    Will have to wait till the lockdown is lifted on both sides. Should be able to push the price up a bit if the virus takes off like they are anticipating in the States.

    There'll be a huge market for cheap(free) labour in the USA. You could be the Elon Musk of Slavery. Merchandising opportunity I think! You should get some t-shirts made, by slaves obviously!<laugh>

    Jesus, how the hell do you make it from 7.30am to 9:45am without coffee? My days now are pretty much the same as they normally are as I work from home 80%+ of the time anyways.

    Darn it i was holding off explaining it but I miss it so much i thought what the hell, i'll try and keep it simple though.

    So you have a paper map in your hand with little sticky dots on it which you have strategically placed at various watering establishments around the city of newcastle which you like to frequent. You decide that you would like to share this information with one of your friends who is coming to stay with you from Bristol for arguments sake. So now in this modern digital age of electronic wizardry and gadetry, there are a plethora of software applications that will allow you to click on a map, record a location and some information (we call that metadata) about that particular location, i.e this is chippy's local etc etc. This information is stored in a database which can then be shared with your friend.

    If you've ever shared your location from your phone with a friend or relative and sent it to them in a text message, it's basically the same as that. You've captured a location and some information (i.e. i'm here, get your arse in gear it's your round) and you've shared it with someone who's able to see it on a map, its a basic form of digitising.

    A lot of companies have old maps with data on which they wish to "digitise" to make electronic for various reasons, I spent a large amount of my time in Australia doing this very thing for the water company I worked for, capturing and updating all of their pipeline and asset data as points (fire hydrants for example), lines (water and sewer mains) and polygons (treatment plants, property (parcel) boundaries).

    Does that help?

    Think that would be a bit too advanced for Liam and HDQ. I was just getting them to get the data from hard copy reports ready for you to the spatial database work! Your skills are much more sought after out here.

    I brought the coffee machine home from the office, the coffee boy happens to be related to one of our maids so lives in the house. So he is actually working from home making my coffee. He makes a mean cappucino as well.

    Everybody else will be. Can't believe home in Jakarta is any different to home in Newcastle.

    I find Pierce to be a bit like Greta where by what he says is usually a reasonable thought process but the way he puts it across is just cringe worthy - another absolute Thundercunt

    Pretty hard to do when you are meant to keep 2m apart.
