Somehow or other, I seem to have won the 2009 Irish Blog Award for Best Technology Blog/Blogger!
To be honest, for the last year I haven’t been spending as much time on the blog as before, due mainly to a rather compelling distraction, so I’m doubly grateful for winning.
Unfortunately, I was out of the country, at Nishad and Janet’s wedding, so missed my chance to get up on stage and thank my fellow bloggers in person — but I asked John to do so instead. Seems he in turn got stage fright and delegated to his missus, who picked up the trophy. Thanks Fiona! That’s probably just as well, since I’m pretty incoherent in that kind of situation myself.
Cheers to my fellow nominees, Eoghan, Robin, Michele and Pat. One of you guys should totally have won ;)
And last of all — cheers to BitBuzz for sponsoring the category, and Mulley for the whole bash. I definitely have to turn up next year!
Now I need to put more time in this year to really earn that award…
