Hotdesking in Dingle
Chris Byrne of SpinnakerPro suggested contacting Fionnan at the Dingle Technology Park, a wonderful looking business facility that I was totally unaware of even though I’m a regular visitor to the town. Dingle is less than two hours drive for me and I love the place so I was delighted to learn about the Business Center at Milltown.
So delighted in fact that I got straight on the phone to Fionnan and had a great discussion about hotdesking, coworking and so on. Unfortunately they don’t yet provide the kind of flexibility probably needed by coworkers, requiring a minimum of one month’s lease on their hot desks, but I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to work together to get around that.
One concern is regarding security but Fionnan had a great suggestion about compiling a membership list of coworkers who register with their own local agency, enterprise board, etc. Thanks Fionnan and thanks Chris.

Someone clever want to do one of those nice pushpin maps of HotDesking/CoWorking locations?
Great idea Matt. I’m sure there are many ways of doing it but I jumped into the new Google MyMaps feature and produced this quick draft -

I thought it would be useful to use the following colour scheme for pushpins -
Red = possible (requiring a lot of negotiation)
Yellow = probable (being actively pursued)
Green = confirmed / active
Any suggestions?
I like the colour scheme though just wondering on the idea of grading the facilitiesw ith regard to some standardised criteria rather than availability:
i.e. If it’s not possible, there wouldn’t be a pin there.
I’d like to see it based on costs/facilities. I’ve just had an idea, watch this space.
Good suggestions Matt. You know what would be really cool – if someone who has the knowhow could do an EditGrid (spreadsheet) – Google Maps/Earth mashup like the one described on Ogle Earth -
