<cransom> how nice of them to let me in the country!
<goibhniu[m]> I missed my ferry. Maps said it would take 15 mins to get there, it took 50 ... and I got there 10 mins after the "check in time" ... Which is apparently actually when the gates close. I'll still be able to get to London, but I won't be able to drop the stuff off at 17:30.

<zimbatm> goibhniu[m]: at what time are you arriving approximately?
<zimbatm> the doors are open until 7pm in case that helps
<goibhniu[m]> Thanks, but I won't get to London until 1 tonight
<goibhniu[m]> Not ideal :D
<goibhniu[m]> Can you send me a picture of the amplifier when you get there? Just in case they've changed something ...
<zimbatm> oh no!
<zimbatm> will do if I can enter the correct room
<zimbatm> it's the panel on the left when entering the room right?
<goibhniu[m]> That's right, close to the door
<goibhniu[m]> Just snap a few pics of the gear in there

<goibhniu[m]> I'm just nervous about it ... It will probably be fine
<fadenb> A room full of nixos hackers, we will find workarounds for any issue :p
<goibhniu[m]> \o/
<cransom> bus factor very high, i expect.
zarel has joined #nixcon

<clever> tazjin: the laptop reading 6:41 am keeps throwing me off, the sun is too bright for 6am
<tazjin> clever: similar issue here, but only off by one hour, so Google Maps keeps saying "X opens at 11!" while I'm like "huh, but it's 11:42!"
<clever> oh wow, the plane landed at 6:30, and i got to the hotel by 8:30 ...
<clever> how did i spend 2 hours in security + tubes? lol
<tazjin> clever: regarding the lunch question though, is that of interest to you? :sun:
<clever> it is, i'm starving
<clever> where are you at?
<tazjin> Ibis Blackfriars
<clever> ah same, i'm in the lobby
<clever> due to arriving at 8am, the room isnt available yet
<tazjin> cool, I'll be down in about 3-4 minutes, wearing a CCC hoodie & Goonswarm t-shirt (if either of those tell you anything)
<clever> i'll be waiting :)
<tazjin> I'm hovering around the entrance / reception desk
