Art, media, opinion and ideas
BelmulletOriginally uploaded by Conor LawlessDuring August of this year I wrote a blizzard of letters for clients of McGarr Solicitors who were worried about their crab fishing pots. As it turned out, they had good reason to be worried. Traditionally, August is the middle of the Long Vacation, and therefore ought to be a sleepy time for law firms.
I'll be on the Tubridy Show again tomorrow morning, sometime not long after the 9 O'Clock News, talking internet libel and such, and touching on some recent novel uses of the web by parties in divorce proceedings.
I'll be on this morning's Tubridy Show on RTE Radio one with Richard Delevan, late of the Sunday Tribune. The topic we've been set, like the leaving cert essay, to discuss is 'Political Hactivism'. UPDATE: The discussion can be heard here (Realplayer link) from 49 minutes in.
For those who may have missed it, here is a link to the discussion on the merits of blogging from this morning.
After yesterday's catastrophe I have revised and improved my Nokia N800's relationship with the workings of this site. How scientific of me. Also, I have injured myself on a piece of broken pavement resulting in an unplanned period of immobility.
Some notes from my technology slot on the Right Hook. I like the radio, more than almost all television at this stage. I've hardly started to explore the wealth of shows that are available, but I'm already a fan of New York PBS station WNYC.
Above and beyond the call of duty, Conor O'Neill of Loudervoice gave me a call today to explain how to force Twitter to quit its playacting and let me finish jumping through the hoops to get people's texted eaterie reviews from their phones to the new Eateries blog.
I'm looking for a way of taking in an RSS feed which requires authentication and outputting an RSS feed which doesn't. I can't programme, or install anything complicated. I know Planet, a feed aggregator, can do this but it is beyond my skills to set it up.
Working on a new idea, for the Right Hook. Have set up a twitter a/c called Eateries. People can text it recommendations of, well, eateries.
I'm standing in for Karlin on the Right Hook's Technology slot next Monday. I thought I'd throw out an invite- if anyone thinks there's something I ought to cover or introduce to George's 80,000 or so listeners, leave a message. Make sure that a non-technical Classics graduate such as myself can understand it.
