Colin Broderick’s excellent and informative Dublin public transport map (as featured on Broadsheet) is now available to purchase as a handsome but inexpensive (€5) Irish-made Stocking filler.
Colin has given us FIVE maps [Delivered to you as an A3 Sized pdf, ready to print or carry on your phone] to give away to five public transport/cartography/colour code fans.
He would like those wishing to enter to complete this sentence.

Irish-made stocking fillers to broadsheet@broadsheet.ie marked ‘Irish-Made Stocking Fillers’. No fee just a cheery nod.
The year 2010 recorded in a composite image of 3,888 photographs taken by Erik Solheim from the window of his apartment in Oslo.
Solheim set up his Canon 400D to record one image every 30 minutes: 16,000 photographs whittled down to 3,888 from each of which he extracted a one-pixel wide line, then composited the lot (from January on the left to December on the right) using a computer script.
Full sized image here.
The source imagery was later turned into a rolling gif by ReditorITwitchToo.
Defiant Grafton Street, Dublin last night.

No fee, cash, favours, pizzas, ‘drives home’ given for this post.
A ‘decision paper’ supporting the introduction of Time of Use (TOU) tariffs for “domestic and small business electricity and gas customers”.
This should end well.

So we’re getting smart meters next: To save us money of course. Time of use tariffs. Cheaper in the middle of the night to do washing, etc and I’m sure you won’t get screwed putting the kettle on during Coronation Street. It will “empower consumers to select the best tariff for them”
But go to Page 8 “dynamic tariffs, where the cost of consumption can vary at short notice” And there’s a tender for a PR wonk for them: I wonder who’ll win the smart metering contract?
Yikes.

Allegedly authentic recording of career advice from a Dublin ‘aul lad’ to a younger friend.
He’s right about the buffet.
