We?ve Moved.
2008-05-26 19:00:00 Well I’ve finally acquired a server and moved full time onto the new blog - over at www.aarondonohoe.com. In a few weeks time this domain will be redirected over to there full time. All posts and comments have been exported and are online there. I’m also looking for link exchanges, if anyone is interested? SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "We’ve Moved.", url: "http://madringo.com/weve-moved/" });
Back Online
2008-05-19 23:17:00 After some hosting unpleasantness - in what turned out to be a reseller who claimed to be the server owner, who also didn’t like paying his bills. You guess it, I got my fingers rightly burnt. That guy ran with my money, and I had to pay off the real server owner any unpaid dues ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Back Online ", url: "http://madringo.com/back-online/" }); More About: Blogging
More Ramblings?
2008-05-08 15:10:00 I haven’t the time, nor motivation lately to make daily blog posts - quite simply I’m out the door with work, school and trying to maintain sanity around the yard! I know I like to give a concise update bi-weekly, but lately I haven’t even been able to do that! With the good weather we’re having ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "More Ramblings…", url: "http://madringo.com/more-ramblings/" });
I Don?t Want to Brag?
2008-04-24 00:00:00 …well infact I do! Approximately two weeks ago, I was interviewed alongside other leaving cert bloggers to give my opinion on a number of leaving cert study-help related websites and services. I was contacted and interviewed by Gráinne Faller, a journalist for the Irish Times.

New Theme
2008-04-15 20:37:00 We’ve treated ourselves to a new theme, which was modified by a friend of ours (I was owed a favour )- with the code itself modified by myself and brought upto a Widget friendly stance. The header was also designed (albeit badly) by myself using some new brushes I got for Photoshop - made ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "New Theme ", url: "http://madringo.com/new-theme/" }); More About: Web Design , Blogging
Run off my feet!
2008-04-14 19:59:00 I’m way to bust lately to be blogging, I just had a spare half hour to throw up a post - not even on the computer neither. I’m blogging on the laptop whilst doing a history essay and renewing a few domains at the same time - who says men can’t multi-task? Between school, and other ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Run off my feet!", url: "http://madringo.com/run-off-my-feet/" }); More About: Driving , Blogging , Feet
TNX
2008-04-07 16:13:00 Today I’ll be reviewing TNX.net, which is a relatively new contextual ad and text link ad advertiser on the scene. It appears to be getting a lot of attention from bloggers, and advertisers alike, I suppose mainly that it’s aimed towards newcomers to the making money online scene, and it allows webmasters to advertise on ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "TNX", url: "http://madringo.com/tnx/" }); More About: Blogging
Bye Bye Bertie
2008-04-03 22:40:00 This is a popular topic for Irish bloggers - the resignation of An Taoisach Bertie Ahern.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest
2008-03-27 20:31:00 Sudden Cardiac Arrest , or SCA, occurs when the lower chambers of the heart, called ventricles, stop beating normally and start quivering very quickly and chaotic. This is called ventricular fibrillation or VF. When the ventricles fibrillate, they do not contract normally, making it difficult to pump blood or oxygen to the body. Often, VF can ...

Back to Civilisation!
2008-03-25 15:39:00 I’m finally back to civilisation at last, after over a week of ‘Cork Fest‘ - which is basically a marathon of doing constant mechanical work, and getting old buses shifted for no pay (it’s already been established that I’m clinically insane…). It’s great craic (for the most part), especially when we got our hands on ... More About: Bored , Back
Happy St. Patrick?s Day

Just a quick well wishes post, I’m sure everyone, wherever they are is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in their own way - I know I’ll be celebrating it in true Irish fashion…getting drunk/pissed/bladdered.

I got my PageRank back!
2008-03-14 21:53:00 Yes it’s true, Google likes bloggers again! Like many others, I’ve been granted my PageRank back, although it is considerably lower than the PageRank that we were boasting about prior to being deranked.

Spring Clean
2008-03-05 15:01:00 Since I moved into the new house three years ago, I’ve never given my bedroom a ‘clean out’, I don’t mean I never swept or mopped the place out or emptied the bin - that’s done daily. But I mean clear out the junk harvesting under the bed, behind the computer desk, in the closet, ... More About: Spring , Clean

How was my day?
2008-02-01 23:54:00 I’ve been finding the past few oppressive mornings to be the coldest, most bed welcoming in a long time! It’s mornings when you can hear the wind/rain belting off your window, the street lights are on as the blue haze turns into morning, and you just want to hit that Snooze button, and turn over ...

Smothering!
2008-01-18 18:28:00 I’m after catching the flu from all of the TB infected morsels that surround me on a daily basis, coughing up the remains of their lungs in a pool of Hospital-Gown Olive Green bile. I thought that if I can survive Cork in minus conditions and just get the ’sniffles’, I could survive anything - ...
