So eastern Australia is baking in 40C + weather and has been for a week and a bit... meanwhile on the west side, I'm in long pants and a jumper, we've had our years worth of rain in a week and I haven't seen the sun for several days due to cloud cover.
Bit different.
Also, Ali G was right. "West side is the best"
It was 80f yesterday, and snow is expected tonight.

I've been hearing about it for a couple of years. It seems... interesting. I've been keeping my eye on it.

The trick is to actually keep producing it. Skully helmets is a great example of why you shouldn't pre-order and/or support indiegogo/kickstarters.

Hi XXXXX,
I have read through the unformatted job description and it looks like a great fit for my background. XXX is not far from me, and since it is remote, when I do have to drive in, it wont be far.
I would like to hear more or be submitted on to the next phase.Thank You,
(Now go and format that job description and make it look presentable.) -
