In relation to that 11 hour break thing, I'm pretty sure that only applies to regularly scheduled shifts, not interruptions to a break while you're on call.

But even so, that guy sounds like a dick. Don't be a dick.

Just talked to Apple. The initial rejection for porn was a misunderstanding on their part. They suggested I resubmit with the nudity option.

I'll make an update to restore the nudity over the weekend (default to off) and it should be available next week.

I'm slightly sceptical these are real precisely because they're so awesome: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=57740

The summary of that link is that March's theme for DC comics covers is a riff on older movies and the results are fucking brilliant. There's an extra dimension to them if you follow the comics in question of course but even if you don't the artwork is amazing.

I don't often go into Sydney any more, but I was there yesterday for work. I'd dropped father-in-law (visiting from the UK) off to have a wander round the city while I was busy so there was a moment of concern there.
