Since getting back from Las Vegas in January I haven’t been travelling. I’ve been focussed on moving house and settling in as well as spending time at Blacknight HQ. That all ended Friday. I’m now on the road until the end of the month. 3 trips, 3 weeks, multiple countries. First up is ICANN 58 […]
2016 was yet another crazy year for travel for me. I clocked up nearly 250 thousand km over the year! So where the hell was I? This map shows it all: A lot of the flights were to the US, which is fairly normal, as there a lot of events over there. 2016 was also […]
I’ve been to Montenegro several times over the last few years and I’m always struck by the beauty of the place. This video does a good job of capturing some of it: Unfortunately there aren’t any direct flights from Ireland, but it’s relatively easy to get there via Dubrovnik, London or Paris.

It’s the end of an era. Pariscope is to cease publication after more than half a century. According to reports in French media today’s edition will be its last. If you were a visitor or inhabitant of Paris “Pariscope” and “L’Officiel des Spectacles” were the “go to” publications to get information about event listings in […]
I was in Portland, Oregon last week for the cPanel conference. I was there to deliver a keynote on Wednesday morning, so I had a bit of time in the evenings to catch up with friends in the area. I’d never been to Portland before, though I’d always heard good things about it. I probably […]
I love Sicily. It’s such an incredibly beautiful place. Don’t believe me? Check out the video below which was produced by a travel agency in the UK: Sicily has an incredibly rich and interesting history. Pretty much every civilisation that passed through Europe made their mark on Sicily and you can see that in the […]
Yesterday afternoon after being nearly blown away by the winds on Garryvoe beach, we stopped by at the Kilkenny shop in Shanagarry. If you like Irish design, then you’d probably enjoy the shop. Though I do find that a lot of the products are way too expensive for my taste. They’re nice to look at […]
I’ve been “benched” for the last few weeks, which means I’ve been able to cook at home. It’s been wonderfully calming. Sure, spending a Sunday evening preparing lunch for the following couple of days might not be “exciting”, but eating fresh home cooked food makes me feel better. And I don’t mean just mentally – […]
Ever wanted to go to Australia? After watching the new Qantas safety video you might want to: Yes, this is a safety video, but it’s also a very good advert for Australia. Nicely done – it sure beats the boring safety videos some airlines seem to love! Related Posts:My Sister Gets A Shout Out On […]
I saw in the New Year this year in Las Vegas with a couple of Polish friends, which was a hell of a lot better than how I spent the previous New Year’s Eve! We all arrived in Vegas a few days early for CES, so it worked out very well. New Year’s Eve in […]
