Imagine what that Christmas party is going to be like.

Unusual story of how this feline has developed a routine that has baffled its owner. Brilliant stuff

Alexia blogged about RTE News online today and got me thinking. So here’s my gripes:

• Why do they use such crappy photos? There’s a story today about Dublin Airport’s new Pier D opening. Now, normally I would expect a picture of the Pier to accompany the story. No such luck, instead we get a picture of the control tower ( ) which looks like it’s been taken on a camera phone (an old one). Seriously, is it that hard to source decent imagery?
• Video: why are they still using RealPlayer? In the age of Flash video there’s absolutely no need to use a proprietary player. It hobbles the service and guarantees that I rarely watch anything on the site. RealPlayer’s time has long since been and gone.

They’ve improved the site a lot over the past few years but there are elements of it which just make me roll my eyes.

This is borderline crazy but I’m digging it anyway. Rick did something similar on his show yesterday and the results are here. Romanticism lives on.

Update: Wow, he found her. Check the site for details.

It was bugging me to update in the back end of the site but I hate having to download the full zip and overwrite all the files so….I found this list of changed files on the WP forums. No idea if it’s official or whatever but it seems to have worked for me.
