Long time, no update.

I’ve been a bit slack lately in updating this site - things have been VERY busy. Aviation wise, I’ve passed all but one CPL examination - Performance and Planning. DeviceUpdate has hit over 420,000 app downloads and going strong with very little overall load on the mirror system or indexing system. Radio wise, I’ve done a little bit of work on a new online scanner and it’s now up and running about 95%.

All in all, I’m still very busy, but I haven’t fallen off the end of the world yet ;)

Melbournes heat wave.

Most of the world probably doesn’t know about the heat wave that has hit Melbourne (and indeed the rest of Victoria) over the past few weeks. Every day was above 40 degrees C!

At one particular home in Victoria the temperature has been above 44 degrees all week and they are forecasting another week of 40+ temperatures. Power is failing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat . It’s just scorching. It seems that the people are not the only ones suffering.

Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened!
