I was a UQ student 2005-08 and can confirm you got 150mb/month quota with the option to buy more at $10/gb. If you lived on campus that was your only option for Internet.
Thankfully they've upped it now.

Flowdock is also pretty great

Hmmm.. I made the pipes move up and down and now the neural network isn't doing so well :P
I've added "vertical velocity of next pipe" and "distance until next pipe" as inputs as well as upped the hidden layer neurons to 4 - anyone have any other ideas to improve its performance?

f8app - https://github.com/fbsamples/f8app
React Native, but same idea. There's also an excellent set of posts at http://makeitopen.com/ which run through how it was built and why.
It's responsible for a lot of my 'aha' moments about Flow type-checking and Redux.

We're an established company of 15 responsible for delivering a world-class Library Management Platform to Public, Corporate and University Libraries around Australia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, UK and UAE. Our mission is to provide the best set of tools that empower libraries to build communities, simplify their day to day running and provide exactly what their members need.
We're looking for a Front-End Developer
- You'd be joining our five-person development team.
- Our app is 100% web-based. Currently it's an MVC style framework + unstructured javascript. You'd be helping us transition to an API-first system with a React.js based frontend
- More importantly, there's a massive scope for UX improvements along the way which have a real impact on our users
Shoot us an email at [email protected] to chat if you're interested.

Version Free sounds amazing - I can see the pros of being able to add/deprecate fields at the same API endpoint, but I find most of the reason we version our API is for field type changes as the data schema naturally evolves. We need to keep track of finer grained data in existing fields that wasn't originally thought of.
To take the Star Wars example at https://github.com/facebook/graphql and build on it. Let's say after this is deployed we need to expose a Planet's population as well. Now homePlanet goes from being a String to a Planet { name population } object.
This type change would break existing clients - the only real solution I can think of is introducing the planet object as PlanetDetails (essentially PlanetV2) and deprecating planet, but that's just back to versioning.
I feel like there must be a better way to deal with it? Interestingly, the graphql format allows this to be differentiated (as the old API won't request an object), but there appears to be no provision to union two non-objects into a single field?

Insight Informatics - http://libero.com.au/ - Brisbane, Australia or REMOTE (within Australia)
We're a team of 12 responsible for delivering a world-class Library Management Platform to Public, Corporate and University Libraries around Australia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Our mission is to provide the best set of tools that empower libraries to build communities, simplify their day to day running and provide exactly what their members need.
Front-End Developer: We're entirely web-based and have been prototyping our latest stuff with React.js - our customers love what we've come up with so far. We're after experienced people passionate about user experience to invent new ways to interact with your library, as well as build upon what we have at the moment.
Shoot us an email at [email protected] to chat if you're interested, or even if you were/still are that kid that likes hanging out at the library.

Would you mind elaborating on your workflow? I tried pitching something similar to this to my team of 12 and got a lot of resistance.

There are bindings for most of the common languages to access Cache structures/functions (.Net, Java, Python, Perl, C/C++, Node.js) but not much the other way around. The only native to call out from Objectscript is via a low-level C interface.
At the moment we're solving the problem by calling out to a set of Golang microservices from Cache over http.
Cache itself actually has web support baked in, either via early-00's PHP style "echo directly down the pipe" or a newer MVC style framework they've built, but sadly stopped developing. Our product team made the choice to transition to their MVC style framework, another team built on ASP.Net so there are options.

So our saas web app backend is written predominantly in Cache Objectscript, which is one of the few remaining implementations of MUMPS. We use it on a day to day basis, which I guess makes me a MUMPS developer.
As a programming language, it's a fairly standard procedural language. Cache introduces the ability for scoped java-like classes over the top of the standard procedural code and there's a SQL/ORM layer that at least allows a definition for the giant persistent hash table. That being said, a bunch of our code is in the legacy unscoped routines which is... interesting.
The two real downsides are the complete lack of libraries for it (imagine having to allocate time to port DEFLATE as part of your developement scheduling) and the fact that 20 years of schemaless, unvalidated, tightly coupled data access leads to a boatload of weird bugs.
Feel free to AMA.
