@allisonr Cheers! Now I just have to figure out how to *achieve* the 4-day week. And in just what number system I’d be 22yo. ;)
I’ve decided! Starting next week I will adopt a 4-day working week. First “day off” is Friday 9 May, my, erm, 22nd [cough] birthday.
This can’t be fucking Twitter Fuck Day, you fucktards! You haven’t given enough fucking time to fucking well plan it, you fucking cunts!
@mpesce I loved your live commentary from the SA Govt conference today. It’d edit up to make an excellent essay about how behind they are.
Retweet @jjprojects: I saw this funny book in the weekend called “Fuck this book”. Here’s the site http://fuckthiswebsite.c…
Down-tools time as far as clients go. Reading & writing & chatting before @ApostrophePongophePong promised to do something with a chicken.
@acatinatree I’m reading your tweets to decide if you’re a boy cat or girl cat. I still cannot decide, but I know that you write words good.
Failing to do creative client work today. I always fail that on a Monday. Time to rearrange the week!
@mspecht “MS PowerPoint” == Multiple Sclerosis PowerPoint?
@acatinatree If clients NEED it TODAY and can’t wait 24 hours, it’s their problem. Should have planned ahead. Took me ages to learn that.
The DPP explains why charges against The Chaser crew were dropped. http://is.gd/9wx good, clearly-written legal reasoning.
@acatinatree I think it’s about having the strength to say “No”. “I’m already booked out that day, can we do Tuesday instead?”
@acatinatree 4 day working week? Just do it! Read material linked from here: http://is.gd/9wj Works for 37signals.
@willhughes “Web 2.0” is indeed a similar thing, though I have to be careful what I say ‘cos @SilkCharm is watching… Ssssh!
@mpesce “Web 3.0” is a wank-work used by people who need to give the impression that they know more than you do because, really, they don’t.
I just got a “Dear Bloggers” email from CeBIT. Has anyone heard of CeBIT before? Maybe they should send more emails to make sure we know.
@Nickhodge Checking off Monday’s to-do list… “Subvert the hierarchy”… done! [Pats self on back]
My previous two tweets are not related in any way.
@andrewbarnett Yes, opt-out organ donation. People can USE organs once your “spirit” (whatever that is) departs. Burying meat is pointless.
@RichardGiles Emergency Porn is why they invented 16GB USB memory devices: 3 x feature-length filth vids in your pocket!
Organ donor registration form has been completed. [Insert obvious lame jokes here, and then move on.]
@mpesce They’re pimping email eh? Next they’ll extol the virtues of the horseless carriage and that new petroleum oil for lighting.
CeBIT Sydney has *another* “exclusive limited offer” of 100 free exhibition passes. That don’t sound so fuckin’ exclusive. Spammy cunts.
@mpesce You’re in a city full of repressed middle-class control freaks, and you’re telling them have no control? Will you get out alive?
Retweet @ssharwood: Lou Reed marries Laurie Anderson! http://tinyurl.com/6eu8nv Earth implodes. Film at 11.
Quote outta my slush pile: “Hong Kong, what a shit of a city! Full of skyscrapers and washing.”
@andrewbarnett Well, “chicken” IS another word used alongside “twink” and “bear”, at least in 1970s, but we’ll choose not to go there today.
@acatinatree Welcome to my Twitterworld. May you survive my sense of humour, or at least die gloriously in the attempt.
@andrewbarnett That’s my quote du jour: “We’re not here to fuck chickens, boyo!” Useful in so many circumstances.
@bck Sorry, what are you doing with these “email chickens” of which you speak? Do they lay eggs, or are they for cooking? Or bed-fun? ;)
Cleaners being 1hr+ late annoying. Can’t start proper brainwork until sounds of vacuum cleaners go away, but they have yet to start.
@Nickhodge I am interested in your ideas re MSM and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
There’s a specific German word for the process of opinion- and agenda-forming, anyone know what it is? [mental block]
@garthk Yes, Celltx as the film/AV pre-prod tool http://is.gd/9P9 and Scrivener as the writer’s tool http://is.gd/6Tv … ahead of ya!
@cait I don’t listen to “many”, more a select few. Time constraints. My focus as broadcaster was always live, that’s what I want to explore.
@cait Fear not! I shall listen to your show this week, as well as many others. ;) [Click. “Global Geek Podcast” goes into iTunes.]
Maybe technically it’s Ustream to get live input, but separately record high-quality audio and post-sync for archived version. [shrugs]
@cait I’ve also noted that podcasts sound either like ABC Radio National (people talking to themselves), or worst of community (ditto).
@cait As a former ABC radio guy, I DO appreciate attention to audio, trust me! I’m brainstorming this week, and your comments noted…
@garthk CamTwirl allows me to mix in pics/video of things I’m talking about… tho thoughts are very much still evolving this week.
@garthk Current thinking is CamTwirl/Ustream for main feed, Skype for inbound voice. Will decide Monday, re-assess after pilot 8 eps.
@cait Poor audio in Ustream etc will pass. The interactivity *during* the conversation is important. Perhaps “live to tape” is a better tag?
@cait Is it still podcasting if the focus is “live”? Yes, 8 x weekly eps as a trial in May/June. http://is.gd/9kB
@deanlk I’ll report my podcasting progress in detail. It’ll be interesting to see how my traditional broadcaster’s mind makes the change.
@deanlk Re me blogging “right mix of geekery and Aust news & politics”, ta! It’s a geek’s perspective, “how it works”, on those issues.
@andrewbarnett Still, business managers who don’t understand computers by now are “incompetent”, as I’ve written before: http://is.gd/9Nz
@andrewbarnett While I admire direct and honest communication, I suspect that telling the client he’s stupid will not win me the job.
I am still trying to remember the specific German word for the process of political agenda- and opinion-formation. I hate memory loss.
@pfanderson Thanks. I try to make tweets relevant or at least amusing for people who don’t know the context. A good discipline, I reckon.
Challenge: Explain recommended choice of CRM system, SaaS over in-house serving etc, when key decision-maker has NEVER used a computer.
Tues plan: Easy client-work desk day: CRM implementation plan, spam filtering, extranet re-structure; invoicing; evening open.
How many tasteless jokes can be made here? “Beijing’s Exclusive Penis Restaurant”. Yes, what I said. http://is.gd/9M9 [Thanks, Richard.]
@pfanderson Hello and welcome to my Twitterworld. Please observe all safety precautions. (I think you’ll need them this week, it’s weird.)
@garthk I have looked for the mouse. I have found it. It looks interesting and it shall be investigated this afternoon. Ta.
Emerging into cold, clear morning light to resist the sirens’ call. The sirens are ragged today. Their song is weak. No lashing is required.
I think it’s well past my bedtime, given that @ApostrophePong and I both have early starts tomorrow, in our separate ways. [evaporates]
@cait well there goes @jjprojects theory that he’d lose followers for swearing.
@deanlk Welcome yet another stalker! Wow so much attention today, even omitting the spammers. What did I do to deserve this?
@dekrazee1 Twitter ha disabled your browser’s keyboard shortcuts as part of that censorship attempt, and the JavaScript has buggered Gmail.
I just realised that Getting Things Done HAS to reduce your inbox to zero content, otherwise the cat doesn’t have anywhere to sleep.
@pronoiapierce Oh the ███ at Twitter decided to censor high-traffic █████ if they ███. But it doesn’t work for everyone.
@eztephen Ah, you also hate it when there’s a typo, even on Twitter eh?
I was supposed to comment on the DPP’s decision to drop charges against The Chaser team. http://is.gd/9wx But I think it’s all been said.
@eztephen Welcome too, an may the gods have mercy upon your ███!
I think I might make a few statements of relevance so that my website Twitter feed doesn’t look quite so ████.
@tristankenney Welcome to my Twitterworld. If oxygen is required, masks will drop form the ceiling automatically. They probably won’t work.
@mpesce Twitter have started to ████ our ██ language just because we decided to run a Twitter █████ tonight! The █████!
@bck 移除所有的服裝，床上的樂趣。
Retweet @abcnews: British refinery strike ███████ oil price to new high. http://tinyurl.com/68xdyk
@Nickhodge They say it only seems to ████ when 由于天气转冷.
@Nickhodge I’m getting people █████ing about black ████ in their Twitter ██████ too, but only ████times. It doesn’t make ████.
@Fifikins ████ ███████ to ███ watermelon!
@PeterBlackQUT Fuck ███!
@grum It’s the first annual official Twitter Fuckfest. You ███ to say fuck in every tweet.
@Nickhodge How the fuck are we ██████ to ████ the dominant paridigm if ██ won’t ████ the cunts when █, the fucktards?
What’s with the ████ ████████ that’s those ████ have █████ done?
AFK while mungling hard drive, then disintegrating into sleep.
@SnarkyPlatypus My fucking Facebook gift to you is one Damaged Blond. :P
Logo design FAIL. Or do we just have grubby minds? http://is.gd/9yZ
Excellent, people still find my blog by searching for “corey worthington naked” and “paul neil milne johnstone”. Chuffed.
@andrewbarnett Did you say King Crimson? I must perforce acknowledge you as a 21st Century Schizoid Man!
Retweet @abcnews: Mobile phones now outnumber Australians. http://tinyurl.com/66q3ep
@kcarruthers Cool, I like it when I influence people, for better or for worse. Especially when it’s fucking linguistically.
@fanbloodytastic Ta. As I say, brainstorm and explore possibilities this week, trim them back for reality of the 8x weekly eps next week.
OK, time to stop talking about podcasting and do some billable hours. All input greatly appreciated! More soon.
