I've been told to work from home on Monday to keep testing out the new RDP solution instead of using the normal VDP solution.
You still have to login to VDP to then RDP to your physical desktop though. Took me longer to get in on a Saturday than Friday. I reckon I will be driving to work on Monday haha ![]() Also to take my iPad home but I can't code on that. I use my iPad for testing apps and having the Supercars on while at work ![]() |

A work colleague of my wife returned from Japan on Thursday, all she was asked when she landed in Australia was “ how many cigarettes do you have?”

They're just saying on TV now that it's spread ten times the size of infections in New York State in the past seven days with 8000 confirmed infected that they know of . By all means quickly trial the malaria drug but that's not going to wipe out the disease for a fair while even if hopefully it's pretty effective on current sick people. It's multiplying spreading as each day passes so all sorts of decisions not least by Trump's mob have to start happening right now. |

Well, never in my life have I ever had to get up at 6.30am in the morning to drive in the dark just to buy bog roll.
![]() And no, I'm not a hoarder. (My wife could not get any yesterday in our area, after going to 3 supermarkets, and even standing in a long queue for half an hour, after which an announcement was made there was none left). At 6.50a.m., I stood amongst 50 people outside the supermarket waiting for it to open its doors at 7.00am. Doors open, and everyone rushes to the same aisle. None on the shelves, "great!" I thought, then saw a woman with a roll in her hands... "Where did you get that?", I said. "Oh, you have to go to the back door, they are being handed out one per customer by the security guards". It's a crazy world at the moment. ![]() |

![]() Friend of mine lives in Florida, runs a health food cafe, terrified of the gun buying frenzy and resulting crime, unemployment is rumoured to hit 30%. We are lucky here. Please don’t get me wrong, I understand things are getting very bad for many, but at least we don’t fear getting shot. Trumpie be hoping he has a win with the medications and fast. |

Professor Williams, the dean of law at the University of New South Wales said the following; "Under section 109 of the constitution, if there is a conflict [between a federal and a state law] the federal law takes precedence". "So once you get into areas that are clearly subject to federal regulation you could only proceed at a state level if you have Commonwealth support and the Commonwealth essentially providing room for the state to charter its own course". So while it might be unconstitutional for a State Government to close its state borders, the commonwealth can over rule. The problem and conflict in closing state borders is because... "We have section 92 of the Australian constitution and it says trade, commerce and intercourse amongst the states shall be absolutely free." |

Your point is not proven. This is an actual incident, yours was one big swipe at multiculturalism.
If you have any problems with how this forum is moderated either send me a PM or message admin outlining your problem(s). Any further posts whinging will be deleted. EDIT: I also don't want to see any threads being bombarded with youtube/facebook links showing anyone bulk purchasing. |

Now i am no economist and dont claim to be, but lately ive heard a few very uneducated opinions. Pretty much dumb stuff like people saying the government should give people money and not worry about the economy. Thats not how it works. After the last gfc, it took a long time for my work to pick up. No companies wanted to spend money. How did that affect me as an employee? Simple, reduced work coming in means less overtime. At the moment with so many of my clients working from home, i have not a huge amount to do. So i can sence it taking a long time to recover from this.

This will be the biggest challenge of all after the critical virus threat has settled. Any small re outbreak in the months and years to come is likely to unsettle and undo any economic repair that was done not to mention the possibility of mutations which would render useless any testing and vaccine work currently validated.
Common sense is also being tested here and that’s also a concern as not everyone is adopting the same sense of responsibility. Human and cultural nature really is an interesting differentiator during these times. I just hope we all come out the other end of this somewhat wiser and with a better appreciation and a much higher weighting of the simple qualities of life v the material quantities of life....

A conservative Government committing 10% of GDP and doubling welfare with the stroke of a pen is unprecedented, if that's not enough to open the eyes of even the most ignorant/defiant to the impact that this will have on so many facets of society then I don't know what would be.

As a part time milk delivery driver, the average bogan dole bludger is now going to earn more money sitting on the couch, bong an beer in hand, than I make going to work and taking all the risk.
The average 2 child family on unemployment now will have more money coming in AND get all the benefits, than me the missus and 2 teenagers, and she's a health care coordinator dealing with in home aged care, so and we're basically essential services. ![]() Ya got to laugh about it or you'd cry...

Thankfully we've lived off her wages alone for the past 2yrs and have used mine to pay off debt and save so we have a bit of a buffer we can lean on but it'll only stretch so far. |
