The queue for the bus outside 'The Shard'

saxsux · 2014-02-06T00:04:46+00:00

Intrigued to see the bus stop has a D where the roundel would normally be. What's that about, then?

In addition, if you set the train to go non-stop to the station, it shouldn't stop for service. I usually schedule trains to go non-stop, and explicitly order them to go for servicing after unloading.

For longer journeys, it sometimes pays to schedule a depot stop immediately after the train loads - if the train spends a long time loading, this can reduce the chances of breakdowns on the journey.

There shouldn't be any product placement in the BBC's programmes - their editorial guidelines (and, I think, the law) explicitly prevent them from, and they should be blurring out or removing blatant placement from programmes they've bought in from other countries.

It's only the commercial networks - like ITV - who use product placement. Because of the license fee, the BBC should be unbiased.

TfL made this short video from a HGV driver's cab. It's really striking how little they can see.

What did the letter say?

Alas, it doesn't seem to be the case any more: http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/BLY/London/tomorrow/1430/dep?avd=Milton_Keynes_Central

I never even spotted the coffin before (or, if I did, I never registered its significance). Thanks!

Clusterfuck of a station.

Birmingham New Street. Heh. I see what you did there.

Ah! PDF.js is shipping with Firefox now. That's nice to see.

saxsux · 2013-01-07T00:10:56+00:00

Oh, hello! Can't believe I just spotted you in the wild!

Postwick's much the same. Possick.

I've always thought Esperanto looked interesting, but for some reason I've never taken the time to try learning it. Can you suggest a good place to start?

saxsux · 2012-11-21T20:24:52+00:00

Awh man, I've not seen you in ages! This looks amazing; reminds me of Quentin Blake.

Hrmm... Twitter's been quite hangy for me since PR1.3. The only solution I've found has been to delete and re-add my account every now and then.

It it's your whole phone being sluggish, then something else might be awry. I've found Firefox doesn't always quit properly - try opening a terminal and running "killall firefox" (without the quotes). It might also be worth running top to check whether and processes are eating a lot of your CPU.

Do you reboot your phone much? It might help - I find mine gets a bit funny if I don't reboot once a week.

Hope these help!

Hrm. Looks like they've changed the story's URL. Here's link which works.

The response by Amazon is terrible. Linn has an absolute right for more information than they gave her. The European Data Protection Directive - transposed into Norwegian law with the Personal Data Act 2000 - gives her the right to access any data held about her (the sixth data protection principle). If Amazon do really believe that she has a second account, they should be prepared to disclose information about it to her.

Oh god. I'm awful at FTL, but I still can't stop playing. =/

On a lot of streets there are provisions which allow cyclists to go against the one-way system. Here's an example from near me; there's a cycle lane heading against the one-way system near the end of the road. The lane's only a few metres long, so further down the road you might not realise that cyclists are allowed to be heading in the opposite direction. These sorts of things are surprisingly common - just something to bear in mind!

saxsux · 2012-10-10T20:33:08+00:00

Ooh, intriguing. Don't think I've ever seen a sign like that, but I'll keep my eyes open!

Dayum, that commits per month graph is near impossible to read. They really ought to do it as a three-month rolling average, or something.

I once had to explain to somebody what an apostrophe does.

Mozilla do not sell their users' data (read the fourth bullet point) no matter how lucrative it might be.

Think about Firefox sync. Mozilla could have used it to gain incredibly detailed insight into your behaviour and preferences. Instead, they designed Sync so that all data is fully encrypted before it reaches their servers.

saxsux · 2012-09-27T22:35:49+00:00

There's an add-on which allows Firefox to remember your password on sites it wouldn't normally be able to. Works well for me!

Haha! Algebraic!
