It’s 12:34:56 7/8/9

We only see this time once per century, per time zone and right now in the UK it’s officially 12:34:56 7/8/9 BST. Totally pointless, but at the same time flipping brilliant! One of those things you can brag to your unimpressed kids about.

Where were you at at 12:34:56 7/8/9 and what were you doing? I was in the office, taking a screenshot to acknowledge the moment.

Ah, how we find the most unimportant things fascinating. I’m sure I could write a whole post about how numbers rule the western world.

Refund from TFL after Strike

by Calvin Robinson on July 20, 2009.

IMG_0081If you’re living in London you’ll remember there was a tube strike last month, when the RMT (union) decided they weren’t being payed enough and figured the best way to resolve this would be to shut down the Capital of England. Well play gays /sarcasm.

Today I got a ltter from TFL appologising again for the idiots that are the RMT, and providing me with a £10 goodwill payment. How nice :)

I applied for this on the TFL.gov.uk website around the time of the strikes and had totally forgotten about it until today. I do love when big companies are honorable enough to provide goodwill gestures.

Vote Match

by Calvin Robinson on June 5, 2009.

Okay so I’m still feeling guilty for missing the European Elections yesterday. Terrible.

Just for reference, here are my Vote Match results. These things aren’t completely accurate of course (we’d need far more questions, plus it’s not uncommon to disagree with your party on certain aspects), they are just a bit of fun. Oh, I’m a Libdem by the way.

Get your own results here.

I’d just like to thank everyone who supported me. Thanks for sponsoring me, your money will make a difference to those in need of it.

A quick shoutout to Toni and Guy in Farringdon for neatening me up a little and sorting me out with a wash&dry (cheers Michael).

Thanks to Desire and ITProPortal for publishing the story, and the rest of the Net Communities office for all the support. Cheers Mark for doing the actual shaving lol.

If you want to view the recording of the event, click here to go to the Red Nose Day page.

You can still sponsor me – donate to Red Nose Day and make a bit of a difference.

Cheers people,
