tell you in 8 months time :) in reply to regi #
@littlequiz @enormous I loved this article guys: http://bit.ly/WXupR #
@alanorourke Give ’em site front end. Put the domain on escrow, and give them 1/2 backend code, other 1/2 later. Some trust is essential. in reply to alanorourke #
@duggan boards PMs need a Save as Draft option, does vbb supply? #
@nell_xo what’s that about? sounds interesting #rugby in reply to nell_xo #
@nell_xo Sounds good, though don’t know if beach rugby will catch on in Ireland :) #rugby in reply to nell_xo #
@nell_xo In Dublin, which has a few beaches , but I think the rain would be the main problem with that idea (maybe not this summer) #rugby in reply to nell_xo #
@nell_xo that’s funny, I was just looking at http://bit.ly/owT0h 2 days ago. in reply to nell_xo #

Using Google Docs spreadsheet, not bad. One big annoyance: it doesn’t have Ireland locale so currency is messed up. #
Ah, if you choose drop-down under 123 (not currency!) it gives an option. Also stops it displaying 6.99 as 7 which was not good :) #

YES! C’mon Leinster #
Should be 17-16. Felipe you’ve been great. But don’t let the door hit you on the way out. #

@KimBrame @bngr No comment. Can’t get myself in more trouble :-) #
@czajkowski congratulations. Time for Cheika to go I’m afraid #
@aarons Screw that idea. I’d rather beat Quins & go again at Munster with someone with a clue in control #
Ok, screw it, supporting best semi-final team at HQ final, whoever it is. *sad* #
@heavensgame Irishman is he? #
So, in the cold light of day, great performance from Munster, Leinster weren’t bad in 1st, poor in 2nd. Kicking desperate. Won’t beat Quins #
Watching a replay of Bath v Quins #
@BarryAlistair Don’t think it can restart at this stage. in reply to BarryAlistair #
Ah well, there we go, it won’t restart. This race didn’t do much for F1’s poor reputation at the moment. #
