Best of luck to everyone. I just paid 120 quid on RENTing a tux for the night. Crazy price. All just to keep y’all updated. Very best of luck to the bloggers nominated: Grandad, Denise Cox and Krishna De.
Also best of luck to Eamon McGrane and Ciara O’Brien for the Journalist Award.
Thanks Damien!
Where’s your Twitter site so I can see whether Denise of Krishna won?
Best of luck Damien. Bit late now but John Laurence on Thomas Street only charge 70 quids for a tux.
I’m disappointed to hear that a respectable young gent like yourself doesn’t own a tux!
@Grandad: Here are the sites:

Good luck in tonight’s comp, btw.
Thanks Alexia. 🙂
It’s the first time I’ve seen Twitter! That’s what comes of being a Luddite.
Sure it’s Good Luck to everyone – especially Damien..
It’s a grand old thing, Grandad.. And you are not a Luddite 🙂 You probably are doing far more important things..
You ought to sign up to it. I like to send off a few lines when I get miffed or see something nice I want to share with folks.
Re Damien B above:
Nah, you know you have really made it when it’s a nuisance because your other tux is at the dry cleaner’s.
I had to buy one I was going to so many of these things. Best of luck to everyone tonight.
120? Ouch! I got a discount from my local supplier last year as I was going to so many events… I’ll have to get one over the weekend for next Thursday’s gig
Best of luck to Damien and all the others

Am I the first to say congrats on your win? 🙂
Congrats man. Thoroughly deserved
[…] Damien wins best Technology Journalist at Net Visionary awards. Warm congrats. I would have liked to see him win the Social Contribution award too, but he was cruelly knocked off before the shortlist. Bah. It would have been nice if organisers would have actually allowed all of the winners to make speeches. Are they afraid of something? And don’t throw the ’speeches would make the show too long’ excuse at me. […]
Starts campaign to buy Damien a tux…seriously though the next time will ya ring me cos I can get you one for half that price….shakes head.
Very happy for you and I too want to hear the speech!
Congratulations, Damien, well deserved.
You might as well shell out and buy a tux – so that there will be at least one well dressed person at the Blog Awards next year!
Congratulations, Damien. I was rootin’ for ya! So the suit was worth it after all? [Maybe that’s what tipped the scales?]
Ohh congratulations! Well deserved! 🙂
Kudos to your Sir! (caps intended) 😉
Well done – I suppose.
Congratulatons !!!.
Congrats, Damien. And thanks the for the shout the other time — was away on holliers.
Congratulations Damien. Well deserved!!
New Online Campaign…
As an old hand at online campaigning I decided itÂ’s time to get back into the groove. This time itÂ’s for a worthwhile cause, something very dear to all bloggers and will be of immense importance in the coming years.
Before I reveal the utterly des…
Hi Damien
Congratulations, you surely deserve it! I was beside you yesterday at the Microsoft table. I was nominated in the social contribution category like you and was sad when your name was not picked. Glad you got it in another category.
Apprently we will have to meet again next week, this time for the Golden Spider Awards! I will be in the Best education category for a project I developed called Webwise. I wish you good luck, this time for your blog.
See you soon and I hope you have to keep the tux for next week 😉

123 buckaroonies? For one night?
And congratulations from me too! You should spend the prize money on an bespoke tux. . . What? No prize money! For shame…
