Tell us what you learnt today?

I learnt how to fix a niggling defect in the calculation of a member's "last visited" date ( joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker...racker_item_id=14451 ).

There's been a problem (you'll see what I mean if you go to the User Menu and click "List of users") where the date/time a member last visited the site is miscalculated by several hours. I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of months and, today, I discovered the answer! I'm therefore rather pleased that the calculaion will be properly carried out in future but, unfortunately, there's no way of fixing things up for those users who haven't logged-in to The Quoroom for a while. From today, after people login, the "last visited" date will be properly recorded

This may not seem a big issue to most people, but it's made me happier.

I have NEVER seen the council workers work so much IN MY LIFE

Trees pruned - grass cut -- they will be asking for a pay rise soon :huh:

How about offering them a five-minute segment on A Current Affair or Today/Tonight instead of a pay rise? They could call it "An hour in the life of a council worker"

More like An hour in the life of doing nothing...
I have been looking at the grass, trees on Council property the last couple of months thinking when are they gonna clean that up..
This week its been go go go for them -- they woulda worked up a sweat and they cant have that

Someone probably complained thats why they tended to it...

I learnt that today is




I didnt realise that we didnt have a Royal Commission for Ash Wednesday or any of the other fires -- the last one was Black Friday 1939 -- this time 70 years ago..

is this true??

There has been ALOT of changes since then...

Thats it -- I am never complaining about my Council again

They are working hard today on the Highway cutting trees back, there are quite a few about -- I might actually ring them and give them some good feedback.... : )

Its getting pretty windy round here, its like a dust storm -- I had to drive up to the Yarra Ranges today and not ONE is out there doing a thing -- the trees are all twiggy hanging over the highway - but noooo they do nothing..

Blame it on the wind if they fall....

ThankGod they arent my Council or I would be rattling their cages I can tell you..

Oooooo I've gone pink
Matches my picture and one of my fave colours too : )

why isnt their pink in our colour selection? Hmmm? ... lol

I have learned that no matter how early i go to bed, after a days gardening I am always tired in the morning...oh my weary bones....

Mind you the garden is looking gorgeous:)

The earlier one goes to bed, the earlier one wakes up. Grrr I fell asleep around 7.30pm last night and was wide awake at 3.30am. I am so glad I have a computer or I would be so bored lol.
