Request: Blackout media mentions

Bard · 2001-11-09 22:16:16

A quick request to y'all... Can anyone who has a copy of the recent editions of The Star or The Irish Independent which feature articles on the IrelandOFFLine Blackout, please scan in the article and stick it up on the web somewhere or email it to me. If possible, make sure that it's as small as possible, file-size wise,…

If possible, make sure that it's as small as possible, file-size wise, while still looking well.

Appreciated,

I have the indo Niall.

What I'll do is...(bcos the its only a tidbit)
is do a large scan w/ a higlighted hotspot and then a zoom of the actual text. How does that sound?

I'll try and get it uploaded by 2moro sometime:)

I don't think there's any need for the flashy zoom stuff 80p, the public will just have to take us at our word that they appeared where they did.

Thanks for the MP3's by the way, I've pulled 'em down to spodocomodo now, so if you want to edit your post and delete them you can. Did anyone get a recording of the Live95FM interview do you know? That was this morning, wasn't it?

Heres the scan. Its a bit of a monster (compressed although) so it gets in as much of the page as possible. To include the date and dear charlie:p

For those of us that speak dutch !
I got this link about the blackout from a dutch friend just now

The blackout is publicised in a leading dutch comp/tech news site
at
here

Click on 'internet' in left column under heading Rubrieken
then click on 6th story down that page with blue heading:

Ierse internetstaking moet adsl afdwingen

Rough translation :
Irish people try to force adsl from phonecompany with a 'boycott'
correct me if i'm wrong, couldn't find a translator on web

AFAIK....it tells how slow ireland is with internet and what a certain telco promised us (adsl this september) even though campaign is not soley based on getting adsl.
It mentions the keywords IrelandOffline, Blackout, nov 16th and bah Eircon !

A new link to add for the media news & info part at irelandoffline website perhaps ?
