I’m not sure why people are asking me questions instead of just clicking through to read the story.
“506 [sic] people were arrested as a result of the 101,248 searches and none of these arrests had anything to do with terrorism.”
“Just 504 people out of 101,248 searches under counter-terror powers last year were held for any offence.” @robcorr
Actually @robcorr I’ve got it slightly wrong ‘cos the story mentions figures from two different data sets. Stand by.
UK police searches under anti-terrorism powers: 101,248. Arrests: 504. Convictions: 237. Awaiting trial: 14. http://arseh.at/1ab

@SnarkyPlatypus J’ai appris de source sûre que la vodka a des pouvoirs de justice réparatrice au-delà de l’imagination.
Lars Rasmussen, co-creator of Google Maps and [cough] Wave hss gone to Facebook. I think I am worried. I’m not linking to TechCrunch though.
Thanks @RossPoulton, I had good feedback on my cloud security feature, and it was interesting to research. http://arseh.at/zd
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis plein de pensées introspective ce matin. Il doit être guérie. Et vous?

I am not going to tell you the name of the thing, because then you will only go and use it and it’s lame.
Sun plan: Produce “Patch Monday” podcast; maybe a bit of writing; somewhere in there, a walk, especially if there is a thunderstorm.
Thank you for your “support”, @jstogdill @ERN_Malleyscrub @kcarruthers @j4jonathan @facibus I love you too.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis très heureux avec l’intelligence et la générosité de la race humaine. Comme toujours. Et vous?
People of America, this is my Second Warning. I shall be in San Francisco from 6 to 12 December. Precautions should be taken.

Gone, mostly, except for people who know the secrets.
Because Stephanie Rice can swim fast, we must respect her opinion on all other matters.
Rugby isn’t so much a game as a repressed memory.
Home.
So, the lean young man with perfect ringlet hair, accompanied by the fat chick with rainbow angel wings… odds of heterosexuality?
Wading home through a sea of Halloween bullshit.

At midnight, there’s a band on King St that will be performing the entirety of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”.

@drowner1979 No. No typo. I did not mean gin. I meant gun. A Browning 9mm is what I’m trained in and that would suffice.
OH: “It’s ok, I just got caught in the vagina backwash.”
Oh God, they are snogging. That happens when Australia is just one try ahead?
For reasons which I prefer not to disclose at this moment, I wish I had a gun right now.
@deptofinternets My life is rather special, I think.
Two big blokes fondle each other on the lawn in Hong Kong as entirely heterosexual men cheer them on in a dozen countries globally.
He sits transfixed by the Sport. She sits bored, poking at her iPhone. His hand slips inside the waist of her skirt as the crowd roars.
At the other table, the Japanese hipster chicks play with a camera that pretends to be a cheap 1960s disposable, but cost a month’s salary.
That is not a euphemism.
The stew having been much reduced, he starts on her leftover pasta.
She reaches for the champagne and downs half a glass. He shouts approval at the skilled tackle.
The entire time, his eyes have never left the tv screen showing the rugby. And yet his hand continues to move up along her thigh.
She has eaten maybe a third of the pasta and pushes it away in disgust. He fondles her thigh while scooping another faceful of stew.
Her: Black blouse, floral print skirt, white thongs, long black hair tied back, penne carbonara, cheap champagne.
Him: Cheap sky-blue shirt, old jeans with torn knees, sneakers, blond crewcut, beef stew, beer.
There are so many social rules! How can anyone keep track of them all?
If you are a sportsman, it is essential to sing the national anthem at least half a bar behind the random B-grade celebrity.
Wearing vinyl pants on King St, Newtown, means I am an individual. I have not succumbed to conformity.
If I buy a 2011 wall calendar containing cheap reproductions of famous artwork that’s out of copyright, I myself am more creative.
Innovation happens when smart people are left alone to invent new stuff. Every other word said on the subject is self-serving bullshit.
They have a 4-litre cask of white, a slab of Tooheys Extra Dry and sombreros. Their night has been planned perfectly.
@Jay_GW_Ng Well if you see me again, say hello. I am re-tracing my path back down King St right now. I am alone, in a grey t-shirt.
Please let me run my life using advice from cheap cushions http://post.ly/18Jip
Hey Preppie Boy? Label clothes you’d normally wear on Saturday, splashed with red dye to indicate blood, does not a Halloween costume make.
Wind chimes? WIND CHIMES! There should be planning permission before you’re allowed to install those things!
OH: “Shave my head, I’m Brittle! Give me peanut butter and I’m happy!”
@ApostrophePong Hah! I only leave SFO on 12 Dec. It’ll be 13 or maybe even 14 before I’m back, given time zones.
Mobile: Enmore Rd; King St; gym, apparently; some sort of social recreation, apparently. Attention limited.
@paris_david Thank you. I seem to have found the audio through a colleague, though, and Monday is a tad late. I file Monday morning.
I did a “Patch Monday” podcast on the data retention scheme back in July, if you want background. http://arseh.at/1af #ozlog
RT @D_Keating: *insert witty comment about retaining data from data retention debate here* [Yes, well… shoosh you.]
I don’t suppose anyone happened to record the audio stream from yesterday’s #ozlog data retention debate in the Senate committee?
