I have moved from a 700e phone to one <200, essentially no difference. Should be class phones from here on out for nothing.

Which phone did ya get? Motorola one?

[Hectorjelly]

One Plus One owners


Is it worth it?

€350 for a 65gb one.

Do I just go on a Sim only plan and lash the card into the phone and away I go?

Yes and yes

[Wombatman]

Yes and yes

What are the advantages of it over a phone at 1/3 of the price like the Moto G 4G for example?

Told my colleague I was going to kill him if he didn't stop sniffling every thirty seconds (previous subtle hints like handing him tissues being ignored). He thought I was joking.

I assume I can rely on a few of you to testify as to my flawless character.

Since you are posting about it here it will be taken as pre meditated and we have a snitch here, remember? he will be on the blower and linking your post

Tech Question;

Used printer for 1st time in 6mths. I was trying to print out a text document and it was faint, missed lines and useless. I repeated it for 10 copies till I got one which would suffice. I assume the printer jets have dried up ( ink cartridge are full).

If I run off more copies will it continue to improve or am I wasting paper and need to just get new printer and use it regular?

I also printed a colour picture and it came out crap.

You should have an option to clean nozzles or clear ink heads, which usually work well and clear any blockages

So farewell to reading the Irish Times online.

[LuckyLloyd]

Survived English literature despite HATING most poetry. Here's two I did like:

SPOILER

Longley, Wounds

Here are two pictures from, my father's head —
I have kept them like secrets until now:
First, the Ulster Division at the Somme
Going over the top with 'Fuck the Pope!'
'No Surrender!': a boy about to die,
Screaming 'Give 'em one for the Shankill!'
'Wilder than Gurkhas' were my father's words
Of admiration and bewilderment.
Next comes the London-Scottish padre.
Resettling kilts with his swagger-stick,
With a stylish backhand and a prayer.
Over a landscape of dead buttocks
My father followed him for fifty years.
At last, a belated casualty,
He said - lead traces flaring till they hurt –
'I am dying for King and Country, slowly.
I touched his hand, his thin head I touched.

Now, with military honours of a kind,
With his badges, his medals like rainbows,
His spinning compass, I bury beside him
Three teenage soldiers, bellies full of
Bullets and Irish beer, their flies undone.
A packet of Woodbines I throw in,
A lucifer, the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Paralysed as heavy guns put out
The night-light in a nursery for ever;
Also a bus-conductor's uniform –
He collapsed beside his carpet-slippers
Without a murmur, shot through the head
By a shivering boy who wandered in
Before they could turn the television down
Or tidy away the supper dishes.
To the children, to a bewildered wife,
I think 'Sorry Missus' was what he said.

SPOILER

O'Hara, Meditations In An Emergency

Am I to become profligate as if I were a blonde? Or religious as if I were French?

Each time my heart is broken it makes me feel more adventurous (and how the same names keep recurring on that interminable list!), but one of these days there'll be nothing left with which to venture forth.

Why should I share you? Why don't you get rid of someone else for a change?

I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.

Even trees understand me! Good heavens, I lie under them, too, don't I? I'm just like a pile of leaves.

However, I have never clogged myself with the praises of pastoral life, nor with nostalgia for an innocent past of perverted acts in pastures. No. One need never leave the confines of New York to get all the greenery one wishes—I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life. It is more important to affirm the least sincere; the clouds get enough attention as it is and even they continue to pass. Do they know what they're missing? Uh huh.

My eyes are vague blue, like the sky, and change all the time; they are indiscriminate but fleeting, entirely specific and disloyal, so that no one trusts me. I am always looking away. Or again at something after it has given me up. It makes me restless and that makes me unhappy, but I cannot keep them still. If only i had grey, green, black, brown, yellow eyes; I would stay at home and do something. It's not that I'm curious. On the contrary, I am bored but it's my duty to be attentive, I am needed by things as the sky must be above the earth. And lately, so great has their anxiety become, I can spare myself little sleep.

Now there is only one man I like to kiss when he is unshaven. Heterosexuality! you are inexorably approaching. (How best discourage her?)

St. Serapion, I wrap myself in the robes of your whiteness which is like midnight in Dostoevsky. How I am to become a legend, my dear? I've tried love, but that hides you in the bosom of another and I am always springing forth from it like the lotus—the ecstasy of always bursting forth! (but one must not be distracted by it!) or like a hyacinth, "to keep the filth of life away," yes, there, even in the heart, where the filth is pumped in and slanders and pollutes and determines. I will my will, though I may become famous for a mysterious vacancy in that department, that greenhouse.

Destroy yourself, if you don't know!

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so. I admire you, beloved, for the trap you've set. It's like a final chapter no one reads because the plot is over.

"Fanny Brown is run away—scampered off with a Cornet of Horse; I do love that little Minx, & hope She may be happy, tho' She has vexed me by this Exploit a little too.—Poor silly Cecchina! or F:B: as we used to call her.—I wish She had a good Whipping and 10,000 pounds."—Mrs. Thrale.

I've got to get out of here. I choose a piece of shawl and my dirtiest suntans. I'll be back, I'll re-emerge, defeated, from the valley; you don't want me to go where you go, so I go where you don't want me to. It's only afternoon, there's a lot ahead. There won't be any mail downstairs. Turning, I spit in the lock and the knob turns.

you are a relative tech noob - where does one go to build and self publish their own website? Are things like Blogger etc the best way now or what?

Have seen a number of good reviews about this one - http://www.wix.com/

Thing with wordpress is that unless you actually buy a domain name elsewhere, {and I think pay wordpress a small annual fee}, your website is going to have wordpress in the title - i.e. it will read as www.gimme a break.wordpress.com

Depends what you're trying to hit for - I think owning your own domain looks better, even if all you are going to do on it is effectively blogging.

Na Wordpress is free. Either as a blog as a sub domain their website or as a CMS on your own domain.

To GAB, it depends on what you plan to do with the site and how much money and time you want to invest into it and probably how much you are willing to learn.

The easiest solution is a free blogging platform like Wordpress or Blogspot but as Lplated said, you get a subdomain like GAB.Wordpress.com.

The next easiest step involves is buying a domain and hosting and there are a number of easier and/or cheap avenues from here. There are also expensive avenues for very little!

http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0217/680...-home-in-bray/

Yea, that is 2 mins up the road from my folks place. There has been a spate of house robberies in the area recently although most are when houses are unoccupied. Hope they are ok.

I just realised that I forgot to give you guys an update. Sunday afternoon we got an 'anonymous' phone call telling us where the miscreant had hidden all the loots from my folks place so all significant pieces of jewellery have been returned. About €100 and £80 in English sterling was taken, although he left the Guernsey Sterling with the jewellery, probably mistook it for monopoly money!

About 10 months ago I was going to a house in Bray. mark geary was doing an intimate gig in a friends house. I arrived there and there was police tape all around the house. I rolled down the window and asked the copper. Wtf happened ? Turns out the next door neighbours son had murdered the mudder the previous night. Gig went ahead, strange vibe . Was a Posh estate (for bray anyho) deepdales

Guitar party wankers to the left and eyebrow shavers to the right. All kinds of wankers at parties. I guess the last remnants of our heritage died in the soul of the types who coined that phrase. Prob better to inhale dutch gold and listen to CDs. (omg Cds how 1988) The thing about wankers, whatever get's them off, get's them off.

As a tech noob I wouldn't recommend building and self-publishing your own website at all Noel. It will cost you more in the long run. Far too many variables and things that can go wrong. Try to find a reputable freelancer on ODESK.com or FREELANCER.com in my opinion. Somebody who you can lean on to get it up and running and also maintain it on an ongoing basis. Not a huge fan of Wordpress but it is a reasonable starting point and there's no shortage of skills out there.

Was sent forward in October for trial at the Central Criminal Court.

This did get me wondering when the last murder in Guernsey was as I can't remember one offhand since I moved here in 2009. The most recent one I can find is 2006 so that is pretty surprising to be honest. Although very little serious crime to be honest with notable headlines such as:

Guernsey fish theft accused bailed by magistrates

Basically, a guy broke into the Aquarium and stole a Sea Bass that he had planned to enter into a fishing competition to win £800. The plan was then to return said fish alive before anyone realised it was gone. The fish died however and in the meantime the aquarium manager noticed the winning catch in the competition was similar in size to the fish stolen.

It turns out that Sea Bass living in the sea have a natural striation in the scales from the temperatures in the water fluctuating between Summer and Winter whereas aquarium fish are uniform because of the constant temperatures in the tank. So they were able to confirm the fish was actually the same one from the aquarium.

He got 100 hours community service and took an oath of good behaviour for 2 years. Very lenient considering there is an automatic custodial sentence for breaking into a house.

You can do a hell of lot quite easily with a Wordpress installation and a decent theme. Wordpress itself is free and if you pick the right provider of hosting it only takes one click to install. It's worth paying for a decent theme if you want it to look like a website rather than a blog. The Divi theme from http://www.elegantthemes.com/ is very powerful yet easy to use and you can create all sorts of pages very easily.

It all depends what you are putting on the website of course.

On checking for some corroboration it appears that a competitor had recently visited the aquarium, recognised the fish and told the staff. I like my story better though...

Irish Times have said that new subscription model / max ten articles a week viewing for free won't affect clicks on twitter links: i.e. they will be outside the 10 article limit



It's surely not going to be that straightforward to get around the paywall? Simply posting a code extension at the end of article address to fool the website into thinking its an allowed twitter view of an article?

That seems to be their plan. We won't really know how it works out till next week. Also, the ten free views is per device. So, laptop/phone/tablet is 30 free articles a week.

After spending ages trying and failing to buy a one plus one I did get to try it out briefly and while it was fine it didn't seem as complete a package as the HTC M8 which I opted for in the end.

€16 a month is potentially a decent price. The problem is they needed to do it five years ago when news actually had value. Today people have probably spent more of their lives not paying for news than paying for news, so its a way harder sell.

I just find it unfathomable that people still buy a daily newspaper. Like, how do these people find the time to read it?

They can be handy for soaking up spillages, and surprisingly good for cleaning windows. Haven't even accepted free copys in the last few years though.
