I Spy With My Little Eye, Something Beginning With P... And Ending With Arity

Even through Paypal an AUD now buys more than 0.95 USD.  And that's after the dip a couple of days ago when our Reserve Bank decided not to increase interest rates.

When you switch back and forth between the US and AU business press, things start to get a bit surrreal.  From today's Sydney Morning Herald:
''Jobs creation is far stronger than expected,'' said Macquarie economist Ben Dinte. ''The RBA is definitely wary of labour shortages developing in the economy.''
From Yahoo! Finance:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Private employers unexpectedly cut 39,000 jobs in September after an upwardly revised gain of 10,000 in August, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

The August figure was originally reported as a loss of 10,000.

The Australian dollar hasn't been at parity with the US dollar since it was floated in 1983.

This makes buying goodies online really cheap, except if you want to get Civ 5 on Steam, who are being dickheads and charging Australians 60% more than anyone else.

(I just picked up the Icewind Dale bundle on GOG - IWD 1 plus Heart of Winter and Trials of the Luremaster for $10.)
