Every 5 years the government runs a mandatory census of the Australian population. This is the first year they've tried to do it online and it there was a lot of oversights. Mainly a lot of ads that say "Do Your Census the Night of August 9th!" so a lot of people thought they had to log in on the night of August 9th and do census. Not log in whenever you want and fill out the details of your household as it exists on August 9th.
The funniest part was that someone showed them the live tracking map that google produces that shows absolutely no DDoS attack activity that night. We basically DDoS'ed ourselves.
The ABS, for those non Australians, that's the government agency that collects this information, had partnered with IBM in order to do this census. Apparently, an employee from the ABS called one of the talk-back radio stations last week saying that he had overheard the IT team load testing the servers a couple of days before August 9th and they were saying that they weren't coping but still went ahead and now they're terrified about the fallout.

I'm calling peer pressure here. I don't even remember raising my hand on my own volition. I will be forwarding my therapy bills over the coming months to: @Nicola and @Lachlan.

Even if you don't play the game, you can appreciate this. All the animated shorts are good but this one hits you in the feels.

This has been me coding my system, every day, for the past forever.
This is how I'd imagine a forestal Knight trying to blend in for an ambush.
....my friends post the weirdest things on FB. Weirder than what I discover for myself, if you can believe.
