from a so far dry and sunny south west Dublin. </p><p>After a transfer fee
totaling over 1 million crypt coins, I have been seconded to write the notes
and drive the tech bus for the next few hours. </p><p> </p><p>There were 10
Participants on board the bus, and we had two apologies. </p><p> </p><p>First
of all, Martin asked me to mention the Dundalk walking weekend which takes
place this year on June 14<sup>th</sup>. </p><p> </p><p>Cearbhall was giving
out, (nothing new here!), about the RTE app on his smart phone. </p><p>When he
wants to listen back or listen to a podcast, he has to endure about 3 minutes
of advertising. This also annoys the minute taker, who once worked in the
advertising business. </p><p> </p><p>This practice began some time ago, and
first started on Newstalk radio. </p><p> </p><p>Paul reported that a couple of
days ago while checking his Bank of Ireland accounts, he noticed that all the
amounts were read out correctly as it once was a few months ago, before
somebody made changes which were not compliant with screen readers and
adaptive software packages. </p><p> </p><p>This is great and Paul is a happy
bunny, while Joanne is finding that her BOI app is much worse, and not only
that , but her husband a businessman is also having great trouble with the same
app. </p><p>Also her two fully sighted boys, are also finding difficulty with
the app. </p><p> </p><p>Ken is having great difficulties with his airpods
(second generation)</p><p>He takes them out of the box and pairs them with his
iPhone, then they ping,and then nothing. Happens, and no sounds come on.
</p><p> </p><p>Ken gave a good lesson on patience and endevour as he did the
following, </p><p>Unpaired the airpods form all other devices, made sure that
automatic discovery was enabled, but after an hour or so, of following good
instructions from Cearbhall/Stuart/ , he groaned but did not get the job done.
</p><p> </p><p>But persistent Ken then turned to the glamourous , vivacious
Lady Jackie, who brought Ken to the promised land. </p><p>They swappe their
set ups for airpods and Jackie told him of her settings for her airpods,
whether the lid of the airpods box was open or shut, and went through all her
settings, and Ken then did the same settings as her, and low and behold, the
sounds came through his airpods from his smart phone. </p><p>Is there no end to
Jackie’s talents !</p><p> </p><p>Here is Apple’s way or instructions to repair
your airpods. </p><p><a

</p><p>The Dogged determination of Ken , in going through the settings for
Bluetooth, , disconnecting the airpods from all other devices in trying out all
the many solutions he was getting from all and sundry was fascinating.
</p><p>Paul asked Ken when near the meetings end, if the airpods where still
working?, and he said yes in a very happy voice,well done Ken in sticking with
the task. </p><p> </p><p>Jackie said that Bluetooth can be a nuisance
sometimes, on a recent trip to her home county of the beautiful Donegal, while
driving back she got a mee</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Message that her laptop and airpods were left behind,
but she remembered that they were in the boot of the car. </p><p> </p><p>As my
driving of this tech bus is getting a little erratic, as rugby coverage is
getting a little closer, I have decided to park the bus till next week. </p><p>
</p><p>That’s all folks, have a great ST. Patrick’s day. </p><p> </p><p>Paul
from the real capitol of Ireland.
