Ok so apparently the new system will be switched on at midnight Wednesday (or do you say midnight Tuesday?). Anyway come Wednesday you should be able to buy longer term passes again and use them to book tickets.

Discovery Pass and trainlink booking update (aussie.zone)

Trainlink is updating its booking site and maybe other stuff I don't know.

Anyway, I have a 6 month Discovery Pass that expires today I think. Despite the booking page not having 3 month or 6 month Discovery passes for sale I was able to use my current pass to book a return trip. The only differences are that the name of the concession (they call a pass a concession) is different (180 day premium pass etc) and there is an extra $5 charge for each trip. Apparently the 3 and 6 month passes will be available only by Thursday if you want to renew (buy) a pass. Maybe.

The journalists who published these articles had an opportunity to educate their readers by not spreading misinformation and by not misrepresenting Thunderbird's relationship to Mozilla.

The issue here isn't the disdain anyone has for Mozilla (although that might be yours). The issue is the misrepresentation of Thunderbird as a Mozilla project by news media.

Thunderbird is not a Mozilla project. It is independent of Mozilla including it's financing and has been for several years now.

My understanding is MZLA was set up so Thunderbird could accept donations and manage it's own finances independently of Mozilla. There have been no allegations anywhere that MZLA has been mismanaged.

These articles purport to be written by journalists though. Fact checking is meant to be a staple of the job description.

Thunderbird is funded by donations and operates under the MZLA banner.

These articles today are doing a disservice to the Thunderbird team who work independently of Mozilla afaik.

Was a nice day for whatever is going on here. More of them tried to get in on the action but moved on (or pehaps they were moved on). Another joined later on somewhere in the middle of the group. It's hard to describe and the video I shot isn't very clear. It joined the group from one end, moving it's legs (or interlinkinging them?) one and then two and then three and then four and then five and so on at a time. This include the one that was 'on top' having to do the same as the joiner shimmied it's way into the group.
