@JonGretar @waeiski sorry.... meant EndNote!
@waeiski My university still primarily recommends *EndNote to students, though they mention Zotero now too. Glad I dodged that and got Zotero.
I've been a bit quiet here lately so general life update: recently moved to France where I'm aiming to finish my thesis, have a baby, and find a postdoc, hopefully in that order.
Here enjoying the European luxury: trains with power points! on the way to Brittany to visit some of my French in-laws.

The first pre-release of GeoPandas 1.0 is out! 🎉
Please help us test the alpha version to catch all the nasty bugs that may be there. You can install it from PyPI using `pip install geopandas --pre -U`. To get an idea about the changes, you can check the changelog - https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/releases/tag/v1.0.0-alpha1 or a blogpost by @martinfleis - https://martinfleischmann.net/geopandas-1.0-is-coming.-what-will-change/. All the API changes are (hopefully) included and further pre-releases shall not change any behavior. It is time to test now!
"The moves must appear in the right order or sequence to become a dance. If you start with your hands down to your hips instead of out in front of you, you ARE dancing, but it’s NOT the Macarena.
So it is with the Macarena as it is with writing the discussion section of your thesis"
- thank you @thesiswhisperer, this bit of lightness is exactly what I needed right now!
Impressive commitment from someone so young. Shame this kind of thing doesn't make the mainstream news. https://www.crikey.com.au/2023/01/27/innes-fitzgerald-runner-greta-thunberg-australia/

No disrespect to people killed or disrupted by falling bridges, but it would be nice to get even a tenth of that attention on road safety, the lack of which kills more than a million people globally each year, including 40k Americans, and injures many times more - a number that is going up when it should go down.
@milesmcbain (just got around to this tab) yep I have gone through these phases slowly and haphazardly, alone over the course of my PhD... hopefully will make me a better team member in the right team afterwards!
@Transportist Thinking about it as well, feel like I should know something from my bridge building days but can't remember.
According to this: https://austroads.com.au/publications/bridges/abc2017-133-17/media/ABC2017-133-17_Ross-Pritchard-2017-Revision-of-Australian-Standard-AS5100-Part2-Design-loads.pdf "Ship impact loads for navigable waterways and fire loads have been included for the first time", in AS5100 in 2017.
Ofc doesn't mean they weren't considered before, but not based on AS. Couldn't find anything from TfNSW either which was surprising.
@jedsetter And Circular Quay has the most choice of ferry lines. Yeah, it's quite odd.
@jedsetter Well... out of those Metro stops it has the closest ferry connection I guess?
@Transportist Don't forget the house price implications
@michcampbell Last year I registered for the same conference twice 😅 . Only realised six months after when going through bank statements. But if I had doubts I could have easily found the answer through my own records!
@walk_sydney It's time to discuss resuming 1 carparking space per block for dedicated share bike parking before jumping to abolition.
whinging
Why is it so common for postdoc job ads to just be titled "Postdoctoral Fellow" or similar?? Give us a topic, field, faculty... anything
@milesmcbain I wonder if you could have offered through a third party? Probably would see through it now though.
@milesmcbain He also now knows you have money :( That's a shame.
@shermozle @jakecoppinger @walk_sydney Yes, we don't really work with the pedestrian council... new approaches needed!
