| emboss | How did the release party go? | 08:00 |
|---|---|---|
| slashtommy | good, had about 9 or 10 people in total | 08:31 |
| tdr112 | good fun | 09:03 |
| ebel | Some photos of dublin release party http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorymccann/sets/72157629931484929/ | 09:08 |
| emboss | cool | 09:08 |
| zmoylan | kicking myself with good leg that i wasn't able to make it :-/ | 09:09 |
| emboss | Like the debian t-shirt | 09:10 |
| emboss | That pub looks really nice | 09:10 |
| emboss | must try get over there for a pint midweek | 09:10 |
| ebel | The beer is good, but the accoustics are terrible. it's very loud | 09:11 |
| * slashtommy would be responsible for the debian t-shirt | 09:11 | |
| emboss | ebel: Your not the first person to say this | 09:11 |
| slashtommy | however, the coppercoast and blackrock from dungarvan are very nice | 09:12 |
| * emboss loves the dungarvan coffee and oatmeal stout | 09:12 | |
| emboss | Think it's seasonal tho | 09:13 |
| slashtommy | i didn't know they did one | 09:13 |
| emboss | Yep, just in the winter months IIRC | 09:13 |
| slashtommy | i know o'haras try and throw out a few speciality casks occassionaly | 09:14 |
| slashtommy | not so impressed with the o'haras casks tbh | 09:14 |
| emboss | have you ever been to the craft beer co in london? | 09:15 |
| slashtommy | craft beer co? | 09:15 |
| emboss | http://thecraftbeerco.com/ | 09:16 |
| emboss | It's a little bit out of the way | 09:16 |
| slashtommy | britain is pretty well catered for when it comes to beer | 09:16 |
| emboss | but besides all the amazing beers, they have the most tasty crisps I've ever tasted | 09:16 |
| slashtommy | been saying to ebel that i need to take him to a camra beer festival sometime | 09:17 |
| emboss | There's one in numberg i've been meanting to get to but the last few times i've been in germany i've ended up wine tasting in landau | 09:19 |
| emboss | if you're ever over that way | 09:20 |
| emboss | http://www.landbierparadies.com/ | 09:20 |
| emboss | it's a small chain of pubs | 09:20 |
| emboss | they're only allowed sell beers from breweries than sell less than x | 09:20 |
| emboss | the food and beer is amazing | 09:21 |
| emboss | when your finsihed your beer you turn the glass sideways on the table and they bring you another straight away | 09:21 |
| airurando | off topic: does anyone know where I could purchase a prepaid sim card with a modest data allowance to work in majorca on an emobile HTC desire? | 19:44 |
| zmoylan | wouldn't the emobile phone need to be unlocked first? | 19:45 |
| zmoylan | http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/spain-portugal/5322-prepaid-data-spain-7.html | 19:48 |
| airurando | zmoylan: Thanks for that. I was wondering about the need to unlock. does anyone know either way? | 19:50 |
| zmoylan | i've sent an old phone to a mate in the uk. it needed to be unlocked as it wouldn't work over there without that. they could have unlocked it but i preferred to send it unlocked as they were on a very tight budget. | 19:51 |
| zmoylan | the quick way to test is to put in a sim from a different network and see if you can setup the apn and get gsm and 3g data. | 19:51 |
| zmoylan | the htc is a common manufacturer so i reckon it should be cheap to unlock. (hope i'm right) go to nearest shopping centre and ask at phone accessories booth (they seem to be in every shopping centre) and they'll tell you. | 19:52 |
| zmoylan | best going prearmed but i reckon such a touristy area would have english speaking staff in shops who'll sell a prepay sim. i WOULD bring the apn settings from all the major networks in spain with me on a piece of paper or text file as i wouldn't want to use tech support or an mobile not connected to the internet to get them | 19:55 |
| airurando | zmoylan: as always, thanks for the sound advice. | 19:55 |
| zmoylan | no worries. | 19:56 |
| zmoylan | the first time you switch networks on a phone it can be a chore. my uk mate got most it working easily enough but had to ring uk tech support to get sms working as they couldn't sort the sms message centre wackiness. | 19:57 |
| airurando | I don't really care about sms. I would like the ability to make a few calls to Ireland and have modest data download for a two week period without punitive costs. | 20:04 |
| zmoylan | sms might be important for network messages. ie you've exceeded data limit and we're sucking your credit | 20:04 |
| zmoylan | not to be ruled out. | 20:05 |
| airurando | zmoylan: thanks again. I am incompetent when it comes to this and many other things. | 20:13 |
| airurando | it should not be soooo difficult. | 20:13 |
| zmoylan | phone companies would love to eliminate the sims and sell phones that only work on their network. apple is moving towards this goal with microsims | 20:14 |
| airurando | aye | 20:15 |
| airurando | pix.ie is only showing 1 of my 5 uploads of the release party | 20:42 |
| airurando | that will have to wait until tomorrow. | 20:43 |
| airurando | nn | 20:43 |
