Ireland 2009 - Day 1

IMG_1419 We land in Shannon airport on time. The sky is cloudy but the sun occasionally gives reason to hope for the better. You complete formalities with the budget we have a Hyundai Accent with an automatic transmission. The vehicle is in poor condition but is found convenient to drive. Chew on the road and we head towards the Dingle Clare led dall'inossidabile voice.

As we approach the county of Kerry the weather improves and we reach our B & B on the Connor Pass Road under a sun almost Mediterranean. The temperature is pleasant, and we give ourselves a break in the beautiful porch of the House Dunin.

IMG_1555 We decide to visit the cliffs to the west and enjoy the best views of the bay.

Here a stiff breeze and sparkling us back to normality of the Irish climate. Let's go back to town in time to book a table at the Old Smokehouse and prepare the stomach for one of the best fried fish in the area.

IMG_1582 We conclude the evening migrating from one pub to another in the lively center of Dingle. Tomorrow we expect from the lovely beach of Inch.

It 'the first time, after so many washes in Ireland, I decided to change the routine and fly directly to Shannon. In retrospect I would say that is a very convenient choice for those who, like me, loves particularly the west coast of the island.

... And tomorrow we go!

He takes the suitcase of the closet, you print the sheets for check-in and you write the last blog post before departure. Yeah it sounds a lot like the holiday 2.0.

By this time tomorrow I will be in Dingle and I am sure I will be sorry for having already spent a day in Ireland.

See you soon!

Testing techniques trasmissiome

Test post from iPhone.

At the end there are also fallen and I let myself be groped by malafonino. The client for WordPress does not look bad but feels so much the lack of good old keyboard blackberry : (

This year I do not think of going to Ireland. If I were seduced by the umpteenth trip I think this will be my means of updating the blog.

P2P in Ireland: new resitrizioni

Took office in Ireland is a very bad climate for P2P world, even the music industry lobbyists, who have reported great success when one of the largest Irish ISP Eircom, has given up fighting in court and agreed to disconnect their customers, guilty of violation of copyright, now they want the ISP block all file-sharing sites starting with the Pirate Bay.

The funny thing is that at least in the case of the Italian block Pirate Bay, ISPs had to obey an order of the Finance Police, even if the court of review has decided to cancel the block, but there is no provision in Ireland lawsuit against Pirate Bay. It is, in fact, of private agreements between ISPs and the music industry and the politicians, like Pontius Pilate, wash their hands, not wanting to be involved in the story that would put against public opinion.

So the situation is that Eircom will block any site which will be reported dall'Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) and will accept any blacklisted at the same time music lobbies have given notice to the other ISPs within seven days to accept the same deal, otherwise they will be mentioned court. Of course the ISPs do not agree and seek protection. You do not really know who will be able to contact, since as said that the political forces are conspicuous by their absence, while virtually every form of freedom is eliminated from the internet.

And if the site has a lot of material free from the constraints imposed by the copyright will be blocked too, just an infringement notice in relation to the site. This will also say that in Ireland no artist can expose its content using peer-to-peer technology as likely then that the site is disconnected, thereby it destroys any possibility for an artist to make known his deeds outside the official channels.

I really hope that public opinion in Ireland react to these charges. If Eircom, in fact, might begin to see many of its users dissolve the contract and move to other ISPs that have not accepted the dictates of IRM, ie if all this will bring a huge economic damage, we must see whether it will continue to blindly obey taxation of music lobbies.
