Tommy doesn’t want to share his new bone with Lulu, the stuffed chihuahua.
He really doesn’t.

And by ‘leads’ we mean ‘repeatedly punches a stationary jeep with his fists’.
Is he Canadian and just borrowed the t-shirt or is he part of our export-led recovery?
We may never know.

Or you could just, you know, get a much cheaper clock and set it three minutes ahead.

Our techie whistleblower responds to RTE’s clarification of the missing Lenihan interview:
“This audio was available through the typical channel (the podcast) post broadcast, the linking is “automated” and since the failure of this functionality is classified as a “rare” event, deviation from this process is the germane issue and should be investigated.
Two mutually exclusive causes are proffered; a clerical error (which I am assuming is the accidental deletion of the available audio by a keystroke or click) or a systematic failure of an automated system, whereby the digital file is not migrated to the archive system.
Which was it?
Also, the ‘reconstructed link‘ to the real-audio stream was somehow temporarily blocked and is now re-instated. How did this happen, was it sanctioned and if so for what reason?
So maybe RTE could clarify the following:
- Precisely why the “reconstructed link” was working on 14-06-2011 and not working on 15-06-2011 and is now reinstated.
- Why the automated audio archiving process failed in this instance
- With the exception of legal exposure, under what circumstances are archiving procedures circumvented and what are the authorisation procedures in these instances?
- What processes do RTE management have in place to identify obfuscation of audio/video records hosted on the organisation’s infrastructure?
Finally, we would like to take you [RTE] up on your offer of the ‘technical log’.
We would like to see the log and hear an explanation of how precisely this log unequivocally substantiates RTE’s defence and a confirmation that the logs and clarification have been signed off by the relevant technical authority.”
