Just a quick “Happy New Year” to all our friends!
We’ll be bringing you more reviews throughout 2009, but if anyone would like to contribute please let me know – many hands make light work!
Zyb Looks After Your Phonebook For You
Once upon a time I used to have an address book. It was a physical book with people’s names, addresses and numbers in it.
These days, like so many people, I tend to rely on my mobile phone’s addressbook and my email inbox.
But what would happen if my phone broke or got stolen? I’d hate to think!
The service allows you to easily backup all your phone contacts remotely. It supports pretty much all the commonly used handsets and works by sending you an sms with the sync configuration details. Save the SMS and then sync your phone using the new profile (this process may vary depending on your phone, but as I’m using a Nokia it’s how it works for me)
You can also sync your calendar entries and your SMS, though personally I’m a lot more interested in my contact data than I am in anything else.
It’s a nice, simple service which “just works” and doesn’t cost anything (at the moment).

Know Your Rights and Entitlements
I really hate all the media talk about egovernment and how governments across Europe are working hard to bring information to us, their citizens.
However, one project that is truly useful is the one run by the Irish Citizens Information Board.
The site is not particularly visual or anything like that, but it is literally crammed with useful information for people living and working in Ireland (or planning on doing so).
If you want to know what your rights or entitlements are then this is the site for you.

Headrambles
Since it’s not a very visual website you’ll have to excuse me for abusing the cover of the author’s upcoming book instead of my usual use of a logo …
Headrambles is one of those blogs that brings a smile to your face.
To be perfectly honest on more than one occasion its author’s ramblings have had me in fits of laughter – the kind of laughter that doesn’t mix too well with a cup of coffee (my monitor can attest to this!)
“Grandad” who pens the random rants over on Headrambles is one of Ireland’s older bloggers. He’s also one of the funniest, so I’d heartily recommend him to anyone with a sense of humour (NB: if you’re a politically correct nut you may not approve!)
