US and WiFi Blog General, Issues | (1)
The US is now monitoring WiFi users under a new approved Bill that forces anyone operating a public WiFi connection to report illegal images sent or received over the network. There are a few things I don’t understand about this, but I am surprised that this bill was passed so quickly, well maybe not when you consider this (from RTE News) “The Safe Act was passed in the House of Representatives by 409 votes to two. Law makers used a system designed to push legislation through quickly which meant that it did not receive a hearing, was not voted on in ...

Today I decided, ‘why not give another search company a chance’, I only use Google, because I am so familiar with it, and to change search providers would be an inconvenience, so I said today I will change my default provider to ‘Live Search’. So I went into internet explorer and changed my settings to Live search, and clicked ok, but for some reason it continued using Google and ignored my request, then one of those little pop up balloons informed me that Google had blocked my request, and this window ( see above) popped up. Now, as you know ...

Technology Snap – happens to everyone… even thought it’s a term I made up myself, just five minutes ago! A Technology Snap is when you suddenly get a spout of very back luck - when it comes to technology. Things start to go wrong.

Limerick Rant Blog General, Issues | (0)
Once a month I am back in Limerick City â€“ and can I say I love the work that is going on, there seems to be a new development â€“ or a new street even (HAHA). Just take a look at what the junction of Henry Street and Bedford Row â€“ is going to look like, one draw back would seem to be that the new street pavement seems to be very badly damaged by dirt â€“ which looks really stuck in â€“ I hope they can resolve this quickly as it does take from all the hard work that ...
