Wuhhsuup.

Well I'm still having some teething problems with my Linux but nothing that
can't be sorted. I might have given this link before but it is very interesting
http://www.archive.org/
, there you can view how your web page or any page looked like a long time ago.
On the archive page they have a link to http://september11.archive.org/
which is a page with all the news articles about the september 11th tragedy.
For those of you who don't know (I only found out a while back) that septhember
11 in erican date format reads 911, that being their emergency services phone
number. I see nobody has signed up for their own weblog ( well they haven't
told me if they have ). Get your ass in gear folks, I want something to read
too….till tomorrow I am an Ostrich

Linux and new hard disk.

I am now packing a whopping 70gb of storage space on mypc. I also have Linux
Suse 7.3 installed on one of the partitions. A great operating system !(and
cheap too which is always a good thing). I bough the new additional Maxtor hard
disk in PC world in Blanchardstown for €130 which is a good price for a 7200
r hard disk. Now all i have left to upgrade is memory, graphics, tv card,
sound card, processor …………………(ps. Dave if you think my news is
shit stop reading it.)..For those of you who wish to have your own news or
weblog as it is called, check out http://www.blogger.com/
. I have one set up already @ http://philroche.blogspot.com/
(which is the free hosting one) and I also have it set up on my redbrick server
@ http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~proche/index/weblog/blogger.html
. I suggest y'all sign up so that I'm not the only sad bastard writing news
everyday. sya.

Wel well well it has been a while

I've been dead busy in work and barely log on at home. so that is why the news
has been somewhat lack lustre. I stare at my monitor for more than 8 hours a
day easily and when I go outside my eyes physically hurt for about a minute (I
think I need glasses). I suppose I'll give a link : http://www.dynicdrive.com/
is a very good source of information on DHTML with plenty of exples. I also
found http://www.spadixbd.com/rafabot/
which lets you download complete websites, handy but you never know how big a
website can be. I tried to download http://www.networkmagazine.com/static/tutorial/index.html
and I was up to 100mb and it was nowhere near finished so i stopped. Also
beware pages with alot of Javascript do not perform well. I'd like to wish
Peter good luck in his cup final on Sunday….sya all [news will be frequent
from now on (hopefully)]

Ah lihhel suh in suh in.

Well Franks ankle seems to be ok which is good 'cos there is no way I'd do two
runs to asto park next week. Congrats to Ronan Daly who is finished his exs
this week some time. I've been slaving over the computer learning all new stuff
and I can honestly say that my brain is growing. On another note I found a
piece of wood in my wrap at dinner, everybody at the table thought that i was
messing untill the end of the meal when they saw it, I didn't complain as there
was no harm done and the meal only cost me Euro 4. We use Microsoft Outlook in
work for all email and timescheduling, It's a wonderful progr but sadly is
very resource happy and takes a good few milliseconds to perform tasks. Quote:

News is not personal enough claims Gary.

Big up to all y'all news readers. Well a lazy sunday today watching the
Grand-Prix, Will Schuey ever stop winning (not this was written before the end
of the race – just in case he doesn't win). I haven't had a chance to perfect
my PHP-FTP script but soon I'll have it availbale for use. Todays link is
suggested by Enda http://www.iei.ie/
, it's the institute of engineers of Ireland. Supposedly cheaper car insurance
for graduate engineers (only a year and a half left for me)……Quote for
today is : "Hercules, Hercules, Hercules"-[nutty professor]. Sya

News has been slack.

I've been busy trying to keep up with all the new stuff I'm learning in work so
that's why my news has been slack. You can see some of the testing pages I've
been working on at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~proche/Traintrack/
to see the xml-rpc in php and jscript I've worked on. ( I now have the se
xml-rpc working with ASP and VBScript [on intel Intranet though]). You can also
see the ASP,XML,XSL,XSLT,XPATH work I've done at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~proche/index/ASP/
.[all the above acronyms are explained at http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~proche/index/Acronyms_page.php
. I know I going to get stick for talking all 'techy' but it's interesting
stuff. All I know is that the bulk of my first pay check will be lining the
pockets of the pub owners of Dublins fair city……..Let's go Rasher……

It’s a different league now.

Meetings, deadlines, courses. It's not like college now I can tell you. It's a
good learning experience though, being thrown in at the deep end. Next week I
will be writing an application in a language I have never used before and using
a technology I have never even heard about. The site I found most useful
regarding new technologies in http://www.w3schools.com/
who are directly linked to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) so their
information is uptodate and concise. I have added a new page under the 'Links'
link on the side menu. This was meant to be for new links that I come accross
(instead of having to bookmark them). But for the moment it is a list of
acronyms of all the new stuff I learning, I will get this sorted now
fixed but for the mean time enjoy the acronyms. [check out http://www.acronymfinder.com/ if you have any acronyms that you need explaining]
