What the hell is happening in Cork in the jobs front?

Smaller online communities = better interaction. As social sites grow, average interaction per user goes down.

Gay Adoption in the States:

Nearly a third of adopted children in the District of Columbia live with gay or lesbian parents … gay and lesbian parents are raising 4 percent of all adopted children in the country. Roughly 100,000 foster children await adoption, the study reported …

I find the fact that 100,000 foster kids are looking to be adopted to be a shockingly high number. Some other U.S. adoption facts.

A nice write-up by David Hollingworth who went to ShareIT in Cork.

DRM free, the music might be but they charge more for it. Ripoff.

The latest management craze. It’ll never take off.

Oh my god dude.

And this is the “Ha ha” song. I dunno.

I had planned to have my physical breakdown around June, once my schedule was free. 😉 I wish I was like Hannibal in the A-Team. (Not the dead part.) After my two minute checkup at Southdoc this morning around 7am they gave me augmentin. a few hours after taking it I got very very ill. The doctors claim it is not a reaction to the augmentin but food poisoning. Hell, they know best if they can charge 60 quid for 2 minutes work.

This evening they changed the meds from augmentin to distaclor (just in case) for what they later today told me was tonsilitis, motlium so I don’t puke the funky blue pills up, immodium for other end, dioralyte to rebalance salts after spending the day vomiting, strepsils for the throat and paracetamol for the fever. The pharmacy also refused to take back the augmentin.

Talk to y’all in a few days. I think I already had a few automated posts lined up. So, enjoy!

p.s. The new trailers for the Transformers movies are fantastic and Doctor Who last night rocked as well.
