Four reasons for a No, and four more not to vote Yes – The Irish Times – Fri, Sep 18, 2009
The Yes-sirs perpetrate the calumny that the EU would meet another Irish No with economic revenge. Of course some angry EUrocrats may try to block goodies from Ireland’s maw. But the EU is not those Brusselarians – it’s the 500 million citizens, and of these we know the French, Dutch, British and Germans would reject Lisbon if given the chance, so a mass plot against Ireland is inconceivable.

Metallica Death Magnetic
GET IT NOW!
It’s been 20 years since Metallica last released an album this good, “…And Justice For All” for those of you who have to think back! Things were never the same…until now!
“Metallica” (aka The Black Album) was good (not great) but feels like it was designed to bring about commercial success. “Load” and “ReLoad” were OK with some good songs, some forgettable, and “St. Anger” was complete and utter shite! There is only one song on that album that I would listen to again, “Sweet Amber”. “St. Anger” might have served as a necessary group therapy/crisis meeting but should never have been released. Ever! Never ever!
Now that Bob (Pop Music) Rock has finally and thankfully been ditched, in favour of the producer they maybe should always have used, Rick Rubin, it’s back to what they do best. Metallica finally sounds like Metallica again.
“Death Magnetic” is the spiritual successor to “…And Justice For All” and long may they continue if all future releases are as good as this.
I spent the whole day painting yesterday and had the album on repeat and there was not one song that I tired of listening to…all day long…not one! Even the instrumental! Yes the instrumentals are back too. Like I said, they are back to doing what they do best!
GET IT NOW!
Glad I’m not the only one who won’t touch Vista
I’ve been using Vista Ultimate Edition on my work laptop for the past few months even though I disliked it even back then. The only reason it is still on the laptop is that I don’t have the time to wipe and reinstall the laptop with XP Pro. Hopefully that day will come soon.
I really tried to get to like Vista. I thought that if I became more familiar with it I might get a change of heart and grow to accept it. I now know that will never happen. In fact I’ve come to the completely hate Vista with a passion. I can’t pick certain features that I individually hate about Vista, it’s the OS as a whole that I detest. Windows ME 2?
According to a leaked internal memo, Intel are never going to use Vista. See the article on the Inquirer here (Via).
Nice to know I’m in good company!

This list should come in handy at some point for anyone working in IT. I’d be surprised if it didn’t. It has already helped me out big time!

Happy Valentines Day…and all the commercial crap that goes with it! Romance my arse, it’s a rip-off!
Anyway, here’s a nice romantic letter to warm the cockles of Intels heart:
Use Gmail to filter spam from ISP email
I was advised to do this in the past by Donncha but never got around to doing it. Must do it soon to see if I can make do without POPFile on my PC.

Here’s a pre-defined Google search to find more info on this.

How to Access Gmail with Mozilla Thunderbird – About Email
Update
Works a charm! I have Gmail getting my email from my ISP, Eircon (misspelling intentional!), filtering the spam, and then Thunderbird is collecting what is left after all the multitudes of spam has been removed. I am not sending my outgoing email through Gmail SMTP server though as the “From” field on emails sent through Gmail contains “????????@gmail.com on behalf of ????????@eircom.net”, so still sending outgoing email through the Smart Telecom SMTP server. Not one spam message has got through yet!
