Social Networking: It’s what Facebook is all about. Technology | (0)
I joined Facebook about two weeks ago, for the simple reason – everyone else was talking about it on their blogs - perhaps that is the key to the success of these sites, the more height profile bloggers that join the networking site, the more that try it out. The first thing I noticed, and this is probably just the artistic side of me, is that you cannot add your own colours or theme to the website, although, perhaps, this is because the target audience does not seem to be the teenage community that is Bebo. Having said this, you ...
More Televisions Channels added to Irelands Digital Pilot Service Technology | (0)
Minister Kileen believes that Ireland will adopt to digital terrestrial prior to the EU deadline of 2012, stating “I believe that Ireland must move much quicker than that. I expect the development of a national public service and commercial deployment of digital terrestrial TV services in mid 2008, to ensure that Ireland doesn’t get left behind in the coming broadcasting revolution,”. Richard Delevan would disagree with him though, he states in his most recent article: “Ireland has yet to produce anything like a sensible plan to move towards digital, and there will be plenty of arguing about how to get ...

Technology Snap Blog General, Technology | (0)
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. Some people claim that this is simply a random series of bad luck, some claim it’s the result of life pressures, but whatever the reason – technology Snap is not a pleasant experience. Here is my technology snap, feel free to share yours. This all happened together within a month - Spilt tea on my partners Nokia – the ...

Complete My Album Technology | (0)
Â As a user of iTunes the new â€˜Complete My Albumâ€™ program seems like a great idea, it has happened to me a number of times that I have purchased an song, only to decide I would like the album too, which basically means you are buying the same song twice, if you already have a particular song in that album, see below: â€œThanks to the â€œComplete My Albumâ€ feature, when you buy a single from the iTunes store, you get a 99Â¢ credit for each previously purchased song from that album.â€ More on this hereÂ Â :mrgreen:Â SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Complete My Album", url: "http://johnmryan.com/technology/complete-my-album/" });

Twitter Technology | (2)
I love all these words that the net keeps coming up with. Flickr, bebo, skypeâ€¦ and so on. Regardless of the name, some of them serve a purpose, and some of them are a bit of fun. And then there are those, where you wonder, is there really a use for this, and why would I need it? So what is Twitter? Without referring to the site itself, to find out what they say their latest service is about, here is my opinion of what it does. Twitter tells people what youâ€™re up to right now, and what you were up to ...
Irish Bloggers: Whats your vacation day? Technology | (0)
Mark over at weblogtoolscollection.com writes that Sunday is their Blog Holiday/vacation day, so it got me wondering what do Irish Bloggers take as their day off. Myself, I never write posts at weekends, nor do I read blogs at weekends. But I rarely write a post every day either? So what day do you take off (If any any)? Some people take the weekends to backup, update wordpress or CMS to the latest version, decide on next weeks topics, or browse through the Feed reader! And believe it or not some people even go out at the weekends!!!!SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Irish Bloggers: ...
