It's 16.36 here, so if you're struggling for internet access, I can confirm we haven't signed anyone.

 

We're in the future, so saves you from checking lol

Doc, is that you?

Last day of term today for the teachers, I finished at 11am so nipped home to get changed because they were going out for drinks. Left my bike in the car park, locked in the bike rack and by the time I’d got back two little scrotes had come into the car park and nicked it! Then about half hour ago my work mate who lives on the estate rang me and said “I’ve got your bike back” lol

Well around 10pm the outage at that ISP appears to be recovering now. 

 

Solid 17 or so hour outage on my phone and my companies network. Felt like a bell sitting in front of my work laptop for 8 hours waiting for shit to work. Microsoft teams was working so had to be "online".  Company was too thick to call it a day by lunch or even 2 or 3pm on  friday. Lol

Its 11:13am here. I start work at 8am. One of Canada's largest intranet providers/telecom (Rogers) has had an enormous outage across large sections of the country although most are in southern ontario since like 5am ot something.

 

Luckily my internet is with someone else but our corporate site is down including vpn etc. Getting paid to do nothing on a friday! Woohooo!

so technically.. it was "Rogers Out! " lol

Do they know (are they telling) why yet?

Lol.

 

No and chances are they wont admit their weakness. Lots of speculation online but likely all BS.

Put your mouse on an oscillating fan. Will keep you green dotted on MS Teams in perpetuity. A good trick if youve got things to do

Need key stroke and app changer. They can monitor all kinds of things these days especially in WFH.

How much does you work monitor you from home? My place don’t have anything extreme, and I work outside of the VPN most of the time, but it’s obvs socially frowned upon to be yellow dotted on Teams for long periods. Mouse on oscillating fan will keep you green dotted. It sounds like Jattdogg’s place is quite extreme

One of those days of trying to convince someone of something I didn't do, despite having the proof. A certain someone is not having it. People can be so stubborn and set in their ways.

Tbh I'm not sure, not too much I don't think. Going yellow on Teams is my only obvious giveaway as far as I know, so I may need to give the fan trick a go

So i have a day off today and tomorrow, thought I should make the most of it and get my pallet decking painted.

 

It's days like this I curse my Irish grandparents for the gift of ginger skin.

 

My back is absolutely red raw lol

 

Ah well, the garden looks good!

 

I'm really not built for this weather, I should live somewhere inside the Arctic circle.

Just received a Notice of Intended Prosecution from the Met Police. 
 

Doing 24mph in a 20  :rolleyes:

Serious? was it a police van or fixed camera? 

 

That seems very unlucky I thought you got a certain % you could go over.

It was a camera. 
 

Usually 10% plus 2mph leeway, I think. But clearly not in this case! 
 

The alleged offence took place in May, and I’ve only just received the NIP, which is odd. They usually have to do it within 14 days or it’s invalid. 
 

I’ll challenge anyway and see what happens. 
 

Meh. Got better things to do with my time than dick around with this, tbh.

Yeah mate certainly challenge that for sure. 

 

I hope you get it sorted and can move on 🤞
