Notes:

Code may not be my main contribution to Open Source but I make myself useful with a little bit of everything (usability, bugfinding, general helpful encouragement).
Alan particularly likes cross platform software like AbiWord, Mozilla, OpenOffice, and projects like Inkscape, Dia and the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Alan is moderator of the Gnome Usability Mailing list.
Alan can often be found on irc.gnome.org usually on the channel #abiword.
Alan's email address is horkan a at maths dot tcd dot ie
Alternatively you can try contacting alanhorkan at Gmail or Yahoo! although these addresses get checked far less often.

As seen on TV!

Late on a Friday evening at the computer and with an episode of CSI Las Vegas playing on the television I unusually didn't switch channels as soon as the advertisements came and on was surprised to see Durex advertising a vibrator on television. Don't recall seeing Durex advertise on television before, so advertising a vibrator seems that bit more unusual and interesting.

Can't stop the signal

TV-links may be gone (for now) but there are alternatives such as
TV RSS, and
All U C. Efforts to close down TV Links will likely raise the profile of these and other alternatives even higher.

What you might not realise is that streaming is supposed to be a convenience, downloading but in the background and playing at the same time and then disposing of the files when finished. Which would be fine if you aren't interrupted or do not want to watch the stream again, but a horrific waste of bandwidth if you are forced to download it all again. Having said that the convenience provided by this need breed of website is very impressive and hints at how much more the World Wide Web might yet surprise us.
