Ryano Stuff

I’m trying to get my hands on an Airport card to go into a G3 iBook. As this is more or less an obsolete product, I thought I’d be able to pick one up cheaply so I could mess about with getting the two laptops in the house wirelessly networked.

There’s a suggestion on dublin.ie’s Virtual Institute of Simplicity to “put a kerb on the outside of cycle lanes”. It’s pointed out that they do this in Paris, but the roadways in Paris are generally wider than in Dublin. My concern is that a concrete kerb would take space away from cyclists, rather than motorists. Also, it may further enforce the “ghettoisation” of cyclists, whereby motorists don’t expect to see cyclists in any part of the roadway other than the cycle lane.

In any case, comments and votes are being accepted at http://www.dublin.ie/simplicity/ideaDetails.asp?id=315

• South Clondalkin QBC (Naas Road to Dolphin Road)
• Waterloo QBC (Waterloo Road)
