I could give you the same advice you gave me - don't have a cow, man.

It's the same advice I got from A.W and Exo every time I agitated to keep the Brisbane meetup on the front page.

Just sit back and cruise - nobody cares, it's the internet. You're the first person to notice in a week, anyway.

We haven't had the keys to the front page ever since the site went down...we just had to keep nagging Anthony and as you can imagine he has been a very busy man later (or maybe or just sabotaging our meet due to the newly created turf war)

At least the weather gods seem to have smiled upon us!

There are two possible reasons:

1. I hate QLD
2. I've been busy/there's other more important posts

Take your pick

Now that you mention it, it's all decryption's fault. 22,000 members, meetups, Apple Store openings, Apple itself - I blame decryption, bless 'im

I pick #1.
Even though we live here we all secretly hate it
I mean seriously, traffic, health, flooding, continuing water restrictions and some English dude winning the best job in the world! (and evil Wallabys of Satan that jump infront of my car and cause way more damage than their little bodies would have you expect)

See you guys at the next one.

I'm not going to trust Translink during this weather.

Have fun.

It is a little overcast. I haven't seen anything about bad weather yet Ben. What is happening on the Sunny Coast? Dragons again?

1.
Click the image to open in full size.

2. Translink have failed me all too often.

3. It takes me too long to get there and too long to get back.

4. I don't have a car and would have to get picked up at the train station... or spend $40 to get home afterward.

5. Sunshine Coast sucks for public transport.

6. *whine*

7. Twitter / Natalie Perkins : Whoa it's bucketing down.

8. Twitter / Brady Clarke: Aw FUCK, rain. Not great c ...

Being the huge Simpsons fan that I am I can totally see me saying that.
