Evicted!!!
May 15, 2008
Today I was approached by the Town Council who told me that they were informed that I was going to Australia next weekend. So, I am being evicted.
I know who informed them too. Wouldn’t take much to figure that out. It was a former friend and the people he lives with.
Well, fuck face, let me tell you this much. There’ll be a little surprise for the fucking lot of ye in a few weeks. You fucking scum bag!

Irish PM Resigning
April 24, 2008
Irish Prime Minister, An Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern is to resign. And, about fucking time too I might add. After 11 years in office as Ireland’s ruler, Ahern has created nothing but bullshit in Ireland.
Read the news story here that shows how other Government Officials pay tribute to a man who:
- Shoved Child Abuse Victims into a “Shut Your Mouth” payoff deal
- Took backhanders of over €100,000 to escape debts
- Gave himself regular pay rises of over €500 per week
- Bought new Volvo cars for Departmental Ministers
- Wanted the Tax-Payer to fork out Millions of Euro to build a “Bertie Bowl” sports arena while thousands are sleeping on the streets.
- Almost brought neutral Ireland into war on more than one occasion
Thanks for a miserable 11 years Bertie and good fucking riddance to bad rubbish is what I say. You’re only a heartless prick.

Choosing A Host
April 21, 2008
The website hosting industry is probably the largest and most competitive of all businesses today, with millions of providers popping up all over the world on a weekly basis. Choosing the right one could be a daunting task, especially for those who have no experience or knowledge in what is wanted or needed. I hope, that by the time you read this article, you will have a better understanding of the do’s and don’ts in website hosting seeking.
Free Hosting:
Free website hosting is definitely the most sought-after especially with community websites and gaming sites. Although many free hosting providers are very successful, there is also the very large majority who, in the hosting business, are known as “Fly-By-Night Providers”, which basically means that they are unreliable and could disappear overnight. In this situation it is advisable to obtain daily backups of your website to ensure that you will not lose data and for easier transfer to a new provider.
When choosing a good free host, always ask questions. Do not be afraid to ask them. If the provider is honest enough and cares any bit about the services they provide and the reputation of their business, they will answer them truthfully. Ask straight forward questions such as “How long have you been hosting?” or “What happens if my site goes down?” etc. You can determine, based on your own preferences, if that provider will suit you.
I have seen a lot of people who look for free hosting ask for the sun, moon and stars and offer nothing in return. Like anything you buy, if you want quality, you pay for it. So, if a hosting provider is willing to offer you everything you need in exchange for the placement of their revenue-generating advertisements, take my advice and take it. At least the provider will have some assistance in covering the cost of hosting your website.
Don’t expect the best service in the world though, such as 24/7 dedicated support. Remember, it is free so chances are it is run by one person who can’t be around 24 hours a day and cannot afford to pay for staff to take care of technical issues.
Premium Hosting:
This is where I introduce you to a well-known phrase in the hosting industry - “YGWYPF” which simply means “You Get What You Pay For”.
Paid hosting solutions are where competition is at its peak. The more providers that pop up, the more competitive it gets. Choosing between them can be sometimes extremely difficult unless you know what you are doing and looking for.
Do not be fooled by the massive amounts of resources for the cheapest prices craziness. If it looks too good to be true then it more than likely is. You will find many so-called providers out there offer plans like “Unlimited Space and Transfer” for $5 per month. I laugh hard when I see them. First of all, servers have limits. How can one offer Unlimited Space on an 80 GB hard drive? It’s not possible. So, when you see these idiots, stay clear of them.
Like the free hosting, do not be afraid to ask questions. Especially when you are spending your money on their services. Key questions to ask, in my opinion are as follows:
- How long have you been in business?
- Are you a registered business?
- How many websites are on the server I will be hosted on?
- Do you offer 24 hour support?
- How old are your staff, and how much experience do they have?
- Do you provide backups of my website? (if they say no, make sure you have the ability to do backups)
- What is the average response time to support issues?
These are just simple questions that could determine the quality of services you will be buying. Also, if you contact the provider by e-mail with the above questions etc, it would tell a lot by the amount of time it takes for them to reply. Anything over 24 hours and I would be crossing them off my list.
I will attemp to add more to this in the near future. I hope it guides you in the right direction when choosing a provider for your online projects.

Grudges & Begrudgers
April 20, 2008
Every one of us has held a grudge at some stage and probably still do. The truth is, we have these because we have experienced a situation that has pissed us off so much, we refuse to let it go. Yes, I am included in this field.
You all know by now the story with this former friend of mine and the issues surrounding the falling of the excellent and bonded friendship we had. Well, since then, I have been trying my best to piss the guy off and all it is doing in return is pissing me off even more. This is a prime example of what a simple grudge could do to someone. So, I think it is time and only right, for my own sanity, to let these grudges go and move on. After all, I do have an excellent future waiting for me so do not want anything to fuck that up.
On that note, I would like to apologize to this former friend of mine for any issues I have caused in the past, both recent and distant. You know who you are. Take life in a tight grip man and don’t let go. I will give you this piece of friendly advice though. Respect the friends you have left. I know there’s not many now so get a hold of them. Remember, friends are like balloons. Once you let one go you will never get it back. Sorry things worked out the way they did. But, as you said yourself, that’s life. Nuff said.
So, people. Remember, grudges will only cause you issues. More than you need. So, let them go and get on with your life.
Chow.

Domain Values
April 19, 2008
Ok, let’s get something really straight here. In order to make money from a domain, it HAS to have VALUE! What I mean is, it has to be worth something. The best way to get this is for the domain to be as short as possible and preferably just one word or two words combined to one without any breaks. For example - yourdomain.com and not your-domain.com
I saw this domain for sale tonight and I just had to laugh. The domain has never been used, except to display a page that basically said “Under Construction!” and is probably about 2 months old. The domain has two words separated, like your-domain.com. Has no keywords and no search results. Has no PR. The domain to buy would have cost about $8.99 and the guy wants to sell it for $20 
Get fucking real man and learn about domain values before trying to rip some poor fucker off! The only good thing about your domain is the extension “.com”.
If you ordered a Domain Appraisal from Sedo, who would charge about $29 to value it, would probably laugh in your face.
Tell ya what. I will take the domain off your hands for free. According to DNScoop.Com that’s all it is worth. A big fat $0

Health System My Arse!
April 12, 2008
A couple of years ago, the Irish Health Boards were all combined into one system to supposedly provide a better and more sufficient service throughout. Did it work? Like fuck it did. Here’s a prime example:
My Sister, who is 38 years of age and stands at a thin 4 foot 11 inches in height. She was due to go in on the 7th of May for a C-Section to have twin girls. However, she went into heavy labor early on yesterday.
We dialed 112, as one does in cases of an emergency, and asked for an ambulance, explaining the situation. The reply was, “The ambulance is currently in Cork and will not be available for a further 2 hours!”
I was like, what the fuck would happen if there was a serious car crash down the road? “Oh the ambulance is in Cork Sorry!” Get the fuck off.
Anyways, we rang her family Doctor who was not too happy about the situation. He said “I will call you back in 5 minutes”, which he did. Within 10 minutes, an emergency ambulance was outside to take my sister to the hospital.
I have not heard any news as yet, only that she is comfortable and asleep. My guess is they will perform the Section today at some stage.
Let’s hope everything else goes alright.
