  • @MiriamAhern That’s why I hid down the back so you couldn’t see what I was up to :) in reply to MiriamAhern #

  • RT@ginader: happy there’s non-panicing & well researched articles about swine flu. Thank you Guardian http://cli.gs/t4jPBe #

  • @PixieVonDust http://is.gd/vkhb (via @irlchrusty) has the answer. 7 confirmed deaths = “it may have killed as many as 159 people” in reply to PixieVonDust #
  • @dancryer My guess is freelance. DM me your email and I’ll send it on to her in reply to dancryer #
  • Skype are spending tonnes on TV advertising at the moment, I must have seen that ad 10 times in the last couple of days. #
  • Time required to setup WordPress: 3 minutes. Time required to setup WordPress *properly*: 3 hours. #
  • @amylong yeah, driving me nuts. in reply to amylong #
  • @PerfectBlogger Cfg options & setting up site specific plugins. Can usually automate a good bit but normally sites are not identical. in reply to PerfectBlogger #
  • Finally got our HCup semi-final #rugby tickets! The relief! Will be in Hogan Stand Sect. 334, on the 22. #
  • @bsneyd lol, true that! Unfortunately the best you can get out of the blood transfusion guys these days is a small bottle of Guinness. in reply to bsneyd #
  • Anyone know a good online shop for glasses that delivers to Ireland? I used glassesdirect.co.uk before but they’ve stopped delivering here. #
  • RT @robert_brady: 2 medalists among 6 positives in Olympic retests http://ff.im/-2rMD9 << that sucks. #
  • @yenwodt You’re across the 22 from us :) in reply to yenwodt #
  • I can’t believe this is being debated in Ireland in the 21st century http://is.gd/vl5e “crime of blasphemous libel”. Morons. #
  • I’m going to become a registered Pastafarian (http://www.venganza.org/) if that crap goes through. #
  • @Kiowah It’s a new religion which acknowledges the world was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Based on a lot of factual evidence. in reply to Kiowah #
  • @thomasbrunkard The law is weird and wonderful thing, particularly defamation law. Don’t be surprised if it sails by and is upheld :) in reply to thomasbrunkard #
  • @Kiowah Glad to help educate, even my elders :) #
  • This is pretty cool, US electric grid: http://is.gd/utDm @TomRaftery: your kinda geekiness :) #
  • @theelfyone I was! There appears to be a lot of us touched by his noodly appendage recently :) in reply to theelfyone #
  • Interface question for @forbairt/@TheMenace/any other web UI folks: do you like “Type and wait to search”? I’m not feeling the love for it. #
  • @Riezner True. Here in Ireland we have quite a bit of wind, especially on the west coast. Have some big wind farms up but could do more. in reply to Riezner #
  • @121Marketing Some of my thoughts on cycling in Dublin http://is.gd/vt8x http://is.gd/vt94 #cycledublin in reply to 121Marketing #
  • @121Marketing Yeah I really hate the cyclelanes behind/in front of busstops in particular. Some really dangerous ones in reply to 121Marketing #
  • Ok, stop work time. #
  • @Hobo_Web Framebuster: test against infinite loop or broken back button. if (top !== self) top.location.href=self.location.href seems ok #
  • @fantomaster I’m not sure about that one. Often you want to credit the secondary source, or it adds value. Depends on circumstances] in reply to fantomaster #
  • @SelectSpecs Cheers. Good work on the twitter monitoring btw :) in reply to SelectSpecs #
  • What’s this about boards being on RTE tonight? #
  • Just joined a twibe. Visit http://twibes.com/boards to join boards.ie Twitter users. And they’re on RTE tonight at 7pm. #
  • @mattcutts Please let me nofollow H1, so you ignore it and read the *real* H1 further down the page? :) #
  • @dannyarr Thanks for the fantastic work on WD, much appreciated. #
  • @amylong Where does the queue start? in reply to amylong #
  • @darraghdoyle You’ll need to dig up to get out of this one #
  • RT @MiriamAhern: @AMcDermott Thanks for the help. Your advice is always spot on so I’m sure it will work << @amylong you have competition! #
  • Snooker World Championship has had loads of weird incidents this year. Shaun Murphy not making friends with Neal Robertson there #
  • RT @Tupp_Ed: Email addresses of Oireachtas members voting on blasphemy law: http://bit.ly/rbpGK #nbd via @damiengallagher #
  • Reggie has described my hatred of Lunster fans quite perfectly there >> RT: @ruggerbits http://is.gd/vI5J #
  • @TheMadderHat The Pastafarians have spaghetti & meatballs and pirate costumes.!What have the Jedi got, coloured fluorescent lightbulbs? in reply to TheMadderHat #
  • Facebook Manners And You http://is.gd/sz8e [VID] (production quality is superb) #
  • NZ gov has decided to recreate copyright law from scratch http://is.gd/vNPz #
  • Churchgoers more likely to support torture http://is.gd/vIlc (who’d have thought?) #
  • @forbairt There could be something to that. However, I have other theories :) in reply to forbairt #
  • RT @forbairt/@webcreative Even high-end fashion designers ‘steal’ designs http://tinyurl.com/c92ol3 #
  • Any Gravatar experts around? #
  • RT @darraghdoyle: Boards.ie on TV last night http://is.gd/vO9J << well impressed with drama board guys! #
  • @darraghdoyle @paulmcclean it definitely did work first time. Looks like RTE changed video id from 1046941 to 1046916 #
  • This blasphemy law stuff is crazy. Surely we must stick it on the next referendum http://is.gd/vODW #ireland #law #
  • Nothing like a bit of Prodigy for a Friday afternoon. Reckon I’m typing faster :) #
  • @davidsmalley Looks great. But what kind of hacker are you, reading the manual?! in reply to davidsmalley #
  • @Shiminay Listening to it now, tis pretty alright in reply to Shiminay #
  • Just been testing site in mobile – Opera’s View -> Small Screen mode is fantastic when you set user agent too #
  • @MiriamAhern if he’s going by how much time you spend on it, he’s dead right :) in reply to MiriamAhern #
  • Six years ago today GWB declared “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq. #
  • @willcarling you do those accents pretty well :) in reply to willcarling #
  • @davidmcdonagh Mulligans Guinness will taste sweet on Monday ;) in reply to davidmcdonagh #
  • Fair play to Mark Allen there, great session of snooker, did really well to keep his head up despite Higgins’ form & his own bad luck #
  • @nell_xo He had incredibly bad luck so often, twas like the Gods were against him! I don’t like Robertson, too arrogant -typical Aussie? ;) in reply to nell_xo #
  • @nell_xo Mind you, it’s really disconcerting when Shaun Murphy sits in his seat smiling in reply to nell_xo #
  • @andrewburnett @wiieb Fair play both of yis. Moving is something I like to do as little as possible. in reply to andrewburnett #
  • @mneylon Funny you say that, but I’m actually doing exactly the same. Thankfully the latter are not mine! in reply to mneylon #
  • Err, I mean the former. Lol #
  • @patmoroney @holyschmoke It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Super Rob has the skills, Girvan the reliability, Nacewa the … inconsistency? in reply to patmoroney #
  • @andrewburnett Ah, nearly as bad – just as much effort :) in reply to andrewburnett #
  • Comparing Leinster v Munster to State of Origin (great comparison IMO) http://is.gd/vYE4 (via @patmoroney) #
  • Browser >Extension< Wars! Noscript includes obfuscated code which breaks AdBlock Plus http://is.gd/vYJt #
  • btw I’m a big fan of http://adblockplus.org – I whitelist sites that I want to support or might find interesting (like boards.ie etc) #
  • Thanks for #followfriday recommendation @mrelihan @patmoroney @robert_brady @MiriamAhern @forbairt @dvdlpz @ruggerbits y’all are my pick ;) #
  • RT @Brian_Howes: Petition to help stop the Howes being extradited without evidence. Please Sign & RT http://bit.ly/BfQL6 #
  • Tip for twitter spammers: dont all use the same pic of a cute girl. Also 100:1 follower ratio and no updates are kind of a giveaway #
  • @fantomaster We should start some sort of self-help group for these spammy marketers with no clue in reply to fantomaster #
  • @Brian_Howes More than welcome. Crazy to think someone can be extradited without evidence, nevermind parents. Best of luck with it. #
  • @fantomaster “Somebody set up us the feathers. For great justice!” just doesn’t really do it for me… in reply to fantomaster #
  • @astewart You might be able to access it at http://x.x.x.x/wp-admin Alternatively your host might have an “instant alias” #wordpress in reply to astewart #
  • @fantomaster Yep. Gets em all in one room. Then nuke the entire site from high orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. in reply to fantomaster #
  • Looks like that NoScript issue http://is.gd/vYJt has angered the Reddit gods, getting tonnes of 1/5 ratings on Moz.org #
  • @JoelDrapper @boagworld Twitter Tools from Alex King is probably the one you’re looking for http://is.gd/atI #
  • Anyone recommend me new scifi to read? I’m all out of Charlie Stross (hence messed up body clock) #sciencefiction #sf #
  • @JoelDrapper Hmm I think I may have sent you wrong there. TT is on the sidebar http://is.gd/jn9h has some but I don’t see the 1 you refer to in reply to JoelDrapper #
  • @duggan I’ve read *everything* by Peter F. Hamilton. Waiting for latest to come out. He’s in my top 5 for sure. in reply to duggan #
  • @fantomaster One problem is a lot of legimate stuff like high quality info products gets associated with MMO spammers. Real pity. in reply to fantomaster #
  • @duggan Check. Check. Also Reynolds (who can be a tad hard sometimes). in reply to duggan #
  • @JoelDrapper Got it! It’s this one http://is.gd/vZwc and maybe @boagworld can tell us exactly how he configured setup in reply to JoelDrapper #
  • @Thaedydal @duggan I may have to turn to fantasy. Robin Hobb was good but latest series went a bit pearshaped. Loved previous stuff in reply to Thaedydal #
  • @JoelDrapper It seems to be this: http://is.gd/vZwc plus this: http://is.gd/vZxs to get Twitter references showing in WP comments #
  • @Thaedydal I can be generous – the first Assassins series was awesome so giving her a bit of leeway. Hopefully next series is better. in reply to Thaedydal #
  • Fantastic interruption of press conference, pretty cool exit too http://is.gd/vZA0 #
  • @duggan Ah, I see he co-wrote the latest Dune ones. They were -ok- (better than Franks later ones). I’ll check his stuff out in reply to duggan #
  • @JoannaSchaff Read pretty much all of Asimov/Clarke/Heinlein/Bear/Bradbury/Aldiss/Card/Adams/Baxter/Benford/Bova. Oh, and Harrison :) in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • @JoannaSchaff When everyone else was studying for Leaving Cert, I was quietly failing because of mountains of sf/f in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • @JoannaSchaff Stop. I’m up to date, sigh. And I even read all of Goodkind SOT series :/ in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • @JoannaSchaff Ah true enough. First 5 WOT are alright, good page turners when all else fails in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • @JoannaSchaff I loved Magician and some of Feist’s spin off series but they got too many for me, quality dropped around Princes, Merchan … in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • @JoannaSchaff I refuse to read Brooks and don’t like Eddings. Goodkind is almost there with them though in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • We all have superb taste in sf&f *Mutual back clapping* #
  • @JoannaSchaff I don’t grok that? (when I said “pretty much all of XYZ”, I wasn’t joking :)) in reply to JoannaSchaff #
  • In hindsight, the secondhand bookshop that opened within walking distance of my school really didn’t help my exam results. #
  • Mind you, they also decided to hold the Rugby World Cup right when I was doing exams too. Fatal combination really. #
  • Ok, time to head to Croker, hope to see Leinster do it, but feel it’s unlikely #
  • Croker jammed. Lot of Munsterfans around. I’m concerned about catching flu from the swine :) #
  • Croker wont show replay, fair yellow? I though he was committed #
  • Disaster :-( #
  • Happy enough with 5pt lead at 1/2time. I’d prefer if 50% of our team wasn’t broken #
  • Voice gone. Incredible performance by Leinster :-) #
  • Just home. Voice completely gone from shouting at the game. What an incredible performance by Leinster. Pics uploading. #
  • RT @TheMenace 15:05: Right, off for a pint before heading to Croker. ALLEZ LES BLUES << and that was the last we heard of Ken. #
  • RT @fantomaster: RT @daveredfly: Every day I wish more and more that Google had a viable competitor. << Ditto #
  • @holyschmoke Just trying to sort them, they got out of order somehow in reply to holyschmoke #
  • Pictures from Munster v Leinster #HEC #ERC #rugby semi-final http://is.gd/wd9H #
  • @MiriamAhern Looks like we’ll be wearing the blue jersey after all. I’m still in shock :) #
  • I also have some nice video of “the best fans in the world” leaving early, that’ll go on YouTube at some point ;) #
  • Munster fans, I won’t apologies for that, you know you’re overbearing about that so take it on the chin :) #
  • Looking at the pics, I see the way they cross-checkered the Leinster & Munster fans. It’s pretty cool but I’d prefer they didn’t do that #
  • @holyschmoke I was full sure Munster would win, just unsure by how much. I keep repeating “incredible” but only way to describe Leinster. in reply to holyschmoke #
  • @willcarling said “Munster by 21” << I thought he might be right, especially when our backline was destroyed by injury. #
  • @holyschmoke Putting my Ireland jersey on, I’m very concerned that some of our Lions have done serious damage to their rep today. Not good. in reply to holyschmoke #
  • @holyschmoke I think he realises he’s in trouble. A 26 week ban is norm for deliberate eye-gouging. I didn’t see incident enough to judge. in reply to holyschmoke #
  • I watched videos of the Quinlan incident. I think it will get him the minimum eyegouging 12 wk ban. Deserved. Unfortunate timing for Lions. #
  • @cgallagher @holyschmoke It was stupid. I want him on the Lions, but that incident must deserve a ban. Positive: maybe Jennings gets called! in reply to cgallagher #
  • @cgallagher @holyschmoke I don’t wish it on him, but he MUST get cited for it. Nasty incident. Potential 12-26 wk ban means out of Lions. in reply to cgallagher #
  • @DesireeScales My notes on Outliers: http://is.gd/web1 #fb in reply to DesireeScales #
  • @LTeeling Best got 18wks for this even though accidental http://is.gd/wmds Here’s Quinlan one: http://is.gd/wmdW #rugby in reply to LTeeling #
  • @TheRealAmz That bad, eh? I don’t go on it much anymore. in reply to TheRealAmz #
  • Good start to snooker final for John Higgins. He’s in serious form this year, will be tough for Murphy to beat him. #
  • Ok, settling down to watch Cardiff-Leicester. Would prefer to meet Cardiff in the final. #
