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.

The full body scanner nudity has been censored, which is mental.

Apparently a misunderstanding and it will be patched back in

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.

Yes there will be words. Many words. Mostly due to drinking Trooper's skittle vodka. And dogging.

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.

Interestingly my client's accident was shown on TV. I can't really give out deets but I'm seeing whether he'll agree to do some press on it and see if I can get some local interest for my firm.

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.
