All Grown Up? Why Not Mark Your Territory Online With .Me?
Today thousands of young people throughout Ireland will be getting their Leaving Certificate results. (We’re a 100% Irish owned company, so we kind of noticed the media coverage!) The exam names may change from country to country, but every year thousands of young people around the world move from the relative safety of secondary school [...]

We’re Moving .. .. The Blog
We’re going to be taking this blog offline for a time later this morning so that we can move it. We’ll be moving it to both a new physical location (ie. server) and to a new design and blog backend. As a result of this all comments are being disabled for the interim – you [...]
How To Get A Blacknight Mug
We’ve spoken about the Blacknight mugs a few times in the past and we’ve had a lot of people asking us about getting their hands on one. So how can we make everyone happy? We can’t. But what we have come up with is a silly idea to give away one of the mugs and [...]

IIA Net Visionary Awards 2008 Shortlist Announced
I seem to be spending a lot of time talking about awards of late, but it’s that time of the year I guess …. In any case the IIA Net Visionary Awards shortlist has been announced … I’ve been shortlisted under 3 categories: Best business blog (for this one) Internet Entrepreneur Internet Marketer It’s nice [...]
Blog Downtime
We’re going to be upgrading this blog’s backend this evening, so the site may be unavailable for a period of time. Hopefully (fingers crossed!) everything will be back working again shortly …

Movable Type – Which License For Me?
Up until a few short months ago Movable Type, which is my preferred blogging platform, was not open source. While there was a free personal license if you made commercial use of the software you were honour bound to get a commercial license of some kind. Since then MovableType has launched an open source project, [...]
Business Blogging in Sunday Business Post
