  1. What happened to 's tram network back in the day? (When it was all ripped out??)

    This illustration, on display in historic Carrick Hill, Springfield of the land around Urbrae/Mitcham/Unley/Springfield just south of city of Adelaide, is pretty interesting.

    Clearly shows (and emphasises) four nearby tram terminus.

    > Mitcham Tram Terminus
    > Kingswood Tram Terminus
    > Fullarton Tram Terminus
    > Glen Osmond Tram Terminus

    Word was that a tram line ran up Glen Osmond Road and terminated near the bottom of the freeway, not far from the OTR/Hungry Jacks.

    And this was all built without the tech of today.

    Curious if anyone can date this further, but clearly this records a tram network that is now long forgotten.

  4. Public transport tram infrastructure in #Adelaide #SouthAustralia is abysmal.

    Our neighbouring big city of #Melbourne #Naarm has the most incredible tram system by comparison.

    When pressure came to remove the trams in Naarm, its recorded that Professional and friendly ticketeting staff on trams (and their strong union) were an important part of retaining the network as was a much earlier decision when Melbourne was first planned for major roads to be wide enough to 'be able to do a u-turn with a bullock cart".

    Across in Adelaide, which was established by the South Australia Corporation (you heard that right), trams didnt go so well.

    Aparently the tram network once established was somehow bought out by the largest Tire Manufactuer of the day and along with immense pressure applied by the car lobby, the tram tracks were ripped up.

    Anyone know more detail on what exactly happened to the tram network in SA?

    I'm wanting to look beyond car industry history that records that 'people just wanted to drive, so it was pulled out', which seems like an incomplete narrative to me. What folks just went oh well, rip my local tram out, no worries? What went down?

  9. Experimenting with how it shows if I share a Soundcloud link. What I want is for it to embed so folks can just press play, but I’m skepticsl this will work.

    Anyone have tips for tools that can support bands to promote their music here or on the fediverse more generally?

    Btw I love this mashup.

  10. I’m part of a small research lab and we’re discussing questions of open access publishing.

    Do you know of any research labs or groups that have made a public declaration around open access publishing (aka not engaging in closed access publishing)?

    I’d appreciate any links to these sorts of declarations / statements which I assume exist.

    Is there a way to specify the dns server up address that is then used for all wifi connections. Currently it seems these things are setup on a per wifi network basis. I wanna help grandma set and forget for example.

  14. RailsCamp in Australia is back!

    But with a whole new reboot, the camps will be called #RubyRetreat going forward, taking us closer to roots of our community as a community built around programmer happiness (and spreading those friendly vibes far and wide through the apps we build and the projects we support).

    On the train to Warrnambool now with a great group of friendly coders.

    Thx @rubyau organisers!

  15. I’m working to grow mastodon usage in my home town. Any suggestions on how I might best track how adoption is going?

    If our initiates are successful I won’t necessarily know everyone who joins nor on which instance (but it’s likely to be between a few). Any ideas?

  18. What is a Dispositif?
    #Concept

    In the philosophy of Michel Foucault, a dispositif or dispositive is any of the various institutional, physical, and administrative mechanisms and knowledge structures which enhance and maintain the exercise of power within the social body.

    The links between these elements are said to be heterogeneous (each different and not the same) since knowledge, practices, techniques, and institutions are established and reestablished in every age. It is through these links that power relations are structured.

  24. Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) makes Voice Referendum donations disclosures public on 1 April (Easter Monday) [1]

    Anyone know of open data projects that are processing AEC financial disclosure data into more usable/readable forms?

    I'm interested in what the new data will say on how the No campaign was funded.
