Hafta do a PPT for ShareIT tomorrow in UCC. If you haven’t signed up to attend, do! http://tinyurl.com/3dtknc # Hmm, the Planet Feedreader with some regexes may do the trick for my cunning plan and not require Yahoo Pipes. Fun for later # @PaulMWatson - SIngle biggest gripe about Flickr is lack of “private URL” you can send to non-members to view family pics. Real drawback. # @damienmulley - I shall sey zis only wance.

Oisín aged 5. “We should keep having more kids until we have enough to buy a limo”. A limo to school would be awesome I must admit. # Holy Crap - firebomb attack on cop station in Bandon!

It is always busy and serves bog standard globo-food like wings, burgers, salads etc.

For some completely bizarre reason, each regional health board can decide whether to give babies a BCG shot or not as standard. Cork (all of Munster?) is the only region not to. Catherine has just pointed me to a story in The Irish Examiner about a woman with TB who worked in two creches in Cork. They are now going to have to test every child in both of those locations for infection.

Got an email from Cork GreenMap telling me about a new feasibility study that Cork City Council are doing in the area of Car Sharing. Cork City Council is considering the feasibility of the setting up of a car-sharing service – also called “car club” in the UK – in Cork City: http://www.corkcorp.ie/ourservices/roads/carsharing.shtml What is car-sharing? Car-sharing in urban areas is a cost-effective alternative to owning your own car. It allows people access to a car when they need it, from a place near their home or workplace.

Well Yahoo Pipes has fried my brain so it’s bed-time. # Lots of offers to do our CSS+XHTML work. Hurrah. Blogger publishing working (but messy). Figured out regexes in Yahoo pipes too. # Casio returned watch for fourth time rather than replacing it. Different fix this time. I wonder how long it’ll last before screwing up? # Off to Farran to talk to a dev. Back around lunch-time. # Not convinced by phonics/fonics.

Considered by many to be one of the best restaurants in Ulster.

We had eaten there several years ago when it was good but not awesome.

Finally caught up on sleep and RSS feeds. Today is all about testing, tweaking and deploying updates. And two restaurant reviews. # Mail from person looking to move from NY to Cork. Anyone know the suss with Social Worker jobs down here? Qualifications? Openings? # Looks like we now work with blogger (using old API on new Blogger) but formatting horrendous. Time to tweak not tweet. # From AOL - http://ficlets.

I just got a mail from someone thinking about re-locating from New York to Cork City. She asked what the job situation was like in Social Working. Any of my readers have knowledge in this area? Are there many jobs to be had? With who? In what areas? What qualifications do you need? Any equivalence given to foreign qualifications? Any pointers or useful sites they should check out? Thanks.

Cavan-Cork 4.5 hrs incl McD’s. New record. 8 people die over wkend yet only cops we see are on straight bit into Bandon. Disgraceful # I’m a juvenile delinquint. I just registered the username “rse” on twitter. So if you want to broadcast a message to me………. # Powered by Twitter Tools.
