Sibéal Mary Rose O'Neill
Only 6 weeks late with this posting, but we are overjoyed to announce the birth of Sibéal Mary Rose O’Neill in St. Finbarr’s Hospital, Cork on October 31st. A fab wee sister for the other two monsters. Apart from sleep deprivation, all are doing brilliantly.

Leaving Advanticus
Sadly, as of Tuesday, I am no longer part of Advanticus Technologies. Considering the state of the world economy, the business has been doing quite well, but personal financial circumstances mean that I can no longer afford to keep going. I’m sure the remaining founders will make a big success of it and I wish them all the best.

Virus Attacks
We recently got hit by the Bugbear virus. As a result I installed MailScanner, SpamAssassin and Razor on our work mail server and they now scan and process all incoming and outgoing mail. I can’t recommend this trio of tools highly enough. Not only did they catch further BugBear hits, they also tag over 90% of the spam I receive so I can filter to trash. Go get em!

Old Engineers Reunion Piccies (UCD Class of 1990)
I met Dee O’Brolcháin at a housewarming at the weekend and she pointed out that quite a few people didn’t know about the Engineers 10 year reunion piccies on this site. Thanks to her efforts, they do now.

IrishWan.org
I’ve just found out about IrishWan.org. This is a fantastic idea leveraging 802.11b technology to creat wireless WANs across cities and towns in Ireland. By connecting the Access Points to ADSL, the potential for reducing internet access cost in Ireland by sharing bandwidth and fees is huge. I must dust off the AP I have at home and see about getting myself an omnidirectional antenna. Anyone with wireless equipment and/or ADSL should get involved here.
