I was building a Public Holiday script for the intranet, and hit a problem with the Queen's Birthday in WA. A google search turned up this:
The Governor of Western Australia proclaims the date Western Australia will observe the Queen's Birthday based on school terms and the Perth Royal Show (source Department of Consumer and Employment Protection, Labour Relations division). There is no firm rule to determine this date before it is proclaimed, though it is typically the last Monday of September or the first Monday of October.
So it looks like I'll have to manually hard-code the Queen's Birthday for WA... :/ I hate things that ultimately require updating.
I found out how to change the default icon for a particular file type on WinXP. Whee! Now all my php files have a nifty php icon (http://www.php.net/download-logos.php -- I particularly like the second one from the bottom). Far better than that aweful generic "unrecognised file type" icon that Windows slaps on there.
