- Nice mention of Irish OpenCoffees and Irish start-ups from Saul Klein. http://tinyurl.com/26snpw #
- Might even consider installing iTunes and stop calling Steve Jobs “Damien Thorn” after the EMI announcement of DRM-free music downloads #
- Steve Jobs, Damian Thorn, EMI, Thorn-EMI. Oh no, the apocalypse is upon us. #
- Ulster Bank Online Business Banking still stuck on IE4+ or Netscape 4.7. This level of incompetence shouldn’t be allowed near the web. #
- @PaulWalsh - Ulster Bank has a FAQ page an accessibility. Unfortunately it’s not *cough* very accessible
# - EuroVPS DNS giving me gyp. Normally expect that to work out of the box without tweaking. Need an Ops guy. #
- Thought I had tons of baby leaf lettuce seeds. Don’t. So planted cos, rocket and carrots. Saladini and scallions tomorrow. #
- @donncha - I tried Digging your InPhotos SEO post too and they can’t access the URL. DNS problem at their end? #
- Just registered corkopencoffee.com and corkopencoffee.org. Pointing them both to the upcoming page for now http://upcoming.org/group/2849/ #
- Spent day doing EI feasibility study grant claim. I’ll never be an accountant. #
- Windows Media player can’t play MP4s and Quicktime is a disaster on Windows. Trying Democracy player now #
- So much for that idea. I click on anything in Democracy player and it says “action is not a registered protocol”. Handy, thanks. #
- Did the same moron design all DIY web-sites like B&Q, Woodies, Atalntic? Try searching for cuprinol. Feels like 1995. #

We had a simple question “how much are those fence spraying yokes”. Still don’t know after checking them all.

Conor, not sure if screwfix.com or toolstation.com deliver to Ireland, but they are far superior sites and are also much cheaper. Yer man who set up Screwfix sold it to B&Q and now runs Toolstation, and he’s undercutting B&Q/Screwfix by a fair amount. I got an electric sprayer for a tenner (GBP) about six weeks ago. You need to order over £45 worth of goods to get free delivery, otherwise you’ll probably need to add on about €10-12 to the price. If they don’t deliver to Ireland, you can get it delivered to me and I’ll forward it on to you - would probably still work out a fair bit cheaper. Just mail me if you want to do that.

I’d forgotten about those guys. Always remember visiting a startup in the UK a few years back and they were ordering all the tools to build their office from Screwfix.
Thanks for the offer, I’ll see what the suss is with Irish delivery.

Those DIY sites really are a pain in the hole. B&Q did well to snag the diy.com domain, and then they ruined it with such poor navigation/search.
