Review of Mr Cotton Coffee

Mr Cotton Coffee

Mr Cotton has been the key provider of coffee to OpenCoffee in Cork since it has been based in the Rubicon Centre. The owner, Declan, is taking part in the Genesis Enterprise Programme. So far we have only sampled his standard filter coffee which he provides as a mobile service to various industrial estates around Cork. The verdict has been universally positive and I genuinely look forward to a cup of joe from Mr Cotton at each OCC. Those weeks when he hasn't been retained are always disappointing! Keep an eye out for him around Cork. You'll get a rich, non-bitter rounded cup of coffee from him.

Review of Photobox Calendar

Photobox Calendar

This is now a perennial favourite in our extended family. Previously we gave a calendar to various family members and it consisted of 12 different staged photos of our children. Due to lack of time last year, we just selected 12 of the best pics of the overall extended family. This has gone down even better with everyone and extra copies had to be made for aunts and grandaunts. A simple super service that I would recommend to anyone looking for a gift idea with the personal touch.

Review of Liferea

This is the desktop RSS reader I am using on Ubuntu. It's not jam packed with features or anything but it has the one thing I need; the ability to access protected feeds like Trac timelines.

It integrates nicely into the Ubuntu taksbar and the notifications work well. Whilst I use Google Reader for my main reading, Liferea will do fine for everything else.
