Maybe I’ll start blogging in English again. The topic of neglected blogs came up on Saturday while I was chatting with Alan O’Rourke at the inaugural Irish Web Awards. It was great to see Alan again, and to meet his wife Mary, who engaged me in conversation “as Gaeilge”!

I’m not going to go and list everyone I met at the awards, but I have to give a special mention to Caroline and her friend Tríona, who makes yummy cakes in Athy. Oh – and David and Deborah who introduced me to them, and Ken who I was takling to in the line before I met them, and John and Tommy who shared my taxi from Heuston, and Peter D, and Aido and Dusty and Rick and Brian and Roseanne and Maryrose, and Joe and Darren and Darragh and Walter (Congrats!) and ConorO, and Cathal from Focal.ie who won the award we sponsored, and Jason and Robin and Elly and Marie and John macawilliams, and Eoghan and Gordon and John and Sabrina – who was the design genius behind two winners on the night (congrats also to Debz who I didn’t meet, and to Pat who twittered and Qik’d from JFK!)

So I’m not going to list everyone. That would be silly – and I’d be sure to leave someone out.

… like Damien, maybe? Well done once again, Mr. Mulley.
