Irish sites and blogs have "My Brain Fried!"

Ok, so I read and subscribe to some of the Irish blogs and visit the web sites now and again.

So I decided (as part of latest quest) to go check them all out. I "think" I've visited nearly any blog or web site connected with startups, funding, technology etc...
and my brain is fried!

I'll left several comments on some blogs and been corresponding with a few people via email/Skype. Some of the sites had 'commenting' issues and a few required subscription (duh!)

For those that subscribe to "Irish have the gift of the gab" there were a few sites that just went on and on and on... (as in they've been blogging 4 quite awhile and write frequently) e.g. Damien, Donncha and Pat ...

Noticed also that several (mostly woman?) don't indicate their name and prefer to live behind their 'blog handle'. Most annoying as takes some time 2 track down (even if its just for my bookmarks - which by the way need a complete overhaul at this stage)

I also have a habit of going back thru all the blog entries so can be time consuming but often find some interested tidbits especially regd. previous work etc..


So here are a list of the comments I've dropped (well most of them):

I'll be writing the 'current state of affairs' or something like that in coming days (after I get some zzzz...)
