Listening to old podcasts...

I was doing some work in the garden on Saturday and I had the chance to listen to some old podcasts I'd downloaded early last year (most from 2005). Even though they were all over a year old, it was still more interesting to hear them rather than listening to current radio!

TechCamp Ireland

Wow, I was just talking to Stefan last week about setting up something similar to this TechCamp. Great minds think alike!

I've added a TechCamp forum to boards.ie to ramp up the enthusiasm!
