The expenses for TDs and expenses for Irish Senators were taken from a 230 page document I got from the Oireachtas. God bless the FOI process. I think the Examiner or Indo were the ones to first request this and so all I did was rerequest it and the really helpful people in the Oireachtas Press Office went and got it for me. Thanks to those in there! You can download the document and the other accompanying documents here. I’m certain that a lot of the information in those documents can be analysed and patterns taken out of them. Anyone want to do a google map plotting the amount of time present in the Dáil compared to mileage expenses claimed?

Adding more intelligent women to my feed subscriptions
Monday, August 21st, 2006In my Ice Cream post I noticed the distinct lack of women in the list. I really really don’t read enough blogs of women outside of Ireland apart from the women that write at Crooked Timber. I subscribe to a lot of intelligent Irish women such as Treasa, Sinead, Red Mum, Annette, Suzy, Claire to name but a few but looking at the international blogs I’m subscribed to, I realise it’s totally male dominated apart from 4-5. As a result I’ve now added a few well known and very bright women to my subcription list. I’ve read the sites now and then via (perish the thought) a web browser but now I’m directly subscribed.
So after adding Danah Boyd, Maryam Scoble, Miss Rogue and Denise Howell I’m now subbed to 162 rss sources. Crikey!
I must start adding more arts and culture feeds to the list too.
New blog on the block – The Innovate Blog

Wanted: Logos for new projects
Monday, August 21st, 2006I have two web projects that I’m looking to get logos and themes created for. One is completely non-commercial and the other isn’t very commercial. Anyone out there want to do these? Email me with links to existing work and typical prices. Thanks.
