[11:15] <czajkowski> :)
[11:15] <airurando> noooo idea
[11:15] <airurando> tried several times from April last year
[11:16] <czajkowski> hmm
[11:16] <airurando> it took two of the 5 and went through the motions with the other 3 but they never showed up
[11:16] <czajkowski> I usually harass @pixie on twitter and he fixes things :)
[11:17] <airurando> I just slapped together a flickr acc for these ones to get the blog post up.
[11:17] <czajkowski> tdr112: interesting fact I think about 70ish teams can get the dvds
[11:17] <czajkowski> less than half ever order them
[11:17] <czajkowski> airurando: cool
[11:18] <czajkowski> we can always do away with the pix.ie if it's hassle tbh
[11:18] <airurando> no first issue I've had.
[11:18] <airurando> may contact them about it
[11:19] <czajkowski> do they are really good at fixing stuff tbh

[14:57] <czajkowski> if you join #ubuntu-community-team you can follow the conversations
[15:04] <airurando> thanks
[16:10] <czajkowski> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-February/036537.html  folks may be interested in this
[16:10] <czajkowski> I dont want to keep mailing the .ie list or people will think I'm spamming
[16:20] <airurando> czajkowski I say e-mail away. A mail about this once in a while would be welcome I expect.  with only 15-20 in this channel at any one time the impact is limited.
[16:31] <czajkowski> andru183: still doing mobile apps dev ?
[16:46] <andru183> czajkowski yep, in fact I was meant to get onto you and it's been slipping my mind
[16:46] <czajkowski> how can I help
[16:47] <czajkowski> want developers over to give a talk?
[16:47] <andru183> if it's possible
[16:47] <andru183> an afternoon class maybe even??
[16:47] <czajkowski> can you please email with link to the course and module what you're currently doing how you're doing it
[16:47] <czajkowski> so I can then present this to folks
[16:48] <czajkowski> also does the lecturer know about this idea ?
[16:48] <andru183> can of course, just going to go for a smoke and then I'll send it on
[16:48] <andru183> yep he does
[16:48] <andru183> he's even asked me again about it
[16:48] <andru183> brb
[16:49] <czajkowski> ahh cool
[17:02] <andru183> czajkowski there isn't much on the course page and you have to sign in to see the slides and stuff, I might send him an email first to get his input on the matter
[17:03] <czajkowski> yup
[17:03] <czajkowski> as the more details the better
[17:03] <czajkowski> as thats what they will ask
[17:03] <czajkowski> what are they coding in
[17:03] <czajkowski> how are they doing it
[17:03] <czajkowski> what they would like to learn
[17:06] <andru183> great, I'll get all that off him so :D
[17:06] <czajkowski> cool
[18:57] <czajkowski> This is rather depressing but also rather true. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-165_en.htm
[18:58] <zmoylan> but not unfortunately surprising.
[18:59] <zmoylan> there was a story which i've yet to track down that when ireland was required to hire an equal opportunity officer after joining the common market they advertised the post with different pay scales for men and women.
[19:01] <czajkowski> did you imagine it ;)
[19:01] <zmoylan> it was in the heroic book of failures written by stephen pile.  have yet to dig out an old copy.  there is a new version of the book but it's being butchered.
[19:01] <zmoylan> so no :-)
[19:02] <zmoylan> will pass second hand book shops tomorrow and will check to see if i can find it again.
[19:02] <zmoylan> and it does sound very 'irish'
[19:02] <czajkowski> it does
[19:03] <zmoylan> and they do mention some of the other doozies like the garage built in blackrock that had steps leading up to it. (it was a way around extension planning laws so not so dumb even if it looked it at first)
[19:15] <ebel> hahahah
[19:15] <ebel> think i've heard that story before.
[19:16] <zmoylan> i think i mentioned it to you ebel last year.  i have looked online since to confirm the story but have insufficient info to track it down.
[19:16] <ebel> The whole "women can't be sacked from public sector when they get married" had to be brought in when ireland joing EEC (which became the EU)
[19:21] <zmoylan> http://www.irishtimes.com/indepth/sisters/changes-from-1970s.html
[19:22] <ebel> It's always good to read things like that when conservative claim "it's political correctness gone mad!"
[19:22] <zmoylan> though the juries one was weird as women had sat on juries pre independence
[19:22] <ebel> "Err.... well it was pretty messed up before then"
[19:23] <zmoylan> yeah, well they need a clue by four to the back of the head in my opinion.
[19:23] <ebel> zmoylan: the thing with juries was that all men were included on the jury roll, but a woman had to apply to be on jury roll
[19:23] <ebel> essentially meaning most of the juries were overwhelmingly male. It was 'always in' for men, but "opt in" for women.
[19:24] <ebel> so you could have /some/ women on juries. but it wouldn't be representative of the country
[19:24] <zmoylan> if you ever suffer from low blood pressure get your mitts on and read 'this great little nation'  your blood will boil
[19:25] <ebel> zmoylan: heh, tis a good book. wonder will they put out a new one. it's at least 20 years old now.
[19:26] <zmoylan> i think there's enough material for a sequel.
[19:26] <ebel> huh, only ~ 10 ish.
