RT @crikey_news: POLL: Who has the stupidest online news poll today? http://twtpoll.com/1e6w88
Mon plan (belated): Write for Crikey; desk afternoon involving chaos (much); evening gym/dinner with @SnarkyPlatypus (make up for Saturday).
@wraptinweb Erk! I have a low tolerance of organisations which spend more time on arse-covering than fixing the problem being exposed.
@BrendanB This is a problem, yes: whistleblowers can be sacked. Incompetence gets covered up thru “secrecy”. Still, one can but ask.
Anyone at a VIC govt agency with IT managed by CenITex? I want to confirm some “problems” I’ve heard about. Anonymous. stil@stilgherrian.com
@jdub I think apostrophe mistakes are inexcusable at any hour, from a professional writer or editor. I can excuse problems of the colon.
@elerimai The monkey’s what? I know it’s Monday, but are you having apostrophe problems already? This does not bode well…
@saline Ah now, film rights! Now we’re talking! I do like Phillip Adams as the pro-Indian hacker leader. ;)
@hopeinhell @hopeinhell @posty I usually don’t remember my dreams. There is possibly a good reason for this.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis en collaboration avec Phillip Adams. Nous allons vaincre les pirates chinois!
I woke up before I heard all of the coded message. I still don’t know where Indian intelligence is hiding Kerry O’Brien. Fear. The end.
Adams droned on about the real causes of Global Financial crisis, but it was all really a code telling me where Kerry O’Brien was hidden.
Desk. My probes discovered the real hacker was Chinese. Adams’ program came on radio, but I didn’t listen. My injuries were too painful.
Adams then revealed himself as a pro-Indian hacker, and persuaded me to join him in finding the real hacker and save the missing O’Brien.
Phillip Adams warned me that I was suspected of being a hacker, trying to bring down Indian military computer networks. Hence, the stabbing.
Later, while driving along the place where the disused tram line used to run, I was given an unusual number to call. Phillip Adams answered.
In my dream, I stumbled across Kerry’s O’Brien’s secret car-park meeting with the Indian spy, and I was stabbed. Severely. Much slashage.
Emerges. I had a dream. And in my dream was Kerry O’Brien, a secluded car park, an Indian spy, a disused tram line and Phillip Adams.
In, and out, and down. [exit]
May I draw your attention to the Cyprus Wine & Food Festival at the Cyprus Club, Stanmore Rd? They have wine, food.
Mobile. Doing SEKRIT THINGS with SEKRIT PEOPLE on KKing St, Newtown. Well, shortly, anyway.
@BrynAU Yes, I should’ve said the “Background Briefing” streamed audio is there now, the MP3 etc comes later. http://bit.ly/nfgDZ
@Restlessworld @SkyeatRestless Good to see you both again, and a new business too? Good luck!
Breakfast: Wasabe peas. Do you see something wrong with this picture?
