Rugadh ár bhuachaillín Ferdia ar an 20ú lá de Bhealtaine… Is réalt bheag é cheana!
Our baby boy Ferdia was born on the 20th of May… He’s a little star already!

I blogged about boards.ie being #16 in Alexa’s top 50 web rankings for Ireland about three weeks ago…
Despite having some fairly major load problems with our servers over the past month, we’ve still managed to climb two places and are now sandwiched between eBay Ireland and eBay UK in the rankings of popular sites in Ireland.
Our overall site rank is an impressive 9,689 (up 9,162 places).
I’m currently enhancing the blogging section of our tutorial for the World Wide Web conference next week with more information on Structured Blogging, and having installed the SIOC WordPress plugin on a WordPress MU-powered site I run, I’ve realised that Structured Blogging isn’t going to take off by just providing plugins for single-user blogging platforms like WordPress and Moveable Type. It is more suited to multi-user blogging communities powered by WordPress MU and Drupal.
I’ve already asked James Farmer about Structured Blogging and WPMU compatability, because it currently doesn’t work out of the box with WPMU (although this may change with a forthcoming WPMU 1.0 stable release). If anyone has managed to get this to work, please let us know because I believe that this could be a boon for the Structured Blogging cause… I’ll happily install it for the couple of hundred journals.ie users when it is ready!

I’ve added corkcity.net, corkcity.org and dublincity.org to the list of domains you can choose from when signing up for a free blog at journals.ie.
…an empty inbox in Thunderbird.
Extreme happiness is two of them!
But I now have all this pending stuff written down on a piece of paper; I seem to have neglected the to-do list in my local wikidPad.

For those interested in crawling RDF metadata, I’ve installed Uldis’ SIOC plugin for WordPress at journals.ie. This is automatically enabled for all blogs.
journals.ie - Free Irish Blogs
At last I rid journals.ie of that old Kubrick template, now we have lots more content on the page including all latest blog and forum posts, irishblogs tagged content from Flickr, Technorati, Upcoming, Planet Journals, etc. Does anyone tag stuff on del.icio.us with irishblogs? That’s one I didn’t think of…
In other news, I’ve added limerickcity.com to the list of domains you can choose for your free Irish blog website at journals.ie.
Here’s the latest tag cloud from Planet Journals, representing tags with more than 5 usages since we began collecting them in April. I’ve used a log scale to do this.
The top ten tags (from 10 to 1) are: politics, personal, blogs, music, technology, blogging, uncategorized, ireland, general, and at the top, it’s irishblogs.

I’ve already blogged about graphical social network visualisations for boards.ie; I’m now adding to my wiki the scripts used to pre-generate the XML for Prefuse graphs of these networks (i.e. user networks of vBulletin mutual buddy links). These are similar to those used to visualise the blogosphere on Planet Journals as well (just using blogroll links instead of buddy links).
