Nenagh.pl for sale

Published at February 15, 2008 in Nenagh. 6 Comments

As some of you knows - I am the owner and the creator of a few Polish websites for Irish towns. One of them is Nenag.pl
It provides information about the town for the Polish emigrants, together with the discussion forum.
Due to the fact that for the last 10 months I have been living both in Carlow/Ireland and in Poland I can not update the site.
Due to the end of the hosting period I have decided to shut down the service or to sell it.
The price for the domain and service is 2000 Euro.

Let me know if you are insterested

Some new old photos of Ireland

Published at September 15, 2007 in Photos, Nenagh, Carlow and Dublin. 2 Comments

There was not so many entries on Ireland on my blog recently. It is due to my 2 weeks visit to Poland, and due to the fact that after my coming back to Ireland I got (yet again) chest infection. Unfortunately, these days I couldn’t afford not to go to work, however I found some useful job to do avoiding to much physical effort - I was dealing with aerial photography marking on the photos shadowmarks (or cropmarks) that possibly indicated archaeological features. The pattern I got is roughly good picture of the archaeological situation - since we have been working on Anglo Norman village. The other good thing is a hot spot on the site, so while I was working on my laptop sitting in the jeep (used as a power supply) I could check my e-mails and I was listening to my favourite Polish radio. After coming back home, usually I was very tired and coughing, so I was in bed quite early. Unfortunately I am still ill.

However I found some time and energy to deal with some old photos prepared for my photoblog. Since couple of them are photos of Ireland I am posting them here as well. If you want to see bigger versions, just browse to www.kozerawski.com

Nenagh.pl in Nenagh Guardian. Heading own business.

Published at March 16, 2007 in Nenagh and Carlow. 5 Comments

Inside the latest issue of Nenagh Guardian you can find a bilingual article about my project of Polish community of Nenagh web portal Nenagh.pl. I am glad that there is a English version of that text available for Irish people who may will be interested in co-operating, participating or just in buying advert space. There have been some feedback since the publication of it, both from Poles (they are registering on Nenagh.pl forum) and some from Irish as well.

Parallel to works on Nenagh.pl I am working on Carlow.pl. The service is almost done and almost ready for opening. In forthcoming weeks I will be looking for potential Irish co-operators, advert space buyers in Carlow, and I will be dealing with registration of my Sole Proprietorship. If you can help me with gather information about it and possible UE grants please let me know.

Meanwhile, I have just come back to Ireland, but I can’t get rid of bad luck as far as health of mine and my wife is concerned. I am ill, and I have fever, headache, and earache, due to extraction of one of my teeth. I hope I will be able to go for tonight Clannad concert.

Nenagh - St Mary’s of the Rosary - Beauty of the neogothic churches

While I was working on Polish web community portal www.nenagh.pl I took many pictures to add them to the text content of that service. Yesterday I was dealing with those photos and I have realized that I had some good shots of catholic church St Mary’s of the Rosary, the tall one in Nenagh.

Here are those photos (click to enlarge):

Backwater or virginland? Thinking about my own business in Ireland

Published at February 9, 2007 in Technology in Ireland, Nenagh and blog. 8 Comments

As I wrote a couple of days ago, Ireland is an Internet backwater despite of being a European centre of great IT and computer brands.

I haven’t changed my opinion about the very low quality of Internet services, especially about the helpless quality of Vodafone 3G. The reality in the other parts of IT is not good as well. In Ireland, Internet as a medium seems to be a unwanted child by many, especially by some of the local authorities - in example Nenagh.

Have you visited official Nenagh website - www.nenagh.ie? Apart of some usefull information about accommodation and buses it is not a convincing promo of the town. There is not so many photos showing tourist attractions in the town and its vicinity.

Apart of small forum on boards.ie Nenagh has no local coumunity web service (we call it portal in Polish) - kind of a local newspaper and forum online.

It concerns not only Nenagh and not only Irish community but Polish too. Apart of some good - let me call it - nationwide “Polish in Ireland” webservices there is no local ones that aim at the Polish communities of small towns - like Nenagh.

Ireland compared to Poland, seems to be a virgin land to start its own IT or electronic media business. For the last couple of weeks I have been thinking about that very much and about setting up my private, self-employed business.

Meanwhile, for the last 10 days I have been working (mostly at night) on a first community webservice (Portal) of Polish community in Nenagh. Due to my experiences in bloging (I got lot of e-mails full of thanks for providing information about Carlow and Nenagh) my intention is to provide as much as possible up to date data and information about Nenagh and to create a web platform that will assemble Polish community and maybe will help in its integration in Irish society.

It is still under construction, and it needs about one or two weeks of work, but the service is operating and providing some useful information for local Polish community. Check this out: www.nenagh.pl

It is based on Drupal 5.1 engine.
