We need to stop gaslighting each other! Gas lights produce greenhouse gasses. Please, start sustainable supply electric-lighting each other, and don't use tungsten lamps.

...oh dear, I just realized I shared this to my local furry group's chat and that I'm wearing a harness in the pic.

I hope I don't, like, awaken anything in anyone, or whatever...

Hmmmmmmmmm. I tried to port our landline phone number from the old house to Flextel, so I can point it at their voicemail service and get messages as WAV files by email, but they say they can't accept porting orders at the moment because of "a revised industry process which is having teething problems and we do not feel confident that we could, in good faith, take on the port without the risk of loss of service". I'm guessing that's OTS/TOTSCo, the one @RevK :verified_r:'s running commentary a while back was not giving anyone any faith in. I haven't yet asked them whether, by "loss of service" they mean a risk of actually losing the number, or just having an outage on the number. So, I wonder what to do now. Port elsewhere? I'd like to get the number virtualised at some point soon. Can any provider port a number in the UK these days without risk? Hmmm!
RevK :verified_r: mastodon (AP)
OTS is just a front end on this, the underlying number porting process is the same. So odd if they stopped doing ports.

Pippin friendica
Well, it's ported to Voipfone! The number was "not recognised" for maybe a day while in limbo between BT and Voipfone, but I eventually got an email to say the port had succeeded, and I now get a WAV file emailed to me whenever anyone phones it and leaves a message. Success. 🙂

it's not just the BBC, every cunt does that these days.

I truly hate this kind of thing, where they grease the path of least resistance and impose maximum friction on the option that actually gives you a proper choice.

The constant need to "make money" inevitably just makes everything subjectively worse. It's depressing.

In my personal opinion, trains leaving from and going to the same location shouldn't cost different prices depending on the operator.

But here we are. Going between Reading and Basingstoke you can either pay more to use the slow frequent train, or less to use the fast infrequent train.

Use the ticket on the wrong service, and you can expect to buy a second ticket.

@renbymon Yeah, I was surprised at how low she went for. It may be that she was in poor condition. I'll ask someone who was able to inspect the suits just before the auction next time I see them.

If, like me, you have a shortage of RS232 (DE9/DB25) serial cables but a glut of Cisco console cables, you might find this useful
How to make a "universal" serial cable from a Cisco console cable.
https://www.philpem.me.uk/computer/serial_cable

I've found this *really* handy for wiring up the serial ports on the cable headend. USB to serial adapters and null cables are fine, but a USB console cable with a DE9 adapter on the end is much tidier.

Ugh, just my luck! I move away and just a few months later a comic con starts up in my old area, just 5 miles from where I used to live.

(Admittedly it's being held at a primary school, which suggests it might not be a particularly large event…)

Pippin friendica
@Alice Dryden no, nor me… I've never gone to comic cons for the guests though, just to cosplay and meet others doing the same. They have in recent years got quite expensive as a place to just hang out for a few hours though!
Alice Dryden mastodon (AP)
I did Excel a few years ago because a colleague's teenage daughter wanted to go and colleague wanted someone to hang out with :) It was a bit anime for me. The only other one I've attended was Coventry, because they were having a bunch of Bond girls. It was really fun, though I think the highlight was getting a photo with the guy who had come dressed as Hong Kong Phooey!

@Alice Dryden Oh gosh, I've been to (huge, impersonal) MCM at Excel a few times, but the May one keeps clashing with ConFuzzled. I went to CovCon back in 2018 in my initial burst of comic cons, once I had a wearable Spidey suit. It was quite nice, might have gone back if it was more convenient to get to from London…

Yeah, I went mostly because I could meet a northern friend and hang out with her. It was a lovely day though!

¡Damas y caballeros! ¡Prepárense para los Fursuit Games del siglo! O al menos eso dice mi guión que diga.
Los monstruos han invadido la convención y solo los más valientes héroes y heroínas podrán salvar el evento de las garras del Dr. Demente (antes Dr. Enchilada, ugh, ¿Porqué tuvo que rebrandearse su nombre?).
Divididos en dos equipos, los Rudos y los Técnicos. ¿Podrán derrotar a los monstruos? ¿Qué equipo será mucho más competente?

Ladies and gentlemen! Get ready for the Fursuit Games of the century! At least that's what my script tells me to say.
Monsters have invaded the convention and only the bravest heroes will be able to save the event from the clutches of Dr. Demente (formerly Dr. Enchilada, ugh, why did he have to rebrand his name?).
Divided into two teams, the Rudos and the Técnicos. Will they be able to defeat the monsters? Which team will be much more proficiency?
