Lance Armstrong is cool. He decided to tweet that he was in Glasgow and if anyone wanted to go on a ride. 300 people showed up.

Random Musings - Day #229

Just a last thing about Eindhoven. Those clear plastic bags that you are required to put liquids in cost 20 cents. That's the first airport I know of where you get charged for that.

Black eyed peas are still at #1 with "I've gotta feeling". #2 is with Tinchy Stryder. Calvin Harris ia at #3 with "Ready for the weekend", which is the name of his new album.

There's a strange (space cowboy) mix going about of Lady Gaga's "Love game (discostick)"

Random Musings - Day #228

If you get stuck on an isolated train station (e.g. St Johns), you are pretty reliant on the ticket machine. Dutch train ticket machines are awful. The ones on the station in Nunspeet were not accepting cards nor notes, which meant I had find 20 euros in change (the smallest value coin is 2 euros). Apparently, if you tried to buy on the train, you would be charged 30 euros penalty on top of the fare. Very annoying. Furthermore, the local restaurant refused to give change when asked. So had to get a ticket to the stopover and then buy another ticket from there. Funny, how they are hardly no tunnels in the Netherlands. It's probably because the country is newish, particularly with land being reclaimed, etc. But it's mainly because it is flat.

Also if you want to upset the Dutch, tell them that you think Holland and Netherlands are the same. Apparently not so. Technically, Holland is part of the Netherlands.

Spent the day, helping out har-fm @ har 2009 and ending up doing reports/interviews from the Lockcon #2 tournament, which is essentially locksport.
Also interviewed a lovely lady about gogbot. I was using a borrowed Zoom Handy 4 Recorder to do my interviews.

Now I'm relaxing in a lounge.

Just a settle an argument. It's tidbit and not titbit as shown on google fight.
