A chairde,

tá súil agam go bhfuil sibh go maith.
Our recently completed half hour documentary on Branar Téatar do Pháistí will have it's first TV broadcast tomorrow night on TG4 at 8pm.
In the film, we follow Branar as they bring their production of Clann Lir to Cologne. It's a big step for them - their first time bringing their work foreign. They're a great company, it's a nice little story!
As well as offering a window into their quiet and magical world of children's puppetry, the film includes music from a range of contemporary / underground Irish musical acts, inc. David Kitt, Tieranniesaur, Karman Line, Halves.
Here's a brief trailer for the film, please feel free to view / circulate: http://ow.ly/qXWdh
For those of you who are Twitter inclined, the tag is #PuipéadBeag
The full episode can also be viewed on the TG4 player http://nasc.tg4.tv/1c7QKyc

Ádh mor,

James

Curious about hardware failure rates?

This post on ExtremeTech identifies aggregate failure rates for a crucial piece of high-tech infrastructure, hard drives. Cloud computing data centres would be expected to have continuous hardware refresh/replacement in place to counter the inevitable failure of storage. (link)
