OK, head down, have to concentrate on clients’ needs for a couple of hours. @replies will be dealt with later this morning.
@plasmaegg I’d have thought China would be VERY happy having the US by the short-n-curlies. ;) Makes negotiations much, much easier.
@plasmaegg “How is it possible for the Govt to back 5 trillion in mortgages?” Easy. Run foreign debt up to record levels, then US$ plummets.
For those wanting to turn off @trib, @mpesce, me, etc tomorrow, try using http://twittersnooze.com/ so you don’t forget to come back. #fom08
@plasmaegg “What exactly are we hoping to get from the future of media?” Three eggs and a small green steamboat. Is that 140 characters yet?
Warning: In ~24 hours I’ll be tweeting heavily from Future of Media Summit. http://is.gd/N8P Will re-warn closer to start time. #fom08
Mon plan: Project mgt from desk; client meeting The Rocks 1200-1400; arvo further proj mgt & proposals; evening gym to replace Sat slackoff.
Some time today, tweet #5000 will emerge form my consciousness into the Twittrix. That’ll be an interesting event.
Emerges. And I have a strange foreboding about this week. I hope I’m wrong, ‘cos it’s only the very start.
@mpesce Ah well, “decent” article is more your department than mine. And on that note I shall de-grid for the evening, big week ahead! Ciao.
@mpesce No I LOVE it! “The latest on Iran’s nuclear weapons” tracks the fact that we made a joke yesterday! All facts are of equal value. 0!
And, yes Huffington Post currently has my last comment about this in their “live conversation” feed. http://is.gd/S9o Reality IS stranger…
@mpesce I’m hoping that http://tinyurl.com/58brgf correctly pulls it out of Google’s cache.
@mpesce It was at http://is.gd/S9o according to Google but HP’s Summize.com feed has the dates b0rked now… 5th item at http://is.gd/S9p ;)
@mpesce Did you know that when we tweeted about nuclear weapons the other morning it ended up on the Huffington Post “live convo” feed? LOL!
@SnarkyPlatypus I don’t even want to begin to think how you’ve managed to link to Bonnie Tyler from that. This, however…! http://is.gd/S9h
@ApostrophePong The worry will come when you notice ALL of your Brightkite updates happen from licensed premises. And are exactly 140 chars.
@neerav Wow, cited directly from your blog AND taller than me… I bow to your superior coolness, sir! ;)
@wolfcat For example, this is perhaps one of my most eloquent contributions to the Twitterverse: http://is.gd/S99 True, heartfelt emotion…
@wolfcat I assume you cite a tweet the same was as any other internet link: the URL & the date of access. Each tweet does have a unique URL.
@DCouch Hehe! No, alas, “Media Watch” didn’t reveal whether Vince was able to correctly identify his girlfriend’s vagina from the lineup. ;)
LOL! I just found one of my Crikey pieces cited in the bibliography of an academic piece. The world really IS going to hell in a handbasket.
@mpesce OK, I’m this week’s NON-IRONIC world #3 for generating 140-character tweets as measured by a service which may or may not be broken.
Grammar has deserted me today. :( Maybe it’s seeing 2DAY-FM listener Vince given 10sec to pick his own gf’s genitals from a selection of 4.
@mpesce I admit that aiming to make one’s tweets exactly 140 characters every time is a pretty lame ambition. I’ve got to be good something.
@Entregreeneur Congratulations. Not that I wish to be hypercompetitive, but I’m now #3 at http://tweet140.com, and you’re not in the Top 10.
At least I KNOW that my last tweet had severe grammatical problems… ;)
@SnarkyPlatypus Mind you, an hour of “Media Watch”, 2 days before hearing yet more journalists complain that bloggers aren’t “professional”.
Catching up on the last month’s worth of “Media Watch”. http://is.gd/d47 Jonathan Holmes’ sarcasm is much more refined than mine.
@mpesce If nothing else, iPhone mania is generating great tutorial studies in contract law. No-one knows what they’re selling or buying.
@mpesce “Denial” is the first of the five stages… ;) http://tinyurl.com/oajk4
@mpesce This comment on my blog http://tinyurl.com/5pk3wt may make you mutter a nasty Anglo-Saxon word about Vodafone’s iPhone data plans…
The Emissions Trading Scheme explained in 60 seconds, thanks to First Dog on the Moon. http://is.gd/S5A I think the bunny rabbit helps… ;)
Retweet @sboiling: “@mpesce @JonoH Virgin Radio? I see the Phil Collins record is out again. This time it’s called ‘Sussudio’: SPOT ON, SIR!
@custa1200 “Janitor” is indeed a superb job title. [smirks] I am very, very tempted to use it. Janitors usually know what’s really going on.
@sirexcat Erisynic is good, yes! But… @willhughes “Entropy Development Manager”, yes, sounds like it needs a nice strong cup of tea…! ;)
I picked up a bunch of followers this week. Won’t be able to respond/follow all back, but I do read all @replies (eventually).
@Alex_Manchester @chieftech @sunlightnetwork @Shaun_R @rnlrobinson @joshglid @seamus Hi new Twitterfollowers… and others I’ve missed.
@dotarray Indeed, “Stilgherrian” IS unique to me. But I still reckon that’s a NAME whereas a TITLE is about a role within that organisation.
Dear Twitterverse, I need an Officer title for #fauc. http://is.gd/PUx Something which embraces emergent chaos & cynicism & is right for me.
Emerges (partially). Deciding between dealing with the work backlog for Monday today (Sunday), or doing a very early start on Monday itself.
