[08:43] morning airurando [08:45] hey slashtom [08:50] aloha [08:50] good morning [08:54] hey czajkowski [08:54] hows the wee kids [08:56] good. at school. [08:57] forgot to ask you... How id the new job going? [08:59] good [08:59] very busy [09:01] that's great [09:04] meetings [09:04] lots of them [09:04] into onenow [09:04] bye [09:17] Morning folks [09:28] Hi [09:29] Tribaal: Hey :) [09:36] my flatmate email wasn't very successful :) I'll try normal channels instead :) [09:37] is it uncommon / weird to share flats in Ireland? Or is it just bad luck? [09:38] common enough, http://daft.ie/ [09:41] quite common. [09:45] alright [09:45] thanks :) [10:15] my virtual terminal is behaving strangly... [10:15] it doesn't wrap the line that is longer than the width of the window [10:16] did you try to resize your terminal window? [10:16] it then displays random charactors,usually some command you type previously. any solution? [10:17] yea, after maximise the window its fine [10:17] that sounds really strange [10:17] but only within the width of the window. [10:18] i ssh onto another machine and this behaviour is gone,,so must have something to do with the terminal [10:18] it seems so. [10:19] I have also installed konsole and it's the same behaviour [10:19] although I didn't install the whole KDE [10:20] sounds weird [10:21] but i have absolutely no idea [10:22] no problem thanks all the same...:D [10:23] Slashtom Tribaal: It's easy enough *once* you find the right place with the right people :P [10:23] Short term lets are a bitch to find though :( [10:24] such a beaUtiFull day!! ^_____^ [10:24] indian summer? [10:24] also in germany a nice and sunny day [10:24] :D [10:25] dstaar1: you are in germany? [10:25] Shame I'm stuck in an office, but at least there's a huge window beside me [10:25] yep i'm in germany [10:26] i'll live in dublin for half a year from 2012 to 2013 that's why i am here [10:27] dstaar1: nice! [10:27] dstaar1: erasmus year or something like that? [10:28] that was my plan but my university has no exchange contract with dublin [10:29] Ah, that sucks. :( [10:29] So what are you doing instead? [10:29] yeah a lot. my plan now is to work in dublin [10:29] oh cool. Found a job yet ? [10:30] actually, may be a bit early :P [10:30] no it's too early. [10:30] Yeah, so what is it that you do? [10:30] i wanna start my search in fall next year [10:31] right now i study computer science in a master program [10:32] * 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] there is technically a roof but it's locked [10:33] well, it's a large 4th floor balcony pointing out towards the equater [10:33] BenChapman maybe you know some good addresses for getting a job. [10:34] 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] Or just anything you can get? [10:34] dstaar1: try monster.ie [10:34] slashtom: you mean facing south? [10:34] dstaar1: http://technicaljobs.ie/ might be a good place to start also [10:35] i prefer software based, preferable as programmer [10:35] yes, that's the direction of the eqautor [10:35] dstaar1: and what languages do you use? [10:35] our roof is full of solar panels and research equips [10:36] the satellite is above the indian ocean, and i need to test today :P [10:36] slashtom: sounds aweosme :P [10:37] $5/MB though [10:37] that's how much you get charged? [10:37] aye [10:37] that's not much more than mobile internet cost in Ireland a few years ago :P [10:38] yes, and call rates of around $1/min [10:38] although if you want 256Kb of guarenteed bandwidth that will cost you about $30/min [10:40] it's like a talk from 1992 [10:40] lol [10:40] I wasn't even born then [10:41] oh, dear my young fellow :D [10:42] ;) 1993... a year later, 24 days before a japanese man started work on Ruby [10:42] slashtom: what satellite? commercial or research one? [10:42] god bless Matz :D [10:42] slashtom: i see [10:42] commercial, inmarsat [10:43] dstaar1: try mailing lists & look at the archives. e.g. ILUG, python ireland, ruby ireland, etc. [10:43] BenChapman: You are a ruby lover? [10:43] Gosh no, not at all. I'm a PHP dev [10:43] (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] hi ebel. [10:43] i already subscribed at the ILUG mailing list [10:44] Speaking of which. this OpenERP thread has been going for ages [10:45] dstaar1: which part of germany are you from?I've been to the baden wurttemberg state last summer [10:45] i live in the suburban area of berlin [10:45] dstaar1: black forest,,,nice place [10:45] in the south east [10:45] oh cool [10:46] it is a nice region. [10:46] aloha [10:46] but far away from baden würtemberg :D [10:46] hey czajkowski [10:46] BenChapman: howdy [10:46] hows things [10:46] yea...technically I went to freiburg,,,in the black forest area [10:47] ebel: You mean it's a good strategy to apply for old job offerings? [10:47] it's nice for vacation but i don't wanna work there ^^ [10:47] 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. [10:48] 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] nice, thank you. That's smart. [10:49] BenChapman: that works too. :) [10:49] is there something like an overview for startups in dublin? [10:49] dstaar1: as in like a list of startups? [10:50] something like that, yes. [10:50] i'm just collecting strategies et cetera. [10:50] like i said, i'll start applying in february, march. [10:51] you mean like Twitter? ;) [10:51] twitter search for jobs in dublin is really great [10:51] dstaar1: Oh yeah, the irish twitter community is pretty close knit :) It's easy enough to find people and network! [10:52] other places to look would be http://www.thedigitalhub.com/ , http://www.gec.ie/ [10:52] companies in there [10:52] Dogpatch Labs (a startup incubator) launches on Thursday, would be worth a look :) [10:52] 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] i meant, that twitter is one of the latest dublin startups ;) [10:53] slashtom: not really a startup is it? [10:53] :/ [10:53] slashtom: sorry didn't understand that :D [10:54] right, i need to head outside to look for the satellite, bbl [10:55] I'm a bit confused...search for companies on twitter or jobs on twitter? [10:55] actually jobs, a search like: "jobs, dublin" [10:56] 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] wow...and what tools you use to search tweets?some specialised webapp I suppose? [10:56] dstaar1: Not into web development at all are you? :p [10:56] yes, find companies on twitter and ask the, [10:56] Have a look at conferences in ireland, and look at the name of companies speaking/sponsoring them [10:56] That's how I got my first contract work:) [10:57] sometimes i do web development with rails or java ;) [10:57] dumb: i just use the web search or the twitter client in my phone [10:57] thanks for the tips [10:58] your welcome [11:00] my hope at all is to get in contact with people who hire, or getting hints for nice companies. [11:00] dstaar1: well, my company is pretty nice ;) [11:01] i mean in berlin it won't be a problem for me cause i know the community there ;) [11:01] benchapman: what's the name for your company? [11:01] http://disruptivedev.com/ [11:01] but we primarily do php/mysql [11:01] that said, we're using java a lot lately [11:02] i'm flexible ;) [11:02] and looking to expand rapidly in the next year, so I'll keep you informed and in mind :) [11:02] sounds great :) [11:02] i'm the man you're looking for :D [11:03] i'm going to take my launch [11:03] see you later [13:53] hi,if I run ubuntu hardy, 8.04 pretty old release, [13:53] I find that packages available in 10.04 are not in the 8.04 repository [13:54] my source repository is the irish one, is that normal? [13:54] sometimes new packages are added [13:55] also old releases don't have the package repository anymore [13:55] ebel: is it possible to add the new repos to the old, or do you essentially end up dist-upgrading [13:55] ? [13:55] you'd have to upgrade [13:56] the old repos are still available at old-releases.ubuntu.com or something similar. [13:56] so the old release repository is not getting new packages? [13:57] you can't really add 10.04 repos to 8.04 OS. it just wouldn't pull packages from them [13:57] dumb1224: it won't get any updates or changes, not even security fixes. [13:57] There are very few good reasons *not* to upgrade. [13:58] ebel: hmmm.....it supposes to be a long term support release right? [13:58] long term support being 3 years on desktop, yes [13:59] right. I see what you mean. better keep up to date then [15:50] "cztab playing with ubuntu for windows"??? - from the twitterweb [15:56] yes [15:56] * slashtom is confused [15:57] work [15:58] I use a windows desktop [15:58] but I still use U1 [15:58] I saw you can stream music with U1. Do you use that? [15:58] i thought you were an open source evangelist? [15:59] isn't ubuntuone the music thing that doesn't work here? [15:59] partially works here. [16:00] But I'm unsure if streaming is different, since there are different licenceing models. [16:00] this is why i like jamendo.com - it's the same everywhere, non-discriminatory [16:00] But I can't find out. [16:00] (well I haven't looked too hard yet, more curious about personal recommendations ATM) [16:03] deadly, my super-TV-b-gone has shipped [16:03] now i can end this torment of sports being shown in bars :P [16:05] ebel: did you apply for the Ubuntu offical book [16:05] czajkowski: ages ago [16:06] Is there a new one? [16:06] yeah [16:06] like people had to order a few months ago [16:06] if you didnt get it [16:06] you need to drop me a line with your details and I'll follow up on it [20:43] evening
