    I see Loic has posted dates for Les Blogs 3. It is on December 11th and 12th this year. I went last year and I can honestly say it was the highlight of the year for me. Still no mention of line-up or pricing but unless it is outrageously expensive, I’ll be going. See you…

    Robert Scoble’s video show was launched this morning. The delay in the launch was due to the PodTech.net site’s re-design apparantly. There are some fascinating interviews there. One of the videos is of a photo walk with Thomas Hawk. Thomas is a photographer in San Francisco and works with photo sharing site Zooomr. I did…

    I’m just about to kick off the first of the it@cork blog training events – there are five training sessions between now and October 23rd. Hopefully I won’t totally bore the pants off the attendees and we’ll get some new and interesting blogs emerging from the course!

    via Pat Phelan comes a nifty WordPress plugin which speeds up posting from WordPress blogs. Called WP-No Ping Wait, the plugin works by waiting until after the post has been posted before alerting the pinging services! Nice one, thanks Pat. UPDATE – this plugin has caused issues on a number of sites I manage so…
