Donnybrook Hotel Observation

To whom it may concern,

Myself and my wife, Ciara, would like to add our voices to those observing against the proposed development at 1–3 The Crescent in Donnybrook.

As residents in the area for the past 12 years, we have no objection in principle to the establishment of a new hotel. A case in point is the Hampton Hotel, which provides local amenity, is set back from the road and is delightfully in keeping with the rest of the village.

The proposed designs appear to have been put together without any consideration for the aesthetic, the history and the preservation of the spirit of Donnybrook Village.

It feels like the proposed development has been designed in a vacuum, and there is nothing in the plans to reflect how the architects sought to marry the legacy of the existing village with their vision for the future.

So Coded 2015 Script

SO Coded 2015 - The MC Script

Thursday

Having given the last talk at So Coded 2013, I was delighted to be asked to come and MC the 2015 edition of the conference. The last time I MC'ed at an event, I found that briefly interviewing speakers before their slot led to a lot of randomness and, in one case, introducing the wrong speaker. So I decided to try and introduce a very loose narrative, based on a picaresque journey that represented the conference’s thematic arc, but with lots of my favourite pop culture references. Many thanks to Julia, Ole and Thorben for having me back.

I’ve added notes in italics just in case any of the (obvious, but obviously obvious to me) references aren’t clear. Much of the sense of these little bits are with apologies to Jennifer Brook and her time machine from Úll

In order to register for this event, you must agree to the following:
1) You must agree to the [publicity release](http://link-to-publicity-release)
2) You must agree to the [waiver](http://link-to-waiver)
