Last Thursday afternoon, while the ICANN meeting was wrapping up in Buenos Aires, a historic moment was reached. At 5pm Irish time the .irish top level domain entered “general availability”. In simpler words – from that moment onwards anyone, anywhere can now register a .irish domain name. This is cool. It’s something that I’ve been […]
In a few days time the .irish top level domain name will be available to the public. From June 25th they’ll be open for registration on a “first come, first served” basis, though you can currently pre-order during landrush. It’s going to be interesting to see who registers one and how they end up using […]
I’ve been running IPv6 via a Sixxs tunnel at home for several years. When I first set it up I was using an old LinkSys with alternative firmware. It worked, but it had a tendency to break randomly. After a couple of years I got a FritzBox! which “just works”. Over the years the number […]

The internet is a weird and wonderful place. This evening let’s look at the “weird” and possibly even “bizarre”. As regulars readers probably know, I run several websites apart from my day job (I really should put “day” in inverted commas, as it’s never really been 9 to 5), including IWF, which is a discussion […]

As I’m heading over to London later this week, and I’m a bit disorganised, I only got round to booking a hotel this evening. I’m heading across for a mixture of business and pleasure, so my laptop will be an obligatory accessory. With that in mind I needed to find a hotel that offered wifi […]
I started work on GuestHouses.ie before I headed off to LA. It’s not going to change anyone’s life, but hopefully it will grow into something worthwhile!Andrew from RedMoonMedia did a nice header graphic for the site (link to go into footer on my todo list!), but I didn’t get a chance to put that up […]
I don’t mind spending money if I feel like I’m getting value. Unfortunately a lot of events being run in this country seem to be completely overpriced. IT@Cork are running a conference in November.
