Such a good show.


Longterm AU resident, used to watch. It got "meh" -they fall back on tropes.

I blog I just started / neglected. Will one day be about my plant collection and care.

Astro on GH pages.


This is so cool.


Basically every spreadsheet I built working at an investment bank during the GFC.


First time I've heard about requestAnimationFrame. Very cool.


Putting this here after reading the title.

One of the only aussie shows I actually watch!


Out of curiosity, at what age do you think it stops being "ok" to stay at hostels?


Depends. Some hostels have strict age limits. Most are a bit wary of older looking travelers but I've definitely run into over 40-ish people in them. OP is going to be fine. Not to mention, most hostels have a rooms you can rent and in a lot of places, like Asia, you'll end up with your private room for cheap anyway in many places (Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, in my experience).


30+


On the 'Weather in Sydney' page: "The warmest time of year is generally mid-January where highs are regularly around 61.9°F (16.6°C) with temperatures rarely dropping below 50.3°F (10.2°C) at night"

I think something is off here. That sounds like our winter weather! I would guess our average summer temp would be closer to 30deg C


Likewise Perth has the same error. "The warmest time of year is generally mid-February where highs are regularly around 63.7°F (17.6°C)". The text in Overall Perth Travel Experience by Season is also wrong.

I like the concept though.


"The best times to visit Australia for ideal weather are January 1st to December 30th"

Another interesting tidbit.


Little-known fact: December 31 is "Stabbing Day" in Australia.


"The cull", aka death from alcohol poisoning on NYE.


I'm also a noob. To hack together a quick app to hit a few of the instagram endpoints I went with flask. In my case, it was just a matter of writing a few annotated methods, and plugging in some template files and I was up and running in a few hours!

I'm now looking at SQL alchemy and thinking I might try to taking another look at Django...
