Department expense database via Gavin's Blog March 12th, 2010 at 19:06

image [Crossposted to thestory.ie] Readers may recall a blog post I wrote back in December detailing my dealings with the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism (DAST). After gleaning information from the footers of Ken Foxe’s FOIs concerning John O’Donoghue, I established that the Department was using Oracle iExpense software to store expenses information. I wrote an FOI request in October asking for a ‘datadump’, of the entire database since inception (in other words, a copy of the database). The Department refused both the original request and the appeal for internal review (conducted by a more senior official in the Department). In January I appealed the decision to the Office of the Information Commissioner. The request, internal review and appeal have cost a...

The Criterion via Munster Pubs March 12th, 2010 at 00:04

I visited this very homely bar a while back. The Criterion is in Passage West, Co Cork. I had a few pints here and must say that the Murphy’s on tap here is top quality. Five of us headed in on the night and two of the gang are regulars. We got a seat to the left inside the door. There was a band playing on the night and they were good. The pub itself is small with loads of character. We met with the owner and she was very friendly and even offered us a lift home which was politely declined but very much appreciated. There was a great atmosphere on the night we were there. I found the toilets to be in very good condition on checking. No complaints about them. Overall i found the staff and other patrons to be chatty and friendly and a retun visit is inevitable i imagine....

Nokia support is indescribable, really indescribable. via Branedy March 11th, 2010 at 20:14

What can say Nokia support is indescribable, as in not available. I have an New Nokia N900 purchased through Expansys U.K. Which shipped it to me, from london (as in U.K.) but it turns out it was acquired by them from the U.S. and Nokia Europe does NOT service (as in repair) Nokia handsets that are sold by Nokia U.S. in the U.S. Ok, What? Nokia will NOT service Nokia handsets because it’s a U.S. Nokia warrantee and not a E.U. Nokia warrantee. It’s a Nokia, and it’s a their warrantee! BIG FAIL, NOKIA! Now I have to ship my phone to the U.S. to find warrantee service on my NOKIA Phone!...

image Jesus, you’d swear I was at the Oscar’s themselves last Sunday after the week that’s gone by! I clambered into bed Monday morning at a few minutes close to 6am and was up again in a few hours to make a baby scan appointment with Ger, for 10am. So feck all sleep basically! Monday night, show wise, for me was a long one! By the end of the show, I was feckered altogether. Without sounding like a drama queen, I thought I was gonna vomit on the way home! Tired sickness anyone? Tuesday was another one, but at least I caught up with some sleep and Wednesday and today were spent staring at Matt Damon in Green Zone and Leo the Cap in Shutter Island in between doing other show stuff! And tomorrow, of course is a day / night off. Except the bastard sunshine has come out and you know...

Also, Ghost Estates as Gaeilge: “Eastáit na Si” or “Fairy Estates” is, of course, open to misinterpretation in today’s sexually-oriented parlance, but is an elegant Gaelicisation of this modern landmark feature and can be linked to the longstanding regard in which the Irish have held the “little people” or those from an “domhan eile”.

The Sky is Blue, the Sun Exists, and the Ceiling is Beige… via Close Watch March 8th, 2010 at 15:47

And hopefully the revelations will continue to accrue now that the burst of creativity that gripped me and Soltan in the first two months of this year is spent and I'm not up editing all night, every night. Not sure what Soltan's up to these days. Cagey chap at the best of times.Just to bring things up to date since the last entry... February saw the completion of five further videos. Light / Sound was made with the amazing Vicky Langan. It chronicles a sonic encounter between Vicky, out hunting for sound with her recording apparatus, and a noble and ancient 35mm projector.The other videos are shorter, more sketch-like pieces:Monologue shatters an actress' performance into stuttering fragments, calling on the audience's collective familiarity with cinematic conventions to propose content....
