Mad ramblings whenever I feel like it….
Session 4 and listening to Bernie Goldbach talk about how he dropped 35,000 on a failed startup. George is off finding out how to get Venture Capital, I’m now trying to find out how he would keep it once he got it!!!
He makes some very interesting points:
You need to watch for the ‘red lights’ [...]
Third round of talks and I’ve gone for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) while George went to hear about WLAN for sheltered housing projects. Both fascinating topics, but you gotta make a decision!
Eoghan McCabe has an excellent knowledge of white and black hat techniques for raising your page ranking.. This is something that I [...]
Second talk under way and I stayed in the Atrium to hear Sabrina Dent talking about “Making Money in Second Life”, while George went off to hear about microformats and OPML.
I hadn’t even realised that the game existed until the last couple of weeks when I heard about it on the talk list. It’s [...]
Well it’s 10am and here we go for the first BarCampIreland… Conor welcomes the already sizeable crowd and explains the format of the day. The agenda is filling up fast and we seem to have talks going in 2 rooms for most of the slots today.
First up is Simon McGarr talking about “Digital [...]
until BarCamp Ireland in Cork…

Really looking forward to heading to Barcamp Ireland at the end of this month… Hate doing the drive to Cork, but the Hubbie and myself decided to make a weekend of it. After a failed attempt to book a room in the Clarion hotel, I managed to get us into Isaac’s Hotel, which [...]
or I Want One Of Those, for the uninitiated…
Two things showed up this week:
The Multi-function Desktop Digital Frame - digital photo frames are a great idea, but until recently they were wayyyy too expensive… This one’s fairly reasonable at $70, it slideshows through 22 pics, shows the calendar and temperature as well as functioning as [...]
before it’s even released…
According to news sites, Sony will be releasing only 400,000 units of the PS3 in North America and 100,000 in Japan in November, with no more than 2 million in total by the end of 2006…
And nothing at all in Europe until at least March 2007…
And since there’s already a Xbox 360 [...]
Well, that’s what it feels like at least…
I started entering my books into www.librarything.com tonight, I’ve completed 3 shelves so far, have 6 more to go and that’s before I start on the boxes upstairs… I can see this taking a while…
My current author cloud looks a little something like this… can you tell which [...]
Except thats no excuse, Istanbul Park in Turkey has more money than the Nurburgring, that’s for sure? So just what were they thinking when they sent the F1 drivers out on their ‘driver parade’ clinging onto stripper’s poles???
Credits to Sutton photography for the Istanbul photo, and to My Hubbie for the Nurburgring photos…
