Slasher Alley does not sound like a place to visit. Especially after dark.

New comment times should now reflect Melbourne time/date. Hooray.

Note it is July fourth here. Unfortunately fireworks are illegal .

The post times are not correct I guess. They should probably be relevant to each of us, as opposed to melbourne time.

The Australian exchange rate might not look that bad from a US perspective, but a few years ago a US dollar could get you nearly $1.50 AUD. Now it barely gets you 1AUD after the exchange fee .

Yes, I’d noticed the Melbourne time and weather information, too. That’s very helpful. And now I see the exchange rate for the American $. That would be helpful for anyone traveling to Australia. It’s also good information even for those of us who aren’t traveling. The exchange rate is better than in many countries.

Hmmmm, why does my post say 9:05 p.m. when the Melbourne time says 5:44 p.m.??? Also, how’s 11C/52F degrees feeling down there?

How fun! I noticed the Melbourne time and weather right away! Great new photos! Even though the cars are funky, they and the art behind them make for a fun photo taken with a great eye for color and composition. Great to hear about your work and that it’s so gratifying. Very, very cool. I’ve never used Lonely Planet guides, but I’ve heard for a long time that they have a great reputation. Way to go! And on the Drupal stuff and learning so much! Just awesome, awesome, awesome. Up ridiculously late here. Jon can fill you in on why. XOXOX

Yes their primary focus is publishing travel guides. I think they are the top world publisher of that sort of thing.

Both photos are nice. The tall cranes and stacks of box cars are something we don’t see in the midwest. The cars are neat, too. I checked on Lonely Planet and discovered they main focus is to provide all types of travel information. I’m glad you’re enjoying the work and learning so much.
