Re: [tei-council] Who's staying at Mama Shelter?

Is *that* the way it works! I imagined that the Mac display was simply a Mac display w/o computer. And didn't know about the keyboard availability. Thx. pfs On Sat, Oct 24, 2015, at 16:03, Lou Burnard wrote:

Over here in the hotel tres posh, we have our own personal macintosh computer installed in each room, hem hem.

The only drawback is that the keyboard they provide (on demand from reception) is rubbish

I've had my credit card declined twice, once by the metro machine and once in a restaurant, but Cath's identical card on the same account (but different number) worked on the metro machine, and mine subsequently worked in a bank machine.

I also discovered something newly annoying: the wifi in my apartment is something called freebox, which b roadcasts on channels 12 and 13. Those are illegal in north America, I gather -- we go only up to 11 -- and if you've installed your Ubuntu in north America and admitted you live there during the process, it apparently disables the use of those channels in a way which is difficult (I've found it impossible so far) to reverse. So I'm connecting my laptop through my Nexus 5 -- which works incredibly well, thankfully.

Cheers, Martin

Only just now cranked up the computer and connected to Mama's wifi. We tend to run more in the 3-5-Euro range for dinner ourselves (i.e. sandwiches grabbed from a sandwich shop or market), which is what we did en route to an orienting walk across the river and up and down the commercial strip over there (rue Victor Hugo and that lot, from the busking bands at the north end to the open market at the south end). After, that is, an essential hour's nap after 28 sleepless travel hours, a delayed flight and tight connection at Paris/CDG, and several frustrating minutes figuring out how to buy a Metro ticket out of a machine (which says only that it is good on buses and never mentions the Metro...)

Thx for the clock reminder. The U.S. does its time change on 1 Nov. A pox on both their houses.

[* I did, however, feel inordinately pleased to have on hand a credit card that would actually work in a French chip-and-pin billeterie. At last check, there is only one U.S.-available credit card fully compatible with European card standards, and it takes about six months and much hoop-jumping to acquire one.]

Doesn't look that far away, but depends on which end of the street you're at.

There's what looks like a nice resto not too far from you (or me) : lepetitcarron-restaurant.com (48 ave felix faure) http://www.lepetitcarron-restaurant.com/

Their "timeless" menu offers a choice of good things for delicate tummies at only 30 euro. Or you have the traditional Lyonnaise lard menu at 23.50

And I think they offer jazz, which is probably an improvement on the Mama which is offering some flavour of acidhouse dj tonight.

Shall I ring and see if we can get a table ce soir for 4 about 8 pm? (that would give Hugh and me a chance to walk up there)

I'm up for dinner if it's not too late and it's not too far away. I'm staying in an apartment on Léon Jouhaux up in the 3rd arr. I've been feeling a bit rough today so I stayed in. I want to be cautious on the food front. Did you have anywhere in mind?

Quick reminder to everyone: the clocks go back tonight. :-)

Cheers, Martin

I might be, if I ever get out of Heathrow. Probably won't be in until 7:00.
