| czajkowski | Aloha folks | 09:23 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | how are we all todya | 09:23 |
| tdr112 | hey czajkowski | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | tdr112: hows you? back in ireland? | 09:26 |
| tdr112 | yep got back late on Sunday , great time | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | good stuff, | 09:34 |
| czajkowski | does it happen once a year? | 09:34 |
| tdr112 | yep that was the 3rd one , there is talk of a smaller one in the uk again in june , near london i think | 09:35 |
| czajkowski | cool | 09:40 |
| czajkowski | might see if they are interested in coming along to the next oggcamp that is being planned | 09:40 |
| tdr112 | ebel: would you know how to get a big map of ireland like an svg or some thing a0 size with just the county lines | 09:41 |
| davem | tdr112: open streetmap? | 09:55 |
| czajkowski | davem: hey hey | 09:55 |
| czajkowski | hows you | 09:55 |
| davem | tired | 09:56 |
| davem | in work etc ;) | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | diddums | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | Keith is coming over here for the weekend | 09:57 |
| davem | rawr | 09:57 |
| davem | :p | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | and sorcha | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | he came on the ber in Brussels also | 09:58 |
| davem | yeah was chatting to Niall about it | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | great way for my bf to meet people , bring the irish piss heads | 09:58 |
| czajkowski | poor guy and his mates were well thrown with the accents, there were a few of us from ireland | 09:58 |
| ebel | tdr112: you /can/ export an OSM view from the webpage into an image | 09:58 |
| ebel | but that's everything | 09:59 |
| tdr112 | ebel: could i get just ireland ? | 10:00 |
| ebel | then you can get just the counties here http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/?zoom=7&lat=53.55822&lon=-7.84204&layers=0B00FFFFFFFTFFFF | 10:01 |
| ebel | (but dunno if you can export) | 10:01 |
| ebel | I think there are county SVG files on wikipedia or something | 10:01 |
| ebel | The OSM export includes all features incl roads, and works on a box, so you'll probably get a bit of scotland in order to get all of donegal & down in | 10:02 |
| czajkowski | tdr112: what are you up to | 10:02 |
| ebel | Of course it is possible to export the data from OSM (using XAPI) then import it into a desktop GIS (geographical information system) application like QGIS and then you can control exactly what to do | 10:03 |
| ebel | But that's very hard and complex and would take me a few hours :P | 10:03 |
| tdr112 | thinking of making a poster/sign of all the hackerspaces in Ireland printing it to A1 puting an led where each one is and 2d bar codes with links to their web sites , its for an event coming up in a few weeks | 10:03 |
| tdr112 | ebel: na no need for that | 10:04 |
| ebel | tdr112: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Island_of_Ireland_location_map.svg ? | 10:06 |
| ebel | or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ireland_location_map.svg | 10:06 |
| czajkowski | tdr112: sweet | 10:06 |
| tdr112 | ebel: thanks they will do nicely | 10:08 |
| tdr112 | anyone know a good site for doing qr/2d barcodes | 10:11 |
| czajkowski | ebel: slashtom ye safe to travel to Oz soon with Japan being the way it is ? | 13:36 |
| slashtom | aye, aparently we will be exposed to a lot of radiation as part of regular air travel | 13:39 |
| slashtom | which happens for every flight everywhere | 13:39 |
| czajkowski | but surely more so at this time considering the current climate | 13:40 |
| slashtom | why? | 13:40 |
| czajkowski | Japan | 13:40 |
| ebel | earthquakes have nothing to do with climate | 13:40 |
| slashtom | hopefully the japanese won't plant any nuclear bombs on our plane | 13:40 |
| slashtom | that would be very mean | 13:40 |
| czajkowski | I thought with the nuclear power plant issues | 13:41 |
| slashtom | i think the plane uses jet fuel | 13:42 |
| slashtom | derived from oil, iirc | 13:42 |
| czajkowski | fair enough | 13:42 |
| slashtom | at that altitude, you would be harmed far more by the sun light | 13:43 |
| ebel | czajkowski: you get 100 uSv of radiation from a long flight like that | 13:43 |
| ebel | czajkowski: those radiation plants are putting out about 1,000 -> 100,000 uSv of radiation if you stand next to them. | 13:43 |
| slashtom | however, ebel is wanting to ride through chernobyl | 13:43 |
| ebel | and remember radiation disperses with distance. so you double the distance between you and the thing, and you get 4 times less radiation (inverse square law) | 13:44 |
| slashtom | we'll be grand :) | 13:45 |
| czajkowski | grand so | 13:45 |
| ebel | 100 uSv of radiation is about as dangerous as smoking 1.4 cigarettes | 13:46 |
| ebel | eating 10 bananas gives you 1 uSv. | 13:46 |
| ebel | This is all being blown MASSIVELY out of proportion. | 13:46 |
| ebel | and remember the nuclear reactor has been shut off. | 13:48 |
| ebel | nuclear reactors turn uranium into other radioactive stuff which turns into non radioactive stuff. | 13:49 |
| ebel | the uranium part was turned off seconds after the earthquake. It's the intermediate stuff that's left | 13:49 |
| ebel | and that'll all turn into non-radioactive stuff naturally over time. | 13:49 |
| ebel | this is not another chernobyl, it's massivelly different,. | 13:51 |
| f3d | Event coming up on April 16 that should be of interestEvent coming up on April 16 that should be of interest. http://www.engineersireland.ie/cpd/cpd-training/courses/it-crowd-seminar/ Trying to organise a good prize for a competition on the day.. http://www.engineersireland.ie/cpd/cpd-training/courses/it-crowd-seminar/ Trying to organise a good prize for a competition on the day. | 14:27 |
| tdr112 | hey frank | 14:54 |
| ebel | yo yo | 14:56 |
| f3d | Hi Jeffrey, sorry, was away on another window | 15:01 |
| tdr112 | what sort of competition is it going to be | 15:03 |
| czajkowski | whoo I get to go to ireland on Monday for the day | 15:10 |
| slashtom | in and out on the same day? | 15:11 |
| tdr112 | just dublin ? | 15:11 |
| czajkowski | yup | 15:16 |
| czajkowski | in and out for presentations and gone again | 15:16 |
| tdr112 | ah no tie to meet up | 15:16 |
| czajkowski | I dont think so | 15:16 |
| czajkowski | meeting finishes @ 4 and ferry at 9 | 15:16 |
| slashtom | ferry! | 15:17 |
| slashtom | you're taking no chances? | 15:17 |
| czajkowski | nope | 15:18 |
| czajkowski | but also easiest and fastest way for us to get there | 15:18 |
| slashtom | you travelling alone? | 15:18 |
| czajkowski | nope myself and CEO | 15:18 |
| slashtom | ferry at 9... holyhead at midnight | 15:18 |
| slashtom | then a 5 hour drive | 15:18 |
| tdr112 | czajkowski: did you get a car over there | 15:19 |
| czajkowski | nope | 15:19 |
| czajkowski | boss lives down near Bristol | 15:19 |
| czajkowski | so bristol to Holyhead is not far | 15:19 |
| slashtom | lol | 15:20 |
| slashtom | it's a 4-5 hour drive | 15:20 |
| slashtom | i took that 9pm ferry before, i got to cheltenham (an hour before bristol) at about 4am | 15:21 |
| slashtom | there are no motorways through wales, you have to go toward manchester then via birmingham | 15:21 |
| czajkowski | 1.5hrs on the ferry | 15:22 |
| slashtom | http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=51.727028&lng=-3.054199&zoom=7&directions=53.30903170363969,-4.628591537475586,51.45732284495817,-2.5932884216308594&travel=car&styleId=1&opened_tab=1 | 15:23 |
| slashtom | but that's no accurate, it is routing you down the A5 - through snowdonia and loaded with speed cameras | 15:23 |
| slashtom | not accurate* | 15:23 |
| czajkowski | nods | 15:24 |
| czajkowski | so a better route?? | 15:24 |
| slashtom | i would go along the A55 and get off near crewe, head down to nantwich and join the M6 | 15:25 |
| slashtom | then hope on the M5, and you're there | 15:25 |
| slashtom | longer, but much faster roads | 15:25 |
| delcoyote | put your foot down! :-) | 15:26 |
| slashtom | but i presume your guy there knows the area | 15:26 |
| czajkowski | aye | 15:27 |
| slashtom | http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=52.492815&lng=-2.861938&zoom=9&directions=53.293130787340516,-4.61151123046875,53.156858919018774,-2.8973007202148438,53.064944749645356,-2.3315048217773438,52.53371480958668,-1.9702434539794922,51.44373668041616,-2.57904052734375&travel=car&styleId=1&opened_tab=1 - that's more like it, much faster | 15:28 |
| slashtom | at that time of night, you can comfortably cruise along the M6 and M5 at 150 (or at least that's what i would do) | 15:30 |
| slashtom | :P | 15:30 |
| czajkowski | nods | 15:30 |
| slashtom | enjoy | 15:30 |
| slashtom | i'm surprised you're not coming here for saturday ;) | 15:30 |
| czajkowski | nope | 15:31 |
| czajkowski | have organised a massive meet up | 15:31 |
| ebel | we used to fly bristol/dublin all the time | 15:39 |
| ebel | looks like you'll be driving the length and breath of wales | 15:39 |
| czajkowski | in an audi I dont mind | 15:39 |
| slashtom | ebel: fsck wales, it's better to head straight for england | 15:42 |
| slashtom | better roads :P | 15:42 |
| slashtom | there's even a Bristol/Shannon route ;) | 15:42 |
| ebel | also remember slashtom can drive relatively fast. | 15:44 |
| ebel | :P | 15:44 |
| slashtom | ebel: my last car only had a top speed of 190 | 15:46 |
| slashtom | i just tended to drive quickly in it | 15:46 |
| slashtom | and agressively... | 15:46 |
| slashtom | much like an audi driver :P | 15:46 |
| tdr112 | anyone run tomcat | 17:30 |
