Killarney party postponed
The company have apologised for the disappointment and
say they are acting on direct advice from the Dept. of Agriculture.
They added that there will be a compensation party in
April or May, and we can expect details of that soon.
New web restrictions enforced
Web Clonskeagh
- In an ongoing saga of web restrictions being dropped and re-started, the
latest news is that they are to enforce restrictions again. This has enraged
some Internet users who can't believe the short-sightedness of the company's
policy.
"What if I want to see what's on at the cinema before
I leave the office," one respected crew member put it to me, "With the
restrictions I can't get to entertainment.ie,
so what am I to do only ring around the cinemas, costing the company more
money and time."
The IT department issued a statement during the week
stating "Due to abuse of the Internet access we are immediately implementing
content filtering."
Web restrictions are a blow to the company morale. People
who believe they are using the Internet sensibly as a professional perk
find that they are no longer trusted to make that decision for themselves.

KW one year in Clonskeagh
Clonskeagh - Would you believe that it's a year since
KW left Blackrock and joined the crew in the 'Skeagh. In that time we
have seen many changes since our first few weeks. We had half a floor
to ourselves back then, not many had left, we stuck together, sat in big
gangs in the canteen, and never went to O'Shea's. Things certainly have
changed now. Everyone has made friends with Clonskeagh crew and even visit
O'Shea's on occasion.
KW get-together arranged
£5000 for software piracy information
The The Business Software
Alliance has offered a reward of £5000 for information concerning
software piracy, which will enable BSA to take legal action against the
offending companies.
According to their press
release, the rate of software piracy in Ireland is 51%, in other words,
one in two software packages are being used illegally.
The BSA is hoping that the £5000 reward will encourage
people to ring their hotline and incriminate their present or previous
employer. |

Clonskeagh - Huge disappointment was felt on Friday evening when the company
announced that the Killarney party will be postponed. Foot and Mouth precautions
are to blame for the re-scheduling of the party to October 2nd to 4th.
