After being away from N.Ireland for years and coming back I wanted to give it a while and give it my best shot but here we are 16 months later still no full time job in the IT industry. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/31/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/31/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=31 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:01:42 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=31 Finally I have the opportunity to get my Microsoft Certifications, the first three of the MCAD Certification is due to be taken in the next few days swiftly followed by the next 2 http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/30/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/30/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=30 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:49:39 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=30 Since June I have been part of Steorns "300" group which was setup to have a look at their research material and help validate that technology is sound. As of December 15th Steorn released their technology to the world. They are even live streaming the video of the device via their website. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/29/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/29/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=29 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:07:06 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=29 N.Irelands best technology blog picked up the news about making to the end of the Business Boot Camp http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/28/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/28/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=28 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:40:26 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=28 The Graduation Ceremony @ The Belfast Castle http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/27/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/27/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=27 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:19:59 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=27 I have been tweaking and tweaking the business plan to make sure that it has the right impact to all those who will be reading it. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/26/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/26/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=26 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:56:19 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=26 The NISP CONNECT VC Forum will showcase six promising companies in the region to a panel of 15 venture capital providers from the UK and Ireland looking to fund investments. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/25/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/25/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=25 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:38:50 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=25 I was recently made aware of a lecture coming up in Queens University in Belfast by Noam Chomsky. I quickly learned that the lecture was of particular interest because it will talk about grass roots activism, social media and its use in the election of Obama. As the R8 Your Politician sites are getting closer to launch with the new political year approaching fast and I thought it would be great to get Mr Chomsky's view on the sites and its wider implications for the democratic system. I sent an email to Mr Chomsky asking would he be up for a short interview when he arrives in Belfast. To my surprise I received a reply. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/24/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/24/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=24 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:43:05 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=24 Since June I have been involved in research with a Dublin based company called Steorn. Steorn have claimed to have developed an over unity device. Steorn requested 300 companies or suitability qualified individuals to engage with them to validate the technology. That process is on going and we all await the release of the core Orbo Technology this Thursday. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/23/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/23/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=23 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:19:05 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=23 Starting a business is not an easy process, it takes dedication and drive to push through when times are hard. I built most of R8 Your Politician while I was unemployed. All i had was free time so I used every night and every day to build what I could. I registered with the HSBC because they were offering 18 months free Business banking. It got even better when I was told by HSBC that they Partnered with Microsoft and that I was eligible to join Microsoft's BizSpark Programme. http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/22/Default.aspx http://www.patricklismore.com/MyBlog/tabid/157/EntryID/22/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.patricklismore.com/Default.aspx?tabid=157&EntryID=22 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:44:25 GMT 0 http://www.patricklismore.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=22
