Over the last few days I have been building a new blog focussing on Green issues, it is at Lowerfootprint.com.

From now on, this is where I will be posting all my Green-related content – thanks for bearing with me as I polluted the stream here with non-tech-related content.

On the back of a suggestion from James Governor I am going to set up a blog dedicated to Green issues. I have a strong interest in this area and have presented internationally on the topic but I don’t post much about it (and when I do post here, I feel I am polluting the stream with unrelated posts).

So, any suggestions for a great (available) domain name?

I have a Fire Eagle invite code as a prize! I will decide on a winner tomorrow (Friday 7th at 6pm GMT).

I uploaded the presentation I gave at the IWTC conference last week to SlideShare.net.

The talk is entitled “Why Blog?” – and is aimed at helping educate companies on the potential advantages of blogging to their business.

I have embedded a copy below -

The 2008 Irish Blog Awards are on this evening thanks to a monumental amount of work by the awards founder and organiser Damien Mulley.

Unfortunately, for the first time, I can’t make it along to the awards this year. It is really disappointing as it really is a great event

I hope everyone who goes along this evening has a total blast.

Just saw over on Frank’s site that Glengariffe Lodge, a Luxury Self Catering destination in West Cork, are running a competition with a prize of a weekend away worth €1175!

Full details are on the competition page but basically, as well as linking to the hotel in your blog post, you also need to link to a friend who may be interested in a luxury weekend away in beautiful West Cork (making the competition a bit viral – clever sods!).

Please don’t anyone else enter this competition as you will reduce my chances of winning!!!

When I was in Barcelona for TechEd last year Charles Torre did a video interview with me. We had a wide ranging chat about data centre energy efficiency strategies, blogs/blogging and the Death Star!

Charles emailed me last night to let me know that the interview has now been published on Channel 9 (Channel 9 is a very high trafficked online forum where videos are posted and discussions on those videos take place).

It has already been viewed over 600 times!

The player is SilverLight and doesn’t appear to work on the Mac for some reason but there is a link to a .wmv version of the video so you can download and watch locally.
