Inbox crises / JMJ / i102-104 tests

Inbox crises

After clearing another few hundred e-mails out of my inbox on the plane to London yesterday, and realising that Thunderbird's tagging of messages wasn't really doing anything useful for me, I've now created five subfolders of my inbox with various levels of priority. I hope this works better, because things have been out of control lately...

JMJ

Interviewed on Morning Ireland last week

Along with Joe Zefran of rté.ie, John Waters from the Irish Times, former DCU student Deirdre Reynolds, Gráinne Barry of anotherfriend.com, and Dr. Siobhan Barry from Cluan Mhuire, I took part in a panel hosted by Richard Downes on RTÉ Radio 1's "Morning Ireland" show last week to discuss the phenomenon of online social networking.

Two wi-fi toys...

...that I bought recently are the Logik IR100 Internet Radio, and the Belkin VoIP Skype Cordless Phone.

Galway dominates Online Trader category of the Net Visionary awards

I was driving back to Galway on Monday morning and I heard my name being mentioned on Galway Bay FM in relation to the IIA Net Visionary Awards 2006 which are being held next week.

When I looked up the nominations shortlist, I saw that the other two people in my category are also from Galway - Des Kenny from kennys.ie, and Richard Moyles from mattress.ie / furniture.ie - so someone from Galway is going to win :)

Another nice gadget, the NOXON iRadio

NOXON iRadio :: TerraTec Electronic GmbH :: clever gear for a smart world

I saw this reviewed in Galway Now magazine, it's a device for listening to internet radio stations via your broadband / wireless at home.  The NOXON iRadio also has a built-in speaker, and doesn't require a PC to operate.  Neato!

No-One Left to Argue With? There's Always the Reliable Jackeen-Culchie Divide...

Today FM's Ray D'Arcy Show (or rather Tuesday guest griper Ian O'Doherty) gave a passing mention to boards.ie two days ago and the usual tensions between those members who are from the capital and those who are not.

An tImeall ar an Raidió

An tImeall has become the first Irish independent podcast to be broadcast on licensed radio in the country. Conn, an alumni of NUI Galway, has agreed to broadcast An tImeall via Flirt FM, Galway's college radio station. More details below (as Gaeilge!):

Cuirtear tús inniu le comhchraoladh ar an bpodchraoladh laethúil Gaeilge An tImeall, ar stáisiún raidio na mac léinn sa Ghaillimh, Flirt FM. Is é An tImeall an chéad phodchraoladh neamhspleách in Éirinn a chraolfar ar an raidio.

Tom Murphy's Interview on Ryan Tubridy Last Month

Better late than never, I was supposed to upload this radio clip of Tom Murphy and Oliver Boyce being interviewed about online poker and boards.ie last month (20060316a.mp3).

The Last Ambient Zone, For Now

I broadcast my last Ambient Zone show on Flirt FM last Wednesday; it was a sad day but I have lots of good memories including "shows that worked" and interviews, etc. over the past 9 or 10 years.
