it@cork are running another Blog Training course commencing on Wednesday May 9th.
I will be giving the training and it is open to members of it@cork for a charge of €50 and to non-members for a charge of €100.
The course will be run over 5 consecutive weeks on Wednesday mornings at 09:30 for an hour each morning.
The course has been sponsored by Microsoft Ireland on the condition that we record the training and subsequently podcast it (!) and that we don’t slag off Microsoft too much!!! I think we can live with those conditions, thanks Microsoft.
If you are interested in participating, you can sign up for the course on the it@cork blog training page (look for the Register link) or call it@cork on 230 7011.
it@cork are running a half day seminar on ASP.Net AJAX on Friday March 23rd. ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft’s free framework for creating Web 2.0 sites which are cross-browser compatible (cross-browser, yes, from Microsoft!).
Speakers include author Jeff Prosise, Yagiz Erkan from DeCare and Rob Burke from Microsoft Ireland.
Sign up for the event is on the it@cork website

I see Salim reporting that he has started a new job with Yahoo! Congrats Salim.
Salim has been hired to head up Yahoo! Brickhouse - a new semi-autonomous Yahoo! R&D house which will create new apps for Yahoo! or to be spun off. Yahoo! Pipes was a Yahoo! Brickhouse project, for example.
Salim has been here in Cork several times, most recently speaking at a number of it@cork events (including the now infamous it@cork Web 2.0 mini-conference) and before that Salim lived in Cork for a year or so while he was involved in setting up BUPA Ireland in Fermoy.
I can’t wait to see what he does with the Brickhouse - an interesting project, led by an even more interesting guy.
I listened to Conn’s podcast interview with Michael Byrne of QBC Ltd over the weekend.
It was great. Conn and Michael are using podcasts in a very innovative way to radically improve internal company communications.
I’m really looking forward to Conn’s presentation at the it@cork Podcasting for Business event tomorrow night now!
it@cork are running an evening event on Podcasting for your Business this coming Tuesday evening (27th February).
Brian Greene and Conn O’Muineachain, the two guest speakers addressing the event are two of Ireland’s top podcasters having won the Netvisionaries Podcasting award last year and the Digital Media Awards Grand Prix award this year respectively!
Conn will be discussing Podcasting for internal company communications (training, best practice, recognition, etc.) while Brian will focus on how easy podcasting is to do, and how the public facing parts of corporate Ireland should be looking at it.
I’ll be chairing the event and moderating the q&a.
The event is free to it@cork member companies and €20 to non-members. This is a great opportunity to meet two of Ireland’s foremost podcasters, I strongly recommend going along, even if you are only wondering what all this podcasting stuff is all about anyway!

Eddie Hobbs gave the keynote address at the recent it@cork conference.
It was a wide-ranging, interesting and very topical talk.
This afternoon I published a recording of his address on the it@cork blog. It is 55 minutes long (including the q & a at the end) but well worth taking the time to listen to.
