Ah @BernardKeane the “wit of the staircase” or “esprit d’escalier” is a glorious phrase! I shall try to use it in a sentence.
ACMA has just release a snapshot report on IPTV and internet video in Australia http://bit.ly/c57pua
@jasonlangenauer Maybe the entire Coalition front bench would be better if mapped onto the cast of Rocky Horror… Well, I can dream…
RT @mrPOWer: It’s called a Tintiddle: A witty retort you wish you had made but thought of too late. http://bit.ly/bHiuao [Thank you!]
Hmmm… Why does one always think of a better snarky line five minutes after filing the story?
RT @mrgrumpystephen: I pledge to vote Liberal, if Abbott commits to becoming Australia’s first transvestite PM. [Won’t his deputy do?]
I need to find a different SEKRIT Sydney CBD eyrie, one that has a bar.
ABC Unleashed story filed! I think this one might annoy a few people. Ping @GreenJ and break out, erm, the chilled water.
OK, I’m now in my SEKRIT Sydney CBD eyrie, in precisely the right bitter frame of mind to write well. Stand by for action!
RT @franksting: We need to celebrate Fatboy Slim, random numbers and #SMEG [As long as the random numbers are BIG and out of context.]
“Social Media Day”? You’ve got to be joking! What the fuck FOR?
@trib The two paragraphs certainly need some policy work to reconcile the differences, but they’re not unworkable.
I’m tempted to say that anyone lobbying on #nocleanfeed who hasn’t already read those two documents isn’t really in the game.
On the ALP cyber safety policy, compare 2009 party platform, pars 92 & 60 http://bit.ly/doMqQk
@grum Surely people know that we don’t really care about followers, that it’s all a shallow pretense? Are they really that foolish?
Wed plan (revised): To King St for lunch now; to SEKRIT Sydney CBD eyrie to do some writing; Darlinghurst errand; dinner.
Of course paid-for tweets will be marked as such, @grum, the Trade Practices Act requires it. ;)
@tristankenney Naturally I advise you to give @crikey_news lots of money so they can continue to hire such talented staff and contributors.
I wouldn’t read too much into the ALP deleting the policy from their website, @einspruch, it’s standard for them to remove old.
Since the ALP deleted it from their site, “Labor’s Plan for Cyber Safety, November 2007” http://bit.ly/cjzJ1P
Australian Senate inquiry into online privacy, submissions close 23 July http://bit.ly/9RxEkz
RT @martin_english: It would be scarier if she had a different one !! [I cannot argue against this thesis.]
The consensus is “disc is cheap, keep everything”. I must admit I do find myself moving away from the urge to horde, though.
Pondering whether to keep all the working files for old podcast episodes. If I haven’t needed them in nearly a year, do I need them at all?
@jasonlangenauer I can say that international to domestic at LAX in 2h 20m was a bit tight, but inbound to US is MOAR TRICKIER.
Thu plan: New financial year paperwork; audio editing for Patch Monday; haircut & local errands; a spot of writing; early night, in theory.
@SnarkyPlatypus Have you pondering starting a blog? ;)

@jeffsonstein I had no choice.
@jeffsonstein If by “keep them warm” you mean “endure them forcing me into uncomfortable sleeping positions”, then yes. I think.
@SnarkyPlatypus J’ai toujours méritent un prix. Je suis spéciale.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. J’ai découvert une nouvelle relation mathématique: des températures plus basses est égale à plus de chats. Et vous?
Emerges, surrounded by felines seeking warmth.

@wiredjazz Oh IIRC it was someone else’s “towed the line” that triggered my comment. Still, you should indeed feel guilty.
@bruceyeah Considering that further, almost anything can be “shared on Facebook”. I’ll have to look at the context tomorrow.
@bruceyeah I appreciate your comments, though, ‘cos it illustrates how difficult it is to explain all the concepts.
@bruceyeah The PS3/PlayTV mistake is a howler, but iView videos do have a “share” button that includes Facebook, Twtter etc.
@wiredjazz Why? What did you do?
Home.
@Chesty48 When you’ve had ministerial staff serve out personal abuse over almost 30 years, a bit of harmless fun is, erm, harmless fun.
@jdub @chest48 “Troll”? Me?
Mobile: Emerging onto Pitt St; errand to Oxford St then back to… somewhere to read while waiting for my dinner companion.
@Chesty48 It would be churlish for me to point out that it’s actually “hear hear”, so I won’t.
I see @TheBloggess has declared Thursday “I’m ignoring your friend request because YOU ARE A TREMENDOUS ASSHOLE Day” http://bit.ly/cyZHTv
Current temperature at Sydney Observatory Hill: 13C. Just so you’ll all be happy to leave your nice warm offices.
“Toeing the line”, people, not “towing” it. Don’t make me come up there!
@wolfcat The report mentions both of those things, actually. Your skimming is inadequate.
I wonder whether the ABC checks the outbound links from my stories before posting. Could I Burtroll them?
