Ah here.
The first day of the Web Summit from broadband-friendly Lisbon, Portugal.
FIGHT!
Previously: Web Summit on Broadsheet
Update:
Oh god… Paddy Cosgrave is doing a "Look how the wifi is working" thing on stage, but it's not working. Awks. #websummit

Am I going blind or do I see absolutely nothing in that cappuccino?
Your blindness must be contagious. I also haven’t a clue what the code is.
#PrayForPaddy
That’s the point. There is no wifi code. It is free to all.
Maybe.
Probably not.

It’s a pile of sh&#, both literally and metaphorically
The password is ‘blarghle’?
Ha ha ha me like!
No, it’s “********”.
Obvious, really.
Its the double infinity tattoo thing
Can we get Leather Jacket Guy sent to Lisbon too??? Who else… Ryan Tubridy?
got room on that flight for Brendan O’Connor, George Hook and Miriam?
The Viper
And Harbo. Obv.
Writing a WiFi password in a cappuccino is surely one of the harbingers of the apocalypse.
Harbo said what now?
it was number 6 in the 17 best harbingers of the apocalypse
V good
Specially if tis tay you’re sipping
Web summits are already irrelevant.
they should really happen online
This is like seeing your ex blissfully happy with another guy. Too painful.
yeah, you’d unfriend him on facebook, except the wi-fi is down again..
We should get Paddy Cosgrave to write a piece for this place. And give someone like leo varadkar right of reply.
would be mighty craic!
Ah yes it was the governments fault paddy cosgraves event didn’t have adequate wifi
he likes to blame the government and RDS for everything. last year they got the WI FI service they paid for from the RDS. He just didn’t want to take the blame so started throwing blame around at all his suppliers. If he wanted to provide better WI FI he could have planned and paid for it last year.
Also the Govts fault that hotel rooms were more expensive at a time of high-demand.
Fortunately, Paddy has received assurances that the laws of supply & demand have been suspended in Lisbon for the duration of the Web Summit.

They can keep him, the moany little git. And his anger management issues friend too.
Ah yeah
I remember him now
You’d miss the fuss all the same
He is a bit of a moany git but he did make some fair points.
The hotels do take the p!ss. We bend over backwards coming up with govt initiative to attract tourists & large swathes of the tourism ‘industry’ gouge visitors for a poor service.
Sure you can read the passeword. It’s: Wanquers
Is this Pyramid scheme still on going?
Well Lison is a European Capital, and dublin is a corrupt backwater, so there really is not much new here..
OMG am taking a photo of an overpriced coffee and tweeting it
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Hot air conference.
At the end of the day is the internet really so great that it’s worth the finite-but-uncountable smugness of the people who make it their business?
Yup, it is.
They are the visible innards i& offcuts of this great sausage-making experiment.
Looks like the barista put a dried bird poo in your coffee. Web Summit, prices starting at €3000 per ticket, please note that does not give you access to the “VIP Networking Lounge”, you would need a €4245 ticket for that! What are the chances Lisbon will pass for next year and other cities will be falling over themselves to get it.
What!!!!
3 grand !!!!
Are ya acting the bollix like
What were they last year when they had’t sit in foldy uppy chairs and hay bales ?
and for 3 kahunas you might not even have got in!

I have been seeing tweets from people today saying they can’t connect to the wifi in Lisbon.
Must be using their own 4g then.
Any tickets left?
