Calming soothing purring noises ๐Ÿ™‚

Todayโ€™s challenge: can I prototype a music-making or -controlling thing that uses rail data, in the amount of time the Eurostar takes to go from London to Belgium? ๐Ÿš…

I call it Bruxelles-MIDI.

This may be a terrible pun but Iโ€™ve had the idea for ages, and maybe the time limit will help me actually start it.

so by accident seem to have found when ICE3Neo's are set to replace the 3M's on the Brussels ICE route

booking one for July and saw the seat plan was diffrent so working my way back seems to switch on the 14th of June

Why even write an article if you can't even say WHAT the proposed solution is?

Either say or if you don't know then don't write an article about it

Solution in sight for London-Amsterdam Eurostar train services - DutchNews.nl

Direct train services between Amsterdam and London will be able to continue for most of the period when platforms are closed because of major engineering works, the AD reported on Friday.  A Swiss engineering company has come up with a solution which means the route will not be shut down for up to 11 months from next year, Eurostar chief executive Gwendoline Cazenave told the paper. The solution is currently being worked on, sources within both the NS and infrastructure...

I'd especially like to hear from you - there are #CrossBorderRail events in all these places!

This elderly cat Josette was left behind by the previous owners of the old house we bought in Raviรจres. Neighbours fed her for a decade and she fended for herself.

But now every evening without fail she sits purring on my lap for a good thirty minutes. Iโ€™m glad weโ€™re giving this cat better later years of her life!

Hooray, the Dutch government has its own place in the #fediverse on Mastodon ๐ŸŽ‰!
A promising combo: public organisations and a platform from and for everyone based on #openstandards ๐ŸŒ.
It feels like coming home to us ๐Ÿก!
Congratulations also to StasBZK @avhuffelen, @belastingdienst and @minbzk.
Together with other #fediverse users, let's make it something beautiful step by step ๐Ÿš€!
New rule: anyone in the UK arguing non-ironically that access to #Threads is a #Brexit benefit is henceforth to be catapulted into the North Sea.
Instagram Threads vs Mastodon. Looks like an easy choice.
