On Sunday last (21/10/10) the Irish government announced the IMF / ECB bailout plans. This was already the word on the street for the previous week and the Taoiseach, Brian Cowen had, on more than one occasion, vehemently denied any plans for an IMF bailout. Yet again, more lies. The IMF brigade were apparently just here on a friendly visit over the previous days and were shacked up in the swanky Merrion Hotel, conveniently located a spitting distance from the back door of government buildings. But the charade couldn’t be kept up for too long.

here i little something i made..

Well this goes back a few months, but then again i haven’t added much here in months either. I’m just fixing some broken things in my WordPress install as well as running a theme for mobile devices.

There was an earlier problem with the database which was further screwed up by a plugin doing something else.
