Interesting google thingy

September 12th, 2003

I’m noticing that the other Mulley Website I have is fairly high up on the google rankings. I think I just have one link pointing to it and thats from this website. In the mini-snapshot that google does of the page under the link to it it shows that the date and it shows 2 days ago. Seems the forum software displaying the date is enough for google to think the website has been updated. One of the pageranking conditions for higher page rank is how fresh the website is.

Must do more tests.

The dodgylist comes soon

September 12th, 2003

Dodgylist.com will be going live some time this weekend I hope. I got some software thats like the one that metafilter use and I hope to be able to configure it so that we can have loads of posters post tot he website with all their softcore links.

I can just see the comments now. “What kind of filth can I post Damien ? ” Mr. Mulley hasn’t decided thanks.

In a huge shock to the world Damien Mulley gets to bed (and sleep) before 12. The world is in a panic.

damien – let the taxi drivers run the country

September 9th, 2003

www.taxiDriverSoapBox.org or something.

Yes they know how to run the country don’t they ? Well let them give their views and everyones views on how the country should be run.

Let me explain.

Split the governmental entity down into small sections

How should we be taxed ?

How should the dole work ?

Healthcare – the best method etc

Let people submit their views and allow commentary on these posted views. Yes it sounds like an online forum but its with only a few threads which are dictated by the moderators. People can post their views on a subject and people can reply to these views.

With strict moderation I think it would work well.

We could then all vote on which policy we all think is same and will work out the best for all.

Fuckit, why not in fact create an Online Irish Politics Fantasy league. WOnder how you would set up something like this.

Maybe I should color code my blog so that brainstorms and these ideas I get are set to a different colour than the rants and so on.

Damien on that gaydar pager thing

September 8th, 2003

Its like the old Tamgochi thingys and a pager.
gaydar1.gif

Its one of those “I’m Single” pagers but this one is for same sex people. So it uses wireless connection to tell people in your immediate area you are gay. Hmmm. Bluetooth does this right ? Yes. Anyone want to write an app for java enabled phones and make a gaydar application. You can scan the immediate area for people of the same sexuality and them send them a business card with your details and all the usual gaydar measurements.

Yes, Mr Mulley strikes again with another blog update. Now if I could get someone to build these ideas.

Damiens camera idea

September 8th, 2003

I recently bought two very cheap digital cameras from the gadget shop in Birmingham airport. They fit on a keyring. Teeny tiny things they be.

Anyway, they actually record 30 seconds of video as well. They are shit cool. They hold 20 pictures too.

I was thinking of some sort of wearable button or badge sized version of this that takes pics every 5 seconds and stores them. Say it records 5 minutes of this before it starts overwriting a picture taken 5-10 mins ago (all memory size dependent). Before it overwrites though it takes two snapshots from this time slice and stores them in another part of memory, which we’ll call MemoryB. (maybe it also adds a timestamp )

MemoryB would then store in order (oldest first) pics taken at slightly random intervals. At the end of the day you could download either via a usb connection or bluetooth a whole reel of pics from the day and these could be uploaded as a daily pictorial to a website.

The thing with the random pics and the cam is you cannot see what was taken until they are transferred across so its very random and unrehearsed too.

The button is also non-intrusive to yourself and the people you are snapping. I’m sure it would make an interesting memory jog for the user as well as a glimpse of stuf you might not normally notice.

The reason for a 5-10 minute memory is in case something unusual/strange/criminal/newsworthy happens and you can store this for download. This amount of time could be increased depending on the ability to make the memory small enough to fit on a button and share the space with all the other digital cam stuff. You might also have bluetooth so this can be transfered to a camera and uploaded to a website as the newa happens.

So there …

damien sez Irish Politics

September 7th, 2003

Oh christ he is posting more …

Yeah yeah. Anyway ..

Its about time we made our politicians work for us. Was talking to Adam Beecher before and I was thinking about a website that allowed you to contact your local TD and senator when a new law was being voted or some campaign needed their support.

The idea would be that you could email and fax your TD from a website and demand them listen to you as you are someone in their voting area.

It’d be handy if you could ahve a listings of upcoming votes and laws etc and so you could prepare in advance. Okay shit, I’m not wording this correctly and might re-edit this later. The idea would be something like the FaxYourMP website that exists in the UK.

Faxes cost a fuckload in this country actually so there might be some sort of premium sms number that could be used to allow you to send the fax. Hmmm, that leads to other interesting ideas.

Maybe we should make all faxes to our TDs free for non-commercial faxes. They don’t read their fucking email anyway thats for sure. Maybe they’ll read the faxes. Time and money again for this idea. I’d set it up and have it running if I could take time off work to get it going. Hmmmzzz

More from Damien later….

Damien – 104th result in Google

September 7th, 2003

So can I get into the top ten for the search result for Damien ? I’m no. 1 for Mulley which is great but I want top ten for Damien too. What an ego boost for this already huge ego. Would that mean I’d be one fo the most popular damiens on the web ? Heh. And yet the readership for this blog is very small.

Okay, maybe I’ll make mulley.info the big Damien test website.

Been reading more of Tom Coates website too and he had a good piece about the distribution of gay teenagers.

I left a comment about it and I’ll reprint it here:::


I live in Ireland and the whole sexuality in schools never came up. We’re still forced with catholicism in schools mostly and as a teen who was questioning his sexuality in school having the school not mention anything but heterosexuality in religion class or other subjects was hard.

It was all “lets talk about guys liking girls and girls liking guys. ”

Its pretty much still the same and guys and girls are afraid to come out. Schools are meant to educate and get us ready for society and when it comes to sexuality they are ignoring a lot of peoples needs.

I also know that they are refusing to let gay organisations in to talk to students.

I’m no longer a teen although I still try and retain my teenage angst 🙂 . I’m pretty well sorted now in life but from various gay discussion forums in Ireland gay teens are still pretty saddened by schools views on sexuality.

I’ve decided with some others to put up a website dedicated to Teenage Sexuality issues. I’ve talked to other Gay Adult Support groups and they are all afraid to broach the subject too. Theres a great website for kids in Northern Ireland – http://www.glyni.org.uk and I hope to create a resource as good as theirs.

As for what Richard commented about tax dollars. If the education program of the school matches and/or exceeds what the government stipulates a school has to carry out then it should not matter who attends the school, be it race ,physical appearance, religion or sexuality. Education is a basic human right. A lot of these schools are passionate about looking after their pupils and are moreso than some ordinary school who have burned out teachers. So schools founded cos they really give a damn should be welcomed. Its a good use of tax dollars isn’t it ?
