We’re insanely busy but life has to go on. PJ is off to NYCC from 6-8th February and Phil is off on holiday this week and then off to SXSW from 13-17th March.

We’ve been working on EyeCandy #3 and #4 while, at the same time, beavering away at the TOP SECRET PROJECT which we’re hoping to announce very soon. NDAs are incredibly frustrating

Chinwag have announced the list of companies they are taking on the Digital Mission to SXSWi in March (I say “taking” but you have to realise that the Digital Mission costs £500 in addition to your flights and accommodation so it’s not a funded trip by any means.). As far as I can tell, only one Northern Ireland company is represented here.

They write:

Congratulations to the companies selected by the advisory board to attend the Digital Mission to SXSWi and listed amongst the 35 hottest digital SMEs in the UK.

It’s a shame that other companies were not included in the trade mission as we have some extremely compelling companies starting out here in the province.
