being the discourse of Mr. Stewart Curry Esq, husband, gentlemen, blogger, and designer of slight renown. Herewithin lie dispatches and discourses from my mind and the world of the cybersphere. I pray you, gentle reader, to enjoy my vain meanderings, and should the fancy take you, to comment upon my follies.

Well this is what I spent most of this year doing (apart from getting married of course!). Just want to say a big thank you to everyone in X Communications for being such wonderful people to work with, and here’s to next year!
Superextrabonuslink – I made the card using some CSS3 but FBML doesn’t render it (sigh) – so here’s how it looks with fancy CSS properties!

Bored of this nonsense already. Plus… Killing in the name of is not really a great song… (heresy!)

I’ve updated stewartcurry.ie so now, rather than listing my various links, it pulls in the latest files from Flickr, Pix.ie, Delicious, Last.fm, Twitter, this blog, and work tweets, blog posts and images. Still loads more to do, I’ll probably make a panel for each one and have a smooth-scrolling menu to view them all.
It’s all put together using a combination of site-specific javascript (e.g. for flickr and pix.ie), some jQuery plugins (e.g. for the tweets and last.fm) and Google Feed API. The hardest part was stripping the cruft from the various plugins – it would be great if there was a “do not load CSS” option for the APIS. The Last.fm plugin has a fantastic option where you define your markup first – plugin makers take note!

bendunne.com that’s bendunne.com are offering free ads on their site today. What they aren’t doing is pre-moderating them, so pretty much anything you post goes up there until someone notices and takes it down. Did no-one tell them the internet is full of jackasses? Thanks to Twenty Major for pointing the way
Some examples (expect these not to last)

The new Luas line to The o2 (the Point Depot) opens on Tuesday 8th December. In case you are wondering if it’s close to the o2 – it’s right by the entrance. We live across the road where people get dropped of so hopefully we’ll have a few less beeping cars and drunken singing once it’s open!
