Keith Shirley

It’s been a nice week for getting comments on how the blog is proving useful to people. Early on in the week I discovered a small review of the blog on the Silicon Republic site. I’m not sure how I missed it before. Then I got some comments via mail which always cheers me up.

On Tuesday the list for the 2nd round of the Irish Blog Awards was announced and I was very happy to see that I’d made it. This round will be judged by volunteer judges and the next (and final as far as I know) round will be judged by the public.

Let’s be honest however – with the caliber of people I’m up against there is not much chance of getting to the next step.

Let’s be really really honest and admit that I still want to! So fingers crossed that the judges deem my efforts good enough.

The nominees for:

You can now register to attend the Irish Blog Awards. The event takes place in Feb 2009 and will be a great way of meeting other blog users and writers. Don’t worry – you don’t need to be a geek to attend – there will be plenty of normal people there as well.

I’ll be there – I’m just not sure when I’ll travel yet.

P.S. Sorry if this post appears twice. I had already posted it but it seems to have disappeared. I hope it’s not too late for you to register if you are interested.
