Unfortunate
-My external Hard Drive died last night taking all my photos, music and podcasts-in-progress with it. This is unfortunate. -I have an Irish exam to sit on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Tuppenceworth.ie 02: The Farm at Lezaven, Finistere by Roderic O’Connor and The Wave by Nathaniel Hone
This week (ok, fortnight) the podcast takes in two paintings by Irish Artists influenced by the French Impressionists and working in the 1890s. Conveniently, The Farm at Lezaven, Finistere by Roderic O'Connor and The Wave by Nathaniel Hone hang right beside each other. They're both to be found in Room 19, Milltown Wing of the National Gallery of Ireland.
Deadly Wages Reborn Online
At the beginning of May, I wrote about the Irish Literary Revival Site, where Irish authors make pdfs of their out of print books available for free download.

A Vignette From Dr. Neary’s Heyday
Miss Fitz was a student midwife in Lourdes hospital while Dr Neary was the consultant there. I recall so vividly a day that this man was going to do the ward rounds. Well in advance, we were sent around to all the women, whose beds formed a U-shape down the walls and across the bottom.
More Poetry
Yes, yes, I’m two days late, even taking into account the fact that I pushed poetry day back to Tuesday. No excuses for such tardiness are acceptable, which is just as well, as none are forthcoming. My appetite whetted by reading some of their poems in anthologies, next on my list of poets to read are Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, two American poets of the middle century.
What the CMP/O’Reilly Web 2.0 Trademark really means
Ok, I promise that this will be my last post on this. I just wanted to outline the reality of the attempt by CMP, supported by their partners O'Reilly, to Trademark the use of the phrase 'Web 2. 0'.
Community Trade Mark Law
In passing, I thought I'd share this piece of UK legislation with you. Trade Marks Act 1994Section 3 (1) (d) [the following shall not be registered].
