love this clip and have been playing it regularly for years ... for those interested, the colourful tunnel they move through later in the video is an underground patient transport tunnel running between St Vincents and the Eye and Ear Hospitals

a frame from the video "Get Smart" by the Melbourne Ska Orchestra showing a long, flourescent-lit corridor extending into the distance where there is a turn to the right. The floor is bare concrete, the walls are lined in beige metal panels but two sets of panels close to the camera are picked out in a burnt orange colour. The passage is a pedestrian access tunnel running between St Vincent’s Hospital and the Royal Eye and Ear Hospital and runs under Victoria Pde

B: lol.
A: and I'm like, "I am not gonna forward these anus-breathers to the high council."
B: lmfto. so what did you say?

... it would be nice if the columns in the "first preferences by vote type" sorted numerically properly ... seems to be an asciibetical sort up to the first comma in their numerical representation ...

screen grab from the AEC website showing voting preference detail for Kooyong, allegedly sorted low-to-high by "ordinary votes", however this is wrongly implemented

watching the sun set on the other side of the planet is pretty cool though ...

such a horrible pastiche of computerese ... IRC-like chat-log with weird half-Unix, half-Windows paths and Perl-inspired "code" ...

black-on-green text on an apparent CRT monitor. The text looks similar to an IRC chat-log with lines of Perl-like pseudocode ... I can't really describe it better than that, sorry ... there is overlaid yellow subtitle text "It was never proven"

Counterpart S02E01 - who knew the anonymous Management engine ran on Perl?

video still of green-on-black text on a CRT which reads "#!/usr/site/bin/perl -upload/link/disconnect" which ... makes absolutely no sense
