@glengyron I kinda think all the positions on this were well explored 2 or 3 weeks ago, actually.
@glengyron While this whole #telstradesire thing seems to be a bugbear for you, I should mention that it was never presented as news.
Journalists complains about everything, @WoollyMittens, it’s in the job description.
Two Chinese-Australian geeks discuss gaming controllers. Two middle-aged lesbians discuss home renovations. A normal trainload.
They stand at Stanmore like scattered sheep http://post.ly/j6rT
Mobile: Stanmore station; Town Hall station; Hilton Hotel.
Fri plan: Write for Crikey (done); decode cryptic message; 0900 interview in Sydney CBD; a day of writing, details TBA.
No @Zombie_Plan cat hats only improve writing if the cat is gutted first, otherwise your head doesn’t fit into it.
@SnarkyPlatypus “Donnez-Xanax au chat?” Je pense que je pourrais avoir un peu de moi-même!
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis un arbre, au moins selon les mammifères aléatoire. Hemingway n’a jamais eu ce problème. Et vous?
No, Apollo, my writing is NOT improved if you climb up to sit on my head.
It would be much easier to write this article if Apollo, a 6kg cat, didn’t demand constant reminders that he’s still my centre of attention.

Another fine @johnemcintyre post, on “the Narrative” and journalism http://bit.ly/dvliuU
Near-emerges.
And that’s enough of Thursday. [exit]
Sophos’ Paul Ducklin rips into this supposed “iPad worst security breach” rubbish http://bit.ly/9f7R2t
Thank you @johnemcintyre for another sensible swipe at the self-righteous. Love the vampire reference, and agree. http://bit.ly/9FtGYU
Oh yes, @leadegroot, we must reinforce the lie that we live in some dangerous crime wave. Sigh.
In NSW, 16 of 17 crime categories were stable or fell in 24 months to Mar 2010. How will this be reported tomorrow? http://bit.ly/bzWPrR
Attempting to unwind early so I can sleep early so I can wake up early and deal with my stupidly double-booked morning. Warm and horizontal.
@dananimal This is the old post office I mean. http://bit.ly/c45QRR Needs care and attention, but it won’t get it.
The old Enmore post office, @dananimal? It’s used by charity Our Lady of the Snows as a storeroom / working base. Not maintained. Sad.
No @stuarthorrex there is zero parking by Pho Sure, unless you wanna park-crash the Anglican church next door. So foot traffic only.
Agreed, @iphoon, Enmore Delicious Roll does good cheap pho, and it’s by the post office and other shops where I go every day. They win.
Nah @Mediacrocy @stuarthorrex people have noodles where it’s in the midst of their other activities. That corner you walk past fast.
Home.
Pho Sure, Enmore, will fail http://post.ly/j2O3
Girls on film.
Can roast pumpkin soup counteract my desire to stab people? We shall soon find out.
Oh, I think I just double-booked my Friday morning. Silly me.
A gimlet comes to mind, @ordinarytanya @mspecht @expectproblems http://bit.ly/5pBieF
RT @expectproblems:Now you’re making me want a cocktail. [I fail to see the problem here, Rohan.]
True @fridley @expectproblems @mspecht I give you “A civilised breakfast” http://bit.ly/9yGpyq
Hmmm… It’s 4pm and they’ve ordered cocktails. Too early?
Mobile: Enmore Rd; King St; lunch and local errands; I should create a keyboard shortcut for this; afternoon reading/writing spot.
@glengyron That said, it seems like I won’t be able to make you happy whatever I say, so I wonder whether I should bother.
@glengyron I’ll respond to all that when I do my wrap-up post. Twitter is not the best medium for this sort of discussion.
