| The Ginger Man Gets the Shark Book and Dublin's Calling me to the Pubs | | 2008-06-20 20:10:02 | | “The GM [Ginger Man], by the way, had real balls, a rare thing in these twisted times. I heard the priests gave you a rough time with the stage version, but to hell with them. The church is on its last legs and if we deal them blow for blow I think we may prevail.” Hunter S. Thompson in a letter (December 8, 1960) to JP Donleavy from “The Proud Highway”.Reading the letter excerpted above while in j-school was how I first came to know the name JP Donleavy and what drove me to pick up “The Ginger Man” and continue on through most of the rest of the JP Donleavy catalogue. That Hunter S. Thompson of all people would take the time to write a fan letter to anybody – he was the kind of guy who writes letters to the cable company complaining about the inanity of shows like “Hee Haw” (he asked them how dare they bill him after broadcasting a “waterhead zoo” like that) not fan letters – meant that Donleavy was required reading.

| | The Dublin Castle And Its Courtyards | | 2008-05-30 04:19:00 | | The Dublin Castle is among the most important structures in Ireland. In 1210, it was built on the orders of the first Lord of Ireland, King John. Over the years, the Dublin Castle has evolved from a defensive fortress to an administrative center and a vice-regal court. It has suffered from several destructions, but the worst attack made against it was in 1534, when "Silken Thomas" Fitzgerald, a courtier who had relinquished his loyalty to the English Crown, led an uprising.The Dublin Castle has faced many changes, not only physically, but also in terms of the governing powers that resided within it. The castle has stood for centuries and has been constantly repaired, refurbished, and kept in the state that it is at present. Unlike before, the use of the castle is now primarily for ceremonial purposes. Tourists are free to go around the courtyards, luxuriant state apartments, and museums within it.The Castle is located in Dublin Center along Dame Street. It is comprised of several court | | By: Best Countries | | |

This document specifies a syntax for serialising, or representing, a DC metadata description set in plain text. The format is referred to as "DC-Text".

Monday, August 17, 1998
I got a bed in the first hostel I went to. I’m really beginning to doubt “Let’s Go” when it comes to accommodation warnings during the summer. I dropped my stuff off, and went for a walk around the town. The city is quite small for a capital; the average building is only four or five stories tall. St. Stephen’s Green was really beautiful. The weather this morning is quite cold. In fact, without my long pants and jacket, I’d be really cold. I ate breakfast in a Johnny Rocket’s diner (which I was surprised to come across). For lunch/dinner, I went to the Porter House (my first pub in Ireland) and got a cheeseburger and two house pints for $15. Moderation is hardly a choice for me while drinking English and Irish beers. They are very filling, and I can’t seem to drink them very quickly. This made me reflect on the cheap American beers. They are so watery; it is no wonder people binge drink.

| | The Long Journey To Dublin, Ireland | | 2007-07-21 05:44:14 | | Sunday, August 16, 1998
This morning I faced a day without theater. I dropped my bags at the bus station, and went up to Piccadilly. Once there, I went to the Pepsi Trocadero. Though I had stopped in a few nights ago, it was less crowded now. I went to see “Everest” in the IMAX Theater for $10. It wasn’t worth it. There were some cool scenes, one or two moments of rumble and bass, but overall, it was a disappointment. I also played “Top Skater” and the “Lost World” in the arcade (for a $1.50 per game). The whole complex is a giant marketing tool for Pepsi, with about fifteen vending machines and the Spice Girls Next Generation X commercial song playing every five minutes. It is another cool and beautiful day in London. It should be even cooler in Ireland. I don’t really think there are any touristy things I want to do for the rest of the trip. For that reason, I’m content with just drinking. I figured out that I went $150 over budge | | By: GoBackpacking | | |

I am currently conducting a survey concerning the use of Dublin Core (DC) and MARC amongst cataloguers and other information professionals. The main aim of this research is to obtain a perception from cataloguers and other information professionals, concerning the future trends of cataloguing. As the future of MARC becomes the subject of debate amongst information professionals, there is a possibility that DC will replace MARC for cataloguing both digital and print documents. | | By: Catalogablog | | |
| | Guest interview - Peter Scott of Hidden-Dublin.com & Hidden-Italy.com | | 2007-06-27 12:27:19 | | Peter Scott writes two “alternative” guide websites Hidden-Dublin.com and Hidden-Italy.com to give visitors a more realistic picture of these destinations.
1 What is the aim of your business?
Firstly, while it does cost me a lot of time and some expense to run hidden-dublin.com, I don’t consider it as a business as such. My aim is to continue to provide alternative information about Dublin and to cover my expenses through affiliations such as GoogleAdSense. I consider anything more as a bonus; in recent years I have been very happy to cover my costs.
2 What prompted you to start your business I began writing the site in 2001, having emigrated from Dublin to a job in the UK. I thought that the standard Irish tourist guides lacked insight and depth, particularly relating to such issues as culture and identity. In my opinion, the tourist board’s view of the country, with its idealized green scenery, open roads and an army of welcoming people, was already bei | | By: Europe a la Carte Blog | | |
| | | | Dublin Core and Social Tagging | | 2006-10-31 15:51:00 | | A new Dublin Core Metadata Initiative group, the DCMI Social Tagging Community.The DCMI Social Tagging Community is for those who are interested in investigating how the increasingly common practice of informally tagging resources, known as a process of social tagging, can contribute to the goals of the DCMI. It is clear that there is a lot of work being done that might, if slightly formalised, contribute to the quantum of DC metadata in useful ways. It is also of interest to see how tagging can point to terms that are in common use that may be of interest to those developing ontologies, thesauri and controlled vocabularies. There may be other aspects of the practice of tagging that can contribute in some way to DCMI activities.It is not clear how tagging relates to the activities and practices of the Dublin Core general community, or how tags relate to other metadata, but these are considered interesting questions worthy of discussion.Folksonomies | | By: Catalogablog | | |
