52A Hutt Street has its own website!

26 February 2008 in Internet, Marketing, Notes by Stilgherrian | 5 comments

I think the real estate industry is eating itself. A house I used to live in in Adelaide has its own website!

[Update 7 August 2009: Alas, the website has now disappeared. What a shame.]

It’s so beautiful. Please buy it for me.

52a Hutt Street is marketed like a den of iniquity

@Tom W: Ah and such excellent music! Now why would I be buying you a home again…?

@Bernard: Actually it looked pretty much the same, with the bluestone wall etc. Well, externally, anyway. The “designer interior” hadn’t been done. Except…

@Nick Hodge: Funny you should mention that. What the advertising fails to mention is that before we lived there, 52A Hutt Street was a brothel. We had the occasional male visitor, a few beers down, visiting late at night and being somewhat confused when “the ladies” didn’t answer the door. “Oh, sorry mate…”

And, if I’d read the website properly — as opposed to gloating over such wond’rous items as “linen” — I’d have seen that 52A Hutt Street is actually rented out as short-term serviced accommodation. Perhaps I should stay there when next in Adelaide!

Script Challenge solved, finally!

On 4 August 2007, I set a challenge. Could people decipher a passage of English text written in an unknown script? Well yesterday, 66 months later, dario finally posted a solution. Congratulations, Sir! As I mentioned in my follow-up comment, it turns out that the text wasn’t the work of Ursula K Le Guin as [...]
Talking major sports’ future on ABC 702 Sydney

07 February 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Media

If you’d asked me last week what I thought I’d be doing this week, the answer would not have included “writing and talking about the future of the major sporting codes as televisions events”. But I wrote this thing in the newspaper… Last week federal court judge Justice Steven Rares ruled that Optus’ TV Now [...]
The 9pm Edict #17A

07 February 2012 in The 9pm Edict

Residents of the depressingly tight-sphinctered Melbourne suburb of Prahran torture their dogs. True. And it’s ugly. Also this week, Australia gets a new masthead for quality journalism, and everyone goes all wet and judgemental. Something something football on the internet. And I finish all the things that I meant to do on New Year’s Eve [...]
Talking “The Global Mail” on Radio 2SER

06 February 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Media

I thought I’d be too busy today to pay much attention to the new quality Australian news outlet The Global Mail. But then around 2pm I got a call from Radio 2SER in Sydney asking for a comment. And so it was that at 2.30pm I was interviewed for the station’s current affairs program The [...]
Weekly Wrap 87: Rain, unseasonable risk and videos

05 February 2012 in Weekly Wrap

My usual weekly summary of what I’ve been doing elsewhere on the internets. This post covers the week from Monday 30 January to Sunday 5 February 2012. It was an odd week. It rained. A lot. And the continual greyness felt like it was threatening to trigger seasonal affective disorder unseasonably. I figured it was [...]
