Thanks guys! We downloaded it here and our initial impression is that the quality of the video is very noticeably better. It also has a host of features to play with. Keep the tech stuff coming as it is very useful - especially the free stuff!

Tech stuff: Many of you may be using VLC media player for looking at videos. It is the one with the little orange and white traffic cone as an icon. It has been updated and you may want to download the latest version (3.0.0), free, from videolan.org However.....



Two great sites guys. Thanks for those. I used the second one to find a manual for an old version of a washing machine. Found it in 30 seconds. Thanks again.

Some of our followers have asked if our IT headbangers could post useful tips from time to time. We did a few in the past and then stopped - for no real reason. So, once or twice a week we will do so again. (see next post)



It is interesting that one is allowed to fish here. Imagine trying to do that in Stephen's Green! It is not all that many years ago that the Lough was decimated of fish when Eastern Europeans fished it at an almost industrial scale. The ducks and geese were not that safe either

From this morning in Cork at The Lough @corkcitycouncil (public amenity area with ducks and geese) - nice spot. I'm just not so sure what it says about the women who frequent the area 😂

Originally Werburgh's had a steeple (two versions actually). British authorities were suspicious of the tower as it overlooked their seat of power in Dublin castle, so between 1810 and 1836 it was removed. It can be seen in the centre of Malton's print of the Castle.

Please forgive the retweet. We are trying to get the bottom of a glitch in twitter.

John Field (1782-1837) was a Dublin born pianist, composer, and teacher. He is best known as the inventor of the nocturne, but this is not certain. He was highly regarded by his contemporaries and he influenced many major composers, including Chopin, Brahms, Schumann, and Liszt.

Well it's that time of the year again. Unfortunately. The man responsible for little Oscar, is Cedric Gibbons (1893-1960) from Dublin, who became MGMs Art Director. It was he, who designed the statuette. Cedric was one of he most important art directors in history.

The tree symbolises growth under careful management, & the building the role of the Central Bank in protecting the wealth of the country - something they have made a complete arse of. The bank has now moved but they have left the tree as they feel uneasy about the representation.
