@JonoH Ah, video phones for TZ courtesy of Telstra eh? Thanks! I’ll be hooking them in before I go! #toto
@kimbowa Well yes, I meant using your own device for “government communication” rather than just buying it. #publicsphere
@firstdogonmoon seems to have also captured the essence of Utegate. http://tr.im/phxH
@jeamland I believe, however, that I’m the only person to have ever used the word “MMWCBNBHDSGITS”. ;)
@chieftech @NewtonMark @jdub Buying a netbook and 3G means you breach the govt ICT Security Manual. http://tr.im/phw0 #publicsphere
I suspect that’s the first time that word’s appeared on a screen in Parliament House too. ;) Now, for my next trick… #publicsphere
“What happens in the cockring collaboration”? WTF? Oh, hang on, the “Cochrane Collaboration”. Sorry. Misheard. #publicsphere
Has someone got a book running on whether @TurnbullMalcolm will still have a job in the morning? #utegate
A most important issue in Utegate has been ignored! Does the ute have a toolbox and kelpie? If not, Rudd’s just a toy.
Yay! Can has satellite phonez! More details to come. #toto
The newly-bought can of Italian mackerel was great on a sandwich. Artemis agrees, even if her paws are now covered in fish oil.
RT @dobes: It’s not funny cos it is true: http://imgur.com/gQouk.j… [Yes, it’s the New Journalism!]
I so want a headline to appear saying “Swan makes Turnbull look like a goose”. Honk!
@shermozle @BernardKeane Now, is anyone’s understanding of politics enhanced by showing the emails in a pretend computer window?
Crikey story filed! Time to put some pants on, I reckon!
@BernardKeane I like the way the email text conveniently wraps around the guy’s head. They must’ve known it’d end up in the paper.
Egad! Do these emails look fake? What sort of email system even looks like this? http://twitpic.com/82dw5 Ta, @BernardKeane!
I’m fairly sure that the diamond saw cutting concrete outside my office will not help me finish my Crikey article to deadline. Poo.
There’s also something reassuring about a Senator telling us to “keep tweeting”. Thank you, @KateLundy. http://tr.im/pgAn #publicsphere
@OneRedSock Getting used to “Africa time” will be tough. I used to be a broadcaster. Everything is timed to the second. #toto
Anyway, I’ll blog about the draft tentative program later today. I have a little yarn to write for Crikey first, and it has no ute. #toto
@SnarkyPlatypus I also notice the draft tentative program has things written into my unbilled rest days. Ahem. #toto
Oh, I’ve just been sent a “draft tentative program” for Tanzania. I wonder what it’ll become next, just “draft” or just “tentative”? #toto
New blog post: “Evidence of the Farewell Party” http://tr.im/podZ Yes, photos. #toto
Tue plan (D-3): Work gently thru my pre-departure tasks for Project TOTO, posting bloggily as I go; maybe drinkies at 5pm. #toto
@trib Your tweet has too many words. http://tr.im/pnLJ It could just read “The Australian misses the point entirely.” Full stop. ;)
Photos from Saturday’s farewell party are starting to appear in the Project TOTO Flickr group. http://tr.im/pnKv Please add yours! #toto
RT @JohnBirmingham: US pubs had to print another run of ‘Weapons of Choice’. Giving it away as a free e-book increased sales of hardcopy.
@SnarkyPlatypus Les chats ont de la chance. Il fait froid pour aller pêcher. Ils se italien maquereau premier lieu.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Tout est un peu floue, et il n’ya pas de poisson. Et vous?
Emerges.

Home, but not as unconscious as I pretended I would get. It is only Monday, after all.
Mobile. Enmore Rd / King St / @SnarkyPlatypus / gym / dinner / loss of dignity / loss of consciousness / WIN!
@st0rmy_au Yes, http://is.gd/190Sh is the bird in question. @ApostrophePong has sounds from http://is.gd/190Tc as his ringtones.
You’d think that in the 21st Century we’d have self-balancing spin dryers. Even I’m more balanced than this!
@st0rmy_au I may have mis-identified the lapwing/plover, I did so by sound alone. But yes, their eggs-on-lawn technique is now full of fail.
@SnarkyPlaypus The Perky Kiwi is on holiday. There is a white-haired Canadian instead. I resist mentioning polar bears, obviously. [Fixed.]
Masked lapwing, several of. http://tr.im/piqF
Fried capsicum.
@ericscheid It is indeed Thrive Chiro, but Kieran appears not to be here any more. There are cockatoos screeching in the street though.
Mobile. Enmore Rd / Newtown station / Kings Cross station / 1600 chiropractor Potts Point. On a magnificently clear sunny winter afternoon!
