Yeah, so. . .

I have received complaints about my prolonged absence, to which I reply: "I've been busy" - six trips to Sydney, a trip to Bundaberg, QLD, and one to Canberra since the end of August. Apart from that, not much going on down under these days, as all things currently revolve around the upcoming election (which, based upon the respective policy platforms of the two parties, is proving to be a demonstration of convergent evolution in action).
