[...] News from Keith is that plans are underway for a BarCamp to be held in Waterford sometime early in the new year. After their positive experience at the BarCamp in Cork, he and Tom Corcoran are planning it, and they can make available, “the facilities of the WIT centre in Carriganore – a superb building situated on its own campus.” Sounds good!

And most importantly of all, what’s “flimed”?

I understand your point Donncha. My problem isn’t so much the fact that you had a camera at the conference, it’s more that you were walking around like a reality TV, um, person – sorry, but I don’t have a lot of time for POV, it’s belongs in porn imho – and then published it on the web, presumably without asking people if it was ok. Going to a public place is not the same as giving permission to be flimed imho. Anyway, it looks like I’m in a major minority here, so I’ll leave it at that.

[...] A lot of the “regulars” were present, such as John Breslin and Bernie Goldbach, but I also got to meet Donncha “Wordpress” O’Caoimh who spent most of the day showing how his Apple laptop was really a multimedia production suite. I’m beginning to see that there maybe some truth in their advertising So maybe Donncha would be better off getting a job as a laptop salesman? [...]

Adam, I do respect people’s privacy. If I photographed you in your home you’d never see the photo in public without your permission. I photographed you ages ago in the Metropole bar with a several members of CLUG but I never uploaded that image anywhere. It’s all about a person’s expectation of privacy. There are always cameras and recording equipment at tech conferences.

At WordCamp in San Francisco I was photographed several times and there are probably hundreds of photos from the event. Besides, you couldn’t but be aware of me at the event on Saturday because I was using my laptop as a video camera. That looked ridiculous enough that people pointed, laughed and Ryan took a picture of me (I’d be surprised if that isn’t up already?)

I had a brilliant day there, and I think so did everyone else, despite the cameras.

Thanks Adam, you were right, I closed and re-opened FireFox and it’s left justified now.
