17:03:23 <rust_collector> NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
17:03:23 <DHess_US> This cold windy weather would be much more cheery if it included snow. As it is, it just reminds me of San Francisco in summer.
17:03:23 <rust_collector> did you forget to wear flowers in your hair, when you was there?
17:03:23 <DHess_US> Nope
17:03:23 <DHess_US> I mean I didn't so yes, I forgot.
17:03:23 <rust_collector> ok, that must be it then
17:03:23 <rust_collector> I did not know SF was a cold place
17:03:23 <DHess_US> Only in summer.

20:19:25 <Halcyon> Evening all
20:19:30 * Halcyon licks Ampera and steve30
20:19:43 <steve30> Am I tasty?
20:19:50 <Halcyon> Always
20:26:02 <Halcyon> A little over 3.5 hours until new yearis
20:26:05 <Halcyon> *years
20:26:15 <steve30> bit longer here
20:30:43 <Halcyon> I am so pooped
20:30:53 <Halcyon> I walked about 20 kilometers today
20:32:34 <steve30> for work?
20:34:27 Join: Chipguy ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
20:36:18 <steve30> Its a bit cool today
20:36:34 <Halcyon> Yeh I walked around the Sydney CBD, was back in uniform for a day
20:37:01 <steve30> Do you look good in uniform?
20:37:11 <Halcyon> I do OK :P
20:37:44 <steve30> tbh the police here have scruffy looking uniforms now. I think any amount of smartness went out years ago.
20:40:53 <Halcyon> I should have taken a photo for you :P
20:40:55 <Halcyon> Next time
20:41:51 <Halcyon> I bet you would love to see my gun, wouldn't you Steve :P
20:41:53 <Halcyon> :PP
21:37:47 <steve30> I really should write the letter I've been putting off for the last couple of weeks,
21:41:16 <Halcyon> To who?
21:41:52 <steve30> Probably someone's shredder.
21:41:59 <steve30> If I'm lucky it might go in a filing cabinet
21:42:16 <steve30> See http://stevecoates.net/customer_service/bus_complaint/ for the story so far
21:58:05 <Halcyon> Since you've sent a follow-up, do you think it's worth your time pursuing it any further?
21:58:48 <steve30> No. This will be the last one, unless they pay for my time.
21:59:07 <Halcyon> They could send you free trips?
21:59:11 <Halcyon> Maybe?
22:00:09 <Halcyon> I would drive you around if you lived closer
22:00:20 * Halcyon pats steve30
22:01:28 <steve30> I predominently travel by bike
22:01:40 * Halcyon is steve30's bike
22:01:41 <Halcyon> :P
22:02:21 <steve30> If they sent me some courtesy tickets, I'd make use of them though.
22:02:52 <Halcyon> But yeh, I get your point

22:03:19 <Halcyon> If ticketing machines aren't functioning (here we use RFID cards), then services still continue as usual, they don't get cancelled
22:03:38 <Halcyon> It's up to the service provider to fix the issues and if it costs them money, then so be it.
22:04:38 <Halcyon> Sorry not RFID, NFC
22:04:46 <steve30> First are a bit of an odd company. I think they micro manage the drivers.
22:05:06 <steve30> Other companies, especially the small ones, just let you on for free if the machine doesn't work. Although in this particular case, I had a day ticket.
22:05:54 <Halcyon> Most of our busses here are Government run
22:06:24 <Halcyon> Also the vast majority of payments/ticketing here is all one system, regardless if you use trains, busses, ferrys or light rail
22:06:26 <steve30> Ours is privatised (Thatchers doing I think)
