Yesterday Disney released this:



And, well, having planned a lot of trips with MDX, I couldn't help myself but to parody it.

So...I present to you...the REALITY of MDX! (at least for now, this is tongue in cheek, because it's getting better all the time, and to be fair to Disney, this was a monumental undertaking...but, that doesn't mean that timeouts and other errors aren't frustrating!)

That was great!!

Funny thing about the original WDW tutorial - when I watched it all I could think was, "hey look - that kid pulled the sword out of the stone!" :rolleyes:

I saw an article just now named after a Disney attraction. But it doesn't sound like it's really about the attraction...

"It's a Small World after All: Using Social Network Analysis to Investigate Systemic Risk in the Australian Superannuation Sector"

Australia’s superannuation (pension) sector is extraordinarily large by almost any measure. The system is the fourth largest in the world with assets under management exceeding $A2 trillion (€1.3 trillion). Approximately two thirds of the system ($A1.2 trillion) is managed in the large-scale intermediated superannuation funds that are the subject of this study. At one level, these funds appear to be functionally and financially independent of each other. However, they are linked by the common use of service providers. Indeed, the regulatory approach, for those entities that are actually regulated is to treat each of the service providers in separate silos. This paper examines the effects of the service provider linkages using a network science approach. It demonstrates that social network analysis and network science theory can be used to describe the level of interconnectedness within the Australian superannuation sector. It shows that the system has some ‘small world’ characteristics and analyses the consequences of these characteristics. In particular, it concludes that a more holistic regulatory approach is required in order to be able to identify systemic risk, which is not apparent from the current silo-based analysis.

Great find, it's a shame they removed the Australian superannuation section from It's a Small World. It really made the ride.

In all fairness, I used it last February. It took me about 10 minutes on my computer to set it up and when I got to the parks my smart phone worked perfectly listing my times and locations. A matter of luck I guess, but, since I had enough bad experience with "small time" technical change-overs, I can only imagine the nightmare it was to switch to something that big. IT guys are good, but, we're all human and little details always rear their ugly heads once it goes live. Think "Office Space".
