So when you say 'Winter' do you mean in around 3 months time? It has just become spring here in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
I guess it will depend on how my job hunting has gone...

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_are_th...rn_hemispheresThe Earth is tilted on its axis, and depending on the time of the year, either the northern or southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, while the other half must, of course, be tilted away.
In June, the Northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun. This makes the day longer and the Sun is higher in the sky, giving what sunlight hits the ground more intensity. This is summer.
At the same time, the Southern hemisphere is experiencing winter, with shorter days and the Sun lower in the sky, giving less intense sunlight.
When December comes, the situation is reversed, with winter in the Northern hemisphere and summer in the Southern.
cheers,
Paul

I am still wondering what kind of christmas songs are sung in Australia: "I am dreaming of a white Christmas ...". Santa Claus is surfing ... ?

Technical challenge sounds good to me.
I would hope there was different result system though, like letting forum members vote. Wouldn't need judges. Most importantly i'm not after the rewards. All that stuff make the contest feel more pressing and bigger than it should be. It could be in big part a self-maintained system.
