| dstaar | < | 09:44 |
| dstaar | 3 | 09:44 |
| dstaar | great. what else do i need internet, a community and a hackerspace. | 09:44 |
| ebel | good beer. | 09:48 |
| ebel | bull & castle, porterhouse, l. mulligan grocer. ☺ | 09:48 |
| dstaar | I know that germans love beer but i don't. :D | 09:48 |
| dstaar | What about Guinness? | 09:49 |
| ebel | everywhere serves guiness. that is a list of pubs that serve good beer | 09:50 |
| dstaar | what's your favorite beer? | 09:56 |
| slashtom | dstaar: ireland doesn't really have a beer culture | 11:29 |
| Tribaal | ohhhh a hackerspace! Shiny :) | 11:30 |
| Tribaal | looking forward! | 11:30 |
| slashtom | who will you be working for? | 11:31 |
| === thejetset is now known as BenChapman | ||
| slashtom | thejetset, i was thinking about the ubuntu hours and if there was any overlap with what you're doing with the coder dojo | 14:15 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: ubuntu hours? | 14:19 |
| slashtom | the ubuntu hour! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 14:20 |
| slashtom | oh dear, ebel or someone - can you correct that | 14:20 |
| BenChapman | Oh very nice | 14:20 |
| BenChapman | definitely :) | 14:20 |
| slashtom | The Trinity Capital Hotel/d | 14:21 |
| slashtom | we're changing it, and moving away from the pub | 14:21 |
| slashtom | i have proposed holding it in a café/coffee shop | 14:21 |
| slashtom | on a weekend | 14:21 |
| ebel | edited | 14:22 |
| BenChapman | Ah hmmm | 14:22 |
| BenChapman | ok | 14:22 |
| BenChapman | When you say overlap with CoderDojo? | 14:22 |
| ebel | work together? | 14:23 |
| slashtom | possibly an opportunity to steer anyone in this direction who may be interested in ubuntu | 14:23 |
| slashtom | thanks ebel | 14:23 |
| BenChapman | ah definitely! | 14:25 |
| BenChapman | Wow... I only noticed this now: http://www.technomancy.org/hackerspace-wikipedia-delete/ | 14:25 |
| ebel | indeedy. that's my site btw | 14:26 |
| BenChapman | I know :) It was on your business card :P | 14:26 |
| ebel | that wikipedia saga put me off wikipedia | 14:27 |
| BenChapman | But what's worse is the article about it on Wikipedia itself states: "It employs 420 people ... According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, it had a daily circulation of 100,951 during the first six months of 2011" | 14:27 |
| ebel | it's too hard to fight the deletionists... | 14:27 |
| BenChapman | I mean... seriously... how is that a "Not sure" | 14:27 |
| BenChapman | Bill Clinton has written op-eds for it | 14:28 |
| BenChapman | One of the few bad things about community based stuff | 14:28 |
| ebel | what annoyed me was how the guy stated something, and claimed to have done research. But 5 minutes of reseach would show he hadn't done any research. | 14:28 |
| BenChapman | Give a nut too much power and they'll go wild | 14:28 |
| ebel | An uninformed bystander might think the guy had done the research, and that he was telling the truth, | 14:29 |
| ebel | I had to harass and refute what he saying. | 14:29 |
| BenChapman | Well good work for doing so! I probably wouldn't have botehred | 14:30 |
| * ebel likes TOG | 14:32 | |
| slashtom | ebel is very good at harrasing people for spreading misinformation, especially journalists | 14:33 |
| ebel | slashtom: emailing a journalist or pressure group asking for a source doesn't count as 'harassing'. | 14:34 |
| ebel | most journalists/newspapers just print anything without fact checking. | 14:34 |
| BenChapman | Heh | 14:36 |
| BenChapman | I'm currently sitting in storyful's offices as it happens | 14:36 |
| BenChapman | amongst many journalists | 14:36 |
| ebel | tell em to link to primary sources. And not to just print press releases. | 14:37 |
| ebel | (which means a ten fold increase in work and a ten fold decrease in content :P ) | 14:37 |
| BenChapman | They're content curation | 14:50 |
| BenChapman | slightly different | 14:50 |
| BenChapman | :P | 14:50 |
