Did a talk at the OSSbarcamp on Saturday.
My talk was about launchpad Going through all of the features that I could think of in the time I had (Really everything other than ppas because I dont know myself). Other than talking way too fast and saying “mmm” a lot it went fairly well. I plugged the Irish translations team too My slides plan failed because my computer doesnt have a port for the projector though so I had to do everything on the fly.
I met some new people learned a lot and had a good time afterwards too. I met the ubuntu uk podcast team and talked to them about Irish translations. Its great to put faces to the voices I hear on the podcasts, I am a fan lol.
Thanks to everyone involved and Mean-Machine for letting me stay with him for the night.

Recently I have ran into a problem, its starting to happen more and more. The problem is people asking a question and not accepting the answer because they think the answer is more difficult than it actually is. They ask a question thats simple but they google the answer become misinformed and think the answer you give them isnt correct. Ask your questions im happy to help just accept the answers, if you try my answer but it doesnt work I will try again until I run out of ideas but at least try. Dont just dismiss them or at least provide more info. If you found something on google give the link ill say if its useful if you dont know. This way it saves time for you and me.
