  • Apple Digital Bootcamp - 2010-08-23 18:22:57 -

    I have just finished my first day of three at the Apple Digital Bootcamp being held in Alexandra College, Milltown, Dublin. It was a long day 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. filled will hands-on practical workshops. The event was organised by the INTO with the full support of Apple Ireland. Typetec ltd supplied the Apple hardware to the PC community. Both primary and post-primary teachers are being fast-tracked by experts through podcasting, animation, digital photography, videography, music, etc. I can't wait for tomorrow - if I can get up in the morning.

  • WeatherPixie is under the weather - 2010-08-07 15:43:04 -

    The WeatherPixie.com has been experiencing server trouble for the last 6 months and is in need of pixie dust. It was definitely down at the end of February as it was pointed out to me in some of my birthday greetings.  I have just gone onto the site and it is empty except for a Twitter link for @weatherpixieHQ .  Judging from the last tweet on March 7th nothing else seems to be happening. Bearing that in mind I am going to retire WeatherPixie from the sidebar until further developments have taken place on the site.

Greetings to all the teachers attending the

Soldering Workshop

I was disappointed to read that there were 2 “no shows” at the recent Robots.ie Soldering Workshop held at The Science Gallery . I would have liked to have been there but besides my recent respiratory problems I had also read on the site two weeks beforehand that the workshop was sold out [...]

Dublin arrival of the Sea Stallion from Glendalough

This is a “no frills” video of the arrival of the replica Viking longboat the “Sea Stallion from Glendalough” at Dublin’s Custom’s House Quay on August 14th, 2007.

It was shot in the crush of the crowd but it does capture the atmosphere and excitement of the historic event.

Last night’s Real Player version was a mess. Unfortunately, [...]

Hook Head Lighthouse

I promised to upload the sound and vision of Hook Head Lighthouse in the rainy mist of the August bank holiday. Enjoy!

Dublin welcomes the Sea Stallion from Glendalough

  

The Sea Stallion from Glendalough finally docked at Customs House Quay after its six week voyage from Roskilde in Denmark. The replica longboat travelled 1000 nautical miles manned (and womanned) by an international crew of 60. More pictures to follow tomorrow.

By Hook or by Crook

I can hear the song by The Clash in my head – "Should I stay or should I go . . " The bad weather is closing in on our proposed trip to Hook Head, County Wexford.

The Norman Invasion of Ireland began in 1169. Legend has it that that Richard de Clare [...]
