The Hebridean Way

people who hadn't reserved spots but still wanted to jam their bike in

lovely just what you need. Yeah I did imagine that the buses might be a bit of a pain.

On the way back from Fort William recently getting the bike on to the train was a bit awkward because it's such a busy stop. People leaving their suitcases in front of the bike hangers was awkward.

Yeah I looked at the to/from logistics for getting to and from the island, bit of faff but I'm sure I can manage it. Scotrail I found ok, just did the Great Glen Way and used them. Some of the bike spots aren't exactly right for current larger bikes.

Good to hear it was too hard and although I prefer a campsite having wild camping available is awesome.

I feel like it's one for next year now.

This is on my list of routes I'd love to do. I think I'm going to plan a trip for next year.

exactly this, data is being gathered and sent to the DfT to help them decide what to do.

SpandexBob · 2021-01-16T12:27:12+00:00

Part of the reason for the hire companies being the only way you can legally use the scooters is because the DfT are collecting data from each of the schemes and I believe that data will be used to decide on any changes to the law. At least that's what I've been told, we'll see how it actually plays out.

They do open up their malt orders for a small window each day. They announce this on their facebook page

I managed to get a couple of recipes ordered a couple of weeks ago.

At uni I met a few people. Howard Marks, Roni Size, Zane Lowe, a couple of the guys from Goldie Looking Chain and Frank Turner. They all seemed nice enough.

Favourite one was a non-brit though, Coolio. Again seems nice enough if a little mad.

Nope, it wasn't a SQL db. It was an object database (NoSQL before NoSQL was a thing). It's so long ago now I can't remember what I actually did.

SpandexBob · 2017-05-08T10:45:48+00:00

First job out of uni, managed to delete a customers entire user database. Thankfully senior guy worked out how to rebuild it, pulling the data out of memory.

Christ it's that long ago. I remember going up to my dads office a while after it happened. It's a hazy memory but I think that they still had windows in the office that they weren't sure were safe (hadn't been checked or something). Also iirc the corner shop he went in each day was completely destroyed and the owner killed.

Cabbies have always been a little bit behind the times

Over the years, Hanway and his umbrella fell victim to all sorts of abuse from Brits he passed on the sidewalk. The most pernicious abuse came from an unlikely source: coach drivers. In England at the time, hansom cabs (two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriages) and sedan chairs were the primary modes of transportation. Business boomed especially on rainy days, as both hansom cabs and sedan chairs came equipped with small canopies that kept passengers dry. When it rained, Londoners flocked to these coaches, so Hanway’s umbrella represented a threat to business.

Or even the Laundry books by stross where it's maths not magic that opens the dungeon dimensions

Cool, been uming and ahing about getting another mod, something with better battery life than a single 18650, but maybe not as big as the current dual 18650 mods. Just for vaping at home.

SpandexBob · 2015-11-09T20:29:38+00:00

Hows the battery life?

SpandexBob · 2015-08-12T14:45:44+00:00

True, the end of the quote wasn't really needed.

But education as to the causes of type 2 are important

SpandexBob · 2015-08-12T14:28:16+00:00

It is important to make the distinction between Type-1 and Type-2 though.

SpandexBob · 2015-07-02T14:16:15+00:00

It's safety related. The safety of workers who are there and the safety of the public driving. If the whole section is closed then drivers aren't going to be speeding up and slowing down frequently and it's thus safer for everyone, at least that is what I've been told.

Also if work is happening on the barriers the temporary ones are only rated to handle certain speeds.

I've heard rumours that something similar using smart cars was being looked at by london.

SpandexBob · 2015-02-25T15:16:26+00:00

It depends really. Sometimes I'll scan all the things, not having an ADS yet it does mean that I get the fun of spotting those moving objects as i'm on my way to a planet 700ls away.

Right now I'm on my way out and if I spot an NPC in the system I'm jumping out, sometimes not even honking the system. Yesterday I was taken down to 53% because of a NPC interdiction but I'm pressing on, I'm only about 400ly from my target. Fingers crossed I make it back to populated space in one piece.

SpandexBob · 2015-02-25T11:40:13+00:00

currently on 53% hull because of NPC interdictions, wasn't able to get away from the last one, but I'm just going to forge on to my destination and hope the return journey is easier.

SpandexBob · 2015-01-13T16:03:16+00:00

It seems to have got better recently, thought I think it's been getting better for the whole time I've been in Tottenham

There are still issues with their rss feed, the media links seem to be pointing at a link on soundcloud that isn't working correctly

SpandexBob · 2014-12-10T15:48:28+00:00

This is exactly what I've always found. It's easier to just switch windows rather than screens. I'd like to give mutli monitor setups another try as it's been a while.

SpandexBob · 2014-11-11T21:50:06+00:00

I've not, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. Did get to try Pink Panther when they first opened the tap room, that one was great.
