| BenChapman | Morning folks | 09:17 |
| Tribaal | Hi | 09:28 |
| BenChapman | Tribaal: Hey :) | 09:29 |
| Tribaal | my flatmate email wasn't very successful :) I'll try normal channels instead :) | 09:36 |
| Tribaal | is it uncommon / weird to share flats in Ireland? Or is it just bad luck? | 09:37 |
| slashtom | common enough, http://daft.ie/ | 09:38 |
| ebel | quite common. | 09:41 |
| Tribaal | alright | 09:45 |
| Tribaal | thanks :) | 09:45 |
| dumb1224 | my virtual terminal is behaving strangly... | 10:15 |
| dumb1224 | it doesn't wrap the line that is longer than the width of the window | 10:15 |
| dstaar1 | did you try to resize your terminal window? | 10:16 |
| dumb1224 | it then displays random charactors,usually some command you type previously. any solution? | 10:16 |
| dumb1224 | yea, after maximise the window its fine | 10:17 |
| dstaar1 | that sounds really strange | 10:17 |
| dumb1224 | but only within the width of the window. | 10:17 |
| dumb1224 | i ssh onto another machine and this behaviour is gone,,so must have something to do with the terminal | 10:18 |
| dstaar1 | it seems so. | 10:18 |
| dumb1224 | I have also installed konsole and it's the same behaviour | 10:19 |
| dumb1224 | although I didn't install the whole KDE | 10:19 |
| dstaar1 | sounds weird | 10:20 |
| dstaar1 | but i have absolutely no idea | 10:21 |
| dumb1224 | no problem thanks all the same...:D | 10:22 |
| BenChapman | Slashtom Tribaal: It's easy enough *once* you find the right place with the right people :P | 10:23 |
| BenChapman | Short term lets are a bitch to find though :( | 10:23 |
| dumb1224 | such a beaUtiFull day!! ^_____^ | 10:24 |
| dumb1224 | indian summer? | 10:24 |
| dstaar1 | also in germany a nice and sunny day | 10:24 |
| BenChapman | :D | 10:24 |
| dumb1224 | dstaar1: you are in germany? | 10:25 |
| BenChapman | Shame I'm stuck in an office, but at least there's a huge window beside me | 10:25 |
| dstaar1 | yep i'm in germany | 10:25 |
| dstaar1 | i'll live in dublin for half a year from 2012 to 2013 that's why i am here | 10:26 |
| dumb1224 | dstaar1: nice! | 10:27 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: erasmus year or something like that? | 10:27 |
| dstaar1 | that was my plan but my university has no exchange contract with dublin | 10:28 |
| BenChapman | Ah, that sucks. :( | 10:29 |
| BenChapman | So what are you doing instead? | 10:29 |
| dstaar1 | yeah a lot. my plan now is to work in dublin | 10:29 |
| BenChapman | oh cool. Found a job yet ? | 10:29 |
| BenChapman | actually, may be a bit early :P | 10:30 |
| dstaar1 | no it's too early. | 10:30 |
| BenChapman | Yeah, so what is it that you do? | 10:30 |
| dstaar1 | i wanna start my search in fall next year | 10:30 |
| dstaar1 | right now i study computer science in a master program | 10:31 |
| * slashtom gets told to go out on the roof and use up megabytes... lovely day for it :P | 10:32 | |
| * BenChapman wishes there was a roof... | 10:32 | |
| BenChapman | there is technically a roof but it's locked | 10:32 |
| slashtom | well, it's a large 4th floor balcony pointing out towards the equater | 10:33 |
| dstaar1 | BenChapman maybe you know some good addresses for getting a job. | 10:33 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: I'm afraid I'm not sure what specifically you're looking for, is it engineering type jobs or more software based? | 10:34 |
| BenChapman | Or just anything you can get? | 10:34 |
| slashtom | dstaar1: try monster.ie | 10:34 |
| dumb1224 | slashtom: you mean facing south? | 10:34 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: http://technicaljobs.ie/ might be a good place to start also | 10:34 |
| dstaar1 | i prefer software based, preferable as programmer | 10:35 |
| slashtom | yes, that's the direction of the eqautor | 10:35 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: and what languages do you use? | 10:35 |
| dumb1224 | our roof is full of solar panels and research equips | 10:35 |
| slashtom | the satellite is above the indian ocean, and i need to test today :P | 10:36 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: sounds aweosme :P | 10:36 |
| slashtom | $5/MB though | 10:37 |
| BenChapman | that's how much you get charged? | 10:37 |
| slashtom | aye | 10:37 |
| BenChapman | that's not much more than mobile internet cost in Ireland a few years ago :P | 10:37 |
| slashtom | yes, and call rates of around $1/min | 10:38 |
| slashtom | although if you want 256Kb of guarenteed bandwidth that will cost you about $30/min | 10:38 |
| dstaar1 | it's like a talk from 1992 | 10:40 |
| BenChapman | lol | 10:40 |
| BenChapman | I wasn't even born then | 10:40 |
| dstaar1 | oh, dear my young fellow :D | 10:41 |
| BenChapman | ;) 1993... a year later, 24 days before a japanese man started work on Ruby | 10:42 |
| dumb1224 | slashtom: what satellite? commercial or research one? | 10:42 |
| dstaar1 | god bless Matz :D | 10:42 |
| dumb1224 | slashtom: i see | 10:42 |
| slashtom | commercial, inmarsat | 10:42 |
| ebel | dstaar1: try mailing lists & look at the archives. e.g. ILUG, python ireland, ruby ireland, etc. | 10:43 |
| dstaar1 | BenChapman: You are a ruby lover? | 10:43 |
| BenChapman | Gosh no, not at all. I'm a PHP dev | 10:43 |
| ebel | (for jobs that is. and apply for jobs from a long time ago, I've replied to job adverts that were 12 months old, etc.) | 10:43 |
| dstaar1 | hi ebel. | 10:43 |
| dstaar1 | i already subscribed at the ILUG mailing list | 10:43 |
| BenChapman | Speaking of which. this OpenERP thread has been going for ages | 10:44 |
| dumb1224 | dstaar1: which part of germany are you from?I've been to the baden wurttemberg state last summer | 10:45 |
| dstaar1 | i live in the suburban area of berlin | 10:45 |
| dumb1224 | dstaar1: black forest,,,nice place | 10:45 |
| dstaar1 | in the south east | 10:45 |
| dumb1224 | oh cool | 10:45 |
| dstaar1 | it is a nice region. | 10:46 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 10:46 |
| dstaar1 | but far away from baden würtemberg :D | 10:46 |
| BenChapman | hey czajkowski | 10:46 |
| czajkowski | BenChapman: howdy | 10:46 |
| czajkowski | hows things | 10:46 |
| dumb1224 | yea...technically I went to freiburg,,,in the black forest area | 10:46 |
| dstaar1 | ebel: You mean it's a good strategy to apply for old job offerings? | 10:47 |
| dstaar1 | it's nice for vacation but i don't wanna work there ^^ | 10:47 |
| ebel | dstaar1: yes, apply for old job offerings. A lot of the time the company might not have found a person, or they might be still hiring. | 10:47 |
| BenChapman | I've never actually applied for a job through an advert... I've always gone to companies I wanted to work for (not that I have much experience of it) | 10:48 |
| dstaar1 | nice, thank you. That's smart. | 10:48 |
| ebel | BenChapman: that works too. :) | 10:49 |
| dstaar1 | is there something like an overview for startups in dublin? | 10:49 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: as in like a list of startups? | 10:49 |
| dstaar1 | something like that, yes. | 10:50 |
| dstaar1 | i'm just collecting strategies et cetera. | 10:50 |
| dstaar1 | like i said, i'll start applying in february, march. | 10:50 |
| slashtom | you mean like Twitter? ;) | 10:51 |
| dstaar1 | twitter search for jobs in dublin is really great | 10:51 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: Oh yeah, the irish twitter community is pretty close knit :) It's easy enough to find people and network! | 10:51 |
| BenChapman | other places to look would be http://www.thedigitalhub.com/ , http://www.gec.ie/ | 10:52 |
| BenChapman | companies in there | 10:52 |
| BenChapman | Dogpatch Labs (a startup incubator) launches on Thursday, would be worth a look :) | 10:52 |
| dstaar1 | i mean #ubuntu-ie is the best example, i appreciate your help and until now it seems pretty easy to get in contact with people | 10:52 |
| slashtom | i meant, that twitter is one of the latest dublin startups ;) | 10:52 |
| BenChapman | slashtom: not really a startup is it? | 10:53 |
| BenChapman | :/ | 10:53 |
| dstaar1 | slashtom: sorry didn't understand that :D | 10:53 |
| slashtom | right, i need to head outside to look for the satellite, bbl | 10:54 |
| dumb1224 | I'm a bit confused...search for companies on twitter or jobs on twitter? | 10:55 |
| dstaar1 | actually jobs, a search like: "jobs, dublin" | 10:55 |
| BenChapman | dumb1224: well if you network with irish people on twitter, particularly dev community then you'll likely find people who will gladly give your CV a bit of time | 10:56 |
| dumb1224 | wow...and what tools you use to search tweets?some specialised webapp I suppose? | 10:56 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: Not into web development at all are you? :p | 10:56 |
| ebel | yes, find companies on twitter and ask the, | 10:56 |
| ebel | Have a look at conferences in ireland, and look at the name of companies speaking/sponsoring them | 10:56 |
| BenChapman | That's how I got my first contract work:) | 10:56 |
| dstaar1 | sometimes i do web development with rails or java ;) | 10:57 |
| dstaar1 | dumb: i just use the web search or the twitter client in my phone | 10:57 |
| dumb1224 | thanks for the tips | 10:57 |
| dstaar1 | your welcome | 10:58 |
| dstaar1 | my hope at all is to get in contact with people who hire, or getting hints for nice companies. | 11:00 |
| BenChapman | dstaar1: well, my company is pretty nice ;) | 11:00 |
| dstaar1 | i mean in berlin it won't be a problem for me cause i know the community there ;) | 11:01 |
| dstaar1 | benchapman: what's the name for your company? | 11:01 |
| BenChapman | http://disruptivedev.com/ | 11:01 |
| BenChapman | but we primarily do php/mysql | 11:01 |
| BenChapman | that said, we're using java a lot lately | 11:01 |
| dstaar1 | i'm flexible ;) | 11:02 |
| BenChapman | and looking to expand rapidly in the next year, so I'll keep you informed and in mind :) | 11:02 |
| dstaar1 | sounds great :) | 11:02 |
| dstaar1 | i'm the man you're looking for :D | 11:02 |
| dstaar1 | i'm going to take my launch | 11:03 |
| dstaar1 | see you later | 11:03 |
| dumb1224 | hi,if I run ubuntu hardy, 8.04 pretty old release, | 13:53 |
| dumb1224 | I find that packages available in 10.04 are not in the 8.04 repository | 13:53 |
| dumb1224 | my source repository is the irish one, is that normal? | 13:54 |
| ebel | sometimes new packages are added | 13:54 |
| ebel | also old releases don't have the package repository anymore | 13:55 |
| BenChapman | ebel: is it possible to add the new repos to the old, or do you essentially end up dist-upgrading | 13:55 |
| BenChapman | ? | 13:55 |
| ebel | you'd have to upgrade | 13:55 |
| ebel | the old repos are still available at old-releases.ubuntu.com or something similar. | 13:56 |
| dumb1224 | so the old release repository is not getting new packages? | 13:56 |
| ebel | you can't really add 10.04 repos to 8.04 OS. it just wouldn't pull packages from them | 13:57 |
| ebel | dumb1224: it won't get any updates or changes, not even security fixes. | 13:57 |
| ebel | There are very few good reasons *not* to upgrade. | 13:57 |
| dumb1224 | ebel: hmmm.....it supposes to be a long term support release right? | 13:58 |
| ebel | long term support being 3 years on desktop, yes | 13:58 |
| dumb1224 | right. I see what you mean. better keep up to date then | 13:59 |
| slashtom | "cztab playing with ubuntu for windows"??? - from the twitterweb | 15:50 |
| czajkowski | yes | 15:56 |
| * slashtom is confused | 15:56 | |
| czajkowski | work | 15:57 |
| czajkowski | I use a windows desktop | 15:58 |
| czajkowski | but I still use U1 | 15:58 |
| ebel | I saw you can stream music with U1. Do you use that? | 15:58 |
| slashtom | i thought you were an open source evangelist? | 15:58 |
| slashtom | isn't ubuntuone the music thing that doesn't work here? | 15:59 |
| ebel | partially works here. | 15:59 |
| ebel | But I'm unsure if streaming is different, since there are different licenceing models. | 16:00 |
| slashtom | this is why i like jamendo.com - it's the same everywhere, non-discriminatory | 16:00 |
| ebel | But I can't find out. | 16:00 |
| ebel | (well I haven't looked too hard yet, more curious about personal recommendations ATM) | 16:00 |
| slashtom | deadly, my super-TV-b-gone has shipped | 16:03 |
| slashtom | now i can end this torment of sports being shown in bars :P | 16:03 |
| czajkowski | ebel: did you apply for the Ubuntu offical book | 16:05 |
| ebel | czajkowski: ages ago | 16:05 |
| ebel | Is there a new one? | 16:06 |
| czajkowski | yeah | 16:06 |
| czajkowski | like people had to order a few months ago | 16:06 |
| czajkowski | if you didnt get it | 16:06 |
| czajkowski | you need to drop me a line with your details and I'll follow up on it | 16:06 |
| tdr112 | evening | 20:43 |
