@SW_Help Hmm - Disruption is better than cancelled and "Do Not Travel" status. While there is a pinch point, it still has quite a few platforms that could be used (contingency planning).

@DanielJBolton Hi Daniel, due to Clapham Junction having fewer platforms than London Waterloo, this would still cause disruption due to trains not having a platform to use. Please accept our sincere apologies for the disruption today. ^LB

@ContactKingston No notification my parking permit was about to (or had - 11 days ago) expired. No notification that you have changed the platform and error on payment (saying it was unable to transact and yet money has left my account) Not impressed!

After a shocking day of Not getting to work (the office anyway) thanks to @SW_Help Another train cancelled this morning.

This country is so so so so bad at dealing with rain which is ironic really given we're famous for it! @TfL set the bar the lowest though!

@RealEmirHan True Romance - When Clifford Worley (Denis Hopper) realises his fate but takes it like a boss!

What's the best moment where a character REALIZES something? I’ll start:

@RBKingston, really disappointing that local (as in next to the Fairfield local) residents didn't get free tickets to the Taste of the Caribbean Food and Drink Festival like we did last year! Bitter taste after being supportive of local events being hosted there.

@reillyusa Genuinely a conversation over a drink is needed for this one :) but for now I'll give the IT version of pleading the 5th - "it depends".

What’s stopping serious adoption of Linux as a desktop OS?

Ok - impressed with @Spotify's support team. Resolved my request/issue within minutes of logging! 10/10! Good support is good support and should be called out!

@WilliamGBush Thanks mate - looking forward to catching up :)

@DanielJBolton Best of luck for the future mate, they will struggle to replace you and you will be a huge asset to your new firm

After ~26 years at Kingston Uni it's time for a new adventure (finish early July). Details of my next move closer to the time however, we're advertising for my replacement & it's a great opportunity to lead, serve and work with my three fantastic team(s): crimson.co.uk/it-vacancies/h…

So VMC on AWS is no more? thats a headache! (well justification to speed up native migrations).

@rspruijt I think there is space for TANIUM in there though :)

@DanielJBolton Thanks!

LOL - nothing else going on in World then? I fully expected her to hide in a bunker for the rest of her life after this unbelievable outrage! 😂

Using AI as a force for good:

media.kkr.com/news-details/?… KKR to Acquire EUC from VMware/Broadcom

@blahnetwork911 As ever, all depends on a great many things :)

@DanielJBolton Way cheaper for us with VVF than cloud.

That moment when you realise the cloud is actually cheaper than Broadcom's VMware renewal for on-premises licenses!

@SeniorAlmaraz @xenappblog Agree - there are options - IE VMC in AWS (price is the same) to keep the same/similar hypervisor stack.

@DanielJBolton @xenappblog a moment for Xenserver to shine? I think enterprises will struggle to pivot their hypervisor management stack.
