ABOUT ME

Photo of Fergus CassidyThis site is owned and maintained by Fergus Cassidy, an Irish writer and freelance journalist (member National Union of Journalists)

DISCLOSURE: I've been a member of the Internet Society since 2000 and am a founding member of Digital Rights Ireland.

ETHOS COLUMN: From July 2000 to January 2006 I wrote a weekly column about new media and technology in the Sunday Tribune, an Irish national newspaper. The columns are archived on the left.

THE SITE IS DEDICATED TO: My mother Maura (1921-2000) and father Michael (1917-1986). Dad eagerly shared his life-long fascination with how and why, electronics in particular. In her battle with depression, Mam showed me the true meaning of 'no surrender'.

BUIOCHAS: To Gerard Siggins for leaving the door ajar. To The Sunday Tribune, where I worked from 1989 to 2006. I'm indebted to that paper's former business editor Brian Carey and former editor Matt Cooper for their encouragement and support.

I owe many pints to Michael Cregg and Adam Jewell [amp] for helping me to RTFM!
