Alternative plan has been formulated. Have to have a night in Milan now. But I think it will still work out ok.

Oh right, first rule of interrail, avoid SNCF as much as possible...

Bollocks.

There really aren't enough night trains, not just the number of different routes, but the actual number of trains on those routes. Now need to work out what to do instead for my Holiday plans :(

@martijn That too.

Boo, in the time it took me to fill in the forms for booking the night train... they sold out of cabins. :(

FFs, the youtube app has changed behaviour with how it works with chromecast. Now tapping a video doesn't pop up a "Play now/Add to queue" box, it just immediately kicks out the current video, and starts playing the one you tapped. Even if you weren't actually intending to watch it...

DO NOT WANT.

@RosePuckey Alas some of the content I wish to watch is only available there.

Have ordered an interrail pass. Now waiting for the email to actually arrive so I can start doing things with it...

Anyone know who to book a cabin on a nightjet train with an interrail pass ?

New guy started yesterday, we brief all new staff that if you leave your laptop unlocked, you will come back to find an email to the whole company promising cake.

In other news, new guy has just promised us all Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

So far today my highly professional responses at work have included:

  • laughing (they sent me a meeting request for 0930 on a Monday morning!)
  • "Kill it. Kill it with fire!" (It involves Jira.

It's one of those days.

My latest video about speed limits and Amsterdam's new 30 km/h streets is now available to Nebula and Patreon subscribers.

As usual, the YouTube release will be on Sunday.

The snark is turned up to 11 on this one, so I'm expecting a visit from the Tone Police in the comments. 😂

@notjustbikes Excellent. Surely missing an opportunity to turn the snark up to 30 :p

I can't help but thinking this is more a case of fix your own shit. Rather than bitching about mastodon.

Pretty much any website beyond some self hosted personal blog should have no issues with the number of requests being talked about here...

Maybe if someone like @cstross was to be posting the link. That might be legit breaking. But for most mortals. It shouldn't be.

Fix your shit.

The problem with warning signs in braille is you just know something bad is going to happen. You can feel it.

"I'm very sorry, our power system is weird". An excellent understatement from @TechConnectify in their latest video.

The more I learn about the US electrical system, the more surprised I am that it works at all...

Yay for passive solar gain. Flat is 27° and the heating is off.

Storms a coming. I can see the lightning off in the distance. Looks like it's still about 30km away. Still blows my mind that it's visible from such a distance.

Bah, what happened to actual time tables ? Trying to work out what trains go to a specific station, is really hard if you have to search every possible journey :(

@quixoticgeek@v.st avatar

Am i being dumb, or is there no direct train from Claremont ferrand to Beziers in June? Have had this route recommended by multiple people as very pretty. But can't seem to get any journey planner to give me a time for it.

Should have added cc @jon

@jon @sukkoria boo :( that messes up my plans. Now to find an alternative scenic train journey. Currently need to fill the gap between Milan and Barcelona

We’ve cast off lines and put Honolulu to our rudder. Soon we’ll leave Hawaii in our wake as we sail on towards Japan.

@th for the handling of modern sails ?
