Google SketchUp - free and (relatively) easy 3D modelling for the unwashed masses! Currently only available for Windows, but apparently a Mac OS version is in the pipeline. All it will cost you is… whatever downloading 19MB costs you… time? I’m quite impressed.
The 2006 Smithwick’s Cat Laughs Festival has finally been announced with details of the full lineup available over at their site. It doesn’t look quite as good as last year but it will be great craic as ever.
You can download the full programme of events in PDF format from the Cat Laughs site also.

Because I’ve been busy…
So in short, I haven’t had much time to spent farting about here. The garage gave me the use of a Hyundai Accent 1.3 for the day whilst they had my Coupe in (sunroof needed fixing).

Damn this song is catchy. The song in question is ‘Crazy‘, by Gnarls Barkley (aka DJ Dangermouse and Cee-Lo), currently topping the charts (*spit*) in both the UK and Ireland and probably several other countries too.
Top tune.
I just made a deal and shook hands with a local motor dealer, for this:
Its a 1.6 litre Hyundai Coupe FX. Much as I would have liked a 2 litre version, its uninsurable for me. Got a fairly decent trade in price for my ‘00 Fiesta too. I’ll have it midweek sometime \o/
