Eulogy – Dr Anne Boyle

Thursday, February 7th, 2019

We had the memorial service for my mother today - she died Monday, and the Irish tradition is to have a short few days of funereal rituals prior to the burial. In Mom's case - always the non-conformist - she asked for a non-religious service and a cremation, so the ...

Making NCA manageable

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

GRC summary

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Please do not adjust your sets

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Well, it's certainly been a while, but I'm back. After deciding on a short hiatus while I worked on becoming ABD, I found that something had been corrupted somewhere, and new posts no longer showed up on the home page. No mind, I'd already agreed a server migration with a ...

One Thousand and counting

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

A minor landmark - my post earlier today about community radio licensing was the thousandth to be added to funferal. I think a small number have been removed over time, for various reasons, but with the flurry of news items today we're definitely over the thousand mark now. Thanks to ...
