Haha, this made me chuckle :) > Here's a cute completely irrelevant story, feel free to skip. The phrase "Because Australians!" has actually become an inside joke/catchphrase in our company. See, Aussies and Kiwis (New Zealanders) wake up before everyone else (even before Japan). Basically Australians are the reason SaaS businesses don't have an outage/maintenance window. And a couple of times when we were about to put a server down for maintenance on a late Sunday evening (EU time), someone would shout "Wait! Don't do that!" - "What... Why?" - "Because Australians!" So after 4 or 5 times this phrase is now used as an ultimate "42" answer why everything has to be up and running 24/7. I even have a tiny map of Australia in my office. I (nor anyone from the team) have never been to Australia or New Zealand, but hey, we're always thinking about you mates [wink]
