KMFDM – A Drug Against War

Blogger visit to the Dáil. Thanks to the Green Party.

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

I know what you’re asking. Was he wearing sandals? No, no sandals but he still had his superpowers with him. A few bloggers and an unexpected 79 members of Boards.ie came along to the Dáil yesterday evening and got shown around the Houses of the Oireachtas by Ciarán Cuffe, after which we had a chinwag with John Gormley, Ciarán, Deidre De Burca (a very pretty lady I must say) and Damian from Green HQ. The conversation was mostly polite too but was far too short. Another time.

After that we headed to the public gallery to watch a vote or two. Jesus, but John O’Donoghue’s head could really explode soon. After that we headed off to the Dáil bar. Hilarious the way the bar is like some sectarian place where all the parties have their own sections. Is the Dáil always full of hacks and wannabe pols? I’m sure people will complain about the Greens trying to influence the bloggers or some bullshit like that. I can happily say I’m still not a fan of the Green Party, I respect a lot of what they do however and as someone who has already stated he was a fan of Ciarán, I’m a bigger fan now. So watch and learn Fianna Fáil, this is how you to “that thing with bloggers”.

Darragh has a far more detailed post here. Worth reading and looking at. Update: Post from Mark too.

Want a discount for the iQ BootCamp?

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

iQ Content have offered those that read Mulley.net a discount of 20% on tickets to their Bootcamp. This is probably the best web training event in Ireland every year and covers everything that a business that’s serious about the web needs.

So you get 20% tickets for this three-day event but because there is an early bird offer on right now, you can actually get a 40% discount. The event is on June 9th-11th 2009. I think I might be doing something at it too, not sure, if not I’ll still be going.

To avail of it all you need to do is enter Fluffy as the discount code when booking online.

Without the Enda voice

Friday, May 8th, 2009

If you look at this website from Fine Gael and read the message from Enda Kenny, can you read it without your brain doing the “Enda Voice”? I honestly can’t.

Alan Foran is now a-blogging.

Eddie Hobbs’ sham resignation.

The Evening Standard says sorry. How utterly interesting. Relaunching and moving away from their negative past?

Chart of time spent eating per day versus rate of obesity. I’m not sure I have any faith in this chart.

Just enough is more and toxic friends.

Obvious I suppose but good for those selling domains. Generic domains outperform non-generic domains in ads.

Going all the way to the Top in the Eiffel Tower.
