I'm Australian
It’s done. Said the pledge, met the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, and got my plant. I’m an Aussie.
But still Scottish.
I’m Scossie.
Since 2010

Not as many Pixar movies in there as I initially though there would be, but I reckon Finding Nemo and The Incredibles would be somewhere in 11-15.
There are also a few fairly recent movies (Inside Out, Gravity, and Big Hero 6) which nearly made it, but I think I’ll wait and see how they mature.
I love living in a country which declares public holidays for sporting events!
I, Philip Dalidakis, Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade, and Minister responsible for administering the Public Holidays Act 1993, appoint under section 7(1)(a) of the Public Holidays Act 1993 –
- Easter Sunday; and
- the Friday before the Australian Football League Grand Final,
as public holidays in Victoria.

The support shows how much people still admire Concorde and want to see it flying again.
We’ve established that my last post had been on my to-do list for a while, but the thing that finally got me to pull my finger out and write it was the desire to remark on this comment on a Google Chrome issue.
The issue in question was regarding the addition of a new thingy to Google Chrome which some people were getting pretty upset about. The details don’t matter (although it was one of the things that made me question my dependence on Chrome), but the comments on the issue quickly descend into dozens and dozens of variations of “Chrome developers suck because they won’t do what I want”.
Now read the last comment by pkasting. I dream of being able to respond to similar conversations I have in my own professional life as calmly and succinctly as this. Emotions have been kept out of the response, each point is addressed, and advice is given to users on how they should proceed with their queries and concerns. Fine work Chromium stranger!
PS Google Chrome has over a billion users?! Wow.
