[18:43] <tdr112> its turning into a tax state
[18:43] <czajkowski> nods
[18:43] <czajkowski> still over here we pay water charges and council charges
[18:44] <czajkowski> if we lived 500 meters across the bridge our council tax would be crazy
[18:44] <czajkowski> but equally bins get collected our roads are good and my gp service and hospital is top notch
[20:51] <ebel> hello
[20:53] <tdr112> yo
[20:53] <tdr112> forgot that
[20:58] <ebel> IRC meeting shortly
[20:58] <tdr112> was it not 8pm
[20:58] <ebel> er... was it not 9pm?!
[20:58] <ebel> has the meeting happened?
[20:59] <moylan> hasn't happened yet

[21:04] <moylan> wondering if the old dublin bbses are online while the web is shutdown.  come back toppsi! :-)

[21:08] <ebel> Welcome to the January IRC Meeting for Ubuntu IE
[21:08] <ebel> please say PRESENT if you're here and paying attention.
[21:08] <ebel> PRESENT
[21:08] <moylan> PRESENT
[21:08] <Victor9098> PRESENT
[21:09] <tdr112> here
[21:09] <ebel> the agenda for this meeting is here http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-ie/308/detail/
[21:09] <ebel> #link http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-ie/308/detail/
[21:09] <tdr112> PRESENT
[21:10] <ebel> #topic review
[21:10] <ebel> #subtopic DNS
[21:10] <ebel> (Changing ubuntu-ie.org DNS to point to blacknight)
[21:10] <ebel> I haven't looked into this yet, sorry.
[21:10] <moylan> christmas happened. :-)
[21:10] <ebel> Canonical have some fancy commands you can do to change DNS parameters w/ permissions etc.
[21:11] <ebel> but haven't looked into it yet.
[21:11] <ebel> sorry, i'll try to look into again
[21:11] <ebel> #subtopic
[21:12] <ebel> #subtopic infoturtle to be ready to maintain, install & admin new website
[21:12] <ebel> but infoturtle isn't here....
[21:13] <ebel> perhaps we leave this until later, infoturtle might show up
[21:13] <moylan> shelve it till next meeting?
[21:13] <ebel> #subtopic ebel to reply to people w.r.t. cds
[21:13] <ebel> I have replied to everyone who expressed an interest in getting some CDs, and gave my address. I haven't recieved any SAEs and haven't sent any CDs out ☹
[21:14] <ebel> So we still have about half the CDs left.
[21:14] <ebel> Anyone want any?
[21:15] <moylan> i use netbooks so cds are superfluous
[21:15] <ebel> I'm unsure why the uptake has been so low this time, could be a combination of (a) me idlying too long with sending them out (b) people waiting for LTS (c) "send me a SAE" is more effort than when I posted them CDs for free
[21:16] <moylan> i think these days most installs are from usb
[21:17] <ebel> perhaps...
[21:19] <ebel> any comments on the review of previous action items?
[21:19] <moylan> no
[21:19] <ebel> #topic Campuscon this Saturday from tdr112

[21:21] <tdr112> i have them
[21:21] <tdr112> i am in tog now
[21:22] <tdr112> if any is in the area feel free to drop by and get a cd
[21:22] <tdr112> thats all
[21:23] <ebel> cool

[21:24] <ebel> #topic Any other business?

[21:28] <ebel> #endmeeting
[21:28] <meetingology> Meeting ended Wed Jan 18 21:28:05 2012 UTC.
[21:28] <meetingology> Minutes:        http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-ie/2012/ubuntu-ie.2012-01-18-21.08.moin.txt
[21:28] <ebel> thanks for coming everyone!
[21:28] <moylan> thanks for hosting
[21:28] <ebel> np
[21:28] <Victor9098> Finally made it to my first meeting! Was painless (lots to learn)
[21:29] <moylan> i must go through the old minutes to see if there's anything there that could be useful
[21:29] <ebel> Victor9098: cool. feel free to say anything you want
[21:31] <Victor9098> ebel: Thanks you
[21:33] <moylan> thought today with sections of the web offline there would be more irc activity.  much less though.  twitter was busier though
[21:35] <ebel> hehehe
[21:37] <Victor9098> Do not think the students trying to write essays will have rushed to the irc, maybe if it was the end of semester there would have been more of a panic
[21:38] <moylan> well when one medium goes down i would have expected them to use another channel (irc/twitter) or step away from computer entirely.  seeing one medium twitter busier than irc though to my mind is odd.
