Spartacus - Lots of Blood.. and Silly Tshirts

Spartacus Blood and Sand isn't going to be showing in Europe for a while I suspect ..

For those of you who have been able to see it the tshirts it has inspired so far are quite amusing.

Who'd have thought that you could get so much inuendo into a simple Latin word like "ludus" ....

Home Cinema Discussion Forum Live

As part of my "let's use those domains" plan I finally put a new Home Cinema Discussion site live at the weekend.

I picked up the domain about a year ago, but it had been sitting "gathering dust", so I'm happy to see it's now in use .. hopefully the site will get some traffic and attract a few active members in the coming weeks / months...

Now where did I leave that list of domains?

Carlow Business Directory Now Live

carlow-biz-logo.pngI'd have to be the first one to admit it. I have an annoying habit of registering domains then forgetting about them or simply not having the time / energy to do anything meaningful with them.

So I love it when I'm actually able to get something up and running on a domain that is functional and hopefully of some use. Emphasis on hopefully!

A few months ago I picked up carlow.biz. It was available, though it was registered a few times in the past to other people.

So with the aid of Forbairt Media's graphic skills, the new Carlow business directory is now live.

Yes - it's still a work in progress (the design is still being tweaked), but if you're based in Carlow and have a site that should be included please submit it! It won't cost you anything.

For the SEO types ...

All the links are clean, direct links.

And of course it's hosted by Blacknight.
