Actually, it was the U1 at Reumannplatz. My own photo. @ECIR2015: “That pic looks like Vienna U3 underground line at Westbahnhof”.
@FXPALResearch Oh, yes. after like 7-8 attempts, I did. And I bought the ticket.. and it still hasn’t arrived. So I have to call again. :-(
Still trying to buy 2 tickets from #ticketmaster. They currently have me in “Section GA, Row GA2, Seats 88”. Huh? Need to talk to a human.
Hey #ticketmaster, it has been four days since I started trying to buy a ticket from you. Are you going to answer the phone or not? #fail

Execs want fully formed Music IR product, not an iterated beta. I’ve said for a decade that music is different. theverge.com/2014/4/4/558345…
Could eDiscovery create test collections in the same way that the MusicIR community has? Challenges are similar: bit.ly/1kgxK3j
Google’s early motto was “democracy on the web works”. However, isn’t modern democracy (voting) anonymous? zdnet.com/forced-google-plus…
When it comes to advertising, is there any promise / ideal from its pre-IPO days that has not been broken? cnet.co/1aaNIIC
Bah! :-) “@dtunkelang: @jerepick Completely agree with you there. I know, I'm no fun.”
