Emerges. There is something painful, something that smells a bit odd, and something that’s a little bit sticky.
@mpesce I bow, then, to your gratuitous combination of astrology and geekery. ;)
Retweet @ApostrophePong: Lovely couple - Photo: http://bkite.com/0173u Yes, the OTHER geekgroup at Kelly’s… fresh…. fresh…
@mpesce JUST jailbroke your iPhone? What took you so long, n00b?
@wolfcat Well what can I say? It’s a New Moon, time for a little Absorption…
miniSTUB encountered a flock of sweet young geeks. They shall be Indoctrinated and Absorbed. Even the one wearing a corset, whoever he is.
Max TV is offering a prize: MacBook Air, iPhone 3G and $500 iTunes voucher. Are you moist yet?
miniSTUB ahead, range 500m.
My electrical tube-worm of transportational delight arrives! I shall see you soon, Dear miniSTUB!
@limburger2001 Kelly’s has solid, cheap pub food.
@Entregreeneur “Exploding White Mice”? Fark, I remmeber that century!
As an aside, which fuckwit built Unrinal-Tile Station such that you can’t see any of the train info displays from the bench seats?
I will be at Urinal-Tile Station a little longer: destination board did not match train’s worldview. I wanted that train. CityRail owes me.
Currently in Urinal-Tile Station, Wynyard, awaiting an electrical tube-worm of transportational delight.
@stokely “‘Mr Sapphire?’ Dear, you may call be Bombay…” ;)
In a country with a comprehensive, free education system available to all, why the fuck do people not know HOW TO BUY A BLOODY TRAIN TICKET?
Leaving Mosman, heading back to Newtown.
@StuartL I try to make my tweets useful to people who are only seeing half the thread. Plus information is only of value if it’s shared.
@ameel Cobian Backup looks good too, and is free. I’ll check them out over the next few working days and give some feedback.
@Alegrya I guess I should RSVP to YOU that I’ll be at the miniSTUB this evening at Kelly’s On King. See you there.
@veamince @crispin_harris SyncBack and RoboCopy both look good. I reckon SyncBack will win my vote so far: it can copy user-locked files.
As a complete aside, why do none of our “modern” operating systems have file versioning, like VAX/VMS had 30 years ago? Hmmm? Hmmm?
(Network drive contains 100GB of desktop PC backups, plus 30GB shared business data. This is for off-site backup.)
Dear Twitterverse, best Windows answer to “How to regularly backup sync 132GB data on network drive (WD MyBook World) to external HDD”?
@lindsayevans I’ll be at miniSTUB ‘cos it’s closer to home and I reckon the Shelbourne’s a hole. ;)
Retweet @mediajorge: bunny butts! http://tinyurl.com/54vyd4 Yes, but I can’t help but think: LUNCH!

@limburger2001 There is a procedure to turn an iPhone into a 3G modem.
@limburger2001 Currently pay $79/mo but not enuf internet. $20 more, capacity + free iPhone? Good deal, I say!
@limburger2001 Between video uplinks and using phone as 3G modem, yes, I can see a few GB being used fast.
@KainTietzel I was amazed at how many people were saying the iPhone plans were a rip-off, but still rushed in to buy anyway. Caveat emptor!
@jryderau If Virgin Mobile’s broadband is “flaky” it’s either Optus’ flakiness generally or Optus giving Virgin problems. It’s Optus onsold.
@ApostrophePong Agreed, the competition for iPhone will increase once the spend-whatever eager beavers have run out. Is that NOW, though? ;)
@DenubisX Yes, please ask Virgin Mobile the data overrun rates per megabyte for their iPhone plans, ta.
Virgin Mobile iPhone plans actually better than reported yesterday. http://is.gd/1baF On sale today. Are early adopters feeling stupid now?
Last week: 2 different Linksys AM300 modems FAIL on iiNet ADSL2+. Linksys unhelpful. Today: Netgear DM111P connects immediately stable. Joy.
@JonoH I’m just trying to find the 1945 memo where Manhattan Project scientists say first atomic bomb will “probably” not destroy earth…
Retweet @NathanaelB: Pics of device that will bring the end of the world. http://tinyurl.com/5ov94h (When will true purpose be revealed?)
OK, my day is now VASTLY different having read this tweet: http://is.gd/17XS Thank you, anonymous person what told me.
@mpesce ROFL! “Then comes the eloquent clincher: “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.” Well, to be fair, it scans perfectly.” http://is.gd/1cgT
@mpesce That’ll have to be my question to telcos: “How much included h0t str33ming g04tz pr0nz to my iPhonez?”
Is “gym & cocktails” the right sort of combination in life?
Sat plan: A couple quick work-ish tasks to clear the deck; read/potter/write/lunch; late afternoon gym & cocktails w@SnarkyPlatypusypus.
@mpesce Agreed with the whole “measuring data” thing, either fixed or mobile. It’s a pipe. Electrons don’t wear out.
@erkpod I think the Metallica audio was “The Unforgiven II”, rather than the original. I’ll have to see which works best with John Travolta.
@mpesce The Brits are scary. Mind you can you IMAGINE what “restaurant reviewer for The Times” is like? God’s fucking gift to food and wine.
@aussietechhead @dcw303 @fuzheado @Debdiego @daphoenixfire @siliconbeach Hi new folks on the stream. Warning: weekends are less sensible.
@mpesce It’s from the series: “Giles Coren: Selected Correspondence”. http://is.gd/1ceO ‘I have never ended on an unstressed syllable!’ LOL
@mpesce This is the original Giles Coren rant http://is.gd/12gG which the sub-editor responds to at http://snurl.com/39461. Hilarious!
@SnarkyPlatypus That blond boy wasn’t a proper geek, despite a Linux penguin t-shirt. When I left, his tongue was well down a girl’s throat.
@erkpod The matching songs were the audio of Metallica’s “Unforgiven” with video of The Bee Gee’s “More Than a Woman” from Sat Night Fever.
