A timelapse of 13 Women by Amanda Coogan.

Paddy Cahill writes:

“I filmed this 12-hour performance ’13 Women’ by Amanda Coogan recently in the Hugh Lane Gallery [Dublin], using timelapse photography. 13 Women is a new live performance by Ms Coogan in collaboration with 13 performers. It explores the Church Street disaster of 1913 and its parallel with contemporary Irish society. The entire 12 hours resulting in a new 8-minute film.”

Would you like to impress your small business-owning boss (should you have one)?

Prepare to snivel.

We have two – yes, just TWO – 1 year licenses to Microsoft Office 365 Small Business Premium, worth €150 EACH to give way as part of the #getitdoneIRL  project, a Microsoft Ireland Small Businesses initiative.

It has all the features and programmes of Office, with the benefit of it being ‘in the cloud’, so it’s available wherever there is an internet. There’s also business-class email, a public website, web conferencing, and document sharing – all easy to manage, without IT expertise.

Perfect for anyone that has an old (or dodgy) copy of Office and would like an upgrade, sez Karl.

To enter, just complete this sentence.

My boss/small business needs this because our current programme cannot____________________

Lines close at 6pm SHARP.

Meanwhile, there are over €5,000 worth of prizes being given out today between #getitdoneIRL, the Microsoft Ireland Facebook page, the Microsoft Ireland Work Smart LinkedIn Group. See who is winning what here.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Gulp.

Could Blip please come to the Diary Room?
