Someone on twitter (possibly Laurel Papworth, but I forget) had a link that showed a *decline* in car theft since GTA was released.

Of course this isn't causal at all either, but it'd be fun to wave at people.

in Australian Government fails again on Internet Censorship on duncanriley.com
Tasmania is a good testing environment because:

a) less infrastructure means less $ spent (and potentially lost if you cock up)
b) I don't know if this is still true, but at one stage Tasmania's population was almost a perfect demographic spread to match the nation at large.

As some examples, KFC trialled combined KFC/A&W stores there, which failed, and the Commonwealth Bank piloted its CommSee CRM in the Tasmanian branches and call centres.

Those are superb.

If you go bookshopping be sure to get a hold of a book (any book) with photos by Peter Dombrovskis; they're sublime.

BTW it's Salamanca Market, not a 'Farmers Market' (if anything it's more of a craft market), and Sullivans Cove or Macquarie Wharf, not 'Hobart Harbour'.

Hi Leo,

I figure you've all already heard about shooting the devils and going to Port Arthur and rah rah rah. Here are some cool things to do/shoot in Hobart that *aren't* touristy:

- The suburb of Glebe is full of cool old houses. I have heard that of the few existing examples of that style/period of architecture, the best are some of the hilly bits of San Francisco that you see in all the movies, and Glebe.

- If ooky spooky gravestones are your thing check out the cemetery at Cornelian Bay (and then look at the yummy Cornelian Bay boathouse)

- North Hobart, for yummy awesome good food and tops coffee.

- See some local bands. The Fringe Festival is on now and there's a great show Saturday at the Alley Cat, North Hobart.

Have a great time. :) I miss Hobart a lot and I'm so glad you're loving it.

Keep it simple, stupid.

in Technology Bloggers, what are they good for? on Scobleizer
And if there is a "the" A-list, I don't think it's composed solely of *your* reading preferences.

"Out of all those feeds Google Reader keeps track of the top 35 feeds. This is the new A list and DARE IS ON IT. See, he better watch attacking the A list tech bloggers because he now is one."

Huh? This is *your* new A-list.

I don't believe there is such a thing as *the* A-list.

They might want more than $50, then ;)

Most apps that have been developed like this have been smacked down because to do so violates the Facebook terms of use. The most recent one I know of was

Holy crap, that's a top job.

Not to be an ungrateful hag, cause it took me about three seconds to fix, but the resultant file had this at the end (html stripped):

Warning: Missing argument 1 for wp_die() in /(path removed)wp-includes/functions.php on line 2447

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /(path removed)/wp-content/plugins/wp-xmlmigrate.php:59) in /(path removed)/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2448


...followed by some HTML for a mostly blank page. Eep!

Drop the lot into a post and go. Don't edit! Just do! Think of it as an experiment in raw materials. You'll feel better once it's empty. ;)
