Ooops, someone noticed the Technorati rank
Justin added this site to his Technorati list of Irish blogs and was a little shocked at what he saw. Damien noticed too 🙂 Actually, I don’t get many hits from blogs despite the inflated numbers on that list. It seems nobody is curious to know who that “Donncha” chap is. In the latest release…
