Bad BOM and Other Problematic Changes

The Bureau of Meteorology has changed the layout of its website. 

The bastards!

It's shit. It's so beige

You can't find anything. 

I reckon it was designed by a committee and then created by AI. Only AI, or a committee would select that font. And the 

Grrr. 

I know I'll get used to it in a week or so, but I don't need these changes. It was bad enough using JIRA and Confluence at my last job having to endure the change of font from Calibri to Aptos. And yes, this is possibly a neurodiversity trait where you take comfort in the way things appear to give you some stability, but this is shit. Like where do you find the effing radar?

In the meantime, I've enrolled myself on an A.I. short course to get a bit more familiarity on using this bane of the modern world. If you can't beat them, join them.

It came out like this. 

It's a nice try, but it seems AI can't spell.

I reckon it should stick to cats.
