IFTA nod for The Secret Of Kells
THE SECRET of Kells has been included in the shortlist for Best Film at the 7th Annual Irish Film & Television Awards. The product of years of hard work by local studio (Kilkenny) Cartoon Saloon, the animated feature has been going great guns on the international film circuit over the past year so it’s no…
Grazing CreativeCamp
It’s been a while since I’ve dropped in on Grazr.com so when I did tonight I figured I’d whip up a handy Grazr window and feed for CreativeCamp. If you check out the sidebar on the CreativeCamp blog, you’ll see a nice new Grazr window on the right sidebar containing the majority of current attendees…
Meetup For Irish Webmasters
It’s no secret that I have a dislike for Dublin. It’s not a place that I frequent all that often but when it comes to social gatherings, in the tech and web industry, it really is the place to be. Having said that, Cormac Moylan pointed out yesterday that there’s a meetup on for Irish…
GoDaddy Phone Support
I’m a patient person, but there’s only so long I can spend on hold. Part of my Friday was spent on hold. About three years ago I changed job, spent 21 minutes on hold ringing the tax office trying to get a new certificate and I nearly lost my mind. I used to work broadband…
Better Be An Internet Cafe In Amsterdam
I’m heading to Amsterdam on Saturday morning for a short break… only there better be an internet cafe open first thing in the morning on Tuesday. Not risking the laptop and going in search of a WiFi connection…. No doubt the website will come crashing down around the ears of those at Ticketmaster…

I’m still gunning for Twitter with lasers but James has produced another mix from the Eireprenuer web-blender with a Twazer of co-worker twitter feeds (web workers) based on postings by Conor O’Neill and Chris Messina. So much social acitivites of late, some real eye openers coming along, makes for a great time for internet startups…
Hey Chorus, Whats The Story?
Thought I was having an odd problem with Chorus not being able to display blogger blogs over the weekend, this morning, or still as I type, and didn’t have to look far to see that Twenty is having the same problem with NTL. Of course, NTL being the proud parents of little baby Chorus, everyone…
Online Filing Facility Needed For Local Authority Grants
I’ve been mulling over the Arts Act Grant application for 2007 for Devious Theatre since this morning and it has only just occurred to me that there is no means by which to submit the application electronically. Forms can be emailed out or picked up from the Arts office but as of yet there’s no…
No Such Thing As Free Online Backup
Some things in life are free, but according to Venture Beat, online backup will never be one of those things – quite possibly due to the fact that advertising oriented business models that would suit free services, just don’t apply to online backup facilities. But it is the nature of backup that will lead to…
