| Marlow_uk | Ohai, Just checking if there's a release party in Dublin/Ireland on the 17th of April ? | 16:09 |
|---|---|---|
| zmoylan-hp | haven't seen any mention of it yet | 16:09 |
| Marlow_uk | could be be a last minute, #Fail , me thinks ? | 16:10 |
| Marlow_uk | How may ppl , usually turn up ? | 16:10 |
| Marlow_uk | **many | 16:11 |
| slashbel | Marlow_uk: if you want to organise one… | 16:11 |
| Marlow_uk | Yeah, I just dunno how many ppl would turn up .. and where can one ask to commondear a large roomy pub for an evenings grolsh & beard gathering ? | 16:13 |
| * Marlow_uk doesn't know how to spell commondear :( | 16:13 | |
| Marlow_uk | i.e. WHERE ? | 16:14 |
| slashbel | you typically just ask the bar manager | 16:16 |
| slashbel | they're usually quite accommodating to groups wanting to spend money | 16:16 |
| slashbel | suggestion: put up a doodle pool for suggested dates, and email the list | 16:17 |
| * Marlow_uk scans for doodle pool ... | 16:18 | |
| slashbel | doodle poll* | 16:18 |
| slashbel | http://doodle.com/en/ | 16:18 |
| Marlow_uk | got it , thanks . | 16:18 |
| * Marlow_uk scans WhoseView : http://www.whoseview.ie/browse-category/Ethnic-Food-76.html?&start=10&limit=10 .... for a crazy venue :) | 16:21 | |
| slashbel | if you want as many people to come as possible, i would suggest a city centre venue | 16:22 |
| slashbel | public transport is pretty shite if you want to go anywhere other than city centre | 16:22 |
| Marlow_uk | fair enough ... why not take over a hostel common area for an evening ? | 16:24 |
| Marlow_uk | at least they'll be couches . | 16:24 |
| slashbel | that's an idea, if you can get the space | 16:25 |
| Marlow_uk | mmm .. It'd be nice to experience those people who actually live in those places just for an eveningf . .. it's like a jail mentality, or so I've heard . | 16:27 |
| Marlow_uk | Actually , It'd be a good test, of the friendliness of Dublin hostels, come to think of it . | 16:29 |
| slashbel | as i live in Dublin, i have never experienced the hostels | 16:30 |
| Marlow_uk | I mean , A hostel is supposed to be friendly to All walks of live/ and experiences .. and you can't get much more alternative in conversation with a hostel receptionist, than chatting about an Ubuntu meetUp. | 16:30 |
| * Marlow_uk feels emboldened. | 16:31 | |
| Marlow_uk | Anyone going to HopeX this year ? | 16:32 |
| slashbel | aye | 16:32 |
| Marlow_uk | are thee any tickets left ? | 16:32 |
| slashbel | i have only once ever stayed in a city centre hostel… i usually only do hostels when in the countryside | 16:33 |
| Marlow_uk | *there | 16:33 |
| Marlow_uk | slashbel: I done allsorts. | 16:33 |
| Marlow_uk | **I've | 16:33 |
| Marlow_uk | slashbel: Are there any ways around the US form-filling for a trip to NewYork .. could I hop over from Canada, on a bus or something , or are they all Swartzkopf now ? | 16:36 |
| Marlow_uk | This venue does look nice , but I'm still looking ... http://www.whoseview.ie/review/Gorgeous-ice-cream--859430.html#marker | 16:38 |
| slashbel | i know nothing about New York or Canada | 16:39 |
| slashbel | i have been to (original) York, that's as close as i get | 16:40 |
| tdr112 | Marlow_uk: yes you need to fill out the forms if you are not a us citizen | 16:42 |
| Marlow_uk | slashbel: Have I got this wrong ? You are /going/ to HopeX , right ? http://x.hope.net/ | 16:43 |
| slashbel | i have no idea what HopeX is | 16:43 |
| tdr112 | I am thinking of going to Hope | 16:44 |
| Marlow_uk | ohh .. Okk. | 16:44 |
| tdr112 | I should be in the US the week before anyway | 16:44 |
| tdr112 | not sure if it is worth the money | 16:44 |
| Marlow_uk | tdr112: Yeah, It's pretty crazy affair .. loads of aspie's ordering pizza & talking about moving to the moon etc . | 16:45 |
| Marlow_uk | maybe not your thing. | 16:46 |
| Marlow_uk | but Hope should be attempted at least once , definitely . | 16:46 |
| tdr112 | I go to most of the big cons in europe | 16:47 |
| tdr112 | ccc etc | 16:47 |
| Marlow_uk | I watched the on-line interview booth for 28 hours straight , last time . pretty Amazeballs . | 16:47 |
| Marlow_uk | yeah , if money wasn't destined for 'other things' then I'd be all over Europe this year, going to Cons. | 16:48 |
| Marlow_uk | funny, the one thing not talked about much at HopeCon, last time , was crypto-Currencies .. odd-that. | 16:51 |
| tdr112 | Marlow_uk: Do you go to any of the 2600 meets | 16:52 |
| Marlow_uk | wish I did . #isolated . Do they still meet in Dublin ? | 16:53 |
| tdr112 | They do, have been for years | 16:54 |
| Marlow_uk | i did see a thread of Dublin somewhere .. | 16:54 |
| Marlow_uk | Are they really just pot-kings as opposed to beard-dwellers ? | 16:54 |
| tdr112 | http://dublin.2600.ie/ | 16:55 |
| tdr112 | I have know idea what you mean ? | 16:55 |
| Marlow_uk | , just a certain type of cyber-geek . | 16:56 |
| * Marlow_uk shouldn't judge really .. must stay open ! | 16:57 | |
| Marlow_uk | tdr112: Nice page , beats our local BCS crapolla any day . | 16:59 |
| Marlow_uk | tayto are moving to county Meath .. must a conspiracy there somewhere .. | 17:02 |
| * Marlow_uk has a Cuppa Kenco .. & a vape .. BRBack in 5 . | 17:02 | |
| Marlow_uk | anyway I'm babbling .. I'm on Ubuntu gnome 14.04 beta, you tdr112 ? | 17:08 |
| tdr112 | 13.10 - its a dev laptop for work so I dont run any beta | 17:09 |
| Marlow_uk | k | 17:09 |
| Marlow_uk | any ambitions for ubuntu , yourself , program -wise ? Are you thrashing code ? | 17:10 |
| tdr112 | I have no interest in ubuntu dev, I do enough dev work during 9to5, I dont want to do it in my free time | 17:13 |
| Marlow_uk | fair enough .. I'd like to increase my security .. big time . | 17:15 |
| tdr112 | of your laptop ? | 17:18 |
| Marlow_uk | but security people are few on the ground . | 17:19 |
| Marlow_uk | tdr112: yes. | 17:20 |
| tdr112 | install a firewall | 17:20 |
| Marlow_uk | I find the tor site a complete waste of time . | 17:20 |
| Marlow_uk | dioesn't ubuntu come with a firewall , then ? | 17:21 |
| * Marlow_uk scans for firestarter .. | 17:21 | |
| tdr112 | tor is for anonymity not security | 17:21 |
| Marlow_uk | sometimes, I wish I had both . | 17:22 |
| Marlow_uk | Is Gufw firewall ok to use ? | 17:24 |
| Marlow_uk | oh well .. installed and running .. seems Ok .. :/ | 17:29 |
