Spend 5 minutes looking at this great Video on internet copyrights which explains everything in terms we can all understand.
Basically it explains to you what all of these SOPA, ACTA etc. internet related laws are trying to achieve and why people are against them.
A screen grab from the Irish TD (Seán Sherlock) who is about to pass a law that can cause any website that has copyrighted content, or even a link to copyrighted info, to be shut down. However using the new law his own site should be shut down for violating copyright. These guy have no idea what they are doing.
If you are in Ireland email your local TD or even if you are not you can sign the online petition
So it turns out Lorri is a natural at snowboarding. Me however not so much. Not only can I not go downhill for more than 10 seconds before falling and hurting my arse but I cant even stand up again without assistance. I’m going to keep at it anyway and Lorri loves it so it’s all good. It’ll be good craic once we get the hang of it I’d say. Check out my snowboarding album below (Click to expand). At the time of writing it’s pretty small but I’ll ad to it. I also plan on adding some videos so check out my video section in the future for live action shots of me crashing and burning.
Gong Hei Fat Choi! This year for the Lunar New Year celebrated in China, Korea and Vietnam, we had a Chinese Lion in the office in VMware.
Man I hate soccer. The worlds most overrated game to watch. Over payed players. Boring 0 – 0 results. On TV constantly. Diving and feigning injury. Impossible to avoid. Impossible to enjoy.
I gave my girlfriend Lorri a tablet for Christmas.
I said “I got you an Asus Transformer. It’s a tablet running Android with

• E-compass
• light sensor
• gyroscope
• SD Card
• miniSD card
• 2 processors

Her response “It’s so pretty. It looks like a clutch bag”.
Women!
I love my android. And I love podcasts. I often listen to them in my car on my way to and from work. I find it makes my commute go a lot faster when I’m listening to stuff I’m actually interested in. The problem I have however is that most sites make their podcasts available on iTunes only, which doesn’t work with android.
What is doubly annoying is that iTunes doesn’t actually store the podcasts, they are stored on another site. iTunes is in fact just a directory of podcasts. So if the people who make the podcasts just gave us the original link to the site they are using to actually store the podcasts I could easily add them to my android or any non-apple device for that matter. It’s really annoying!
Luckily the website http://itunes.so-nik.com/ allows you to simply paste in the iTunes URL and it finds the back end website URL that you can add to your android. Sorted!
I don’t know why but every time I look at this I start laughing. I mean every time. Normally things get old after 4 or 5 watches but this simply isn’t happening with this video.
I miss Germany. Driving on roads with no speed limit is exactly as much fun as it sounds. This is what the Police over there have to keep up with people.
