Flock to the Web...

Flock is the new buzz word online in the land of developers and techies alike. Flock is the creation of a small group of developers as a compliment browser to Firefox, using the Firefox code as a base, which mimicks the del.icio.us projects and uses their code systems. Flock, is in some ways a lot like Safari RSS on Tiger. Flock is now available to developers, and I like what I see. There’s a touch of magic about...

Powered Books...

Apple, dare I mention them yet again, have announced a further update to their product line “ahead of the holidays” as they say in the States. The Cupertino California computer giant has revamped the PowerBook G4 line ahead of its much talked-about replacement by so-called “MacTel” PowerBooks in the new year.

Weekends at Galway have lost their appeal – for the want of enjoyment. Galway, the City of the Tribes, has fallen victim to that unforgiveable theme, that of the Capital City. Dublin, thronged with pubs and clubs and drunkeness,...

Catch Up (Personal Blog)...

Hello! Sorry I’ve been away lately. Hectic weekend of sitting around doing nothing. Finding it hard lately to see material for blogging. Looked at my mentor’s site WilWheatonDotNet and he’s covering things from a personal angle, so I guess seeing as how I’m still young and unmarried, I need to keep my options open by not closing out people. Not saying Wil Wheaton is closing off people, but I don’t...
