The Times of Central Asia

Turkey’s leadership ambitions in Central Asia face significant resistance, with the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) functioning primarily as a platform for regional cooperation rather than a geopolitical bloc. timesca.com/turkeys-turkic-gam #TurkeysLeadership #CentralAsia #TurkicStates #OTS #InternationalRelations #RegionalCooperation #PoliticalAnalysis #CentralAsianPolitics

So, #OTS (One Touch Switching) should have been "read the spec", "write and test the code", "done".

Sadly the spec is so bad, and the "working with other CPs" is so, err, "fun", that it has turned out way more "open ended". Still daily calls. Still unresolved issues, and pending fixes from CPs.

The problem is my brain will not let me get on with other important stuff until OTS is "finished".

Arrrg!

OK I’m going to float an idea on here. It looks like we won’t be able to cancel a “broadband switch” from losing side. So won’t be able to do “anti slamming”. Shame.

But to switch using OTS you have to have a match on surname (using some fun, and vague, rules for accented characters).

So we could allow customers to set any surname on a line, and use as a sort of “password”.

After all, you can call yourself what you like, and we have to accept changes to personal information.

Slamming For a long time we have operated an anti-slamming option where you tell us in advance that you do not wish your broadband to be migrated to a new provider. You could then change that at any time. However, the new One Touch Switching system works differently. We will not longer be able to reject switching. However, to start switching the new provider needs an address and surname to match. They can start a switch process in BT without, but this is less likely as the normal process for consumers, and probably most businesses, will be One Touch Switching. Because the surname has to match, we now allow you to edit the contact name on each line you have with us. Your name is what you want it to be, so picking any name for any circumstance is your right, and we have to respect that and allow you to change your name under GDPR, even if only on that very specific part of our system - the contact name for a broadband service. If you change your surname, even if it is to PSIKHGJGEXC, then that is your choice. And any One Touch Switching match request would fall unless using the surname PSJKHGJGEXC. Obviously this is meant to be for your surname not really as a pseudo password, but, well, it is up to you.

Montrose Search and Rescue: "Today, our team responded to a vehicle over the side call on Angeles Forest Hwy at MM 19.36. The vehicle was about 300' over the side. By the time our unit arrived on scene, the patient had self-extricated and was on the roadway. The roadway was wet and slick. This weekend, we have had two other weather-related calls. One hiker was suffering from exposure in the snow and two cyclists needed to be rewarmed by us. When the weather is excessively cold, hot, windy, rainy, etc, please reconsider your plans to visit the wilderness. " #SearchAndRescue #SAR #OTS

Photo of a car WAY down a hill covered with low growing shrubs, skies are cloudy and overcast... very green hillside. Some cars are seen on a road high above.

When traveling, I like to take pics of warning signs. Here are three from La Selva Research Station in Costa Rica. The first says don't overload the suspension bridge (just 15!), plus cautions against swimming (because crocodiles). The second is about falling branches (always good advice). The final is to be on the lookout for fer-de-lances (Bothrops asper), a highly venomous pit viper. #travel #danger #safety #nature #CostaRica #LaSelva #ots

Sign near bridge that indicates 15 people is maximum capacity. Also, swim at your own risk because there are crocodiles.
Handmade sign near fallen branch that reads, "Branches falling." There's an illustration of a branch falling on a guy.
Dry erase board with the text, "Caution: three juvenile Terciopelos spotted very close to lab building (less than 1 meter). Possibly more around."
