Has one of you juxt lads cut a cable near Milton Keynes?

alexlynham07:02:01

A bunch of cancelled trains

jonpither07:02:53

Sorry about that.

dominicm07:02:09

Thank God I'm wfh today

dominicm07:02:17

Sounds like I dodged a bullet

dominicm07:02:09

Oh it's only 20 minutes of delay as they run via Northampton instead...

alexlynham08:02:04

@jonpither I hope the copper fetched a good price. Is that how the juxt foss work is paid for? 😛

jonpither08:02:38

Somethings gotta :-)

alexlynham08:02:12

@dominicm "working from home" - "recovering from a night of swashbuckling larceny-based adventure"?

alexlynham08:02:45

I like graphs

jonpither08:02:52

Squeaky bum time

alexlynham08:02:40

Always think of yegge's thing - as soon as you start looking for graphs, you realise literally all of everything we do with computers is based on graphs

alexlynham08:02:28

Is it going to be open source? Are there docs I can have a gander at?

alexlynham08:02:51

Soz for all the Qs 😉

thomas08:02:06

looks interesting @jonpither

jonpither08:02:19

Open source (in April) and we are looking for people to have a sniff.

dominicm08:02:36

Signalling cable is migrating to fibre, so really there's a limited time to steal the remaining copper

dominicm08:02:09

If you're braver, you can go for 20k volts of overhead cable

jonpither08:02:28

Need to setup a proper mail alias for Crux, but ping me if you'd like access to have a browse.

alexlynham08:02:04

Cool! Will do!

alexlynham08:02:34

@dominicm that reply doesn't exactly lessen my suspicion of your misdeeds sir

thomas09:02:52

I always wondered what would happen if you throw an iron pipe across the third rail (800 volts) and the main rail... (don't try this at home kids!!!)

dominicm09:02:27

Apparently thieves do something a bit like that to get the signalling cable cut. They lay it across the track and let the train cut it for them.

dominicm09:02:49

then they attach one end to their landrover and drive off.

jasonbell09:02:01

Do you have a land rover @dominicm? 😉

jasonbell09:02:24

Apparently is the new Asking for a friend 🙂

thomas09:02:16

nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

dominicm09:02:37

I have a tiny little hyundai i20, officer

folcon10:02:42

thomas10:02:21
