Thu plan: Primarily a desk day, wrapping up old projects and documenting new; 2130 “Stilgherrian Live” episode 39 (stand by for details).
@SnarkyPlatypus Comme toujours, vous dire la vérité. http://is.gd/mWWt
@SnarkyPlatypus Chaque jour est ce jour-là. Un câlin est un don de Dieu.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Aujourd’hui est le premier jour du reste de votre vie.
RT @franksting: Guardian launches ‘Open Platform’ … include Guardian N&M content into sites in return for Advertising http://bit.ly/SS8KW
Emerges. Pigeons win, the consensus seems to be.
Yep, definitely. [exit]
Home. And I don’t think I’ll be awake much longer.
@nwjerseyliz It’s nice to be on a list that doesn’t have “reward offered” under my photo.
@ApostrophePong I’m still chuckling over you having Pauline Pantsdowne as a lecturer!
Mobile. Enmore Rd / King St / @SnarkyPlatypus / gym / dinner / etc. Attention depleted.
@ApostrophePong I have watched that video three times now and it raises more questions than it answers. http://tinyurl.com/ctkvwm
RT @jg_rat: To my knowledge, pigeons do not have nipples. [See, that’s JOURNALISM!]
RT @ApostrophePong: Holy smoke this is my niece… right of screen. http://tinyurl.com/ctkvwm Can’t vote for her. Need Thai mobile number.
@SnarkyPlatypus DON’T YOU HANG UP ON ME WHEN I’M PLAYING YOU AN IMPORTANT SONG, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF EXCREMENT!
Fact time. I was NOT in the taxi. The driver was wearing a shirt. He wasn’t old, but neither particularly young. Something about pigeons.
OK, I now have far, far more @replies than I can ever possibly respond to. And a headache. This madness must end!
@jasontinnin I see your GoodBarry tweet and will respond via email when I know more (Friday or Monday).
BTW, my tweet about the woman in the t-shirt wasn’t anti-Christian but anti-facile-slogans. Yes, a stab is a gift from God too, logically.
@Aussiemandias I think my whole life is the opening sentence of a novel.
While waiting for the lights to change, a taxi driver is playing with his nipples.
I just saw a woman in a t-shirt: “A hug is a gift from God.” I want to stab her. Is this wrong?
@rbuerckner Where did all the Kates come from? Well, once upon a time a Mummy Kate and a Daddy Kate, who loved each other very much, danced.
I think I could spend the rest of my life reading your responses about commuters and pigeons. I THINK SOME OF YOU KNOW THE SEKRIT!
Positive client meeting. Three new projects to do proposals for. All straightforward. Nice people. And on a Full Moon!
OK, at client site. Shoosh, you lot.
@Twitter_Tips “Does tweeting soothe emotions?” WHAT SORT OF FUCKED-UP QUESTION IS THAT? NEED I GO ON?
Wondering which is smarter, commuters or pigeons.
@bb600 Good heavens! She DOES need my bank account details! How DID you guess? ;)
RT @stephenconroy: @wilsontuckey Yeah, I’ve seen how much you country folk love your horses.
@stephenconroy You? IN CRIKEY?!?! “Unchecked, 100 megabit Internet will ruin us all” http://is.gd/mOpc
@reallyjapan @exocetau @Krumpet @SeandBlogonaut @OzAtheist @kalgoorliekid @mtats You are all cynics and should be ashamed of yourselves. ;)
Oh dear. A poor 24yo woman in Thailand needs MY help getting her late husband’s US$10.5M out of the Congo, and also wants a new husband!
Impressed with the new http://coveritlive.com features: scoreboard, RSS feeds, lots of minor improvements. Must do another liveblog soon!
@ApostrophePong The currawong knows to keep a wary eye for the cats, and that it’s even safe to approach if they’re nearby, but asleep.
@twoscomplement Prescience? Sleight of hand? No, you forget that other, far more common explanation: cock-up.
@rbbrown Certainly Tumblr allows you to get fun ideas online fast! Unicorns & Cupcakes has the best tagline ever. http://bit.ly/v9sDy
@ridsy You have excellent taste, Sir! But beware! @SnarkyPlatypus and I exchange pleasantries in French every morning!
@rbbrown Tumblr is a low-overhead blogging platform optimised for brief “I found this link/image/quote” posts with minimal (no?) commenting.
If anyone doesn’t already have enough narcissism in their life, here’s @mpesce on ABC 702 discussing Twitter last night: http://bit.ly/BTBs4
@marclehmann @brettw Does Sassu talk to GoodBarry? If not, how hard would it be to make it happen?
@john_chr Um, yes, asking a question which was clearly answered in the link I provided is somewhat lame. ;)
@john_chr Yes, that ANU course is indeed led by Andrew Tridgell (Tridge) of Samba fame. http://is.gd/mXVG
@joannejacobs Nice post “Selling social media” http://is.gd/mV5f I particularly like the term “the illiterate advocate effect”. ;)
@andrewbarnett Everything is funnier when it’s said to “a gay chick”. Especially if you call her “a gay chick” and she hits you.
ANU 5-day intensive course 14+ April “Free and Open Source Software Development” http://is.gd/mXlT “This course will not be easy”, I’m told.
With a “Stilgherrian Live” tonight, nominations are now open for “Cnut of the Week”. http://is.gd/mXbO Nominate at the website to count.
@andrewbarnett Oh! You said “penetrate and loosen it.” That’s so funny.
@katieharris Easy answer: The CBA’s IVR can’t tell you the queue is full or unattended until it knows which queue to connect you to.
@SnarkyPlatypus Je suis heureux de cet arrangement. Très heureux.
RT @riayn: Who the fuck cuts their fingernails on the bus? [Further research needed, I agree.]
