RT @jedwhite: A cliché a day keeps originality at bay ;p
@timdunlop A tad clichéd though. Rudd “hunched” over his laptop?
@timdunlop I think @TurnbullMalcolm in http://is.gd/mbWL is channelling Clive Hamilton: starts article with an imagined fantasy.
@stephenconroy But we’re ALREADY paying to “offset filter cost” for the tin minority who thinks they’re necessary.

@SnarkyPlatypus Et voila! La victoire est mienne!
@SnarkyPlatypus Oui, je suis chaud brûlant. Tout comme Warwick Capper. http://is.gd/mc4d
I note that earlier in the week I claimed to be Jennifer Beals. After further consideration, I withdraw that claim. http://is.gd/mc1g
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. J’ai été l’envoi de données au Costa Rica, et je me sens spécial. ET TOI?
You can hear that podcast “A Series of Tubes” at http://is.gd/lQZX
RT @HappySinger: Has gone to bed with @stilgherrian talking about his #fisting effort on @R_Chirgwin’s A Series of Tubes podcast. [Gosh.]
@ApostrophePong Yes, I can see myself editing “Tropical Living Thailand” magazine. Polite puff pieces about retirement resorts. Sure. ;)
@stephenfry’s blog post about looking things up for your goddam self instead of lazily asking (amongst other things): http://is.gd/mbPM
Dealing with that problematic server which is still problematic after so many helpful people have been helpful.
Emerges.
Now, having discovered what I wanted, it’s time for bed. [exit]
Experimenting with other kitchen implements.
Sharpening knives.

@mokargas @bethanie @obliviousgeek I knew the no-landline phenomenon was there, but (wow!) ACMA has caught up with it “officially”.
@middleclassgirl I don’t even understand the question, so I’ll reply in the negative.
If you missed Pauline Hanson spit the dummy on “Today Tonight” on Monday: http://is.gd/m2Wo
ACMA confirms young Australians increasingly choosing not to connect fixed line phone. http://is.gd/m2TK
@bengrubb We’re not “all” doing #followfriday. I’d never stoop so low as to pass on pathetic Twitter memes. Never
@SnarkyPlatypus So, drinks at Luna Park then?
@GerardHenderson Mr Henderson, I’m afraid you have the lyrics for “Howzat” wrong. “You messed about / I caught you out…” Rhyme, you see.
BTW, I’m OK. The Sarjeant-at-Arms was just answering my questions about terms of use of parliamentary webcast feeds.
ACMA: “Australian household consumers’ take-up and use of voice communications services.” http://is.gd/m2H0
Uhoh. An email from rhe Sarjeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives What have I done now?

@collinmullane I suspect Clive’s one of those who’s lived a sheltered life and imagines that private school children on buses don’t swear.
@jdub Yes, running through Clive’s stuff is a sense of public debates belonging to the “right” people, who play by “our” established rules.
@duncanriley @aramadge @cowspanker Now you boys play nice on the Internet or Clive Hamilton will be upset.
“Dozens of well-read blogs provide an outlet for a plethora of views that would rarely have found their way…” “Dozens” of blogs. Giggle.
Clive Hamilton in Crikey today: They’re all so rude on the internets make them stop! [My paraphrase.] http://is.gd/m1ZZ
RT @Fush: Cool robot pictures. http://is.gd/lMG5 [Boston.com’s “The Big Picture” wins again!]
@duncanriley Your new Crikey column “The Week in Geek” is full of WIN, even if “they” spelt your name wrong. ;) http://is.gd/m1mH
@jeffsonstein Agreed, having “a Twitter correspondent” is like having “a telephone correspondent” to listen to the phone.
@earleyedition Oh dear, yes. “Stilgherrian Live” mentioned by @Nickhodge is the screenshot. http://is.gd/m0wP
@seancarmody Congrats on your “The Top 40 Banks” being at the top of http://swivel.com today!
@earleyedition Wrong link? http://bit.ly/4CcAx is a Guardian article about Sky News’ “Twitter correspondent”, illustrated by the Fail Whale.
Dear Twitterverse, anyone in Sydney doing value-for-money one-off Quicktime VR panoramas or equiv in other technologies (Silverlight)?
@Nickhodge I use DownloadHelper for Firefox to suck .flv files out of YouTube. IE8 may not be your friend here.
@DamianM [smirks] Anyone who tries to suck up to me thru something like a Twitter meme needs to, um, reconsider their strategy. ;)
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: I think a child of Wayne Swan and Penny Wong would be the ultimate cyborg.
