Anyone know how I can restore this? I have over 300 contacts in MSN and all have been wiped. I’m screwed!

Friday, October 6th, 2006Blogging the Election: EUR250 sponsorship slots now available
Thursday, October 5th, 2006Sponsorship slots of EUR250 have now opened up for Blogging the Election. We’re still in the red for the conference and some unplanned costs are the reason but are part and parcel of events. The ERU500 slots are too rich for some companies so we’ve created new EUR250 slots.
What do you get for this?
Your company name will be mentioned at the start and end of the event in the thank yous. Your logo will be on the screens behind the podium during the intervals between speakers and your company name and logo will be mentioned on the IrishElection.com website.
A EUR500 slot will get you the above plus you’ll be the sponsor of a section and this will be pointed out before the section starts. Of course we also have the EUR2000 venue sponsorship slot still available.
Thank you to Sensorpro, Digiweb and Technofutures who have sponsored the event so far. It’s very much appreciated!
In fact ah d’Bertles
Wednesday, October 4th, 2006Questions and Answers – October 2nd
Monday, October 2nd, 2006Myself and Cian will be in the audience at Questions and Answers tonight. We’ll wave and look like we’re supporting someone in Winning Streak. Cian won’t bring the banner I made saying “C’mon Mary, spin it for de parish.” You Never know, maybe a question about politics and blogs will get asked or “Blogging the Election” will get name dropped.
On the panel will be Noel Dempsey, Liz O’Donnell, Trevor Sargent, Richard Bruton and Eileen Gleeson.
Free blog hosting for anyone that comes to “Blogging the Election”
Monday, October 2nd, 2006Digiweb are offering free blog hosting for anyone that registers and comes along to the Blogging the Election event on Saturday in Dublin. We’re still looking for sponsors for this event so give me a shout if you want to be a sponsor.

This is much cooler.
David LaChapelle did some promo video promos for Lost for E4 in the UK. (I’m a fan of his work.)

Conor and Walter know what I mean. Stay tuned.
Sufjan writes an epic
Sunday, October 1st, 2006Live video of Majesty Snowbird by Sufjan Stevens. He plays the Olympia on November 1st which sucks since I’ll be in New York then and I’ll also be missing Beirut play the following night. Damn. Anyways, enjoy:
Ever seen a trailer for a book?
Sunday, October 1st, 2006Steven Johnson – The Ghost Map
BarCamp Ireland – The aftermath
Sunday, October 1st, 2006Got home around 10am this morning even though I live in Cork! What a great event. Sorry I didn’t get to say hello to everyone and stop and chat for long. The venue was fantastic, the speakers were great and maybe at the next one that John Breslin is organising 😉 I’ll have time to sit down and listen to more talks.
For those that registered but didn’t turn up, maybe we’ll see you at the next one. It’s a great pity because as well as missing lots of networking and interesting ideas, there were lots of freebies as some bavarian people can testify. Free coffee, biscuits, free lunch, lots and lots of free Bubble Brothers wine, (leave your thoughts about the wine on their blog) free BarCamp T-shirts, free Fon routers, free laptop skins and free drink in the pub after.
Thank you to those that did talks and those who came along to hear and encouragethem. Fair play to the other non-troublemaking Damien for coming all the way down from Letterkenny for this.
Thanks to Michael Bambury from Enterprise Ireland and to the people of Howard Holdings for letting us use the Webworks building. Thanks to Christian van den Bosch, Randy Johnson and his wife Margaret for giving us a hand on the day. Thanks to all the sponsors who were so generous and helped out a great deal. In no particular order Pat Phelan from Roam4Free, Donal Manning in Heineken Ireland, Sigmar Recruiting, Ed Byrne from Hosting365 for providing the free t-shirts, Michele Neylon from Blacknight for stuffing us full of pizza, Julian from Bubble Brothers for giving us all that wine (Elly was certainly a fan), Brian Caulfield from Trinity Venture Capital (great talk too), C&C Group for all the beverages, hooray for Qumas for the lovely food at lunchtime and Madgex for the backnetwork. Why not say thank you to them all on your own blog?
A good way of giving thanks is to organise the next BarCamp. Maybe have one in Galway, one in Dublin, one in Carlow?
Finally and most importantly a huge thanks and well done to Conor O’Neill and Walter Higgins who put in way way more time than I did into this event and deserve the applause of everyone and a pint from everyone at the next post-event drinks thing. Be sure to spread the word on Sxoop Technologies and Argolon Solutions.
