Find lost disk space with JDisk

This java based disk analysis tool installs itself as a explorer context menu so right clicking on any folder allows you to quickly see a breakdown of where the largest files are within that folder and sub-folders

JDiskReport

Try Program Files, My Documents and Windows folders, you may be surprised whats taking up space on your system. I found it great for clearing down my aging laptop that is running low on space.

Make huge images from multiple a4 sheets with Rasterbator

Rasterbator

This is an excellent tool. It allows huge, rasterized images from any picture. The rasterized images can be printed and assembled into extremely cool looking posters up to 20 meters in size.

There is an offline version for download.

There is a gallery of other peoples images. Check your printer toner and find the sticky tape...

Father Teds House

I was down in Clare for a wedding at the weekend. While I was down there we did the typical tourist things, eat and drink plenty, see the Cliffs of Moher etc. but we also took some time out to try and find the craggy island parochial house which is outside a small town called Killinaboy in County Clare.

It took us a while to find it including stopping and asking a few people along the way, "Excuse me do you know where father teds house is?", which gets a few funny looks as you can imagine. If anyone wants directions please let me know...

This place is so remote you would wonder how the series producers ever selected and found it.

So here is me trying to do my best "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse" pose.
