9th May, 2018.
Yep, it’s officially Wednesday.
And ANOTHER day at work.
Where, thankfully? The water’s back on.
Quite what switched it off?
I’m blowed if I know!

On other fronts … ?
I notice Facebook’s announced foreign funded ads in Ireland’s upcoming abortion poll AREN’T placed on the Irish branch of the site.
I get the feeling they’re treading carefully, wanting to make sure their complying with Irish electoral law, and using it as a chance to be visibly be doing something about inference in politics.
And doing it in Ireland as it’s a small country: and therefore easier to run an experiment like this, in.
Frankly?
Just on general principles, I welcome it. From what I’ve seen, traditional media — TV, newspaper, radio — have to be very careful about how they report such things, and the adverts they display.
And can’t see why new media companies like Facebook be exempt: just because they’re new.
I look forward to the day the company introduces a similar policy in the UK.
