I’m not one to whore my name out that often, but this is for a good cause. Shauneen just invited me to a Rally to “reinstate HPV vaccine programme” and to force Harney to u-turn. Harney is up the creek already from today’s news.. we may as well rub it in!
Pop on over to the facebook page and make sure to Invite your friends to join.
I’m not too sure about the Candlelit Vigil bit, maybe that’s to keep people warm?

I would like to say a big thanks to everyone who turned out last night for our meet-up. I was taken back by the number of people actually who showed! There was a good mix of new and old faces, we must have had about 18-20 people show up. If anyone has any photos please send them over.
We hope to do another official meet-up on the 16th of Jan, more details to follow. That said, I will be meeting up with people some time in Dec too. Invite only, sorry guys!
On another note, as the Geansai Gorm competition is nearing a close, bluejumperireland.com has joined forces with the recently banned bluejumperirish.com site (in an attempt to pool some link juice resources). Also, as part of our newly invented blogger foreign exchange programme.. I will be joining in as one of the first contributors on “This Week on Irish Blogs” from Roger Galligan (aka IrishBlogs.ie)

A new modeling agency Rogue Model Management is set to launch their Model Gallery next week. Some of the country’s latest top models will be taking to the catwalk next Wednesday (November 19th) for a spectacular evening, celebrating the launch of new agency Rogue Model Management.
The agency was set up last June by Fiona Roche, publicity manager for Lillie’s Bordello and the Porterhouse Group along with her business partner, photographer, Darren Butler. So far they have signed up 35 models, many of whom are well known in Ireland and a number of whom have featured on the international circuit.
The launch event, at Dakota in South William Street, starts at 7pm with cocktails and canapés and continues with a glittering display of designer labels by ten of the agency’s leading models.
Back to the calling on fashion / entertainment bloggers. If any of you fancy any invite to this exclusive event please let me know.

I’m heading down to barcamp cork later this evening. The plan is to fly down on the 20:20 flight with Ryanair. Hopefully I will see you all there! If anyone is staying in the lancaster lodge let me know as a few of us staying three.
On another note Geansai Gorm has been launched by Damien Mulley, its basically a S E O competition to see who can rank for the term Geansai Gorm also known as Geansaí Gorm and can be translated from Irish to blue jumper.
My Gorm entry had some issues because of DNS problems. The site is not showing up yet and was only verified yesterday evening after the DNS holding page expired from googles DNS cache. Take a look at Google for the upcoming pages.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping Donncha O Caoimh out by contributing to the Wordpress Tweet Tweet plugin.
I added support for vodafone.ie free texts. You can now receive a SMS message (via vodafone.ie free text) when someone sends you a reply or direct message.
Try out the plugin and let us know what you think!
