Map of visitors to Mulley.net

Thanks to a neat script from GVisit I can see the locations where people visited from. Trouble is I think it misses a lot of my visitors. According to the map only half a dozen people visited in the past 12 hours. generally I have about 10+ per hour visiting.

HeldenCrow – The journal of an Irish barrister who nipped out of the Dublin law library on a coffee break one afternoon and never went back.

Blogging since 2001! Been reading some of the posts are they are really good. Someone give him a book deal. There is a distinct lack of Irish writers around… *ahem*

Got this via MetaFilter.

From the Focus on the Family nuts, you can’t make this stuff up:

Is my child becoming a homosexual?

Update: August 11th 2005

Conor, Michele, Piaras and Markham are talking about it. MacDara in Markham’s comments spots the real agenda

Is this not just a cheap way of having people blog about products.

Piaras makes some predictions:

It’s going to spread across the Irish blogosphere like wildfire, land in the Sunday Tribune’s blogosphere and probably end up as heart ache in nine month’s time.

Does Hugh secretly work for the Pope?

There is now a boards.ie forum to discuss digital rights in Ireland.

I’d encourage those who are not already members on boards.ie to join and start or join conversations on digital rights as well as to heavily (without spamming) promoting this forum.

There is a mailing list and website on the way too, hopefully.

HotorNot + Google Maps = Hot People by Zip Code

Edit GoogleMaps with text and leave post-its through urls. All you have to do is insert the required text in brackets after your query. Handy for soundseeing tours.

oh and other stuff too. The Luas though. Jesus Twenty! Did I mention he reads The Phoenix?

*shakes head and walks off*

Putting their eye back on the ball though it’s been in the back of their net for months now, Google finally does Google News RSS Feeds. More details here. Bring on the vanity searches! More to add to my bloglines now. Hehe.

Another lazyweb suggestion, especially for the Cork2005 celebrations. Like the idea of doing remixes of audio tours of the MoMA, how about doing audio tours of Cork locations? It might be a handy cultural thing for the Where’s Me Culture? group. But as well as doing Audiotours, complete with Googlemaps or something like that, let others remix the audiotours and host them.

So for the one map you could have a serious historical tour, one comedic tour, a ghost tour, one as gaelige etc. Stick a creative commons on the raw material and allow others to create new audiotracks. You could even host the best ones yourself.

I noticed that you can even add pics to podcasts now. I’ve been trying to find a guide on how to make these audio tours like the museum ones. Must do some further digging.

Wonder would Dave, Donncha, Ryan or Tom be interested in doing these?

Of course it applies to non-Cork places too, naturally. 🙂
