Some people, need no introduction or thanks!

May 15th, 2008 by Jason Roe

Well that may or may not be true, but I thought it would be an intresting post. Being honest, Im not sure why this came into my head today.

There are some people online who I would like to say thanks to…

This list in no paticular order.

I first met Laura aka @czajkowski at Skycon down in Limerick some time back. A while ago she helped my find an N95 via #linux, Thanks! PS: she also introduced me to pear cider…

I contacted James Corbett aka @EirePreneur out of the blue in relation to coworking. He was one of many people I randomly emailed asking for some help with the project. Thankfully he accepted the request with open arms. When we last checked the site has over 150 active memebers (real people based on our coworking survey). Since then, we have watched the spawning of a number of coworking locations within Ireland. Without people like James and others this may never have happened. Thanks!

From what I remember, I met Damien Mulley via Michele Neylon god knows how long ago. Hes always been a straight shooting no nonsense kinda guy. Via the blog awards, Damien donated 1000 euro of the procedes to st francis hospice (my charity of choice). Thanks dude, a lot more than I ever expected!

Michele Neylon and all his crew in blacknight have kept me a float hosting wise for the last 5 years or more. I may just be a client, but it never feels like that with these guys. As Dave Davis always says, “they are one of the good guys”.

Feel free to pass this blogish gesture on to someone else.. Its good to say thanks.

Vodafone wont sell me a Nokia n95 (8GB)

March 7th, 2008 by Jason Roe

I’m officially pissed off with Vodafone. Based on my personal experience, they are **** bags of the highest order.

I poked around on their website for over an hour, not able to actually find any way to buy an n95 (as an existing customer). So I decided to send them an email. Lucky for me, the contact page was dead.

I ring them up to be told, sorry no pass go, please ask in a local shop.. This must be ecommerce at its best. I piss away over 100 euros a month, on minutes that I barely even get through (any more) to be told… Sorry computer says no!?

Well Vodafone, you can f**k off!

Own your very own piece of Irish blogging memorabilia, a poser from the 2008 Irish blog awards that has held in the Alexander hotel Dublin. The blog award has become know as the bloscars among many Irish bloggers.

The poster features a popular political icon who is dressed to impress. The poster was designed to support another popular miscreant and full time disk jockey Rick O’Shea RTE’s 2fm presenter.

The stick on mustache comes courtesy of some t-shirt girl. No facial hair was harmed in the production of this poster.

A white infamous WWMD? sticker is also (What Would Mulley Do. This is a reference to the blog awards organiser Damien Mulley)

Second coworking location for Dublin

February 14th, 2008 by Jason Roe

Over the last month, I have been working in the background to secure additional coworking locations in Dublin. The theory behind this is to make coworking more accessible and available.

Irish Developer (David Rooney) passes away.

January 4th, 2008 by Jason Roe

I’m not sure how many people are aware, but a fellow blogger and developer David Rooney from irishdeveloper.com took his own life over the Christmas period.

I didn’t really know David terribly well but I have been reading and participating on his blog for about 6 months or so. It turns out that Pete had just hired David for a new role about 3 weeks before his death. His death came as quite a shock to us all.

All I can say is that my condolences go out to his family and friends.
