A nice event last night at the Bvlgari offices in Dublin with the French Ambassador and a wide selection of French and Irish notables. Lots to learn about the depth of connections between France and Ireland. Much to follow up on!

Sometimes you see stuff and think "Good man yourself". The Air India disaster remains the worst terrorist attack in European history, and one that's sadly all but forgotten. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Having seen a little bit of golf coverage this weekend, a question. What is it with the loons who shout "GET IN THE HOLE" after every shot?

There can be very few comeback stories like this one. A crash that could have ended his career. Two years of surgeries and pain and physio and pain. His dominance this year has perhaps not been great for the spectacle, but that's not his fault. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PjV...

This is the shirt I always needed.

Two words pop into my head as I read this. The words are "Bertie Ahern".

Several years ago, there was still doubt as to whether batteries or hydrogen would dominate in the truck market. The answer seems to be emerging. It's batteries. We've seen increased interest in DockChain in the trucking industry too. cleantechnica.com/2025/09/19/h...

Not work related. And if you weren't ever fascinated by sperm whales and giant squid you won't be interested. Otherwise, you gotta have a look at this. Actual film of an actual sperm whale eating an actual giant squid. bsky.app/profile/rebe...

Our certification (and opening of our funding round) are top of the page news on Business Plus in Ireland this morning. Here's the direct link to the article. businessplus.ie/ma/go-eve-fu... I presume something else will be top of the page eventually.

We got covered in the Irish Post, the biggest selling newspaper for the Irish in Britain. Nice placement for a company like us, which is Anglo-Irish/Hiberno-British all the way. www.irishpost.com/business/iri... And as always, learn more about us at goeve.com

A bit sad to see this level of squabbling. Still, Dassault may have a point. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Our certification (and opening of our funding round) are top of the page news on Business Plus in Ireland this morning. Here's the direct link to the article. businessplus.ie/ma/go-eve-fu... I presume something else will be top of the page eventually.

A nice report on our recent certification for the North America market. theevreport.com/go-eves-dock...

I gotta get some better press-ready photos made. Meantime, our certification news is getting to all sorts of places! Thanks to Business Eye for the mention www.businesseye.co.uk/business-ie/...

Another good article on AI on the IEEE. It links to a paper about intelligent agents on the internet and how they're the coming thing. The paper (image below) is from 1995. The IEEE article is - as always - a good read. spectrum.ieee.org/gpt-5-trough...

Meantime, I'm watching the solar system fall apart. I made a little solar system simulator at the weekend. Then added a few extra planets and set it loose. The first alignment and perturbation took a while, but then one thing led to another and then it all went to hell quite quickly after that.

Some good news at least. Though, to be fair, he'd have gotten about 20 votes.

Our DockChain solution has been covered in one of the larger British YouTube channels for electricians. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTX8...

Last weekend in the UK had me reaching for this post again. Remember, it's simple. Ireland is not British. Ireland is not a British Isle. Ireland is not one of the British Isles. British is not a geographical word. And again, I like Britain and British people.

DockChain works really well on public charging locations too. Eliminate the problem of blocked chargers. Eliminate the problem of an uncertain wait. Just plug in and charge. www.goeve.com/post/dockcha... Even if you have to wait a bit, wait with confidence. More at goeve.com/news #evcharging

I love how the journalists ignore it and just move on.

I'd only vaguely heard of Charlie Kirk before he was murdered. I'd agree with him on some stuff, and not agree on a lot. One of his main talking points about guns was the line "with or without gang-related murders". It was one of his more dishonest and often-repeated lines.

If you want to know more about DockChain, our brochure is online. Have a look. Let me know what you think! goeve562-my.sharepoint.com/personal/hug...

Robbie Naish is 62. Just letting you know. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoAG...

Quelle surprise. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/09/b...

We finally have our certification from ETL to the North American UL 2202 standard. US and Canada. It's EV charging as it always should have been. www.linkedin.com/posts/go-eve...

I like cars. I even particularly like Porsches. But this level of power and performance is stupidly pointless and inappropriate for road cars (and this isn't even particularly extreme). You want to drive fast? Do it on a track. You want to show off your wealth? Fund a new hospital somewhere.

Apparently UCD thinks that I am one of of their "outstanding" alumni of the year. alumni.ucd.ie/magazine/cla... There are a fair few. I gotta get a better picture.

Axios linked to a dashboard of data on the US School Bus fleet Main info? Only 2.9% of the US school bus fleet has been electrified DockChain can help speed that up. Know a school bus operator? Send them our way. Cheaper, faster, more flexible. Win-win-win app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrI...

Not me, but my youngest turns 18 this weekend. A headline day. He's a good lad. Already better at almost everything than I am. (not hard, you might say) The next generation will surpass us all. And that is as it should be.

Summer in Ireland. Imagine what the waves are like when it's not summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvoN...

The bottom line with Go Eve and DockChain. More charging for less. Less cost. More kWh. Less hassle. More EVs charged. See goeve.com/dockchain to learn more.

Wow.

One might hope that LinkedIn (apart from all the AI generated bullshit) might serve a useful purpose by connecting business people with other people and with new ideas. Apparently LinkedIn's hopes are not going in that direction.

There are many ongoing and highly contentions conversations about Ireland, about our defense policy, about our spend on defense, on our participation (or not) in military alliances, etc. This is a quote from a senior Swedish military figure nearly 100 years ago. It seems pertinent. And sensible.

The Go Eve Dev center really is cool. Wolverhampton has more cool and interesting things than an Irishman like me was expecting. But this is right up there. www.linkedin.com/posts/go-eve...

Education is fundamental to human progress. A report from Unesco says children are missing up to 1.5 yrs of education because of extreme heat. EVs are a step towards helping this problem. Let's electrify as fast as possible. www.ft.com/content/3bdb...

Why are we in business? Because there's a big problem. And because we're a part of the solution. That is why we're in business. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GMY...

Google's recent AI update does a pretty good summary of DockChain too. Have a read. g.co/gemini/share...

Customer service is indeed vital. And customer service should never feel like that scene from No Country for Old Men. Ever. Either AI art gone wrong, or an artist with no cultural awareness. I'm not sure which is worse.

Dublin Bay showing off today with great conditions for day 2 of the ILCA Under-21 World Championships. Future Olympians aplenty in the fleet. And downright astonishing levels of fitness. youtu.be/mu2Uaf1EsPo?...

Apparently it's International Dog Day. It's nearly a year since the dogs left. There are few phrases of praise more serious than "Good dog". These were good dogs. Still are, I hope, wherever they are.

So many governments doing the same thing and for the same reasons. An international scandal that is entirely domestic in every single case. And entirely immoral, and both socially and economically hugely damaging. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another good article on AI from the IEEE. One quibble....a tendency to produce "convincing sounding but factually inaccurate responses" is not unique to AIs. What the article calls "machine bullshit" has long been a staple of business and several other areas. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-misinform...

You know, when I started banging on about property in Ireland in about 2005/6, I knew that Irish governments didn't care much about the social damage of their policies. I never imagined how little they cared.

And AIs are full of what the confident stupid people said. (yeah....call me a cynic)

It's correct. It might even be better. It's just not what you're used to. How do you handle things like that? If you're used to the "normal" EV charging solutions, have a look at goeve.com/dockchain . It's better. It's not what you're used to!

Down in Kerry at the weekend. Passed by one of the old family homes, now long abandoned. You don't have to go far back along any family tree to bump in to people who lived very primitively compared to what we consider "normal" now. No cars, no planes, no radio, no antibiotics, few vaccines....

One of our investors uttered the U word. A long way yet, but I believe it's where we're going. And not because we're particularly brilliant or anything, but because we have a great product that solves a huge customer pain point. Plus, it helps save the world a little.

Already one of the more tedious side-effects of AI in the workplace. Turns out there are several recommendations. Including some that are particularly useful on LinkedIn. chatgpt.com/share/689a05...
