En route to St Ives. A magnificent spring morning helps ease the pain. So does codeine.

via Cloudhopper

Mon plan: Mailout to announce new charge-out rates for general geekery; day in St Ives for client disinfection; evening at home, collapsing.

via Twitter Web Client

Emerges. It’s Monday, but it’s also Spring. Maybe the stress of one is cancelled by the hope of the other.

via Twitter Web Client

Exhausted. Even with sort-of decent sleep last night, the pain levels are tiring. Codeine and sleep beckon, despite no work catch-up. [exit]

@middleclassgirl Hehe! Merci. :) I was blown away being quoted by Pisani too, he’s cool. I like being “le blogueur australien Stilgherrian”.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to AnnabelAstbury

@SilkCharm Get a reputation? But then you could MANAGE your reputation. How often do you Google yourself, if it’s not rude to ask?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to SilkCharm

@lewellyn No, “fiddling with my bits” is NOT “letting off steam”. Well, not steam anyway.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lewellyn

@middleclassgirl Formidable? Well, it’s not quite “Le Monde” http://is.gd/102y but I’m happy. Il est adéquate. ;)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to AnnabelAstbury

@lewellyn Googling oneself is “reputation management”. Ask @SilkCharm, she’ll tell you it’s not dirty. Ask nicely, she’ll tell you what is.

@Nickhodge Barry Jones is not only smart, he talks even more than I do. Never get him and me in the same room. Personal experience speaking.

@wolfcat I think the first Twitter meme would have been the Fail Whale, surely?

(I won’t be doing much gym at the gym, the pain is still painful. But I’ll enjoy watching @SnarkyPlatypus suffer.)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to wolfcat

@wolfcat Why do people keep saying “that is so wrong” to things I say?

Anyway, I’m making the transition to The Afternoon Office(tm) for a hearty lunch and what I should’ve been working on this morning.

via Twitter Web Client

@Warlach But THAT old debate is tedious, and that it keep emerging whenever we have a conversation about media evolution shits me to tears.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Warlach

@Warlach The old media vs new media “one or the other” style argument only happen if you assume people can’t/won’t learn new new skills.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Warlach

@Warlach I don’t think you can change Fairfax from the inside any more than you can turn a steamship into an Airbus A380.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Warlach

@Warlach I tell the journos that facing the sack is an opportunity, not a threat, that they can create something new - unless not up for it.
