WorldbyStorm - 15:08 Sat Jun 24, 2017 This is telling… from the IT, a report that RTÉ is thinking about no longer producing DVDs of its programmes. Why? ?The market has moved on, probably faster than any of us predicted,? Mr O?Reilly [RTE group commercial director] said. ?In the UK, there are still good distribution channels. You can go and buy a […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:42 Sat Jun 24, 2017 I only heard the term ‘stealth geek’ on a Babylon 5 podcast the other day. Which kind of disproves any sense that I might be a stealth geek despite it being completely unfamiliar to me. But I find it a brilliant term… For a definition look no further than here… A person who has many […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 09:20 Sat Jun 24, 2017 For those who like electronic music Welsh based Kelly Lee Owen’s eponymous album released a couple of months ago is well worth a listen. It manages the neat trick of being both nuanced and yet immediately approachable merging techno, dance and near ambient sounds with a – perhaps surprisingly – pop sensibility to good effect. […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 08:35 Sat Jun 24, 2017 Has a different route this year due to Luas works, starting in St. Stephens Green and going to Smithfield. Details here. Assembles 11 on, starts at 2 pm. Weather improving – should be a great afternoon.  A
WorldbyStorm - 11:56 Fri Jun 23, 2017 Well now, here?s a piece in the Irish Times that points to the brave new world post-Brexit that those who shop online from the UK are about to enter. A world of higher costs – fantastically higher costs, due to VAT and customs. Those of us who purchase DVDs from the US will […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 11:27 Fri Jun 23, 2017 Reading a headline in the IT that Leo Varadkar was right to defend Whelan court move I made a mental bet with myself that the author of the piece would have the initials SC. And so it was, Stephen Collins who writes what is effectively a defence of the status quo in relation to […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 10:26 Fri Jun 23, 2017 A priority will be to build a more united country, strengthening the social, economic and cultural bonds between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. My government will work in cooperation with the devolved administrations, and it will work with all of the parties in Northern Ireland to support the return of devolved […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 08:10 Fri Jun 23, 2017 From RTÉ… The construction sector is facing industrial disruption as crane drivers belonging to Unite prepare for a strike that could seriously hit activity on building sites around the country from next week. Unite says it represents 90% (around 170) of the country’s crane drivers, though that figure is disputed by SIPTU, which has traditionally represented […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 12:00 Thu Jun 22, 2017 Gewerkschaftler suggested this recently: I suggest this blog should have a regular (weekly) slot where people can post happenings at the personal or political level that gives them hope that we?re perhaps not going to hell in a handbasket as quickly as we thought. Or as the phlegmatic Germans put it ?hope dies last?. […]  A
WorldbyStorm - 11:56 Thu Jun 22, 2017 There?s often a sense that Newton Emerson is attempting to have his cake and eat it in his columns. Never more so than with the following: Since the election, remarkable levels of ignorance and hostility towards unionists have been revealed among the English left and the London media. Unionists are unlikely to be […]  A |
