This week's podcasting on An tImeall has a strong flavour of Tostal na Gaeilge. Imeall #105 went up on Monday, and features the music of Aran islands' singer Lasairfhiona Ni Chonaola who gave a concert on Friday night. Later in the week I'll have a competition to win a copy of Lasairfhiona's latest CD.

Tostal Podcasts
March 29, 2006Thank You FeedDemon
March 29, 2006It was all getting to be a bit much there lately. Hundreds of feeds. Browsing blogs in Bloglines. Downloading podcasts in Juice (but not getting to see anything else in those feeds). I want it all in one place: browsable, readable, aggregated, clippable, synchronised, online, offline, portable.
Many years ago I had a similar difficulties looking for [...]
Liveblogging Tóstal na Gaeilge
March 24, 2006Tóstal na Gaeilge is a bi-annual conference organised by the Irish language umbrella body Comhdháil Náisúnta na Gaeilge. I’m here to talk about podcasting but I hope to take part in as many of the other sessions as I can.
This morning I gave a presentation to secondary school transition year students about social networking tools. [...]
Tóstal na Gaeilge
March 24, 2006Táim ag triall ar Ghaillimh ar maidin inniu. Heading to Galway for Tóstal na Gaeilge, the bi-annual Irish language conference. This year’s theme is “An Chéad Ghlúin Eile” (”The Next Generation”).
I’m looking forward to hearing some great speakers and perhaps meeting some old friends. Agus tá “gig” beag agam féin ar “imeall” an aonaigh! Today I’ll [...]
The Gaelic Podcaster’s Manifesto
March 20, 2006Back in October I wrote a letter to the Irish language weekly paper Foinse. It never got to them, because their email was down for weeks, and so was my printer! I was too busy (and stubborn) to go out of my way to get it printed and mailed, and, although they eventually gave me [...]

Gmail Targets Advertising based on “Unsupported Language”
March 15, 2006Google won’t let An tImeall join their Adsense program because it’s in an “unsupported language“. However Gmail obviously has no problem figuring out that the person reading this mail might might be interested in Irish lessons, (or a Scottish lairdship!)
What a Weekend!
March 14, 2006Irish blogs are still buzzing with the impact of Saturday’s Irish Blog Awards. Relationships which were formed in text have been given impetus by the physical encounter, and it seems like everyone is discussing new ideas and exciting collaborations.
The awards were the highlight of a busy weekend for me which included the podcastingireland.com launch, Fine Gael’s meeting [...]
Baby’s First Mashup
March 9, 2006My son turns two next month. He speaks English and Irish, but at this stage he doesn’t fully separate the two. This is normal development for a bilingual child. Right now he’s busy acquiring new words in both languages - plenty of time to sort them out later!
It can have some interesting results, like using [...]
Post Publishes Watershed Article on Business Podcasting in Ireland
March 5, 2006Brian posted a heads up to the Irish Podcasters mailing list about this article in the Computers In Business section of today’s Sunday Business Post. It’s an excellent article, the first I’ve seen in the Irish media that demonstrates an understanding of podcasting.
Brian himself was interviewed. His company, Doop Design, are producing podcasts for business clients, including the [...]
