NeoOffice is basically a snapshot of Open Office that runs natively in OS X without X11 (even on Tiger). Also I think I remember hearing that the latest version of OO for Mac no longer requires X11 either? Thursday, 27 March 2008

It is a good series, and I like a lot of his stuff. I think in general, he is funny, although Joy in the Hood flopped badly. -
I agree with what Damien originally had to say, and it wasn't Jaiku-bashing. If there was a Twitter vs Jaiku deathmatch, it was started on this thread right here. Boiling down to which is technically better, then yes it is Jaiku. But how can you argue the fact that the social network is where the people are? It's nothing to do with elitism, it's to do with the buzz. On Twitter there are lots of new people joining the conversation at all times. It's nothing to do with Scoble and Jason Calacanis and all that web 2.0 stuff - that does not come into the equation for me at all. It's all the Irish people and tech guys and the snippets of information, banter, funny one-liners, etc. (...) Wednesday, 12 March 2008

"Bulletproof Web Design" is a good one. Sunday, 9 March 2008

First time at McDonalds in almost a year but it got a thumbs down from me. Not a fan of the ciabatta and there was some strange aftertaste. (don't say it) -
Think I've got through with my just library card before. Sunday, 10 February 2008

"Delivers on business or technology objectives" - could you make that a bit more vague please? I have lots of stories of how open coffee Cork has assisted me and my business - from discussions about obscure applications of Python Imaging Library from other tech startups who are using this technology, to introductions with freelance programmers, and free legal advice. Let me know if you want me to write an essay on it. By the way, don't underestimate that "notion of community" either. -
I don't know what you're getting at Paul, what are the criteria for a worthwhile networking event for start-ups? Open Coffee ticks more than enough boxes to merit a mention in SBP. Saturday, 2 February 2008

Got a tiny bit left over from yesterday in Donoughmore, Co. Cork. Yesterday my house (on top of the hill) got a solid 1", but 300m down the road in any direction didn't. Tuesday, 22 January 2008

@runningwithbulls same thing happened to me last year. They took my stereo, they left behind an Alpine iPod adapter (worth €100+ - I guess they didn't know what it was). They searched even the spare tyre compartment in the boot but they never found the iPod itself was hidden in a a drawer under the steering wheel that isn't too easy to notice. I'm sorry to say I bent the door back in place and went to work. Called the police but didn't want to take the time off to bring the car to the station. Monday, 21 January 2008

Cool... I'll hold off on the signup because there are a load of events on that week and I'll have to pick and choose which ones to go to based on the speakers/sessions planned. Looks like Creative Camp has the best venue though! -
Ken, are you organising this event? Might be attending this with a colleague. -
The iSight records a nice picture alright, tried it out on my Macbook Pro and on the iMac - good sound on the Microphone too. How do I find a link to my public profile? -
Got an account but haven't even used it aside from taking a look around. Friday, 18 January 2008

My 7 year old Inspiron has been in bits since 2005. I still managed to use it at work for a full year but I got fed up getting cut by bits of sharp metal hanging out of the bottom (some panel was missing), having to repeatedly bang the laptop hard to get the screen to stop flickering, having to tape the power cord back together, having a few missing keys, no sound out of speakers (only headphones) no trackpad or mouse thingy. Was a great laptop in its heyday though. Wednesday, 16 January 2008

Cool, thanks -

Hey Conor, hate to operate outside tech support so feel free to ignore this but it didn't pick up my Twitter review either. did I do something wrong here: http://twitter.com/jgalvin/statuses/5925... ? (I added my Twitter RSS to my LV account) -
Exactly... and much (much€€€) more expensive too. Trying to decide whether or not it is worth it. -
Always assumed you were a vi man. -
I often have 3 separate windows with ~20 tabs in each. That's about my limit though, anymore than that and I 'close all' whether I'm finished or not and start over. Monday, 14 January 2008

Don't know @CiaranR - I assumed that was for when someone sends you a private message only. Have enabled that now anyway to see. -
There's no way I could keep up with SMS alerts. I'm a bit of an obsessive compulsive when it comes to unread emails or text messages - I cannot rest while I still have an unread email (even in the Junk folder). I have notify=off and check everything through the web. I would like to be able to set it so that any message with @jgalvin in it goes through to my phone, but that doesn't seem to be an option. -
Used NetNewsWire Lite for a long time but was never happy with it. Switched to Vienna, hated that too. Sunday, 13 January 2008

97wpm for me. Top speed 134wpm - got lucky with a lot of real words. -
Wow, that website is painful. -
Shit, thought I was on Twitter
