| daftykins | oh boy, letter today from a roadworks subcontractor... they'll be digging up my lane January 6th to stuff the fibre in \o/ | 16:36 |
|---|---|---|
| penguin42 | wahey! Who for? | 16:38 |
| daftykins | the Guernsey fibre project :) | 16:38 |
| daftykins | the incumbent still controls all the infra, two other ISPs can resell the same service | 16:39 |
| penguin42 | damn, that won't get this far... | 16:39 |
| zxmpi | you don't have a doomsday laser cannon you can turn temporarily into a data link to some location with fibre? :-P | 16:52 |
| daftykins | i've been trying to persuade penguin42 to arrange a road incident that takes down his lines for ages ;) | 16:52 |
| penguin42 | It's possible Netomnia has just installed some on the side road | 16:52 |
| zxmpi | a chinese delivery van dragged an anchor along the road tearing up the old copper :-P | 16:53 |
| daftykins | ooh, have you seen suspicious activities/vehicles nearby? | 16:53 |
| daftykins | zxmpi: haha | 16:53 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: A joint box suspiciously fixed to a nearby (BT) phone pole | 16:54 |
| daftykins | ooh | 16:54 |
| zxmpi | recycled by cunning ravens who waited till the price of copper was peaking :-P | 16:55 |
| daftykins | they're getting smarter all the time! | 16:55 |
| zxmpi | found 20c on wall beside where i've been leaving out peanuts for crows and ravens. think it might have been a 'gift' | 16:56 |
| daftykins | seriously? that's neat | 16:57 |
| daftykins | of course, if you take the coin and tomorrow they drop a loan contract outlining their rates, it'll be awkward | 16:57 |
| zxmpi | https://www.audubon.org/news/did-crows-actually-make-these-gifts-human-who-feeds-them | 16:58 |
| zxmpi | and you missed the chance to say cawntract :-P | 16:58 |
| daftykins | doh :( | 16:58 |
| zxmpi | not a spot where you'd drop money, that would land on the ground. this was on a low wall. | 17:00 |
| zxmpi | so kinda ties into the leaving of shiny things as gifts | 17:01 |
| zxmpi | if it happens again, it was the crows, if it doesn't someone lost 20c :-) | 17:14 |
| daftykins | :) | 17:14 |
