So off I trotted to the post office to get it done.
And of course they need a photo.
I'm shocked!
They made me remove my face mask, in a shop, in public, just a for licence that'll only last 8 years!
It's as if the government thinks we'll be back to bare faces by then ...

I can't wait until I renew mine this year. I lost my right eye in a fall last autumn, and my state requires a vision test for license renewal. My peripheral vision on the right ends just a tad westward of my nose.

Funny thing about the chip-people: they don't seem to mind their smart-TV watching back at them.
Go figure?

Had to wear a mask for the first time during the pandemic, we are only 1600km from the nearest infection - Brisbane.

Haha. I know the feeling, but so far have never had to wear a mask for similar reasons. NZ

Something I was worried about may not be such a worry, after all[^].
Quote: Of note was the vaccine's efficacy in South Africa, where the B.1.351 variant originated. Among the more dominant strains globally, the B.1.351 has shown the most reduction in vaccine efficacies both in Phase 3 trials and in labs.
The Pfizer/BioNTech was 100% effective in preventing COVID-19 cases in South Africa, according to the companies.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement, "The high vaccine efficacy observed through up to six months following a second dose and against the variant prevalent in South Africa provides further confidence in our vaccine’s overall effectiveness.”
It had seemed, per various earlier reporting, that this wasn't going to be the ecase. Good luck to the Moderna test as the Mrs. had that vaccine.

That is fantastic news.
Wouldn't you hate to be an AstraZeneca at the moment. Those guys just can't get a break.
We, as software developers, need to educate them on how to reframe bugs as Design Features.

I had a discussion about that very issue today. They thought it was a bug but I explained that it was BBD : behavior by design.

I started my new job as a tailor this week – so far it's been sew-sew.

A tailor - I think it suits you. Seems like a good fit.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

All the tags on existing articles show as "undefined" - at least on the main page.
maybe this is the Great Tag Revamp of 2021 Chris was talking about?
Or is it an April Fool's thing? Is that a thing in Canada?

I wasn't trying to report anything because I'm sure everyone's seen it by now. I was trying to be silly, but I guess it flopped. Oh well.
