[09:23] Aloha folks [09:23] how are we all todya [09:25] hey czajkowski [09:26] tdr112: hows you? back in ireland? [09:29] yep got back late on Sunday , great time [09:34] good stuff, [09:34] does it happen once a year? [09:35] yep that was the 3rd one , there is talk of a smaller one in the uk again in june , near london i think [09:40] cool [09:40] might see if they are interested in coming along to the next oggcamp that is being planned [09:41] 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 [09:55] tdr112: open streetmap? [09:55] davem: hey hey [09:55] hows you [09:56] tired [09:57] in work etc ;) [09:57] diddums [09:57] Keith is coming over here for the weekend [09:57] rawr [09:57] :p [09:58] and sorcha [09:58] he came on the ber in Brussels also [09:58] yeah was chatting to Niall about it [09:58] great way for my bf to meet people , bring the irish piss heads [09:58] poor guy and his mates were well thrown with the accents, there were a few of us from ireland [09:58] tdr112: you /can/ export an OSM view from the webpage into an image [09:59] but that's everything [10:00] ebel: could i get just ireland ? [10:01] then you can get just the counties here http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/?zoom=7&lat=53.55822&lon=-7.84204&layers=0B00FFFFFFFTFFFF [10:01] (but dunno if you can export) [10:01] I think there are county SVG files on wikipedia or something [10:02] 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] tdr112: what are you up to [10:03] 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] But that's very hard and complex and would take me a few hours :P [10:03] 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 [10:04] ebel: na no need for that [10:06] tdr112: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Island_of_Ireland_location_map.svg ? [10:06] or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ireland_location_map.svg [10:06] tdr112: sweet [10:08] ebel: thanks they will do nicely [10:11] anyone know a good site for doing qr/2d barcodes [13:36] ebel: slashtom ye safe to travel to Oz soon with Japan being the way it is ? [13:39] aye, aparently we will be exposed to a lot of radiation as part of regular air travel [13:39] which happens for every flight everywhere [13:40] but surely more so at this time considering the current climate [13:40] why? [13:40] Japan [13:40] earthquakes have nothing to do with climate [13:40] hopefully the japanese won't plant any nuclear bombs on our plane [13:40] that would be very mean [13:41] I thought with the nuclear power plant issues [13:42] i think the plane uses jet fuel [13:42] derived from oil, iirc [13:42] fair enough [13:43] at that altitude, you would be harmed far more by the sun light [13:43] czajkowski: you get 100 uSv of radiation from a long flight like that [13:43] czajkowski: those radiation plants are putting out about 1,000 -> 100,000 uSv of radiation if you stand next to them. [13:43] however, ebel is wanting to ride through chernobyl [13:44] 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) [13:45] we'll be grand :) [13:45] grand so [13:46] 100 uSv of radiation is about as dangerous as smoking 1.4 cigarettes [13:46] eating 10 bananas gives you 1 uSv. [13:46] This is all being blown MASSIVELY out of proportion. [13:48] and remember the nuclear reactor has been shut off. [13:49] nuclear reactors turn uranium into other radioactive stuff which turns into non radioactive stuff. [13:49] the uranium part was turned off seconds after the earthquake. It's the intermediate stuff that's left [13:49] and that'll all turn into non-radioactive stuff naturally over time. [13:51] this is not another chernobyl, it's massivelly different,. [14:27] 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. [14:54] hey frank [14:56] yo yo [15:01] Hi Jeffrey, sorry, was away on another window [15:03] what sort of competition is it going to be [15:10] whoo I get to go to ireland on Monday for the day [15:11] in and out on the same day? [15:11] just dublin ? [15:16] yup [15:16] in and out for presentations and gone again [15:16] ah no tie to meet up [15:16] I dont think so [15:16] meeting finishes @ 4 and ferry at 9 [15:17] ferry! [15:17] you're taking no chances? [15:18] nope [15:18] but also easiest and fastest way for us to get there [15:18] you travelling alone? [15:18] nope myself and CEO [15:18] ferry at 9... holyhead at midnight [15:18] then a 5 hour drive [15:19] czajkowski: did you get a car over there [15:19] nope [15:19] boss lives down near Bristol [15:19] so bristol to Holyhead is not far [15:20] lol [15:20] it's a 4-5 hour drive [15:21] i took that 9pm ferry before, i got to cheltenham (an hour before bristol) at about 4am [15:21] there are no motorways through wales, you have to go toward manchester then via birmingham [15:22] 1.5hrs on the ferry [15:23] 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] but that's no accurate, it is routing you down the A5 - through snowdonia and loaded with speed cameras [15:23] not accurate* [15:24] nods [15:24] so a better route?? [15:25] i would go along the A55 and get off near crewe, head down to nantwich and join the M6 [15:25] then hope on the M5, and you're there [15:25] longer, but much faster roads [15:26] put your foot down! :-) [15:26] but i presume your guy there knows the area [15:27] aye [15:28] 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 [15:30] 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] :P [15:30] nods [15:30] enjoy [15:30] i'm surprised you're not coming here for saturday ;) [15:31] nope [15:31] have organised a massive meet up [15:39] we used to fly bristol/dublin all the time [15:39] looks like you'll be driving the length and breath of wales [15:39] in an audi I dont mind [15:42] ebel: fsck wales, it's better to head straight for england [15:42] better roads :P [15:42] there's even a Bristol/Shannon route ;) [15:44] also remember slashtom can drive relatively fast. [15:44] :P [15:46] ebel: my last car only had a top speed of 190 [15:46] i just tended to drive quickly in it [15:46] and agressively... [15:46] much like an audi driver :P [17:30] anyone run tomcat [20:40] Hi all [20:40] czajowski is currently on the live uupc show [20:40] link: [20:41] http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org:8000/uupc.mp3
