Tom Raftery Dinner

By on November 13, 2006 in General

Tom Raftery is presenting at Microsoft in Brussels on Friday. He was asking if anyone from the Belgian blog community would like to have a dinner with him afterwards and I said I would organise this. This will mean a cheap but lovely restaurant in the centre of Brussels :) . I promise to have the place sorted out by tomorrow and if anyone would like to join please leave a comment on the blog. Dinner is this Friday (the 17th of November) at 19.30.

From my experience, Tom is a nice guy and a very popular Irish blogger/podcaster. I really like that he is very honest about the wide range of new technologies out there and not scared to publish his dissatisfaction about his negative experiences. He also writes passionately about business blogging and the dearth of it in Ireland. The blog is definitely worth a read…
