Check out Planet Irish Gaming.
Yep. That’s the whole purpose of this post. Plugging Planet Irish Gaming. It’s something I setup a long time ago and it’s been running for quite a while, and I’ve been adding feeds as requested. I recently did some tidying up of it and added some new features (such as getting updates as emails!).
So if you’ve got a feed that you’d like me to included, please drop me a mail (or leave a comment). Anything related to Roleplaying and Gaming (nominally related to Ireland) would be welcomed.
(I guess I should I should add a feed from thedeadone.net…)
I originally posted this on the Redbrick babble newsgroup. If you don’t know what Redbrick is, this entry will have little interest to you. However, I’m posting it here because I think it’s interesting and also I’m hoping that it might filter out to some of the other Redbrick users who don’t use the newsgroups.

Being a proud Redbrick member, I keep up to date on all the Redbrick blogs on Planet Redbrick. Last week I saw this post by lickylip. I thought I’d highlight it a bit by posting about it here.
He’s recently married and living in their most-of-the-time quiet estate. Then you have a few of the local kids who decide to throw eggs and stones at their house and burn out their car when they go on holidays! Feckers. The Gardai are powerless of course and there isn’t much recourse fro them.
I really feel for them, because we’ve just moved recently and even though we’ve been here a few weeks, we don’t really know anyone yet. I don’t know what we’d do if we became victimised in the same manner because we’re both exhausted from moving again and wouldn’t like to think about the safety of our two year old daughter.
I didn’t think Dublin was still so bitter about “blow-ins”. I mean, I’ve moved house/apartment three times now, from City Centre to Kildare and now to Wicklow, and we’ve always found the locals fine. It’s nearly a necessity in Dublin these days that people are forced to move where they can afford.
While I completely dislike the idea of ASBOs, I guess they were designed to try and tackle the situation faced by lickylip.
For literally years, I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to do with my web space. At the moment it’s a dump for anything I’d like to keep online or be able to reference online such as my weird and wacky writings, my pleasant amateur art and various pieces of software or code I’ve done. And thats enough for me, I think.
However, I was interested in blogging software before the word “blogging” became hip. I didn’t blog, I just used the software from GreyMatter to MovableType and now Wordpress (which now runs this site). So the question haunts me (only a little though)… why I don’t I really blog and who reads this anyway?

This is rather funky. If your a Wordpress user there is this nice plugin called X-Dashboard which allows you to configure the ‘dashboard’ on the Wordpress interface.
I only recently figured out how to get the Dashboard working properly on Redbrick (see the Redbrick Wiki Topic “Installing Wordpress”) so I fired up the plugin and am now able to configure what appears in it.
Whats just a little bit cooler is that you can write mini plugins for the plugin that allow you to include different feeds. So I wrote two, one for Planet Redbrick and one for Planet Irish Gaming.

Started playing around with Planet which is this RSS feed aggregator to HTML thingy.
I set up Irish Gaming Planet as a test and people seem to like it. Now if I can only get other gaming sites to have real feeds…
And while I was doing that, colmmacc has set up a Redbrick Planet. I’m helping out too.
I kinda like it a kalediscope look at the blabbering minds and egos of Redbrick.
