Summer Trip to Europe is Off!!

If you have read my blogs you would have seen one detailing my planned trip to Europe this summer. Unfortunately i wont be going, Im 3 months pregnant so it would be rather inappropriate!!! Its been tough coming to the end of an honours degree with morning sickness and unbelievable tiredness so i think 2 months of festivals will kill me!!! Anyway its not the end of the world its just one summer and i can drag my little family along with me to many more in the future..!

Final Days of College!!!!!

Finish up in college forever this week and it still couldn't be sooner!!! I enjoyed the years in Dundalk met great people and had brillliant times but never again will i step into a classroom its been long, tough and im glad its over....four years literally working 7 days a week and nothing to show but a piece of paper and i haven't even got that yet!!! I dont know why i ever started and remained in this course, Hospitality Management, i would of learned more valuable stuff if i had followed my gut and studied through the industry, id probably be years ahead of myself now but i stayed because ' iv gone this far'!!! Well its over so good luck to all my classmates and i hope we all enjoy a better future from this.

Web Standards

Web Standards is a relatively new type of rules set for website design...Like the rules of the road the standards aren't quite legislation but its ethical and appropriate to follow them..developed by the non profit organisation World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as guidelines to how webpages should be standardised for instance any person without discrimination (blind, Deaf etc) can use the site...to learn more visit the W3C website.

Search Engine Optimisation

Search Engine Optimsation is what a company uses to increase traffic through its website. Its based around keywords, image searches or industry specific seaches etc. Search Engine Otimisation can help improve awareness of your company or webpage, it is often found that when a word, company or anything is entered into a search engine generally it is the first couple of websites listed that are clicked on by the user. However now websites can pay, Google etc to be on the top of the list so your not guaranteed to get the best quality website anymore!!

Mobile phones linked with customer databases

Recently in my job we have started to use customer mobile phone numbers to aid advertising of certain events. I work in a restaurant called The Vanilla Pod, what we are doing is when we bring customers their bill a card in which they fill in their details (name, mobile numbers etc) is attachached. The information we recieve is passed up to administartion on a weekly basis and stored in a database.
Its a usefull tool to us in a busy restaurant because a lot of our customers are regulars and our kept up to date with events such as wine tastings and save us workers time on the telephone explaning all these details.
Its a new convienient tool for us and so far in its 4 months of implementation has been successful and long may it continue.

Finally men get there dues!!!

Il let this website speak for itself, can i just say its about time men got their day of apprieciation March 14th,click this link and you will understand, Show some love for the man !!!

Rave Rave Rave......eh for babies???

Just heard about this new craze hitting Ireland, Babes Raves , Basically its a rave for kids between 0-4 years...How bizarre is that!!! But it does sort of make sense a lot of these young kiddies have young kiddie mammies who may not get the chance to rave on all night like they used to, so now they can bring the kids!!!! Its not an all night party its during the day so no need to call the Social Workers yet!!!! Imagine it though, it would be so funny, im bringing my niece on friday!!!! RAVE ON!!!!

Virtal Communities

Communites in Cyber Space are increasingly becoming part of many peoples daily lives. Atracting young and old, sites such as Facebook, Bebo and Second Life have huge membership numbers and almost anyone can join.

Generally the sites are used for making friends, keeping in touch with friends and also locating friends whom you lose contact with. Its a kind of social network on a global basis. It can also be like a club were the members have similar interests for example Arsenal fans discussing the latest win on the teams Bebo page or a bands new album release.

I am a member of Bebo, i became a member as all my friends are scattered across Ireland and the world. We use the site to keep contact, not only through chatting but uploading recent pictures,videos,new music etc. I think its great for keeping contact i can regularly check on my sisters progress in Australia and see her too. However its novelty is beginning to ware off on me, i dont really bother updating my page anynore just use it to send messages and look at others pages instead.

I would recommend joining one but only if your on the same one as your age group or your interest group but all in all we like it very much indeed!!

Super Furry Animals

This is a song from the best greatest hits album I ever heard. The song is called 'Hello Sunshine' by the Super Furry Animals. The album is called Songbook and the coolest thing is that the Cd cover is a popup book. I highly recommend this album to music lovers so check them out....SFA OK!!!!

Bon Voyage....!!!!

Started saving for my trip tp the continent this summer. Me and my 2 friends are headin in June for 3 months to 'do' all the festivals we possibilly can.. we're probably goin to go in this order....1st head to ibiza for a weekend to kick start the party, then on to The Benecasim Festival, Spain for 9 days, then on to Nice Jazz Festival in France...Rock am Ring in Germany...Sziget in Bulgaria...well thats all so far have to do more research. Trying to get tickets to Glastonbury too but chances are slim and then home in time for the Electric Picnic in September....cant wait!!!!

Up the Dubs!!!!!!

We are the Dubs and we are the best!!!!! Dublin won the O'Byrne cup at the weekend thanks to the legend Jayo Sherlocks 2 injury time goals...it was gripping stuff!!!
Now this particular cup isn't exactly prestigious but it will do till we are crowned All Ireland Champions anyway...its been two years of nearly never getting to the final this year we will make it and we will win i feel it in my bones....
However it is the will of the bogger people in this country that is holding Dublin back....every time we play the whole country wants dem jackeens to lose and the will of millions of people is the cause of our downfall in matches...no matter how good we are we cannot compete with combined will!!!!
So i urge all you non Dubs when your team are knocked out to support the Dubs and maybe someone other than Kerry or Cork could have some glory in the football....Come on people!!!!!!

COME ON U BOYS IN BLUE!!!!!!!!!

The Viper Got Shot

A infamous drug dealer known as The Viper was shot the other day which has started off old debate about drugs and how the goverment should deal with these organised crime types.
I think we should just legalise so then the goverment can have some control over the situation. Also instead of using tax payers money rehabilitaing and targeting drug dealers they could make money through taxing the drugs and put all these muppets out of business.
However its never going to happen and its probably imposssible to implement anyway...thats my thoughts on the subject anyway!!

The Tangerine Party Machine is Dead!!!!!

The lovely orange Fiat Punto I was going to fix up to drive to college is dead....after having it serviced and looked over it, my mechanic discovered another problem with the engine and told me to forget it its....'no good buy a new one'......so im distraught we had some good times in that car now its RIP for The Tangerine Party Machine....but she has company in betsey in that big scrap heap in the sky!!!!!
