Woohoo!

Still haven’t managed to find anywhere selling Season 3 in europe besides some quite dodgy looking characters on eBay. Also, it looks like they won’t be releasing seasons 3 or 4 on region 2 at all – the above is region 1. (continue reading…)
Bigotry Parade comes to town tomorrow
by Steve on Feb.24, 2006, under Bell-ends, Ireland, News, Politics
Everyone’s favourite asshats from north of the border are coming to Dublin tomorrow to have one of their classy march-through-areas-where-nobody-wants-you marches. I’m sure what they really want out of this is to have some violence directed their way and use that as a political football. That said, I still would not be disappointed to see a few piss-filled water balloons launched at them.
I’m back.

Yep, back from Middlesbrough. The flight home last night was awful – late night Ryanair from Newcastle, full of well-tanked pissheads on their way to stag/hen nights in Dublin. For a city roughly similar in size to Cork, Middlesbrough is bloody quiet at night.
Great new Gmail feature
by Steve on Feb.23, 2006, under Nerdism
Hot on the heels of integrating Google Talk into Gmail, Google has now launched a mobile version of Gmail, allowing you to read your gmail on mobile phones, PDA’s, PSP’s, and anything else with a restrictively small screen or limited browser. Point your mobile device at http://m.gmail.com to use it.
p.s. I’m not quite back… flying home tonight.
Seeya later

I’ll be gone for most of the week as I’m travelling for work, so there probably won’t be much of anything posted here until I’m back.
New Maddox

Something new on Maddox’s site for the first time in ages – How to spot a pedo. Very amusing.
New phone
by Steve on Feb.16, 2006, under Nerdism, Real Life™
Got my new (well, used) phone from eBay in the post yesterday, and am most impressed with it. Its a Sony Ericsson K750i, with a 2 megapixel camera. Beats the crap out of the VGA camera in my old phone! Being second hand though, the guy sold it to me without a memory stick, so i’ve “borrowed” the one from my PSP while I wait for a cheap 256mb one to be delivered for the phone.
Sinn Féin’s latest election technique…
by Steve on Feb.13, 2006, under Ireland, Politics, Television
…Teresa Ferris (yes, a relative of IRA scumbag and Kerry TD, Martin Ferris), “appearing” on the Late Late Show. Mary-Lou must be shaking in her boots.
Update: Here’s a much higher quality picture, again from boards.ie.
My Name Is Earl
by Steve on Feb.13, 2006, under Humour, Television
What a great show. This is the best sitcom to come out of America since Scrubs – lack of canned laughter is always a good sign. If you get the opportunity to watch an episode of this in the near future, do it – I highly recommend it. There’s a lot of recognisable faces in it too, such as Jason Lee (Cheeky bastard ‘Brody’ from Mallrats), Jaime Pressly (super hot cheerleader and bitch from Not Another Teen Movie and countless other films) and Ethan Suplee (big fat nazi from American History X).
