Thu plan (D-1): Spend a long, long day preparing for tomorrow’s departure for Tanzania. Tanzania? See http://tr.im/pErY for details. #toto
“Is social computing just increasing our anxiety?” http://tr.im/pErd Ta, @kcarruthers.
@SnarkyPlatypus C’est une bonne façon de commencer la journée, je suis d’accord. http://is.gd/1cqJD Mais “apaisante” n’est pas le mot juste.
@SnarkyPlatypus Non, ce ne sera pas à apaiser mon âme. http://is.gd/1cpmy Il provoque l’irritation des intestins.
Shotgun discharged. Both barrels. Metaphorically. “Now we can all get some sleep.” [Cryptic, I know, but it’s for the SEKRIT PEOPLES!]
@SnarkyPlatypus Je suis rempli d’un sentiment de l’imminence de malheur. Et pas que des en @TurnbullMalcolm. Et vous?
A solid breakfast will prevent me strangling people. Off to Le bake on Enmore Rd.
Emerges.
Home. Tired. [exit]
Mobile to King St and SEKRIT DINNER.
Cab driver lecturing me about the evils of Muslims, using “evidence” from talkback radio . He needs slapping. Or more.
Security brief by phone as I walk: Beware, hippos aren’t chubby fun, but very dangerous, kill more than others combined. #toto
At ActionAid Australia office, about to demonstrate their new blog thingy. #toto
Mobile. Enmore Rd / Newtown back streets / Parramatta Rd / 1500 meeting at ActionAid. attention limited. #toto
Permilla has spotted a couple nice cartoons about Twittering from Iran. http://tr.im/pxpF
“The Commodore 64 vs the iPhone 3G S: The Ultimate Showdown” http://tr.im/pxi1 Hat-tip to somebody, it scrolled past. Maybe @neerav.
Anyway, I’ve decided. I will indeed buy a Moleskine before I leave. This well-planned wanker thanks you all for your advice. #toto
@Warlach @Emesel The rip-out pages of a Visual Diary are good, but I specifically want pages NOT to go missing. #toto
Oh look! @ThePlasticAge is right. It’s “Moleskine” with an E. Clearly I’m not up with the necessary Cool Factor there! #toto
MYSTARY: Thuraya sat phone says “Service not provisioned”. Optus database says USIM IS provisioned and active. Grrr. #toto
@Heckleriser A wind-up OLPC XO would be cool, except it’s yet another piece of hardware to carry. I must trim down, not build up. #toto
OK, a very clear consensus there. A Moleskin makes me BOTH a good planner and a wanker. And white. Which I am. http://tr.im/pxeE #toto
If I get a Moleskin notebook for writing notes when I have no electricity, does that make me: 1. A good planner? 2. A wanker? #toto
Thanks to Telstra, Tanzania has another two new multimedia phones: a LG KF700Q and a MotoRazr V3xx. Ta, @JonoH! #toto
The big challenge for next 48 hours is making sure everyone focuses on tasks in the right order and FINISHES them. #toto
Wed plan (D-2, belated): Get all #TOTO info online so it’s accessible; 1500 meeting at ActionAid re them blogging; a million urgent tasks.

RT @SylviaDiscount: Have just found a flute on the kitchen table. Have no idea where it comes from. [Is that a euphemism for something…?]
@laurenbugeja @NereadersDigest @acatinatree Yes, I have read the warnings. Nausea. Psychosis. Alien invasion. Cheesecake. I think. #toto
@wonderwebby I’ll be in Tanzania for just 8 days, but it’s an intense schedule. http://tr.im/pwP4 More details posted later today. #toto
@burningdeck Yes, and I’ll stay out of the sun. I’m following ALL the medical advice, even the completely conflicting bits. #toto
RT @stephenconroy: Are you a business woman? Are you white? You could win a Telstra Business Women’s Award; http://is.gd/1biE6 [Oh dear!]
@curious_scribe Yes, stay upright for 2 hours after dosing. Also, a slight chance of psychosis but, like, how would I tell? #toto
Antimalarial: Doxycycline 100mg. Take during or immediately after a meal with a full glass of milk or water while standing. #toto
@mpesce I’m not sure what caused my ill sleep. I’m generally short of sleep, seriously, but then faded badly 0600-0930. [shrugs] #toto
@ApostrophePong Just because you have your own personal cat poo dump to look at doesn’t mean it has to be shared. Sharing has limits.
