7-year old has discovered “am I bovvered”. Promised to show him Catherine Tate vs Doctor Who on Comic Relief # Can we have an EU-wide referendum to ban the use of the phrase “I’ll give it 110%”? Particularly on The Apprentice # Running Thunderbird 2.0.0pre. Rock solid and fewer problems than 1.5. Still has stupid “new mail notification” bug when spam is filtered. # considering using GMail fulltime but with backup using fetchmail to grab everything via POP and store on server here # @imeallach : trust no-one!

Some bloggy stats
My sense of my readership based on the comments is that the majority are non-technical non-bloggers so I thought I’d post some stats on blogging in gerneral as it is unlikely you read Dave Sifry’s blog. Dave is CEO of Technorati, the main blog search engine and the company responsible for things like the tags you see at the end of my posts and microformats, the technology we’re building our business, LouderVoice on.

The Jesus and Mary Chain are playing Electric Picnic 07. I felt too old for outdoor gigs at Guns n Roses in 1992, what hope now? # it really does look like the non-stop bluescreening on my as-new Latitude D420 was due to Vista. XP rock solid on it. Damn, I like Vista. # All Google properties down or Cork routing problem? # Woo hoo, back on top for google search of “Conor O’Neill”.

Review of Casino Royale (2006) Movie
Best Bond since Goldfinger. Great plot, good acting, actually exciting stunts. <div> Review of <span class="type">product</span>: <span class="item"><span class="fn">[Casino Royale (2006) Movie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381061/)</span></span></div> Rated as 4/5 on Apr 03 2007 by Conor O’Neill Initially everyone hated the idea of Daniel Craig doing Bond. Then the movie came out and they all ate crow. We finally saw it on DVD over the weekend and it was worth the wait.
It’s back to the cold, harsh, darkly witty Bond of old with so much of the baggage of thirty years discarded.

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.

High quality April Fools in our house. “Look Dad there’s a dinosaur behind you” # Best April Fools so far: “Eventful switches to an all-Twitter interface”. http://tinyurl.com/ysx2kh # Reminded that I was convinced GMail was an April Fool when it was announced. # Casino Royale now on equal footing with GoldFinger as my favourite Bond movie. Finally caught it on DVD. Superb. # For fun pulling my feeds OPML into RSSBandit.

Review of The Apprentice UK TV Show
Nothing better than a room of combined arrogance and stupidity. Sugar in top form. <div> Review of <span class="type">event</span>: <span class="item"><span class="fn">[The Apprentice UK TV Show](http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/)</span></span></div> Rated as 5/5 on Apr 01 2007 by Conor O’Neill I have to hand it to the BBC people who select the participants in The Apprentice, they always do a superb job. The hard of thinking on Channel 4 who pick those for Big Brother could learn a lot from them.

Wossey improved. Gervais funny as ever and John Travolta not bad. FFed throught Gareth Gates and Macy Grey. Wedding Belles good. QOTSA rules # Read that O’Leary to be a judge on X Factor. Gutted to find out it was Dermot and not Michael. Now that could have been a great programme! # The Read/WriteWeb article on Irish webapps made it to the front page of Digg! Hazzah. # Do my blog readers love/hate/not_bovvered about the summary tweets which appear every day over on conoroneill.
