Snippets #19

July 31, 2008 – 9:15 am

One of the plugins entered for the WordPress Plugin Competition is Sermon Management. Yeah, yeah, yeah - who gives a flying fox. No one. Except PaddyAnglican maybe, but he’s on Bloggeryspottery and can’t use it. But here’s the thing: In the promo it states one of its aims is to make Wordpress the CMS of [...]

Publicans and Pharisees

July 30, 2008 – 8:28 am

I don’t know much about Pharisees. Maybe they’re the folks that make the telescopes.

Down through the years [...]

July 18, 2008 – 7:12 am

Burning oil is bad. Burning coal is bad. Travellers setting themselves on fire in Coolock is bad for the environment too.

But I’m hesitant. What hidden dangers are there? [...]

Mary Hanafin to implement 1980s policies

July 14, 2008 – 10:21 am

Back in the 80s things were tough. Times were rotten and Robin Hood was a state-of-the-art industrial estate. Christy Moore sang Peter Hames’ Ordinary Man and stirred anger in us all. Countless thousands were unemployed.
That’s not totally correct - they were indeed counted. Counted and parsed by gender, age, education, you name it. They would [...]
