Why Google Wave is a Big Deal
November 29, 2009I’ve been using the alpha version of google wave for about a month and a half, and I have to say that I’m a fan. This post is mostly about saying why I’m a fan and also why I think that google wave is going to change the way we communicate through text. The reason [...]

o2: Paying more than you intended
August 30, 2009I was reading the register recently, it had said that under new EU law roaming now had capped prices. I may have misread it, I can’t find the article, but I believed it said that data roaming charges within the EU are also capped at 1 euro per MB. As someone who has been bitten [...]

The Hosting 365 Cloud
May 11, 2009When I restarted this blog I had the idea that every post must provide the reader with some useful information. It has to be worth reading.

Not impressed with Blacknight
February 10, 2009This is my second post on Blacknight, it won’t be as clinical or as favourable as my previous one. To surmise, over the past while I’ve found them to be inadequate on so many levels, the company has spent more than the difference between the average insanely expensive provider in Ireland and any Blacknight shared [...]

Blacknight
January 7, 2009Edit: I have an update on blacknight that you may want to read http://lacy.ie/not-impressed-with-blacknight/ I’ve been using blacknight for a week or so at this stage. My first encounter with them was in my search to for a host that would provide .Net 3.5 support. As always hosting companies are reluctant to do anythign that [...]
