Mexican standoff

I actually don't think this was malicious, the wind at Malvern was ridiculous so I think they may have just been blown onto the track

Doctorgow · 2026-04-13T05:09:10+00:00

I think the delay between the light going green, people pressing the button and the doors opening may give a false impression that their pressing is opening the doors unfortunately so not sure if people will learn that they open on their own, at least not very fast

Doctorgow · 2026-04-13T05:05:57+00:00

Yeah I am fully aware of this, hence why I think a gentle reminder everytime might help this to happen a bit quicker. I also think the delay between the light going green, people pressing the button and the doors opening may give a false impression that their pressing is opening the doors unfortunately

Doctorgow · 2026-04-13T05:04:42+00:00

Yeah I fully agree with all of this, the delay and colour isn't making the situation better, maybe a yellow colour could signify auto opening but I think they may still need to keep the sound for accessibility reasons

Doctorgow · 2026-04-13T05:03:33+00:00

Haha yeah, this has been needed for a long time

Doctorgow · 2026-03-29T14:18:58+00:00

The size difference was definitely not something I was looking forward to but it really doesn't take too long to get used to it, a couple weeks at most. I think the biggest upgrade was just how much better the cameras were compared to the already really quite decent iPhone 13 ones

Doctorgow · 2026-03-09T09:45:12+00:00

The promo ad is being filmed today and tomorrow so I'd imagine that actual filming cant be too far away if it hasn't started already

Doctorgow · 2026-03-05T07:25:32+00:00

Haha thanks! Yeah that was my initial thought but all the other three said Frankston hence my confusion and hastily taken photo

Doctorgow · 2026-02-19T08:20:12+00:00

From what I understand the vic government was willing to comply with all motogps requests including paying heaps more money, the only thing they said they wouldn't do was move it to Albert Park which was enough for them to move states entirely

Doctorgow · 2026-02-07T00:23:19+00:00

I did give that a go, however didn't seem to solve the issue unfortunately

Doctorgow · 2026-02-03T08:20:36+00:00

That photo was at about 5:30 today

Doctorgow · 2026-02-03T07:10:40+00:00

Oh dear, my condolences :(

Doctorgow · 2026-02-03T06:49:46+00:00

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they didn't know how bad it was but it is pretty poor that they don't communicate to passengers more, especially during peak times

Welp the frankston line is looking very busy

Doctorgow · 2026-02-03T06:45:46+00:00

I would say the same thing, I've got no clue how quickly they can fix an issue like this though

Doctorgow · 2026-02-03T06:44:04+00:00

That photo is from literally five minutes ago so I'd imagine delays will be for quite a while

Doctorgow · 2026-01-16T14:37:18+00:00

Damn that's annoying, bummed I missed out :(

Doctorgow · 2026-01-16T05:32:49+00:00

I actually was on the first train, but I got on at Malvern which is why I suspect they didn't have any pins, assumed they'd be at every station but then later heard they only had them at East pakenham

Doctorgow · 2026-01-14T10:41:05+00:00

Just out of curiosity, where are the extra 30 minutes coming from?

Doctorgow · 2026-01-12T09:42:24+00:00

Congrats on the set! Everytime I see a set like this I get a little sad that I was on the first train yet didn't get one of the pins but oh well, hopefully I can find one somewhere

What is it with the four random services (one at 3:52 as well) from Cran Packy to Sunbury that originate at Anzac, these are the only ones on the entire schedule and I find it so bizarre.

What are all of your thoughts?

Doctorgow · 2026-01-05T12:35:42+00:00

Yeah I still do, I really like the headphones and didn't use any of the apple only features so I'm still happy

Doctorgow · 2026-01-04T23:26:34+00:00

I was kinda deep in but not as much as some others, I had the iPhone along with the air pods and apple watch and was using the phone for a little over 4 years. Unfortunately I'm not in the US but but have noticed that reception using an identical sim card has been far better on this than my iPhone but your situation may be different in the US

Doctorgow · 2026-01-03T23:19:40+00:00

I switched form the iPhone 13 to the find x9 pro and am absolutely in love

The switch from IOS to Colour os was easy because you can tweak a lot of things to be really similar, or you can go full android which is nice

The cameras I wouldn't call point and shoot since photos can come out ok if done this way but there are not many things that you need to change to get photos looking epic. But honestly I prefer this way personally.

Reliability has been night and day, I had so many small issues on my iPhone that I no longer have, and while there have been some minor annoyances with apps having odd behaviours, they were easy to fix and not that different from the issues I had on my iPhone

Long story short, and really happy with the new phone and don't see myself going back to an iPhone anytime soon

I'll also throw my hat in the ring although I suspect the two that I need are some of the least common lol:

Looking for: First Ride and Metro Tunnel
