Hope you’re getting a grant to pay for the wifi! you’d imagine a venue hosting the blog awards would kick in free wifi for all…
This is so cool. It reminds me of watching Celtic beat Aberdeen on penalties, which I watched on CeeFax a long time again.
Apologies – the excitement had me reverse that result. I think Rick should play requests up there from those who can’t be there – kind of like telegrams at a wedding.
[...] Update: Suzy Byrne has all the winners on her blog. Congratulations to beaut.ie, winner of Best Newcomer, and RedMum, winner of Best Personal blog. It seems that the winner of “Best Contribution” – Bernie Goldbach – passed his award on to Damien Mulley. Fair played to Bernie – he’s done an awful lot for Irish blogging and technology in General through his work in Tipperary Institute and was a deserving winner. Damien was excluded from the shortlist as show organiser. [...]
Well done everyone, and Bravo for blogging live!
[...] Maman Poulet and her rooster are sitting at home after a hectic evening. (Eddie Rockets never tasted so good!) Apologies to all those I did not meet or in fact was rude to as I helped out with registration and tickets etc. I live blogged the results from the back of the room on Elana’s mac after remembering that my wireless card is not working at the moment and the GPRS on the xda failed!! Pity that they were lugged over to the hotel before I figured that out. The full winners list is here and I double checked it when I got home in case I missed anyone. The site went down a few times during the updates which is interesting as is the number of visitors – a reflection on the interest outside of the room in the results? [...]
Congratulations.
There’s a not-surprising lack of blog entries across the board this morning. must have been a late one last night.
[...] Maman Poulet has posted the list of winners from last night’s blog awards. [...]
[...] Finally, big thanks to all the organisers and especially Suzy, who live blogged the results of all the awards from the back of the room. A full list of all the winners can be found here. [...]
[...] Maman Poulet has posted up a list of the winners from the Irish Blog Awards. I am disapointed not to have won Most Handsome Blogger but well done to all those who won. [...]
[...] I’m one of the people giving Damien a hand tomorrow so say hello when you arrive or later in the night. I’ll also be doing my usual attempt at live blogging the results as they happen. (Pop culture historians might be interested in 2007 here and 2006 somewhere here). [...]
