What I’ve been up to the past few weeks

Rule No 7 of blog-writing says: ‘Don’t start a post apoligising for not having written in a long time.’.

Well…this pretty much is a diary type entry, focusing on (I blush) me, and it’ll explain why I’ve been so quiet on the blog front after doing quite well for some time.

First of all, I joined Rothco (one of Dublin’s leading advertising agencies) some 2 months ago. It’s early days yet, so I leave the grump at home for the moment and I seem to get along very well with everyone. Well, by that I mean no-one’s called me a ‘moody French prick’ yet… (more…)

Speaking at WordCamp Ireland 2010

I’m very flattered and dead chuffed to be speaking at WorldCamp Ireland, March 6^th & 7^th 2010 in Limerick, em Thurles, no…Kilkenny (thanks Nick for the edit…) .

I will take part in the Use Case Scenarios panel and will cover how Wordpress i perfect for developing cost-effective charity websites.

Now I’ve about a month to try and conquer the usual stage-fright and put on paper whatever worthwhile information may – or may not – be floating about in that wet brain of mine…

OFFF and ‘generative art’

A couple weeks back from OFFF in Lisbon and the head is still spinning from all the mind-melting stuff I saw there. I’d promised myself I’d blog about it and, well…here it is.

We landed in Lisbon a day early, to discover the city and stock up on sun and grilled fish before the whole thing kicked off. Seriously looking forward to the conference, I was hoping to be as inspired as I’d been at Flash On The Beach 08. (more…)

2 months to OFFF in Oeiras, Portugal

The OFFF 09 or International Festival For The Post-Digital Creation Culture is getting closer and closer (7th-9th May).

I can’t wait to go, and not just because it’s in Portugal!
All sorts of big-shot speakers are scheduled, such as Hillman Curtis, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister..
And tons of people I haven’t heard of but I’m dying to discover.

Here’s a piece of video from Multitouch Barcelona just to get us in the mood some more!
