Train driver

I was traveling Europe by train a couple months ago and iirc, only one train were+10 min late (Amsterdam -> Brussels). The rest were one or two minutes and in Spain were on clock all of them. Pretty good experience all around.

The ones I took in Germany were Ok, 5 min late max. I really like that you don't need to show your tickets on the entrance of the trains and the ticket guy was really cool, there was a girl without ticket close to us and he told her that she needs a ticket and please go down the nest station and didn't made a fuss around that.

TIL the network utility "Ping" was written by a single person in an evening in 1983, and he named it after the sound a submarine sonar makes

This reminded me of a funny story in a party years ago. There was a Mac playing music on YouTube but after a couple of minutes the connection were lost and the music stop until someone clicked on something and the connection wake up and the music continue for a couple of more minutes just to go down again. I asked if I could try to fix it and the first thing I did was a ping, the first couple of packages got lost but then it connected and the music continued. Every couple of minutes some packages got lost but then it back again and the music didn't had any more problems for the night. The host of the party was all over me thanking me for saving the party and other people were asking me if I was a hacker or something.
