I've tried to find out where it came from originally but can't seem to find any reference to its creator. Entertaining though :)
So I'm thinking about moving my personal blog to my own domain, alex.leonard.ie, for no major reason but it feels like it's the right thing to do.
I've had a few people mention the fact that they have to join vox to comment here, and I don't want to think that I'm excluding anyone ;)
Also, I have that domain name sitting their idle and it feels like a waste.
So I went looking for a method of exporting my blog posts from Vox and lo and behold one doesn't exist. It's a bit of a shame - I didn't realise my posts would be locked in here, so I'm faced with two options.
Neither option is ideal really, as I don't know when option 1 might happen, and option 2, well, copying and pasting over 200 blog posts might take a while..
Any suggestions anyone? I'd be planning on keeping this vox account so that I can comment on my neighbours vox's, but other than that I think I'd be doing everything else over on my own domain, and would love to see some people from vox drop a comment in on occassion!

What do you love about where you live?

I love the fact that I'm in the middle of nowhere. Very peaceful and quiet. Lots of space, and cheap!
Here's a photo taken from the back of our house nearing dusk. All we have to see is a lot of fields, which is nice.
This had me laughing uncontrollably. Brilliant stuff..
I have to say that I found this very amusing..

You may or may not care about this, but as a designer this is definitely important to me.

By the way, my ugly mug is the very last one in the video.
Huzzah! Bertie Ahern, head of the Irish government, has resigned. He's a crook, and should never have lasted as long in power as he did.
You can watch RTE's news reports about it here: http://www.rte.ie/live/
I found his brother's comment amusing, on being asked what he thought of Bertie's decision to resign:
I would think he definitely is not right in the decisions he makes - that decision he made to accept £450,00 in brown envelopes was probably pretty wrong.
He's usually right in the decisions he makes

This is the only thing I'm aware of - the problem is that it's really small and I can't avoid it when it's around...

Well, it might not be king, based on how much usage I get from it, but PicLens is definitely a beauty to play around with, and it's functional too.
I've written a full write-up on my business blog, so I won't repeat it verbatim here, but if you're interested in my ramblings, check out:

Obviously, you're going to need Firefox as your web browser to test this out - but why would you use anything else!
