Neat; LJ Friendsmap.
Also neat; Mackers’ new dartmaps app.
Finally, Google Maps meets Dublin Trafic Cams.

As mentioned previously, my trip to Bangladesh has been postponed, not due to this news. If/when I go, it’ll probably be in the second week of September, returning on the third week, just before my two week trip to Canada - more on that anon.
[ Update ]
Reports seem to now say that there were between 300 and 400 bombs.
Saw Crash last night, it was really great. There’s been a bit of a drought cinema-wise recently but this has made up for it. It was nice to see Tony Danza and Marina Sirtis on the big screen (in brief roles)! Excellent performances from the entire cast. Crash is a well constructed, moving film that will probably be considered one of the best this year.
When I was in college, and later when working in HP, there was a breakfast combination I availed of that I called my Champion Breakfast. It was simply beans, hash browns and a fried egg. The carbohydratacular combination was really good for getting me through that day. Now that I don’t have a canteen near by I want to find a place that’ll give me the same ingredients in a roll, like a breakfast roll but without the breakfast animals. I’d rather go to a place the had veg. breakfast rolls on their menu because they’re more likely to have more than some shriveled sausages and rashers available. I live in Dublin 8 and walk to the office in Dublin 2, some place on the way or near would be preferred.
Suggestions for where I could get such a breakfast (roll) of champions in the city centre?
Save me lazy web, you’re my only hope. It’s too late for this morning but there will be other hungry mornings.

Funny story.
Had to ring up a supplier to ask for some E1 baluns. Supplier tells me he doens’t have any of those in stock, he only has G703 baluns. I tell him that E1 baluns are what I need and we end the conversation, he says he’ll contact his supplier to see if he can get any for me.
I reiterate the details of the call to the telco. engineer that sits beside me and he laughs and tells me that E1 and G703 are basically the same thing (for our purposes). Oh how they laughed (at me).
Funny is relative.
I like Usenet and there’s a couple of groups I’d like to read regularly. I don’t have ready access to a server that I can read and post to although I can sort that out with some leafnoding but that’s not the purpose of this post.
Thunderbird is a good news reader. I like the IMAP paradigm for mail reading - read a mail from any location and it stays read. If I was to use Thunderbird for reading news I wouldn’t get that same benefit, read a news article in work, it remains unread from home.
I know I could use slrn in a shell but that’s a solution I have working now and isn’t as much of a challenge.
What I’m thinking might be possible is some sort of SMTP-NNTP gateway where posts to a news group are put into a folder in my Maildir and have their reply-to header munged so that I could possibly use SMTP to make posts too via some kinda of magic hackery.
This is quite possibly a problem with a great pre-existing solution, heard of one?
You’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve stopped listening to Emo, for the moment, in favour of Kenny Rogers, the silver haired gent with the voice of an angel.
My trip to Bangladesh has been postponed until at least August 17th and maybe further pushed back and my bloody frustration about the whole trip has resulted in one “private” talk with my boss so far to see why I was being so grumpy. That I didn’t get a good nights sleep last or the previous night doesn’t help.
