Kieran Tranter (Sen Lecturer, School of Law, Griffith Uni) begins: “Leviathans of Dune: Frank Herbert’s Thanatology of Sovereignty” #sogikii
Bugger it. There is now a LIVEBLOG from SoGikII at http://tr.im/nQsR and I’ll start it in moments. #sogikii
@andrewdotnich The haiku version is good. If the projection screen wasn’t blocking the ocean view I’d haiku about that. Perhaps. #sogikii
I have power, I have Bluetooth, I has Internets, I have coffee. Table is set for 22 people. This’ll be fun. #sogikii
Sunlight on dewdrops. Bleary post-long-weekend students. Maples with just a few leaves left at the start of winter.
Mobile. In a cab.
Tue plan: At SoGikII conference at Coogee all day. http://tr.im/nQ8F I speak at 4pm. I may tweet or liveblog, or not. #sogikii
I’m very pleased to say that my presentation is coming together quite well. Half an hour until the can arrives. #sogikii
Emerges. Early, yes. A presentation to finish, plus other things to do before an all-day conference.
Home. [exit]
That said, there IS something invigorating about sending sternly-worded legal threats backed up by self-righteousness and documentation.
@flashman @Ben_Nimrod This is a small business to which I happen to provide Internet Hosting. So it’s AUP reminder time. Sternly.
Emailing a client to tell them their marketing email breaches the Spam Act 2003 and this is their first and final warning.
@courtney_gibson It’s good to know that I can be a source of reassurance in these troubled times. [nods] [bows]
Why am I feeling like I’m missing something truly important by not watching “Today Tonight” and “A Current Affair”? I must be sick.
@DDsD @bryceroney Oh good, talking about Bonox is capturing the public imagination! ;)
I see they still sell Bonox. http://tr.im/nL2h
Googling photos of topless women isn’t a good look in public, even at the pub, even if it IS research for my presentation. #sogikii
@gabfran It’s only a 15-minute presentation (2000 words) and based on blog discussions, so too easy. ;) #sogikii
Crikey article pretty much done. Migrated to The Afternoon Office™ to sketch out the SoGiKII presentation over a quiet ale.
@mpesce Thank you. At least tomorrow’s SoGiKII presentation is only 15 minutes, and based largely on The Gnome Incident. Easy.
Mon (remainder) plan: Write presentation for SoGiKII (tomorrow!) http://tr.im/nJJt; write a Crikey story; maybe relaxation, if possible.
New blog post (and Project TOTO update): “This ain’t no holiday!” http://tr.im/nJIU Long and rambling, with pictures. #toto
