        Zen Arado: ok so you know we record the meetings and you can have your comments deleted if you wish
        Flux Constantine: yes. the recording is fine
        Zen Arado: it's just that I am a new guardian and I forgot to tell a guy that last week :)

        Flux Constantine: yes, 2am here
        Zen Arado: I used to think that but some do
        Flux Constantine: I'm on a strange sleep pattern recently
        Zen Arado: so you haven't been to bed yet?
        Flux Constantine: I was asleep for a while earlier
        Zen Arado: you have trouble sleeping?
        Zen Arado: I do sometimes
        Flux Constantine: I think it's something that can't really be controlled by direct effort or "forced"
        Zen Arado: yes
        Zen Arado: I had a girlfriend used to have awful probs
        Zen Arado: went for days without sleeping
        Zen Arado: or nights I should say
        Flux Constantine: what part of the world are you in?
        Zen Arado: N.Ireland
        Zen Arado: near Belfast
        Flux Constantine: it's pretty amazing to get in touch with people from all over the world this way
        Zen Arado: yes
        Zen Arado: you learn things
        Zen Arado: never meet many Aussies though
        Zen Arado: think you would at this time
        Zen Arado: we are having a very cold spell of weather
        Zen Arado: coldest for 20 years
        Flux Constantine: I was just watching a video of Bono busking on the street in Dublin... I think on Christmas Eve, maybe?
        Zen Arado: didn't see that
        Zen Arado: wonder why he did that?
        Flux Constantine: don't know
        Zen Arado: he is into politics a bit I think
        Zen Arado: environmental campaigning maybe
        Zen Arado: funny ppl don't realize how divided Ireland is
        Zen Arado: I consider myself British more than Irish
        Zen Arado: the South of Ireland is a different country
        Flux Constantine: ah, OK... that's where my ancestors are from, mostly... the south of ireland
        --BELL--
        Zen Arado: interesting...
        Flux Constantine: I have that youtube link, but can't seem to see how to cut and paste it

        Flux Constantine: yes
        Zen Arado: my grandfather was from Dublin
        Zen Arado: so I have Irish ancestry too :)
        Zen Arado: you ever been here?
        Flux Constantine: no, not yet. I'd like to, though. I haven't traveled much at all
        Zen Arado: funny how few Americans ever leave America
        Zen Arado: but I guess the country is so big you don't need to
        Zen Arado: would take a long time to see all of it
        Zen Arado: I was in Florida couple of times

        Zen Arado: I never heard of him
        Zen Arado: ah I see
        Zen Arado: I did an engineering degree
        Zen Arado: only because I worked in engineering
        Flux Constantine: I studied physics more because it was interesting to me. always intended to work in computers
