My phone connecting to eduroam in weird places

My phone connecting to eduroam in weird places

Places this has happened:
1. Stockholm Airport
2. On a bus in the middle of Rome
3. Halfway up an Alp
4. A rural swimming pool
My phone is blessed and I'm keeping it forever.

Would Luddites find the gig economy familiar? Luddites were hardly the anti-tech dullards historians have painted them to be.

Time to become a Luddite

I've done a Microsoft keyboard connected to a Mac with a remote Linux desktop. And I found the ~ key. Eventually. After I traded my soul.

I see Kingston Uni are doing another round of 'necessary' job cuts on the teaching side.

If I were a big paper journo, I definitely wouldn't be submitting an FOI asking if they'd been giving senior staff interest free home loans to relocate to Kingston. That would be an insane thing for a uni to do

Check out www.neoscan-solutions.com as well. No helium whatsoever thanks to high temperature super conductors. Still a way to go before your average clinical 1.5T uses this tech but super exciting.

Because humans are tightly wound balls of anxiety who overweight the risk they need to make a 500 mile trip in the next 15 minutes.

I have similar thoughts. I'm merely a pedant.

Well, sometimes the -70 freezer gets unplugged by the cleaner or the MRI chiller goes nuts but then security is *phoning* you and that's fine. If it's an emergency, e-mail is totally the wrong medium.

If he'd called it Deep Thought I would have called the nearest Vogon and informed them the plans for the Hyperspace Bypass were now routed through Musk's house
