BMI launches new Irish focussed web site…

Apr 11th, 2005   11:52 am

… but it fails to work!

TCM cover the story here. Esentially, BMI have sent out a release saying they’ve launched self checkin services and a new Irish focussed website. However, they don’t appear to have bothered to register www.bmi.ie, and when you try and book you’re greeted with an error. Even worse, the error you’re greeted with (400) suggests that it’s your fault, when it has actually been caused by a 500 (their fault) previous to the error you’re greeted with. Nice!

But, the self-checkin has to be welcomed!!

Cats shocked by The Banner

I think I can safely say that neither Clare or Kilkenny were expecting Clare to put up such a performance yesterday in the NHL match. Clare, who only had a mediocre performance display during the course of the league, went down badly to Galway, in their first truely tough match (although many Laois supporters will quite rightly point out that Clare were luck to win their earlier game).

With my background, the latter types of calls are usually spent trying to prove to someone there is a problem!!!

Media pick up on the glossing over of the LLU crisis

Mar 16th, 2005   2:40 pm

I was glad to read, this morning, on Silicon Republic, an article that highlighted that eircom’s recent bitstream DSL speed upgrades will gloss over the much more important issue of LLU. A lot of journalists are still happy to chew eircom press releases without checking any of the “facts” (and I use that term lightly), even still. Hopefully some of the mainstream media will also pick up on this glossing.. and even more hopefully the High Court will see this case for what it is, a deliberate stalling mechanism, that’s costing the tax payer even more money.
