Was at a rather plush IT jolly in london this week, in County Hall looking over at parliament. Got taken to https://www.thened.com/for lunch, then out on the lash after. Seems that GDPR and IT training in general are licences for snake oil salesmen in suits to charge astronomical daily rates. Signed up for my seat on the gravy train v quickly indeed.

GDPR seems like it could blow up alright.

We seem to have hired a serial thanker. No matter what anyone emails he'll reply-all 'thanks for this, very helpful' or some other such inanity. Just looking here at a 13 email string I've had with him where four of his emails are just saying thanks. Thats a massive abuse of email norms.

Good manners costs nothing.

Yeah it's not quite Y2K level of stupidity, but lots of people seem to have no clue what it actually means for their business. I'm sure there's tons of scope for wildly exaggerating the requirements. There's definitely gonna be plenty of work in here for next year. Have already confirmed we'll have to write obfuscation scripts for a few different databases. Standard practice when making a test environment was to just make a copy of production , so no doubt there will be plenty more to come.

I think I mentioned before that years ago I was asked by someone in HR how many business cards I needed printing and I replied 20/25 thinking I'd probably give out maybe 1 a month to customer on-site.
A few weeks later 25 boxes of the bloody things landed on my desk.

I'll take a box

[NuckChorris]

Always get business cards from bank people first time we meet or and tax/pension advisors etc. Don't get too much use of out them but they do come in handy when you can't remember someone's name a few hours after meeting them. Seems standard practice and would probably seem odd if they didn't have one.

Those cards look quite cool P+F. Although I've never managed to work out what to do with a QR code.

Don't worry your smart phone does. It's like a barcode but holds more data.

I am surprised you haven't seen them in marketing campaigns in magazines ads etc Use the red laser app to read them point camera at code.

we design lots of those for people..you would be surprised at the amounts of small businesses that wouldn't even remember to put their corporate logo on the card unless you told them to.

business cards with a foiled qr code are the newest thing..go for gold

SPOILER

SPOILER

Out a qr code on that you can swipe when people come on to you ...makes them think it does something or something is happening. Or you can actually store info on a client account ...it's what you say to the person you are selling the card to.

We're doing the design ourselves. Looking for a slightly different sizes option than the usual credit card. Our logo is gold, so there will be gold foil actually.
But not a snowballs I'd put a QR code on it. The absolutely hack of them.

[Denny Crane]

Nobody uses QR codes in this part of the world. The fact that you have to download a separate app to use it, instead of it being part of the camera shows how necessary it is.

Although, think it's different in China, there you can donate to homeless people from the QR code on their sign.

If not, download AcePlayer and look for an ace stream on reddit. Has never failed me for any game. Just click into the match thread and an ace stream link will be there

Not sure, commentators had to apologise a few times "These aren't our pictures today, we're not in charge of what gets shown".

He's out for the season I'd say.

Standard enough on French TV. They like to show the pain/drama stuff. Ref had a mare. Not helped by the officiating team either.

Not playing particularly well either. The chiefs will stretch Leinster more but hopefully a few lads back and the defence will have improved by then. Another 10 or 11 points for a home quarter.

As I say every year you win nothing in Sept/Oct but you can lose the season. The only ones looking very good are Saracen but their key players will have a lot of games played by the time the semis and final roll around. Interesting challenge for McCall to have them right for May.

i know its munster at thomand and what not but racing92 at 11/4 is enough to tempt me in to back them. the weather could be an issue though could be a bunch of poofs

It feels like Munster have enough here to win by 10+ but execution has been really poor

On another note the influx of drool on my Facebook feed would suggest United or Liverpool lost today - possibly both

Before you play each mission check for errata. it was translated from Italian and sometimes they messed something up or left something out. https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/1...-unofficial-er

Mission 3 stands out at the worst offender but a lot of them are fine.

"The Mystified Murderess" is one of the weaker cases in the English edition of Ystari version of "Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective". The reason is that the authors changed the guilty person from the original case to someone else, but forgot to fix all the entries in the English case book. This file contains updates to two of the entries of the case book, that are a direct translation of the Italian version of the game (originally posted in the SHCD forum on BGG). These updates should make this case better playable.

There are full pdfs of case 3 and 6 fixed online also. Most missions are fine I think. Enjoy!

Keatley is awful we just need to soend money on a decent 10

[ComradeCollie]

Planning to see it in the Lighthouse this afternoon, though worried I overhyped it to myself

Not sure what to make of that at all. Was really only getting in to it after about 90 mins, and then it was over. Kinda felt like a pilot for a tv show that isn't going to happen. Pretty good turnout, cinema about 40% full on a wet Saturday afternoon. A wide mix of punter too, from about a 11 year old to many in their 70's.

Think it's the last time I will ever go to a cinema though. Not being able to control sound level (I found it annoyingly loud) really is the deal breaker for me.

[Guest]

We Athboy ace 👍. Second row is weak centers not great up to there balls in debt the club. Watching the semi last year and Blyebdaal was poor especially his kicking to touch. It’s a decent start for Munster though.
