That's pretty cool :)

Yes I'll admit it. I am more than a little passionate about domain names.So when I had the opportunity to acquire the domain michele.me I leaped at it.
(If you look at whois you'll see it's still in transit)
So now I've updated this site to use michele.me instead of mneylon.me or mneylon.com, though the other domains all point here as well.
Why michele.me?
Because .me is a cool domain extension and Michele is my first name!
Want a .me domain name? Check out our latest offers here (hint - they're really good value!)
I've always been a very strong believer in "eating my own dog food", so when we started offering .tel domain names I got one for myself and started using it. I've had a few .me domains since the launch, but apart from using a couple for work, I hadn't moved any of my personal sites over to .me
That, as you can see in your browser's address bar, has now changed.
Mneylon.com will still resolve, but you'll be moved to mneylon.me
I was half thinking of using micheleneylon.me, but it's a bit long.. What do you think?
In any case this site is now residing under mneylon.me
And if you want to get a .me domain for your own blog or project head over to the only Irish registrar for .me domains - Blacknight and grab one now

It's Easter, so I won't be working "officially" on Monday (I think I might be involved in a conference call, though I'm in two minds about it).
I'll be heading off for the weekend to spend some time with family and to catch up on my reading.
If you're looking for a domain name check out our latest offer (see nice big image!)
Have a great Easter!
Any excuse for a special offer is a good excuse in my mind, so this week being the week that it is ie. St Patrick's Day is Wednesday, we've launched yet another silly domain offer.
And again we've got a silly graphic to promote it (see above) ..
Full details over on the company blog (hint - you'll save money on domain names - in case the post title wasn't obvious enough!)

As part of my "let's use those domains" plan I finally put a new Home Cinema Discussion site live at the weekend.
I picked up the domain about a year ago, but it had been sitting "gathering dust", so I'm happy to see it's now in use .. hopefully the site will get some traffic and attract a few active members in the coming weeks / months...
Now where did I leave that list of domains?

I'd have to be the first one to admit it. I have an annoying habit of registering domains then forgetting about them or simply not having the time / energy to do anything meaningful with them.So I love it when I'm actually able to get something up and running on a domain that is functional and hopefully of some use. Emphasis on hopefully!
A few months ago I picked up carlow.biz. It was available, though it was registered a few times in the past to other people.
So with the aid of Forbairt Media's graphic skills, the new Carlow business directory is now live.
Yes - it's still a work in progress (the design is still being tweaked), but if you're based in Carlow and have a site that should be included please submit it! It won't cost you anything.
For the SEO types ...
All the links are clean, direct links.
And of course it's hosted by Blacknight.
I've just posted this on the company blog, but thought I'd mention it here as well...
You can now grab a .ie domain name for the ultra-low price of EUR2.99 ex-VAT via Blacknight (the domain registrar and hosting company I founded)
Use coupon code: chrimbo

With only a few shopping days left to Christmas we've been having a bit of fun in work.
Since we became an ICANN accredited registrar earlier this year we've been working on getting our accreditation up and running.
We've also been working closely with a lot of the registries to get good pricing on domains, so that we can pass on discounts to our clients where possible.
So a while back I registered a nice shiny .me domain name to push the domain offers - domainoffers.me (not very subtle, but do I need to be?)
We've been adding new discounts to it over the last while and yesterday we added yet another nice one which should be a nice pre-Christmas present for our Irish clients - .ie domains discounted yet again!
Register OR transfer an IE domain for a mere €16.95 / year - no restrictions on the number of domain years you want either and all domains come with FREE DNS.
We've also cut the price on .com registrations AND transfers down to a paltry €4.99 until the end of the year, which is a pretty aggressive price.
Now I'm off to grab more pressies for relatives and friends online ...
