@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Tout est brillant et magnifique. Comme … comme quoi? Je ne suis pas sûr!
I further assert that breakfast will take place at 8am, not 8pm, at Cafe XXII, Union Square, Ultimo. #cebit Hat-tip @zhasper
Thu plan: 0800 Cafe XXII, Ultimo; WebForward@CeBIT conference http://tr.im/lhtk all day; 2130 AEST “Stilgherrian Live”.
Old news for some, but humans astronauts now tweet, not just robots. See in-space @Astro_Mike and (currently) earthbound @Astro_127.
@JessicaD I do line the descriptor “linegoat”. I sounds like a combination of, well line dancing and goats! How can this fail?

Emerges. It’s Overload Day Three. #cebit

Oh dear. Too many weird responses from earlier. I have no energy for such frivolity. I have things tomorrow.
Home. The gym causes pain. That’d be stress, lack of sleep, still fighting off the cold. Also, melons.
“Pushing the legs! Pushing the legs! Finish strong!” What does that even MEAN?
What is it with some mothers who use their pusher (American: stroller) as a battering ram?
Anyway, I’m now going to meet @SnarkyPlatypus for the gym etc. You minions can sort of breakfast and notify my people. #cebit
RT @photo_journ: Lucky those Afghanis were caught by #Indonesian. If they were caught by #Thailand they’d be swimming or worse now :(
@Nickhodge Also, yes, I think 8am would be better. Then we could pretend to be interested in the non-us bits of #cebit
@Nickhodge You’re at Microsoft? Don’t you have an Internet thingy that answers questions like “Where the fuck is that?”?
@nazzer 9am seems fairly late for breakfast, I reckon, but I’m renown for my flexibility and tolerance. #cebit
@Nickhodge There seems to be a consensus (of two) for Cafe CXXII on Union Square, Ultimo. 9am, you say? #cebit
@thegrenville @wolfcat Even in Newtown, they (we?) do not cook babies. Unless it’s a very special occasion.
Walking home via back streets as night falls. Cooking smells waft into Newtown laneways from well-kept terrace homes. A baby cries.
@Nickhodge I’m up for a pre-CeBIT breakfast tomorrow. The trick is a decent cafe near Darling Harbour. #cebit
RT @archielaw: How on earth will we find enough room in this country to absorb 28 Afghans believed to be on their way to Australia?
Oh. A key item in my #secretmission meeting just then was “cultural sensitivity”. I’m their man, eh? Ahem.
@DavidFeng I somehow feel that I’m about to be harmonised within an inch of my life. ;)
@SilkCharm Ta for the RT of @ev. Why should lame-arsed American concepts of “profanity” be imposed on others? Cultural imperialist cunts!
@ev “We try to take profanity out of trending but would never censor.” Um, the DEFINITION of “censor” is “to suppress unacceptable content”.
Leaving #cebit for a #secretmission meeting, after which I hope at least some facts will be less SEKRIT. Such as the goats’ names.
Paul Budde says main cost of NBN is digging holes, not fibre or modems. Contracts shoukd go to construction firms, not telcos. #cebit
God there are some disappointingly ugly people on this planet.
@stokely “Strange journalist” is possibly a tautology. Also, I’m not a journalist. Or am I?
@obliviousgeek I thought I might indeed go to WebForward given that, as I’ve tweeted and blogged for days, I’m on the program. ;) #cebit
Mobile. Enmore Rd / Newtown station / Town Hall station / CeBIT. ETA 1200.
Ta to people who said http://budget.gov.au worked for them and http://finance.gov.au was faster. I’m guessing everyone’s got copies now.
