We’re a small development company working in Dublin and have been busy working away the past 1 to 2 years on various projects big and small. We’re now at a stage that we are finally getting branding and a website together – but if you check out our site its not live yet.. Ah! But our aim is to be live – up and running next week.

Anyway we have some great clients and projects under our belt – one of which is the CJFallon eReader App (above) for iOS and Android. We’ve built this from the ground up over the last year and is now used in schools around the country. Kids probably hate us now that I think of it! We also work with agencies and other design companies around Dublin on some exciting projects as well as building our own stuff in-house.

Long story short we’re growing – Yeah! Tough bit is we’re now looking to find another great iOS developer to join our team to help deliver some projects this year and beyond. If you have a spare minute to post this we’d be delighted. We have a Job spec below but really its much of the same as above. We like to build stuff and if any broadsheet eyeballs also like building stuff – get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

It’s just an inter-species make out.

Hello all at Broadsheet. Thought you might like to meet ‘Fargo Lowry’. He lives in Offaly.  He loves his cows and they love him.

Following her arrest for “drink driving”.

Independent TD Clare Daly writes:

…I was brought in a patrol car to the Kilmainham Garda Station – within 300 metres distance. At one point I was placed in a cell on my own. A doctor was called and I provided a urine sample. When I was released a female Garda told me to ‘come back when you are sober’.

I believe that the Gardai implementing road safety have a job to do and I support them. However, I object strongly to the arrest, handcuffing and release of information re the arrest on suspicion of drink driving to the tabloid press early on Tuesday. My legal advice is that none of this is ‘procedure’.

I believe that this was a deliberate attempt to discredit a left-wing TD who has raised issues of malpractice within the Garda Siochana. This information could only have come from within the Gardai.

The Garda Ombudsman is investigating this matter, as a criminal investigation under Section 98 of the Garda Soichana Act 2005. This is a very serious issue. Every citizen is entitled to their good name and to have their privacy respected.

Garda whistle blowers who have quite correctly approached the designated Confidential Recipient and elected TDs, as they are lawfully entitled to do, have been threatened that they will be fully investigated in accordance with the Garda Siochana (Discipline)
Regulations 2007 for speaking to a third party.

I now expect that the same enthusiasm will be taken in relation to those who have sought to damage me.

I have received the official result of the test on the urine sample provided and the result is 45 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of urine, which is 33% below the allowable limit – 67 milligrammes.

They’re frames.

Made from broken up skateboards.

Literally gnarly.

By Dublin-based Design Jazz.

James Carroll writes:

After graduating from Dublin Institute of Technology i spent one year working and living abroad in Vancouver, Canada. This experience coupled with a lack of employment opportunities in Ireland pushed me to set up Design Jazz. I like to work on design projects that result in a clever and useful outcome. Skate Frames  are picture frames made from used skateboards. Each frame is unique due to the scratches and knocks a skateboard takes in everyday use. I can make custom frames for images no larger than 17 x 17 inches.

 

We have one, yes ONE – Skate Frame to give away.

To enter, just finish this sentence.

I would like a Skate Frame so I may display a photo of_______because________

Football.

It’s not all spit roasting, match fixing and ball-boy kicking.

From Come Here To Me:

All roads lead to Dalymount Park in Phibsboro this Sunday for the Africa Cup of Nations Final which will be shown on TV screens in the Phoenix Bar. This will be the third time local residents and Bohs fans have organised an evening of “football, food and music at the Home of Irish Football” for the final of the cup.

Stefan Cackowsk moved to Belfast to “build a new life”.

His neighbours assumed he was Catholic.

He got a brick through his window.

As soon as he informed everyone that he was Protestant, the
intimidation stopped.

Result!

What you may (or may not) need to know:

1. Not a remake of the ‘classic’ Irish thriller, The Courier (1988), described by In Dublin magazine as ‘brutal’ – the movie’s marketers later used this as a recommendation on the title’s UK video sleeves, not realising brutal means SHITE. Watch an amazing clip from it here.

3. We do love Jefrey Dean Morgan, from Watchmen (2008) and TV’s Supernatural, the type of solid b-movie actor destined never to get a fair shake.

4. Hey! It’s Hugo Stiglitz from Inglorious Basterds (2009)!

5. After Sin City (2005) and The Wrestler (2008), it’s sad to see Mickey Rourke back phoning it in in a big pile of straight to DVD shite. Was 50 Cent
busy?
