    Via Martha Rotter’s blog (Martha is Rob Burke‘s replacement in Microsoft Ireland and I bet she hates being introduced that way!), I see that Microsoft Ireland have started a Microsoft Licensing blog. This is a great idea because licensing Microsoft’s software correctly in any kinds of numbers is unbelievably complex. I often wonder if it…

    I have had isolated reports that since upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.3 and the theme to K2 RC2, this blog crashes the Safari browser. I’m running Safari version 3.03 on my Mac and it doesn’t crash but I’m told version 2.04 does crash. I have tried turning off some of the sidebar widgets but…

    I was going to hold off on blogging this but since Damien has already mentioned it I thought I’d add my experience. I received two emails directly from Monster’s Business Development Manager John Burns today. In the emails John said i want you to delete my name from your blog that is open to the…

    Really odd but since I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 the number of subscribers to my blog has roughly halved. Today it is reading 632. It hasn’t been below 1,000 in at least 6 months never mind down at the 600 mark. I realise that this is likely due to my moving to the newer FeedBurner…

    Phew! Finally done with that install – ouch! I wouldn’t want to go through that again in a hurry. I hit several speed bumps in my upgrading of this blog from WordPress 2.2 to 2.3 – many of those could have been avoided if I had followed the instructions on the Extended Upgrade page instead…

    I have started to use TiddlyWiki a lot recently. TiddlyWiki is a wiki platform which runs on your personal computer. TiddlyWiki runs entirely out of html and so simply by visiting the TiddlyWiki site, you have downloaded the application! Chose File -> Save As… to name it and save it to an appropriate folder on…

    Technorati have overhauled their site completely. Some of the changes are great and some we could do without, frankly! The best change is that they have drastically sped up the site. I dunno did they add more servers or simply optimise their queries (I suspect the latter) but the site and particularly searches are now…

    Paul O’Mahony is one of the people sitting in on the Blog Training Course I am running for it@cork. Paul has been blogging for a while now and I first met him at the Irish Blog Awards earlier this year. Paul made a suggestion in the comments on his own blog that I put up:…
