“Computing in Melbourne: A Historical Tour” Sun 31 May! http://is.gd/Axh8 Looks suitably geeky.
Sun plan: Brunch at Marrickville Markets with @ApostrophePong; blog updates; prep; 7.15pm AEST “Stilgherrian Live Eurovision Special”.
@wolfcat True, music IS always the winner of #eurovision. Always.
Emerges. Minimal attention being paid so I don’t see any spoilers for #eurovision.

OH: “i’ve got emotional swine flu”, said with a sense of pride.
It’s a vortex, I tell you, a fucking vortex.
A MAP! Of Eurovision entries! Click on the country! Play the VIDEO! http://tr.im/lw3K MOAR CAPITAL LETTERS! #eurovision
Well, @SnarkyPlatypus and I have been doing research for tomorrow’s #eurovision program. WE HAVE A PLAN, MEIN FÃœHRER!
http://twitscoop.com/ is fun to watch while the #eurovision wave crosses Australia.
@nazzer What? You mean I’ve ALREADY transformed your perception of reality? AWESOME!
@DavidFeng For me, Alltop is just yet another “Let’s be a sheep and follow what everyone else is following bleat bleat bleat” site. Bleat.
RT from earlier: There’ll be a special Eurovision edition of “Stilgherrian Live” with @Nickhodge @mpesce @SnarkyPlatypus tomorrow night.
Oh this is GOLD! Alltop’s “Australian Twitterati” page can’t even spell my fuckin’ name right! http://tr.im/lvQr #copyandpastefail
@Nickhodge Well, erm, no, I have not seen any of the Austin Powers movies. At the time they did not appeal.
@NewtonMark But it’s EUROVISION! Random danger is ESSENTIAL! As are cleavage and… and… MOAR CLEAVAGE!
@Nickhodge Dude, I’m seriously not grokking the shark and laser beam connection. Please explain.
@Nickhodge Is there an appropriate place to hang a mirror ball in our Special Eurovision Studio tomorrow? Are there lasers?
Considering the relevant selection criteria for mirror balls. #eurovision
Where is he? I’m at the gym. He is not. #platypusfail
King St traffic jam in full effect, as usual.
Hey Punk Grrl! It’d be easier to ride your bike up that hill if you changed down a gear or two. #19thcenturytechnologyfail
Sat plan congeals: Departing now for gym & very late lunch w@SnarkyPlatypusypus; end of plan.
@michaelmeloni I know not @mpesce’s Eurovisionesque knitwear. I shall try to persuade him.
@PeterBlackQUT The SBS TV coverage starts 7.30pm Sydney time, so I’m guessing we’ll start slightly before that to settle in. #eurovision
It appears that there’ll be a special Eurovision edition of “Stilgherrian Live” with @Nickhodge @mpesce @SnarkyPlatypus tomorrow night.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis complètement rempli de porc et des nouilles.Et vous?
@viveka I’m actually getting frustrated with Link, ‘cos some of the folks seem stuck in old models of how the Internet “should” be done.
Plan changed! Now at Enmore Delicious Roll for pho. They’ve also got a sausage sizzle going out front.
Heading to Le Bake on Enmore Rd for breakfast with @ApostrophePong. Attention reduced.
@tdm911 Exactly. It’s not just about “backing up data”, it’s about “continuing service”. Data is useless if you can’t process it.
RT @tdm911: I think the biggest issue most businesses face with respect to outages is simply power. Unless you have distributed resources.
@viveka Thanks. I wrote further commentary on “Clouded Vision” at http://tr.im/lumn
@middleclassgirl Yes, my last tweet was perfectly-formed grammatical English, if awkward for its repetition of “systems”.
Is Google’s outage more or less likely than an equivalent outage on YOUR systems, given your current systems and contingency plans?
