My kids walk frequently if the weather's reasonable (is that an oxymoron?), but do have to cross three roads. The last crossing has a lollipop lady but the other two are on traffic lights. My experience is that illegal parking is far more likely to attract the attention of the local Gardai than jumping a red light - I would dearly love to see them reverse that bias.

On my work WLAN I was able to get to the internet by manually entering the DHCP server IP. Or at least that seems to be what got it connected finally. (...)

Got it through dabs4work.ie. Cost about 250 before VAT. Ordered with some other stuff so shipping didn't figure. Want a light mobile device to let me out of the office a little more (Hiding from pesky network users). (...)

I have the same bike that they used in Long Way Down. Great in Dublin traffic ;)
-
Exactly how I felt about it. I've never had a sportsbike, just the big traillie type so you can go pretty much anywhere you want without stopping at every petrol station on the way. (...)

That all sounds quite negative, but I've been riding a motorbike now for 8 years and find it very rewarding - predictable low-stress commuting, touring over the summer, very friendly community. Sold the car last year and upgraded the bike. (...)

It has gotten harder in recent times. I think you can ride a moped on a car license, but to get an A license you must start form scratch - go through the hi-viz jacket, theory test etc.. The test used to be a joke - ride around the block 3 times do a u-turn and ride back while the tester tried to follow in a car, but I believe they now use radio to tell you where to go and what to do and it has become far more detailed. For good reasons too - Good training is a must these days with the volumes of traffic around. (...)

BTW, coverage for O2 within the Glen of Aherlow is next to useless.

Spotted Moroney's alright. The owner is a bit of a character, but responsible for the local forest tracks so a man to treat with respect when you want to take 24 large motorbikes over the local trails. (...)

My twins share the screen so it has to have a reasonable size to avoid rows, or at least further rows after the 'what movie to watch' argument. Had meant to get a second player but never got around to it.
-
I got a Philips one at the airport duty free last year. About €100. It's a DVD player rather than a 'media' player but works well for long drives to Kerry. Now, I know the soundtrack to a whole lot of movies but don't know if it's people or puppies talking. (...)

Glad to see it went well, Denis. Good luck on the next round.

I imagine you'd have to allow some effort/time to train clients on how to navigate the various options that bugzilla presents. (...)
-
I've used bugzilla as a bug tracking tool in the past. I found it pretty overwhelming in terms of options, buttons and ticks as an end-user. I had no involvement in the setup or hosting end. (...)

I'm using one of the older ones (the white mouse-like one) with a Macbook. Sometimes temperamental in recognising the device on startup but generally works ok.

If you call O2 cust service or any O2 retail outlook they can tell you.

That stretch of road seems to have its fair share of crashes. I've had to bypass it on the way to Kerry about 3 times in the past year due to accidents.

PSP is the Playstation Portable, I think? (...)

I like some of the Guardian podcasts: Science Weekly and Tech weekly. MacBreak Weekly from Leo Laporte also a regular on my iPod.
-
I have a TwiT fleece - lots of geeky holes for iPods and stuff. Though most people find the word Twit embossed on your chest a little strange.

Can't listen now just now, but will later.

@evertb was feeling old this morning, but if he listened to you he may have felt younger ;)
