Tulsi Ennis & Golden Mill Ennis Menus
Right, bit of a random post but there’s two good takeaways in Ennis, County Clare that don’t have their menu anywhere on the Intertubes. I tried uploading a photo of the takeaway menus to Yelp but the image size was downsized so much the text was illegible. So I’m posting here. This is a personal […]
MediaMonkey Setlist.fm Playlist Creator Script
I’m going to the Forbidden Fruit music festival this weekend and for all gigs I like to do ‘homework’ on the bands and what sets they’re likely to play. That sounds like working to have fun but concerts are always better when you know the songs! MediaMonkey is my music player of choice; one of […]
Automatically generate Android boilerplate code from Layout XML
Java has a bit of a reputation for being too verbose which is a common stick for haters to beat it with. But as Bjarne Stroustrup says “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses”. But it’s a valid criticism so you want your IDE to […]

ryanair leaving money on the table with no customer registration
I’ve booked loads of Ryanair flights and every time they ask you for your name, address, mobile and when you check in online, they ask for your passport number and date of birth. Why do you have to do this everytime? Why can’t you register an account on the ryanair website and have all this […]
charles web proxy review
As I said in my last post, I’ve written many a scraper using php with curl or fsockopen in my time, trying to write automated tools and scraping data. I’ve tried many tools to help me sniff the HTTP traffic so I could emulate it in PHP as quick as possible. I started off using […]
php curl debugging – seeing the exact http request headers sent by curl
In my many of years of php/curl use, I’ve hammered my head off my table countless times trying to debug scripts that weren’t emulating the browser like it was supposed to. This was pretty hard without seeing the exact HTTP request header sent by cURL each session, but this is possible now from PHP 5.1.3 […]
raygun 4play interview video
I remember seeing this ridiculous interview for a band called Raygun on Graham Linehan’s blog a few months. I went looking for it again and noticed Sony had forced most copies to be taken down! But I found this one on Youtube and decided to post on my site for safekeeping. My favourite bit is […]
