Ignite Limerick

Last Wednesday (April 6th) I attended the first Ignite night to take place in Limerick. The event was hosted by Limerick IxDA. There were ten presentations made (each using 20 slides, 20 seconds each slide). Two of my lecturers presented: Gabriela Avram on Milklabs and Mikael Fernstrom on various projects he has worked on using PD. Also of interest to me were the presentations by another previous lecturer of mine, Trevor Hogan, on the Ars Electronica festival and the participation by CIT students in 2010 and Dermot McNally's demo of the Open Street Map.
Hopefully there are plans for another similar event soon. Looking forward to it...

Abandoned Spots around Limerick

I've been noticing many abandoned buildings around the city since I've moved here. I would like to do a series of photographs of these places if time permits. I went to this building on Musgrave St. today mainly to take a photo of the door/gate that leads around to the back. Absolutely fantastic looking.
