@jamezpolley No, I am not falling into your logic trap there. I simply will not.
@SnarkyPlatypus Non non non! Je crois que c’était le vin rouge qui a induit le désespoir. Nous avons besoin de la vodka.
In my dream, we killed the wrong people while making a TV commercial. Apparently it would’ve been OK if we killed the right people.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je pense que les gens de moutons comme choisir de ne pas se tenir pleinement informés. Je désespère. Et vous?
Still, “Sensible refinement of existing emergency-power laws” doesn’t make for a good headline, does it?
There is NO (new) “internet kill switch” in this US law. http://bit.ly/90oxxd Ping @duncanriley
Sat plan: AM reading and maybe even writing; 1100 record for “Patch Monday”; PM eventually to gym & post-gym activities, as is my routine.
New blog post: “Weekly Wrap 3” http://bit.ly/cRQnq4 which comes with a soundtrack http://youtu.be/V8l5fthf…
@firstdogonmoon Blip bleeple blip blip. Beep blipple blipple blip blip. Bleeeeep blip?
George Orwell’s birthday was yesterday for Aussies, but you can still watch “Animal Farm” free. http://youtu.be/NZldlyeR…
Emerges, more or less. More less than more, though.
Noticing how much I was sucking up to my commissioning editors earlier. It’s Friday. I can’t help myself.
Now now @deconstructo @darkstardeity I can’t reveal “Patch Monday” until Monday. ;)
Well that was a MOST interesting conversation about Sen Conroy and Sen Lundy, and you can hear it in “Patch Monday” on, erm, Monday.
Home.
Ah. Re-scheduled for 5.30pm. That means I can head home via the bottle shop and do it from there. Home, not the bottle shop.
Pondering the wisdom of scheduling an interview recording for 5pm on a Friday. Still, I’ve only had the one bottle of cabernet merlot.
What is this @franmolloy? The Good Editor award? (closes in next hour) http://tinyurl.com/3a5pp… But it’s Friday!
@jonoabroad Ah, you seem to understand my strategy. Yes, commissioning editors who commission things are delightful indeed.
All of my commissioning editors are the most delightful people. That is all.
NEWS FLASH! @vealmince is a cynic!
Excellent. The next “Patch Monday” podcast will cover both the Cyber Safety report and the chances of Sen Lundy replacing Sen Conroy.
Mobile: Enmore Rd; King St; lunch (late again); afternoon writing spot to make SEKRIT plans which are SEKRIT.
@rod3000 Commiserations on the last day of New Matilda. http://bit.ly/3Q71GY Will the content remain online as a read-only archive?
@drueyjay Well indeed, some of what I do IS straight-up journalism. I’m not fussed by labels, just amused by “blogger”.
Viocorp Future Forum webcast “The Future of News Reporting” Fri 9 July http://bit.ly/9A8B7x Apparently I’m a “blogger”.
Hah @AdelSali! I already wrote “No wonder the cyber criminals are winning” for ABC Unleashed http://bit.ly/8XEy5B
Wondering what to discuss in this week’s “Patch Monday” podcast. The Cyber Crime report? Any suggestions? I am your puppet!
@bastardsheep This was said a short time ago during the PM’s current media conference. I assume a transcript will be posted somewhere later.
@GreenJ Oh don’t underestimate the power of the teapot vote! If it weren’t Friday, there’d even be a witty sentence right at this point.
Dear PM Gillard, how DARE you imply that only “families” get up in the morning and work hard. How fucking dare you.
