  • @unakavanagh I suppose I’d hv to promise to be good. Scouts honour #
  • @john_mcguirk @davidmcw some of us are determined not to listen or learn #
  • @paulmwatson @unakavanagh true. I’ll apply so πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson @CraicDesign you’ve never been to a Chuck E Cheese? It’s a cornerstone of geek-lore ! #
  • @paulmwatson so long as none of them were prima donnas πŸ˜› #
  • @paulmwatson they’re legs are solid. They can only do ballet in water – for bouyancy #
  • @CraicDesign @paulmwatson think so. Altho Woz liked his chuck e, I remember reading #
  • @mneylon I like Klipsch M40’s. But if noise isolating is good enough then B&W P5’s rock. #

  • @colettebrowne have been there several times and experienced the chaos+indifference #
  • @brianmlucey they’ve just banned the FT in berlin. #
  • @ireland perhaps if there was a referendum on whether to increase / decrease the number of bubbles in the “average” pint? #
  • @ireland I’m sure Ireland’s favourite meerkat would have an opinion πŸ˜€ #
  • @Maevequill s’good #
  • @paulmwatson @gavinsblog depends who’s calling ye progressive πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson @gavinsblog that’ll do nicely #
  • @LegalEagleStar @tnteacherTim also. Joan Burton clearly DOES NOT understand the difference between cyclical & structural deficits. #
  • @john_mcguirk @davidcullinane the exuberance of youth. Perhaps they’ll mature into open minded citizens capable of rational thought.. or not #
  • @thenext100k depending on how the vote goes it could really be all over πŸ™‚ #
  • @reverbstudios yep.. great show #
  • @abetson bono’s house #
  • @thenext100k they’ll be asking for our gold fillings next πŸ˜‰ #
  • @thenext100k @mrs_bopp @LiamdeBarra1 purpose of tax harmonisation is migration of jobs from low corp tax rate countries. It’s that simple. #
  • @JillKerby in the meantime the ecb is focussed on bankia & joan burton’s growth comments show she doesn’t understand structural deficits. #
  • @mrs_bopp @thenext100k @LiamdeBarra1 suspect we could survive 1 off small increase but “harmonisation” by defintion will kill FDI #
  • @JillKerby almost any random sampling of countries would produce a more stable currency http://t.co/ia8k0EzC #
  • off to watch the #vinb fight. I hope there’s swearing, blood & unruly behavior. #
  • @jcollery congrats on the sales today #
  • @jcollery good stuff. #
  • @jcollery @maryroche well I think it’s a very cool product. I think the test for JohnR and me was we wanted one immediately πŸ™‚ #
  • @dermotcasey interesting study. replace voting choices Yes & No with a random bag of positive / negative words and see effects. #
  • @dermotcasey @ireland totally agree. great week for @ireland. Hope we get some nice weather again. #
  • @dermotcasey indeed, searching for it but I have to rush off to a meeting soon πŸ™‚ #
  • @dermotcasey this is somewhat relevant http://t.co/kqtxijca #
  • @GTCost ECB economic forecasts? #
  • @thenext100k totally agree. you’re not a closet social democrat are you? πŸ˜€ #
  • @GTCost @clusterstock memoryless process. bears no relation to previous economic activity in Spain & only depends on Irish vote πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson might account for my recent cc fraud πŸ™ #
  • @thenext100k I know. was kidding. so which way you voting then? It’s a bit ambiguous πŸ˜€ #
  • Bitchy but amusing article pointing out that “let them pay taxes” Largarde doesn’t pay tax http://t.co/YHEG69bQ #
  • @paulmwatson yes.. but they got 5k & my card was blocked. #
  • @thenext100k a Dutch floating voter then? πŸ™‚ And I thought this referendum was going to be about children… #
  • @JoanCollinsTD @mrs_bopp tell us more #
  • @thenext100k @naoisen speaking as a PS worker, we also have too many v highly paid admin jobs. Altho cutting them won’t fix much. #
  • @thenext100k absolutely. I’m not disagreeing with you. Someone working 60 hrs a week doesn’t want to carry someone barely doing 25. #
  • @thenext100k indeed but my experience suggests those deciding who to cut should be the 1st to go πŸ™‚ #
  • @thenext100k when we cut wages we lose good people (from ICT anyway). We really nd to remove tranches of incompetent+indifferent. #
  • @thenext100k but that focuses issue on resolving banking crisis+bankruptcy laws. As every taxpayer on the hook for personal loan defaults #
  • @thenext100k anyway, the markets expectation is that our banks are kaput. They’re share prices remain “junk”. 4yrs of gov pretence #
  • @thenext100k because we’re still propping up banks which will inevitably fail as the economy adjusts to true losses. #
  • @ireland it’s certainly not right that they shouldn’t have a choice. Their politicians for yrs to come will say they have no power over XYZ #
  • Who wants to come with me to the Dublin Pub Summit with @ajkeen? I’ve got an extra invite – http://t.co/UvbydVEd #websummit #
  • RT @MishGEA: Eurozone Retail Sales Crash: Record Declines in France and Italy, Overall Revenues Drop at… http://t.co/sFrh097Z #
  • The ironman iron. Everyone needs one. http://t.co/NtaHTok9 #
  • @paulmwatson I’ve been known to. But not very well. However, I’m sure that iron-man could help #
  • RT @TIME: MIT researchers develop ‘Star Trek’-style needleless injections | http://t.co/trCES3p6 (via @TIMENewsFeed) <amazing #
  • @damianobroin @mrs_bopp a last gasp for democracy perhaps #
  • @rjrodger yep, have noticed that. particularly with streams. #
  • @mrs_bopp @Glenna_lynch @damianobroin Yes, they would but I have the feeling there’ll be a good turnout. #
  • @edeljennings see you there πŸ™‚ #
  • @carolinesimons @davidmcw The 2003 primetime piece is remarkably prescient http://t.co/Bv9J7taH #
  • @thelittleidiot @BostonDotCom common sense and decency prevails #
  • @Glenna_lynch @mrs_bopp @damianobroin seems like most of the country don’t care & aren’t voting #
  • @ireland must be true so πŸ™‚ #
  • @GTCost the last time I saw this business model it was promoted by Milo Minderbender in Catch22 – “everybody makes a profit” #
  • @edsheeran you should read the books (if you haven’t already). Best fantasy series in years. #
  • @_Melanie_S most people see they are fucked either way. Apart from ideological considerations it’s austerity v austerity. #
  • @_Melanie_S however, I believe _everyone_ should consider the ideology of any constitutional change. #
  • @alicecharles congratulations. #
  • @RealEddieHobbs @mrs_bopp Perhaps it wil be No but I’ve seen online polls suggesting a No landslide and that seems very unlikely #
  • @_Melanie_S if it’s a choice between pain & pain then you have to make a principled decision. That might explain why turnout is so low πŸ˜› #
  • @jedisct1 @eoinbrazil @b_erb very useful research. thanks for the link #
  • @AlanRouge @johnjoechad yep, that’s standard practice. #
  • @gavreilly @tnteacherTim we probably have. #
  • @forbairt bought s 13.3 last Jan. Very happy with it. #
  • @forbairt I found the 13.3 was worth getting as the larger screen is useful for impromptu web dev work. #
  • @brianmlucey you may suffer from a money bias Brian πŸ™‚ Years of economic training & research are hard to forget. #
  • @vdmeersven good. it was an idea of lunacy tbh #
  • RT @wonkmonk_: Treasury Yields Break Out of Range; Head Toward 1% http://t.co/5PIcs3aA @scottybarber <EU mess affecting US yields #
  • @dahowlett think I dated her once πŸ™‚ #
  • @colettebrowne @ibnezra I presume she swaps shoulders to get an even tan. #
  • @vdmeersven I tend to use them everywhere. In node.js, ruby and Java. It’s a neat way to organise your code & thinking. #
  • @vdmeersven I like the pattern described at http://t.co/fThwIxCY in Javascript.. #
  • @vdmeersven I’ve used http://t.co/xZu9eZFb quite a bit in the past. #
  • @ronanlyons not really. it’s unlikely richer voters are motivated altruistically (as you say) & poorer voters have less to lose #
  • @mrs_bopp you can but I fear there’s no point as they haven’t kept any of their campgain promises. #
  • @mrs_bopp should have been “campaign” but camp-gain does sound funny. #
  • @davidcullinane it’s looking that way. #
  • @astarmain @mrs_bopp I look forward to emigration #
  • @Garathon66 @wickedfairysad turkeys voting for christmas as they’re afraid of the new year #
  • @bryanfox10 it might not have been about “the mood”. @SenShaneRoss is allowed to make a principled comment. #
  • @bryanfox10 Yes, unless evidence is produced to the contrary I will assume the senator’s position was principled rather than opportunistic. #
  • @Moro1968 @johnjoechad Perhaps when the amount of private residential mortgages in arrears of 90 days or more exceeds 15%. #
  • @GTCost caviar commies the lot of them. reeking of deluded entitlement πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson I’ll still with OSX thanks πŸ™‚ #
  • @paulmwatson yes. spaces worked better imho but I can cope with the new dashboard. #
  • @paulmwatson @alphadevx inevitable really. In order to use stuxnet they had to take the risk of losing it. #
  • @erikwesselius @wickedfairysad @jemb123 some of thm were German, as it turned out in rather embarassing Bild interview on RTE few mins ago #
  • @lwidger wow, edtech is on again. Missed that. #
  • @aidanodr @johnjoechad rte always have trouble with numbers. Small ones like 50 and relatively big ones like #todaypk ‘s salary πŸ™‚ #
  • The story of Kim Phuc & one of the world’s most famous & harrowing photographs http://t.co/2wYNesq0 #
  • @contact_ie @VCurrentAffairs feels good to be a class traitor #
  • @paulmwatson @cianclarke node rocks. very productive framework. #
  • @maxkeiser we did that a long time ago. So long as we’re getting screwed then at least we know we haven’t been forgotten. #
  • @AndrewSB49 @mrs_bopp spot on. #
  • @davidcullinane reflects high unemployment & dire economic circumstances for many families. #
  • RT @DZone: “Graph Theory, Gremlin, and . . . the Chicago Bulls?” http://t.co/jaDxgweh #Gremlin #Graphtheory <useful article #
  • @ireland @Annb2 here’s my guess. Men never say “a do”. A function is professional whereas a social involves work colleagues but is informal! #
  • @feylya first thing I’d buy if I won !? #
  • @feylya with an onboard segway? #
  • @Annb2 @ireland we have work socials. Wow, never met a man who said “a do” before. Perhaps a county thing? πŸ™‚ #
  • @TellyDubby @BrianGreene would be worth the license fee to see all those tonight πŸ™‚ #
  • @noreenahertz Dramatic setting for a talk on economics. They normally perform opera there? #
  • @LISAAMCC @CarloWeisz they have 2 things we don’t. Self-respect and national pride. #
  • RT @slashdot: Is Australia’s CSIRO a Patent Troll? http://t.co/N06HkiXN <yes & we want to do the same here #
  • @EndTheEU has he said anything useful over the past few years? #
  • @paulmwatson only saw a bit. Then switched on to Alien 3. Both were terrifying. #
  • My new favourite (very technical) paper on economics. The futility of utility http://t.co/M7SzZzb5 #
  • @rjrodger yep and “==” does type coercision whereas “===” requires types to be the same. It’s a funny ol language #
  • @rjrodger but I’m starting to really like it. there’s a lot of beauty in node. #
  • @mofoghlu @rjrodger that should have been coercion. no idea what “coercision” but it sounds painful & hard to debug πŸ˜€ #
  • @thenext100k you can do really neat comparisons of yields, stocks etc. in wolfram alpha e.g. http://t.co/fj5N9CdQ #
  • @rjrodger it put’s everything else into functions aswell πŸ™‚ Who woulda thunk funnctional programming lectures were useful? #
  • @lindayueh seeing as the eurozone periphery look to be all “consumed out” πŸ™‚ #
  • @stephenkinsella I don’t but is it possible to use the usespss module? http://t.co/fACg3ivI #
  • @stephenkinsella a friend uses stata but I tend to use stuff like R / Octave so I’m no expert on this πŸ™‚ #
  • @damienmulley employ them as software engineers? πŸ™‚ #
  • Saw #promotheus tonight. Very enjoyable movie & teed up for a[nother] sequel #
  • @stephenkinsella did you use stat/transfer, usespss or another tool? just curious. #
  • @stephenkinsella ah ok. you can run windows using virtualbox on the mac. You have to pay for a windows license however πŸ™ #
