@SnarkyPlatypus Pantalon est en train de changer aussi difficile que de changer les trains?
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis sur le point d’assister à un sénateur sur la vidéo, de sorte que je porte des pantalons. Et vous?
Dear Twitterverse, what’s a good way (widget?) to add a list of forthcoming engagements, with links, to a WordPress blog like mine?
@ozdj @fridley I am, indeed, a dolphin. Nearly. http://tr.im/kGts
Sen Kate Lundy’s “High Bandwidth for Australia” http://tr.im/kGjJ is 9am AEST, stream at http://tr.im/kGjM #publicsphere
@fridley “A bird pretending to be cat?” How do you know I’m not a cat pretending to be a bird?
@retrogrrl Apollo is the opposite. All 6.5kg of him stands in a prominent place and SHOUTS his DEMANDS FOR ATTENTION! He has good lungs.
Emerges. “Miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow,” it says.
It is late. I am SO fit from the gym I’ll burst soon. I’d better go. [exit]
@suziam So, not all #minidriver people are interested in firewarms. Who knew? :) OK, we have a slot open. I will pursue tomorrow.
@suziam You may be a #minidriver but do you want to go target shooting one weekend? #cowshot
@babyexpat More than a feast! A whole cow is like half a ton of meat.
Maybe we need to recruit another MINI driver so all 12 shooters arrive therein.
Botheration. He didn’t succumb. OK, I’m off to gym & dinner w@SnarkyPlatypusypus. Attention reduction procedures initiated.
@babyexpat Shooting a cow seems remarkably unsporting and… well… boring. They just stand there. You shoot. Plop.
@infoholic I haven’t created this week’s “Cnut of the Week” page yet, but will do tomorrow at http://stilgherrian.com I need minions.
@Wyane In Bangkok there’s a military-style shooting range right on Silom Road. I’ll try it next time I’m there. Yes, easier than Australia.
Anyone thinking of joining us for shooting should check the P650 form http://tr.im/kC5c to save embarrassment if they’re ineligible.
@paininthenet We’re doing the Try Shooting program. http://tr.im/kC4n Booking a private date once I know when #secretmission is.
@mrsnickhodge Oh @SnarkyPlatypus was up for it too. There’s 6. So six more shooters and we have our private session. With guns.
@paininthenet No, I don’t think you get to choose your own victim. Which is a shame, I know, but there you have it.
@Nickhodge @mrsnickhodge @yin_yin @ApostrophePong The shooting range confirms that if we have 12+ people we can choose our own date/time.
@rbuerckner It shouldn’t need regedit to fix an association between a MIME type and a program. Surely that’s done within the browser config?
@wraptinweb @rbuerckner Indeed, I’ve tried the stream with VLC as well as Quicktime and it works fine. But for tomorrow all’s good.
@rbuerckner One day you’ll have to explain to me how a computer can do ANYTHING without “installing software”. ;)
@rbuerckner The stream is Quicktime MPEG-4 H.264 video / AAC audio. Got Quicktime installed?
Shit! The Australian Sex Party (political party) is at http://sexparty.ORG.au The .com.au site is a different kind of sex party. Oops.
Sen Kate Lundy’s broadband forum tomorrow http://tr.im/kBMe will be streamed at http://tr.im/kBMg and they’d like people to test it now.
@willhughes Your query about whether @stop supports #fisting is even funnier now that I know the real @stop is creative director at Twitter.
@Mediamum Well as long as you HAVE a phone, even if you don’t answer it, then yes obviously you have a LOT in common with @stop members.
I think I might form Sydney Telephone Owners Posse (@stop). Get together with people in Sydney who also, like, HAVE A PHONE!
@sydneytweetup Hi. What’s your differentiator from @stub and from, well, anyone just saying “Who wants to go to the pub tonight”?
@ApostrophePong There’s a storyboard template in Apple Pages, but it sounds that you more need a stylus/tablet for quick sketches?
@duncanriley Happy Birthday @theinquisitr! If you’re that badly behaved as an infant, may the gods help us when you hit puberty!
@mpesce “Listening to ‘Kashmir’”? Is that code for “I’ve had too much hashish”?
@jg_rat I agree. There’s nothing better than hurling an infected corpse over the walls to focus attention. http://tr.im/kB3a
@healthengine NSW health “under siege”? It was a technical failure. No-one was at the gates with trebuchet. Enough tabloid clichés!
RT @seancarmody: That’s unexpected! Australian retail sales up 2.2% for March. Consensus was only 0.5%.
@trib I can see a serious need for non-patronising but non-jargon orientation sessions for politicians. #publicsphere
@trib You’re right about the “preaching to the choir” aspects. If they’re watching a streaming seminar, they’re already here. #publicsphere
Q for Judy: How DO we get politicians to listen to people outside their traditional circle of advisors? To talk directly? #publicsphere
@tom_worthington How do we encourage the actual politicians to put in the effort to learn? Overcome their egos? #publicsphere
@piawaugh Maybe the process is 1 to 3 “official” outward tweeters, known well in advance so people can follow? #publicsphere
Stick AND carrot? Do we need to emphasise it’s politicians’ JOB to improve their performance, just like everyone else. #publicsphere
Disappointed. Folks tweeting #publicsphere are repeating speakers outwards, instead of contributing inwards. Anyone can already watch.
Dear Apollo, maybe you should have done your farts BEFORE deciding to curl up on my lap. Well before.
@BeerAndSport The #publicsphere stream works fine for me on a 12Mb link here in Sydney. I’m not running it. ;) @piawaugh?
Notice how that even though it’s a “raw” feel, #publicsphere is already more authentic than Tanner & Conroy’s over-produced failblog.
@babycakesjase Hmmm… I didn’t make a rule against entering again, so I guess you can, indeed, enter again. http://tr.im/kGQo
@einspruch I haven’t been told where #secretmission is yet. They’re playing with my mind. @FiBendall is slightly evil.
Sen Kate Lundy’s “High Bandwidth for Australia” http://tr.im/kGjJ is 9am (nearly now), stream at http://tr.im/kGjM #publicsphere
Since there’s a “Stilgherrian Live”, nominations are open for “Cnut of the Week”. THERE’S A PRIZE! http://tr.im/kGQo
Thu plan: Watch Senator Lundy’s seminar; lunch somewhere on King St; an afternoon of “paperwork” at my desk; 9.30pm “Stilgherrian Live”.
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: Pants off to work. [It does look like he’s changed professions.]
