Google maps come to Ireland ! Welcome to Harolds X , Saint Stephens Green and the Red Cow Roundabout.

Search isn’t great yet … but its cool all the same.

Don’t you just hate spam blogs ?

My technorati search on “google”

Obviously no PageRank algorithm in operation here. I wonder why that is?

tag:google gets me better results, but how long before spammers figure that one out (answer: 0 seconds)

Got a mail from Digiweb, they are increasing their bandwidth to bring it in line with the other providers.

Now if the would only half their prices.

It seemed obvious to me, but it seems that its starting to creep into the blogosphere – Structured Blogging. I was pretty disappointed not to see this kind of functionality built into Wordpress 1.5 core. But at least now there is a plugin. Structured data via RSS should be incredibly valuable. For example, you can do things like search all the blogs I read for reviews of
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid ?

I want Com. Reg. to make Broadband providers limit the length of Minimum Contracts to 6 months. That way I can shop around every six months, if I’m not happy. That will really move the market. If they argue that its not viable, because of cost of modems etc, fine I’ll buy my own modem.

In fact why stop at Broadband providers make all telecom providers do it.

[update: edit to change Reg. Com. to Com. Reg. , must have been tired ]
