Disappointed with the number of typing errors in recent tweets.
@sydneyflaneur Oh, you still use Facebook? How quaint.
@Gibbot5000 Hah! Linking is not a matter of manners. I’m just a little obsessed with making tweets work out of context. It’s an insecurity.
@Gibbot5000 Thanks. Crikey articles are always written in a rush, so I’m glad my Telstra/NBN piece worked for you. http://bit.ly/9HmAN7
If you’re desperate to hear ALL of the Telstra conference call to analysts/media this morning, try http://bit.ly/dy3ybJ
Devouring a kangaroo helps immensely. I am now surrendering to the Pleasures of the Grape. They too shall help.
@Nickhodge Train? Some wimp-pop bank. Their fans should be afraid of the pubs. I will bark at them.
Mobile: Enmore Rd, for local errands, dinner and a quiet drink. Alas, there’s a gig at the Enmore Theatre, so this plan may fail.
@SnarkyPlatypus “World weariness” is not the emotion that hits ME during a bowel examination. Just to be clear.
@expectproblems While a knock-off drink is always in order, I have a severe case of CBF this evening. Maybe food will help.
@SnarkyPlatypus So it takes 9 hours to co from colonoscopy to ennui? I believe that calls for a diagram!
Deciding what to do for dinner, and whether that should be preceded by a knock-off drink.

Me in Crikey: “NBN not over the line yet” http://bit.ly/9HmAN7 Includes rough summary of Telstra deal.
OK, heads down again as I disappear into studio mode for the rest of the afternoon. See you on the flipside.
@carolduncan NBN fibre will start at 100Mb/sec, but you’ll be able to buy slower speeds. Speed is easily upgradeable tho too.
@carolduncan And then compare the numbers by giving examples, e.g. can stream 1 x poor audio or 2 x HD video, or download times.
@carolduncan “Super fast broadband” is meaningless. What’s “fast” today is “slow” tomorrow. Use actual megabits per second.
THERE IS NO SUCH UNIT OF MEASUREMENT AS “SUPER-FAST” BROADBAND YOU FUCKING ARSEHATS! Not even from Telstra or the NBN.
Telstra shares up around 4% http://bit.ly/cmjVh3
