Greetings from Australia, gophernauts!

With the obvious exception of the terrible reason that I'm here in
the first place, I have to say that being back Down Under and seeing
family again is quite pleasant.  My inexplicable desire to
exhaustively document the namespace of suburban Australian chicken
shops[1] is flaring up again (I had lunch at Chicken Bar yesterday).

Some quick comments on recent occurrences in gopherspace:

* Snowdusk has returned to the phlogosphere[2], which makes me very
happy - he is one of my favourite SDFers.

* Greetings to new circumlunar.space resident sel20[3]! The
Zaibatsu's latest sundog will be exploring the classic cyberpunk
anime series "Serial Experiments: Lain".  I'm looking forward to it,
as the show is very nostalgic for me.  I discovered it shortly after
I started university and met other anime nerds for the first time.
I am long overdue for a rewatch.

* tfurrows comments that using his reel mower draws unwanted
attention from onlookers[4]. If Missouri doesn't work out, he may
consider moving to New Zealand!  Reel mowers are actually relatively
common there - one of the many ways in  which NZ feels oddly stuck in
the past.

* Congratulations to Cat on the launch of the *brilliantly* named
baud.baby[5]!  I am also right behind Tomasino[6] in applauding the
wonderful geekery of Cat's collection of old Australian touchfones. I
grew up with the phones he's talking about, although as a "filthy
casual", never gaving a second thought to the various models and
their capabilties.

* Not something which has happened recently, but rather which I have
only recently noticed - christyotwisty has listed[7] one thing she
loves for every  year she has lived. I like this idea a lot, and will
have a go at my own list sometime soon.
