Ignite The West

Ignite is coming to the West of Ireland. Ignite talks, where presenters get 20 slides and five minutes to make their point, are for anyone who wants to laugh, talk and be inspired and are held worldwide. Ignite the West starts Friday May 7th at 8pm at the Mill Times hotel, Westport. We hope to see some of you there for what should be a very enjoyable evening.

To give you a flavour of what Ignite talks can be about, I have included for your viewing my pal Ciaran Simms presenting his talk ”Pedestrian Crash Safety: a triumph of design in bioengineering” at Ignite Dublin #1.

Ada Lovelace Day

synergy — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 12:39:09 +0000

Professor Jane Grimson

Today, March 24th, is Ada Lovelace Day, an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science. Ada Lovelace is regarded as one of the world’s first computer programmers having written the world’s first computer programmes for the Analytical Engine, a general-purpose machine that Charles Babbage had invented. I first came across the great lady while studying the programming language “Ada” in my second year of Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin. You can find out more about Ada at the official Ada Lovelace Day website.

My contribution to the day is to write about Professor Jane Grimson. She was the first female engineering graduate of Trinity College Dublin in 1970. I had the privilege of joining her research group KDEG, in 1991 and acquiring my MSc. in computer science a few years later. As well as inspiring me, she has also inspired my sister, also an engineering graduate and now a lecturer at TCD.

Currently Director of the Centre of Health Informatics, Trinity College Dublin and Acting Director of Health Information, HIQA , she was recently awarded the O’Moore Medal by the Health Informatics Society of Ireland (HISI) in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the development of healthcare informatics in Ireland and throughout the world.

It has come to our attention that Seachtain na Gaeilge is being celebrated from 5th to 17th of March. We at Synergy Network would like to provide you with a couple of phrases “as Gaeilge” that you might like to use during the working day. I apologise in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes – my Irish is just not as excellent as it used to be. Please feel free to add your comments below…

Supplier	Soláthraí	Tá airgead agat orm	I owe you money.
Customer	Custaméir	Cé mhéad airgead atá amuigh agam?	How much money is owed to me?
Invoice	Sonrasc	Tá dearmad cló agamsa	I have a printing error

Enterprise and Innovation week, organised by IT Sligo, runs from February 22nd to 25th, 2010. The programme features seminars, workshops and events promoting entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity.

The schedule of events is available for download from the IT Sligo website. With the workshops already full, an Open Coffee Networking event and speakers such as Sean Gallagher of Dragon’s Den Fame presenting, it looks like an event well worth attending. We look forward to meeting some of you there.
