    TRWTF is using Windows for billboards. All they need is to display videos, so why not use Linux and save money on Windows licenses?

    It's exceptionally funny, that Daniel's elevator screen has german text "Papierkorb" and the elevator information is in Slovakian.

    And the scripts are named in English. Evidently IT is a worldwide business. ;)

    That EC train was delayed w/o estimate b/c it was held for forensics after an accident in Germany. It got released three hours later but delayed trains from Germany are not allowed to pass into Switzerland. So it probably went into a void instead of Milan.

    I've got nothing for today's posts, but I do have a question about yesterday's: how the fsck did the overly-strict site's code determine that a password was generated? I'm sitting here trying to decide how I would write that check, and I have no idea.

    A WTF with Switzerland that their entire transit schedule for every city and town from trains to buses to ski shuttles are in one GTFS schedule and the real time predictions are in one giant feed.

    All the videos are in WTV format?

    The real WTF is the street names in the first one. Does E SOUTHERN RD (named after Admiral George Southern), lead onto WESTERN RD, gateway to the EASTERN part of the NORTH expressway?

    It could be "hot fitted". I guess.

    Southern Ave is simply named because it was at one time the effective southern limit of Phoenix. Northern Ave is about 12-13 miles north of it. If you want WTFs about it, it passes through multiple cities, each with their own numbering patterns, so you can start in east Mesa with E. Southern, drive west until you reach Center St, then be on W. Southern. Continue to the Tempe border, and you're back on E. Southern, until Mill Ave, then W. Southern again. The Phoenix border sets you back to E. Southern down to Central Ave, where it's back to W. Southern, and continue similarly out the west side of town...

    A mile north of Southern is "Broadway Road", named not for (or like) Broadway in New York, but for Noah Broadway, who was a local Sheriff in the late 1800's. Tucson (2 hours to the south) even has "Broadway Boulevard".

    As European, I couldn't identify cardinal points even if staring at the sun.
