Cloud Computing en Irlanda

Clouds of confusion as Galway councillor tells another to 'go f..k himself"

A GALWAY councillor has refused to apologise for swearing at a County Council committee meeting after he told a fellow councillor to "go **** himself"
Local area councillor Seamus Tiernan made the amazing outburst after he was told he was a "feckin eejit" for thinking that cloud computing was only suitable in areas with lots of rain.
He had told the Infrastructure Committee meeting this week that his native Connemara would be ideal for cloud computing because it has heavy cloud cover for nine months of the year."
The Independent councillor said that the Government should be doing more to harness clean industries for the Connemara area and he named wind energy and cloud computing as two obvious examples.
"Connemara in particular could become a centre of excellence for wind energy harnessing, as it is open to the Atlantic. Also in terms of cloud computing, we have dense thick fog for nine months of the year, because of the mountain heights and the ability to harness this cloud power, there is tremendous scope for cloud computing to become a major employer in this region."
However his mistake was pointed out by an incredulous Cllr Martin Shiels who said that "this is taking the biscuit. I've heard it all now. You must be a fecking eejit to think that the cloud computing had anything to do with climate."
Cllr Tiernan took umbrage at the remarks of his colleague and called for them to be withdrawn. When Cllr Shields refused to do so, Tiernan said "go **** yourself, Cllr Shields."
Chairman Sile Ni Baoill asked for both councillors to withdraw their comments, but Cllr Tiernan was repentant that Cllr Shields was wrong and that cloud comouting is linked to cloud cover.
"Tell me why large companies are opening server farms in cold wet countries then, he asked Cllr Shields.

Evidentemente es un bulo, de hecho investigando un poquito leo que estos "consejeros" no existen pero no creo que ande muy lejos de la realidad :D

Greener grass

Normalmente dicen que en España, la administracion es lenta a todos los niveles, la verdad es que encuentro que en Irlanda los papeleos relacionados con el gobierno son bastante sencillos y rapidos de realizar, no asi en la empresa privada.

Por ejemplo, la empresa suministradora de electricidad me dio bastantes dolores de cabeza hace unos meses, realizando cobros sin autorizacion mia y organizando un jaleo de tres pares a la hora de cambiar de una a otra, lo mismo para cambiar la cuenta para domiciliar los pagos; y eso sin contar que la mitad de las veces no entienden mi apellido ni aunque lo deletree con el alfabeto de la OTAN, el de alfa, bravo, charlie...

Hoy he realizado una gestion del mismo tipo en España, he necesitado tres minutos para hacerlo todo, y ni siquiera he hablado con un operador.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence... bueno, no siempre :D

Dos ruedas

Finalmente me he comprado una moto, justo cuando empieza a llover a cascoporro :D

He comprado una Suzuki GN 250 del 94, con sus cosillas para su edad pero funciona correctamente asi que espero no me de muchos quebraderos de cabeza.

El fin de semana sali a dar un par de vueltas por el pueblo para ver si no me he olvidado de como funcionan los intermitentes y demas que siempre me lio con esas cosas y al final alguien se me va a llevar por delante.

El problema que tengo es que dado que aqui llueve casi todos los dias me tengo que poner todo el equipo para salir incluso a darme un pirulillo y tardo unos 20 minutos en ponermelo todo. Ademas, como estoy obligado a llevar un chaleco reflectante con la L bien grandota pues tengo una pinta un tanto graciosa (ya pondre una foto uno de estos dias).

Sin mas os pongo mi nueva adquisicion:

Saludos!
