CharlieCard distribution

[xxv.livejournal.com]

Has anyone gotten a CharlieCard yet? I hear they were supposed to be handing them out to commuters today, but I didn't see anyone at Davis.

MBTA jargon note: CharlieCards are the RFID cards that you wave over the dark grey rectangles on the new turnstiles. CharlieTickets are the paper cards that jam the turnstiles. CharliePasses are the thin plastic cards (cleverly mislabeled "CharlieTicket") that they're deprecating.

Update: I think I made up the name "CharliePass", although I swear I saw it somewhere in the MBTA literature.
Update #2: Davis gets them starting tomorrow. Other stations get them at other times.

Off topic: As I can't find your contact info easily, you should contact me sometime regarding conlangs. People who know what they are are rare enough, let alone people who create them and are nearby :-)

This is pretty old and it's been a while since I actively played with it but you might find it interesting if that's your interest.

More "constructed languages", like Esperanto, Klingon, lojban, and rikchik.
