BarCamp SE – Pecha Kucha

Now that the secret of the Pecha Kucha session is out in the wild (or ‘Pikachu’ as Laura kept referring to it!), I thought I’d post up a few notes and links to the sites I talked about. Everyone else that spoke used del.icio.us for their links, and although I tried using it at [...]


Damien has a great article in the Tribune this weekend about BarCamp, the new tech bubble and VC. Go read it!


The best of Dublin?

I have some French friends of friends coming over to Dublin for a 2 week English placement tomorrow. They’ve asked me to take them out on Saturday night to give them a flavour of Dublin nightlife, which should be easy enough – a few traditional pubs, then onto Temple Bar for the wilder side. Then [...]


Now running on WordPress!

Donncha will be delighted! I finally got moved over from Blogger to WordPress thanks to the wonderful Niall from Blacknight! Niall slaved away over my blog for an evening and managed to undo all the screw-ups that I had mangled my blog with! My Archives hadn’t been working properly before but they are good [...]


About

So who are you? I’m the infamous ellybabes. What’s your real name? If you have a good hunt around the internet you should be able to find out – but I’m not telling! Why do you have a blog? ‘Cos I felt like creating one, and being able to inflict my ramblings on the world. Why don’t you [...]


There’s a bit of chatter floating around the blogsphere that started from a post of Tom Raftery’s the other day.

The problem with these kind of issues is that readers [...]


Class cartoon…

I get my cartoons delivered by mail each day each day from mycomicspage.com – this one came through at the weekend, it’s a Joel Pett classic!


No wonder we swear so much in this country…

Alternatively, this could also be titled: The difference between good customer service and bad… Today the Hubbie and I decided to pop out to the hotel where we are having our wedding for a spot of lunch and to see if the wedding coordinator was available. When we arrived we asked for Claire, the wedding [...]


Nominations are now open for the 2007 Irish Blog Awards. The field is strong this year, and I doubt that I’ll get nominated for anything, but you never know. Twenty is bound to be a shoo in for a few awards again – how he keeps up his phenomenal content in such a prolific fashion [...]


Stunning…

Class video from Blip.tv user Eagle of Microsoft taking over the fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. It’s a bit slow to get started, so bear with it… Loki’s vision displayed in Las Vegas on 1/8/07 at 6:30 PM Update: this seems to be linked to http://vanishingpointgame.com/ the url that you can nearly make [...]


Sheriff Video

Very interesting video and good to see a usage of new technology to try and spread a message. Easy to see how it could happen here or anywhere too… From here: http://video.sheriff.org/psa_cartheft.shtml With thanks to my safety department at work.
