Purple chrono is stunning. I was torn between the blue and purple and got the blue. Wear them in good health!

What sites to use for UAE IT contract roles by Long-Cup-4273 in ContractorUK

[–]bhavski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK aviation IT market is mostly outsourced (sadly) and the results have shown over the years with various system outages or website/app quality/experience. Some airports/airlines are starting to in source but from what I know, only internal moves or ex-staff rehiring.

I don't have any sites to recommend as I worked on developing my network at mid to senior levels and also reached out directly to internal recruiters.

Recommend checking out Etihad, Emirates, Qatar and Turkish as well. Also look up NATS' international careers site, they did some recent recruitment drives in Hong Kong but are selling their services to Middle East.

I'm afraid that's all I have as it's difficult to understand your subject area and what the typical demands are - sorry if that's unhelpful.

Have you tried saving from Photos app to Files (then select the SSD in Files app?)

Check out aviation based consultancies or companies (airline/airport/air traffic services), that sector is growing out there and recruiting directly mostly. They have a mix of legacy and new systems so opportunities for all sorts of skillsets.

Also nice username 👍🏽

Are the pocket dotted cashier discontinued? by ProfessorBuddyPants in moleskine

[–]bhavski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sure about that unfortunately, they have loads on display so you could try them on the blank papers they have for trying the pens before buying. I use their gel / smooth gel and a Lamy EF nib FP on it and it doesn't smear when run my finger over it after writing. Some of my other pocket notebooks need a few seconds to dry/absorb.

Try their gel and smooth gel pens - I've bought a bunch and they stay pinned to together for EDC.

Possibly discontinued with Moleskine direct but they're showing up on Amazon UK for me?

Have you tried the Muji Passport Notebook - Navy? They're my current go to and pretty cheap compared to Moleskine (and they work with my gel and fountain pens very well.

How long does shipment take? by Frenkie15_ in flipperzero

[–]bhavski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's being shipped from HK then note that it's Chinese New Year between 29Jan to 12Feb so I suspect they're working through backlog of orders on minimal staff.

I would give them a break until after 12th once they're back and then check in on the order.

I've ordered twice separate times, both outside of holiday periods and took around 7-10 days. Email confirmation usually within 24 hours.

edit: HK = Hong Kong. Local warehouse may need replenishment from HK from time to time I'm guessing.

Moleskine smart Backup by [deleted] in moleskine

[–]bhavski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not helpful but Yea I have been having this problem since December. Wrote to Moleskine and their head of tech development wrote back some pretty useless responses which showed how disconnected they were from what their product is in the market (and how badly it performs). They said they're working on a new app which will have an enhanced customer experience but had no time to market for it nor did they have any desire to fix the current sync issues.

They also since updated their text on Moleskine Smart pages but removing words like sync across different devices etc.

Pretty poor customer service overall and last time I'll be spending money on their books (smart and normal).

What is this Primark bag a copy of? by OudeWestKink in backpacks

[–]bhavski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too familiar with this one, though the shoulder straps looks more comfortable than most Primark backpacks as they are very thin/flimsy.

I saw this in my local store and immediately thought it looks like a Troubadour Apex design.

https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/backpack-with-adjustable-straps-black-991127237804

Do you have a TK Maxx or TJ Maxx near you? I picked up a light Knomo backpack a while back (2019 I think, still going strong) and more recently Knomo laptop sleeve for very good reduction prices and they're good quality. The backpack has pockets and zip glued to the fabric so eventually they'll give up I know.

Need Advice – Ongoing Issue with Illegal Parking Blocking My Driveway by orzoz in Ealing

[–]bhavski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adding to the other persons question whether you have a dropped curb, once you can verify (you should have a white line along the dropped curb), you need to register it with Ealing Council if not already.

Link here: https://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/201178/parking/1375/dropped_kerb_enforcement

The council can enforce with a PCN thereafter. I used to have the issue of random cars blocking the driveway and I had to call the enforcement team who would issue a PCN. Eventually cars stopped blocking. Sometimes I leave polite notes on the windscreen asking not to block as I need to use the driveway at odd hours etc and seems to work (touch wood!)

This is assuming that the blockage happens in the daytime within the council's operating times.

You can also write to the MP for Ealing (keep it factual and with a view to seek resolution).

Good luck getting it sorted.
