    Long story short, PBWiki is yer only man. Why? I was chair of the it@cork Conference organising committee last year.

    A good friend gave me a Nokia E61 to try out recently. There are several things I don’t like about the phone: It is huge! It is really wide (to accommodate the qwerty keyboard) but this means your hand quickly becomes tired holding it to your ear for any prolonged period. It doesn’t have a…
