Updated layout

Just made some changes to the layout of my blog thanks to some new features provided by Blogger...

Main changes are:
  • Cleaner layout for users
  • New mobile-optimised layout
  • Removal of stale links and broken content
Really like the new features and the much improved tools for bloggers. The writing and editing environment is much better than what existed before.

So I've been trying to get my picasa albums displayed in the sidebar for a while now... as yes - i finally have it working... more later... so this week I've been a little idle but I've made up for it by spend^H^H^H^H^Hwasting my time on social networking websites. I've finally given in and joined myspace because some people find that it's uptime is so much better than other messaging providers that use standard-based messaging systems like SMTP (email). I have 11 friends already which isn't half bad for being 20hrs-old myspace-virgin. ;) One thing that bugged me about blogger for a while was that you couldn't easily add content to the sidebar from other sites... since i last checked though Blogger have lauched a better page layout editor (myspace sucks in this field too btw) which is pretty easy to use. Thanks to the folk on the blogger discussion list at work (yes - working at Google does have it's advantages) I have managed to add my picasaweb albums...

Vodafone Ireland: Workaround for network issues on live.vodafone.com APN

Vodafone Ireland have a known issue with their network configuration that impacts access to reddit.com for their customers. This issue has existed for at least 3 years.

Hard Working Class Heroes '08

Hard Working Class Heroes '08 is on 12-14 September and competes with the Fringe festival. What's more, ticket prices are up some 100% since 2006. A weekend ticket through ticketmaster.ie is €44.98. According to nialler.com (currently down), the weekend ticket price in 2006 was just €22.50 (if bought directly from the festival folk). Single-day tickets have also seen a similar increase. In 2006, "80 plus bands from Ireland with six acts from Canada largely represent the indie / indie rock genre with a very small amount of artists classed as other genres such as electronica (not a gritty Irish hip hop act in sight)...". In 2008, the approach to band selection hasn't changed much and I would argue that you're comparing like-with-like. Yes - they have added some additional elements like a photo exhibition, but this hardly justifies the large increase. Ticket prices are rising dramatically and it just doesn't make sense... MCD and Aiken claim that the live ev...
