Re: previous Q. OK, so the #floodlevy is for infrastructure rebuilding? Slightly more palatable as long as it really gets spent on that!

Thursday 27 January 2011

Disastrous as QLD floods were, those who are insured shouldn't need #floodlevy so who is it for? Those who didn't pay premiums? Hardly fair!

WTF is with this Android @rsebook app? Is it doing blocking I/O or something? Is it single threaded? Sure feels that way! @rsebook indeed!
