[09:17] <ebel> morning
[09:18] <Tribaal> hi there
[09:27] <tdr112> morning all
[09:28] <dstaar> morning
[09:43] <ebel> fyi if ye are moving to dublin, there's a hackerspace, TOG, that has an irc channel. #tog.
[09:43] <ebel> http://www.tog.ie, etc.
[09:44] <dstaar> <
[09:44] <dstaar> 3
[09:44] <dstaar> great. what else do i need internet, a community and a hackerspace.
[09:48] <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
[09:49] <dstaar> What about Guinness?
[09:50] <ebel> everywhere serves guiness. that is a list of pubs that serve good beer
[09:56] <dstaar> what's your favorite beer?
[11:29] <slashtom> dstaar: ireland doesn't really have a beer culture
[11:30] <Tribaal> ohhhh a hackerspace! Shiny :)
[11:30] <Tribaal> looking forward!
[11:31] <slashtom> who will you be working for?
[14:15] <slashtom> thejetset, i was thinking about the ubuntu hours and if there was any overlap with what you're doing with the coder dojo
[14:19] <BenChapman> slashtom: ubuntu hours?
[14:20] <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 :)
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <ebel> edited
[14:22] <BenChapman> Ah hmmm
[14:22] <BenChapman> ok
[14:22] <BenChapman> When you say overlap with CoderDojo?
[14:23] <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
[14:25] <BenChapman> ah definitely!
[14:25] <BenChapman> Wow... I only noticed this now: http://www.technomancy.org/hackerspace-wikipedia-delete/
[14:26] <ebel> indeedy. that's my site btw
[14:26] <BenChapman> I know :) It was on your business card :P
[14:27] <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"
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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.
[14:30] <BenChapman> Well good work for doing so! I probably wouldn't have botehred
[14:32]  * ebel likes TOG
[14:33] <slashtom> ebel is very good at harrasing people for spreading misinformation, especially journalists
[14:34] <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.
[14:36] <BenChapman> Heh
[14:36] <BenChapman> I'm currently sitting in storyful's offices as it happens
[14:36] <BenChapman> amongst many journalists
[14:37] <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 )
[14:50] <BenChapman> They're content curation
[14:50] <BenChapman> slightly different
[14:50] <BenChapman> :P
