Modifying the evolution-hack irssi theme with bits of the agon theme, I’ve put together a theme called “Revolution”.

It looks nice enough on terminals with dark backgrounds/light text. I might tone down the yellow colour used for the nick printing though.

Axa are running a particularly irresponsible series of ads on the radio at the moment.

One shows a Dublin 4 type who’s overjoyed at not ever having to take the 46A bus ever again since she’s got her car insurance from Axa. The other is one of those “idiot conversations” - two guys are going to Slane, and one of them tries to impress his friend by saying he’ll be driving there from now on instead of taking some “smelly coach”.

They are basically promoting a “losers take the bus” attitude with this. Not to mention that the ads are hysterically mis-informed: The 46A is widely acknowledged as the best bus route in Dublin, it’s frequency is almost German-like and it always receives the newest vehicles - it also has a quality bus corridor most of the way into town. As for the Slane ad, yeah, try driving to a concert there and see how far you get

There’s something cool about abandoned industrial buildings, and they don’t come much better than this. I just dug up some photos I took last year when myself and Bee went wandering around inside the old power station in ESB poolbeg. From what I can gather it was opened in 1900 and was in operation until the 1970s when the existing power station was opened.

Note: I wouldn’t recommend you venture in there alone, there are quite a number of unknown hazards in a building like this.

Summer is teh arrived, today makes me think of the Haruhi ending, Hare Hare Yukai (Sunny Sunny Happy!):
