The Corbally Suite of Oriel House Hotel has been booked on August 7th for the day for an informal brainstorming session for applications for Seedcamp.
Last week, Conor O’Neill created a poll to see if there was any interest in a meet up like this. There seems to be enough to warrant a group to get [...]

Below is the layout of the invoices eWrite Cork use to bill customers for setting up eWrite Lite on existing websites. The costs include a set up fee for 150 Euro and an annual fee for 200 Euro for support and updates.
It doesn’t include VAT at the moment as eWrite Cork doesn’t earn the amount [...]

Ironically, the broadband went down as I was writing this post so I have to post using Dial-up.
Almost every day I need to FTP files up to remote servers. For as long as I can remember, files and folders almost always fail to upload correctly. Whats worse is that it can sometimes LOOK like a [...]

For some time now I’ve had the luxury of having many of the websites using eWrite CMS on the same servers. This has allowed me to develop the eWrite CMS in the model of software as a service (SAAS).
The eWrite content manager was located on our own website. Clients could visit our site, log in [...]

The Tuesday push is part of a coordinated effort to spread the work of the Irish tech community.
This week, the Tuesday push is Pix.ie by Marcus Mac Innes.
A few months ago I asked a few contacts on Twitter if they could recommend a good web app for storing photos, several recommended pix.ie.
When using pix.ie, there [...]

Paying for it popped to mind, that was sorted quickly enough by adding the VISA Business network Application. [...]

Conor O Neill recently wrote a post on web2ireland.org regarding Seedcamp and putting in an application before the deadline.
In the comments, we talked about gathering a few people together from Cork with the aim of helping each other fill out the forms a little better than we might do on our own. I imagine I’d [...]

I’ve been thinking about putting a little box on this blog showing a counter of the number of users of eWrite products, would this fit with being open or is it vain or pointless?
Some of the products have low numbers, so I don’t think its going to be too vain.

I recently wrote about moving to greener pastures, virtually speaking. This blog is now hosted with Blacknight.
The reason for the move is that my previous hosting was on Microsoft Windows servers and simply put, it didn’t work.
Any Wordpress version above version 2.3.1 resulted in plenty of errors, blank screens upon logging in, not being able [...]

Very impressed with Damien Mulleys recent idea called the Tuesday Push in which every other Tuesday a spotlight is pointed at a growing Irish tech company.
Its a great way to see what others are working on and also a great way to get feedback from several sources about a product you may consider using or [...]
