The other evening I managed to grab Nacho Amadoz from the .cat domain registry for an interview with Conn and I for technology.ie. Unlike most of our guests Nacho wasn’t planned – it was just a happy accident! Nacho was online chatting with me via Skype so I just grabbed him We talked about what […]
We’re probably a little bit late to the party with this one, but we’ve finally launched our podcast. Since it’s not just about us and our products and services we’re running it over on Technology.ie Conn Ó Muíneacháin from Edgecast Media has been podcasting for years and is a trusted member of the community, so […]

You can expect to read quite a bit over the next few days about the major differences in tactics and media used by both camps in the 2008 US presidential elections.

A couple of us have headed over to Kilkenny for the day to attend PodCampIreland. If you’re in the area drop into the Ormonde Hotel
Ireland’s first major podcasting event takes place this Saturday in the Ormonde Hotel, Kilkenny. The event kicks off at 10am and promises to be an interesting day if the list of expected attendees is anything to go by.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to give a huge thanks to the organisers of BarCamp Southeast. Tom and Keith did an absolutely amazing job and it is only due to their hardwork and meticulous preparation that the day was such a complete success. Several of our team went down to Waterford for the […]

Rather than merely shoving our name on the sponsors’ list we’re actually sponsoring the pre-conference podcast series, where Tom will be speaking to some of the […]
