@ViewFromTheQ checking in with another update from the Wimbledon queue 🙂

@ViewFromTheQ quick Sunday 3:30pm update from the Wimbledon queue.

Currently 769 tents in place.

The stewards are giving our tickets at the moment.

Estimated 1,220 people here.

@spiceblackford @ViewFromTheQ Sorry, we missed it last year ☹️ It does feel busier than two years back. Similar numbers now to what there was at 5:30pm on the equivalent day two years ago

@ViewFromTheQ Wimbledon Queue update Sunday 11am: 429 tents setup now, half of row three is full.

And more importantly, the ice cream van has just arrived!

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@SenseiPhil2 @ViewFromTheQ People count was only a rough estimate. There are quite a few one man tents, but also some larger tents that look like they're for more than 2 people (even if not officially allowed), and some empty spaces where people had not yet put up their tents.

@ViewFromTheQ Wimbledon Queue Update (Sunday 8:0am): 248 tents, and therefore approximately 500 people

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@ViewFromTheQ Wimbledon Queue Update Sunday 9:30am: 307 tents (approx 600 people)

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@HT89130448 @CGiovannini @ViewFromTheQ Just counted again now - 307 tents

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@CGiovannini @ViewFromTheQ No queue cards yet, but the queue is very organised. I assume they'll bring them around later

@JoshuaMWilkes Can you at least bring back some solid nitrogen souvenirs?

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@NathanpmYoung Only just seen this 😂 You captured my fleeting appearance

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@NathanpmYoung That feels like a long time ago indeed!

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@NathanpmYoung @DylanJo50356298 Should a community so focussed on forecasting not seek to have a clear & accurate understanding of its past impact? How are future efforts correctly prioritised if past impact is not well understood?

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@NathanpmYoung You don't just want to replace one story retail. You'd convert the palace of Westminster into a grey tower block given the chance

[Jamie Holmes @jamiecholmes]

@NathanpmYoung Three so far:
1. I told you we'd need to move all your junk before we started
2. No, /all/ the stuff
3. No really, including that massive pile of junk in the corner

Escape room record and free prosecco!

@dancres The broader impacts on the power grid are fascinating too. Usings EVs as a network of distributed energy storage to smooth out the supply from renewables (solar, wind)

@BigBeardyGeek @aspender Thanks Mike - it has been awesome working with you! Definitely stay in touch in the future, looking forward to hearing how you get on at gousto. We'll let you know when the Fineapple is on the shelves ;)

@NathanpmYoung There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.
