        I'm playing with ShareX ... Somebody posted it, and I think I've just found a Greenshot replacement... The irony is that ShareX actually uses the Greenshot Image editor, lol!

        I'll have to play with that some.

        Step one ... getting it to load automatically. 🙂

          I'm supposed to be doing the Australian Census tonight but the website got magically DDoS'd by millions of Australians all attempting to give it a go online... on designated census night.

          Yeah, the Australian Bureau of Statistics just got schooled in capacity planning.

          Looks like I'll be doing the paper version.

          What's the problem with having literally everyone in Australia log in to one website simultaneously?

                      I know, right! What could go wrong with 65% of the population expected to hit one website on one night and fill out a multi-page questionnaire

                          Yeah, it's almost 11PM MT+8 (most of AU is GMT +10), everyone's shot through, so they can get that bit back up at least. Heaps of connection time out errors.

                            I think you've government is simply counting the number of failed connections (with a grain of salt) and coming up with a rough number for the population.

                            They're probably ecstatic that so many people have even gone to the website.

                                Perhaps, but it would be easier to submit an FOI to the NSA and subpoena Facebook.
                                No need for a census in which people do silly things like mark their religion as Jedi.

                                  They shouldn't need to scale, they know exactly how many users they will have ahead of time!

                                    One would expect that, being that voting is also compulsory (unless religious grounds or served more than 5 years jail for a single sentence), the AEC should have been able to provide relatively accurate numbers.

                                      Isn't it weird that they allow you to get out of a mandatory task if you've done enough jail time? Seems like just allowing people to opt out would be smarter.

                                        lol, if there was an opt out, the entire nation would opt out. That's why we don't have the option.

                                          Nah, the government would just have to tally up the Opt Out requests...

                                            You do, you just have to be violent about it.

                                            I've never understood why making people who don't care vote is a good idea. It's just a way to increase media control. It adds more noise so that those that research and care can't influence the vote.
