Disappearing into DNS zone-file-editing land for a while…
It is a complete failure of western society that it’s even necessary to explain these things to adults.
Of course yes @SoniaLastrega some people refuse to be surveyed if asked, so there’s that bias. But that’s a way smaller issue.
Chaps @NathanaelB @SnarkyPlatypus @trib ALL self-selected polls are useless, full stop. Anyone reporting them is a fool or a fraud.
@deptofinternets Google CEO Schmidt talked founders Brin/Page into the China business. Now Brin has decided enough is enough, it seems.
Wed plan: Start migrating a client’s hosting; write a guest blog post; sort another client’s email; evening TBA.
@kcarruthers There’s two art supply stores on Oxford St, one opposite Darlinghurst Rd, one next to COFA.
@jeffjarvis There’s a back story. Sen Conroy said he was talking to Google about filtering YouTube. Google very publicly said no way.
@jeffjarvis No argument here about scary Rudd government proposals and importance of free speech. I’d love to have it written into law. :)
@jeffjarvis News story at http://bit.ly/cb11Ek and Google’s submission on Australia’s “filter” at http://bit.ly/8YORK9
But an aside, @jeffjarvis, check the last 60 secs of this for an astounding attack on Google by Senator Conroy. http://bit.ly/df2sUS
@jeffjarvis “Google’s principles are now the default”? I’m not sure that government by for-profit corporation is a path I’d like to follow.
I agree that Google pulling out of China shows some principle, @jeffjarvis, but aren’t you assuming a privileged Western view of “internet”?
Oh @jeffjarvis you sensitive possum, I’m just wondering if “internet users” is a coherent “us” that is indeed represented by Google.
@deptofinternets Oh @jeffjarvis’ endless praise of Google is tiresome, but I’m more interested in the “we’re all internet citizens” angle.

@SnarkyPlatypus Est-ce que votre douleur affectent nos plans aujourd’hui? Nous pourrions faire autre chose. http://bit.ly/Su2wE
“Google is our ambassador”, says @jeffjarvis http://bit.ly/9d3JNb But is “us” / the internet really a unified constituency?
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je crois que vous être en mai plus de douleur que moi ce matin, mais je mai approcher.
I know @duncanriley it’s quite late for me and I’m… appalled, quite frankly. Just appalled.

Vomiting on the railway station platform is always such a good look for a Tuesday night.
It is so good to be vastly not the fattest person in the room, both in margin and ranking.
Recording done, food being consumed. At Byteside.
On stage, doing audio checks, at Byteside.
@Reemski For maps / stats of broadband penetration, try ACMA and DBCDE reports.
Wandering slowly to Byteside. http://bit.ly/uOLWs Attention decreasing.
It would be really lame to say “Google Maps” has been fun, or an MP3 ID 3 tag editor. Am I really that boring? Don’t answer that.
Hmmm… On Byteside @seamus will ask me what tech thing has been turning me on lately. There has been a gap in my life. Any suggestions?

Why yes, young man, I can see why you’re phoning in sick to work: you’re way too stoned and going skateboarding with your mate.
I tell you what, things would be very different around here if I were a Japanese schoolgirl.

@mr_crash Erm, that’s not what you asked. :) But then with the other question I’d still have mocked you for not just going to the website.
Here @mr_crash this may help! http://tinyurl.com/yhehn…
