Brisbane Public Transport: 20pc Fare Cut for Go Card Users
The Courier-Mail reports that there will be a 20 per cent cut in public transport fares in South-East Queensland if you use a Go Card. The new fares start on Monday August 4 2008, when most single fares will increase by 10 or 20c. This gives people a serious reason to try the Go Card – the current discount system is not really cheap compared to weekly or monthly tickets. But the new system offers a twenty per cent cut in all fares, a further 35 per cent cut for trips over 13 zones or more, and if you take ten journeys a week, all other journeys that week cost half price. When the new system starts I will put $50 on to a Go Card and see if that lasts as long as a $86.40 two zone monthly.
Brisbane Conferences: Creative Commons Conference Update
I was a little optimistic about what my new phone can do which means i have lots of video from the creative Commons Conference trapped on my phone till next week when my computer arrives at my new home. Seems that the three network will only handle around 4.5mb attachments for email sent from a prepaid Sony Ericsson K800i. This means i will have to adjust my technique to be able to send in video reports direct from the scene when things are happening.

Brisbane Conferences: Building an Australasian Commons
Creative Commons Australia is holding the “Building an Australasian Commons” conference tomorrow at the State Library at Southbank. Registrations closed on June 10th, but if you can’t go don’t worry, I’ll be there and will you can keep up to date with the Brisbane Blog.
Creative Commons is an alternative to copyright – it lets you licence your work so that other people can use it. There are different licences, so you can say that people can’t use your work to make money, or you can say that people can use your work but they can’t change it. The idea behind Creative Commons is that the more material people have to use, the more creative we can all be.
I’ll be live twittering the conference. Don’t worry if you follow me on twitter, you won’t get a flood of updates. Instead, just check this page here where you’ll be able to find all my updates.
I’ll also be sending videos from the conference live to the Brisbane Blog, and I’ll be taking plenty of photos as well. And I’ll follow up with a report of what goes on.
