Gmail App on Android - Sent mail stuck and not sending

This happened to me today, I replied to a mail with large attachments, and the mail got stuck in sending state, and didn't send. After reading many forums, the following fix worked for me:

1. Open Outbox
2. Select original offending message
3. Scroll to end and select REPLY, and then SAVE Draft.
4. Close Outbox and open Drafts
5. Open email and you can then access the unsent message, copy it or delete/discard it.

A few shots from the Sealife Aquarium in Bray & Bray Beach. Sealife is well worth a visit, I really enjoyed it. Try to get there at feeding time, the staff feeding the Octopus told some very good stories. I never knew that an Octopus is as smart as a dog, and as strong as 2 men when fully grown to ~3 meters in length.

EU cookie directive in Ireland

Good article on The Social about the the Irish Government bringing the EU cookie Directive into law. At the very least, it will probably mean putting a disclaimer on sites, if not more.
