Used the Myway+ QR code in the app to tap on a buss today. First it tried to get me to use a credit card despite sliding in from the bottom of the ticket machine. Then it wouldn’t let me tap off.

The bus driver said I didn’t need to tap off with the QR code. This contradicts the Myway+ instructions.

Anyway, the Myway+ app is a poorly thought out design which is a horrible user experience.

Me thinking about the #ACT #election: the “it’s time factor” alone will probably swing the #Barr #Labor #government out of power, but it’s okay, our #Liberals are sensible centrists and at least we don’t have that #insane #extremist faction in our politics (like in the States) that attacks the #media

There is a street called Enderby in this city, and my brain keeps reading it as Enby Street, and I quite like that thought. #canberra #cbr

Today's stunning #GoldenHour

#Auspol #CBR Well done, ACT. It has taken 25 years to achieve this because Federal Parliament overrode the choice of the ACT people.
Thanks and congratulations to all Labor and Greens in the Legislative Assembly who never gave up.
My particular thanks to Tara Cheyne.

#Introduction

Hi everyone! It's ALTA here - the Australasian Language Technology Association.

We run an @aclmeeting - aligned workshop in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand every year, focused on #nlp #NaturalLanguageProcessing.
