My mother will be moving house within the next couple of weeks.
Hardly newsworthy or even worthy of a blog post .. but when you consider the amount of trouble she had with the entire process of building the house you quickly realise it’s a milestone

Of course now both my mother and my sister have houses of their own, so I feel a bit left out (Though considering the way the property market is now I don’t expect to do anything about that in the immediate future)

I’m always curious to know which sites people visit on a regular basis, so this morning I asked people on Twitter which sites they went to.

Engadget seems to be a very popular choice.

Other ones people mentioned included The Register, Silicon Republic (for the headlines), Gizmodo, Ars Technica, Wired and TUAW

So which ones do you read?

I’ve never been happy with the way that Enterprise Ireland’s ebusiness mailing list is managed.

It’s moderated.
It’s not in realtime
The “rules” aren’t applied in a uniform or sane manner
People can post anonymously

Earlier this week I decided to unsubscribe myself from the Enterprise Ireland ebusiness list.
I doubt if I’ll be going back

Why?

A combination of factors (as mentioned above), but what really did it for me was that not only do they moderate the list but they allow people to impersonate others.

Someone actually posted to the list as “Mickey Mouse” and it was let through as valid.

Enough already.

I don’t see why my tax euro should be funding this kind of rubbish when there are much better forums out there.
