Thud.
Furniture to give away in Enmore. Expressions of interest to stil@stilgherrian.com please. http://arseh.at/3uu
Gawd you can’t even give away an analog TV these days! Sanyo 20” TV analog CRT SD [obviously] with remote. Anyone want it?
@ghostwhowrites Would I follow David Williamson on Twitter? Doubt it. I don’t know of anything he does that warrants my instant attention.
Last time it took 5 hours to pack the house with two people in winter. I guess 14 hours tomorrow for me. Maybe I need a minion after all.
I’ve been up since 0415, @SnarkyPlatypus. I’ll have an early night tonight, get up early, plod thru and extend into Wed night if required.
Home. Covered in sweat. Devoid of motivation. Wondering whether I should be concerned about the amount of packing to be done tomorrow.
7pm Heat http://post.ly/1YmJZ
Here we go…
When it reaches 7pm, I will head home anyway. Even if it’s still 40C. Which it is.
@ApostrophePong Hah! Windows Vista, Lotus Notes AND Vignette? You have ALL the best toys in your new job!
OH: “I’ve had Greenpeace. I’ve had UNICEF. I’m over the lot of them. I’ve done my research.” That man is always angry with the world.
Perhaps Jane Fonda AND Simon LeBon’s lips, @SnarkyPlatypus @RealNickHodge?
I’ll be on ABC Radio Darwin 105.7 at 1040 CST tomorrow talking Egypt and internet and stuff with Kate O’Toole. http://arseh.at/3uq
@RealNickHodge The band,, the guy from Barbarella, I don’t think EITHER can help now.
Heat. Cyclone. I suspect even Duran Duran can’t even save us now.
How to slam dunk yourself, in the basketball way. http://arseh.at/3up HT @johnluu
@kittykittymraow I know I know. And at this rate we’ll never get out of this air-conditioned pub. And I have Things and Need to be Done.
@johnluu Huh? It’s hot weather because you can fit through a basketball ring? Can you draw me a diagram? ;)
RT @anthonybaxter: Cloud layer on google maps shows just how big #TCYasi is: http://goo.gl/ZzO29 - we’re adding it to the flood maps. [!!!]
It’s after 5pm and it’s still 40C outside. Whose idea was this?
My that was a very attractive-sounding young man at the removalists’ support desk. Maybe I should phone back with another question.
@jplonie You can call me “possum” any time you like.
@viveka I was in SFO in December, lovely cloudy and misty 15C days, 7C nights. I daresay it’ll be colder now.
Apparently @kcarruthers has joined the Tea Party. See also http://arseh.at/1my
@kcarruthers Troll.
This combination of insomnia, hot weather and having to move house instead of billable work is making me cranky.
David Williamson at both Crikey and ABC Online today? Did he just discover the internet or something? I know he’s got a play to plug, but…

I haven’t seen anything of Facebook since May 2010, @iain_chalmers, when I deleted my account. They’re not to be trusted.
Salesforce.com’s chatter.com is now live. Free private Facebook-like social network for your business. This is an interesting strategy.

40C+ outside. The plan has changed. I’m switching to nocturnal mode for the next few days while I’m packing up the house.
@viveka Yeah we’ll miss each other, I think. I don’t hit SFO until 14/2. Valentine’s Day.
Fortunately @EnsignR I have both today and tomorrow to pack boxes, so I’m fine for that timing. I perhaps should gather some minions though.
No Crikey email yet? I’ll have to get another drink. Which is good. Because I don’t want to go outside, go home and pack boxes.
Oh look. People buy the first batch of Sandy Bridge chips and… guess what? http://arseh.at/3uh Bleeding-edge fools.
I’d just need to find a baby. Anyone got a spare?
I should become a mom blogger.

New blog post: “Accommodation: Blue Mountains then San Francisco” http://arseh.at/3uf
@adm_76 Hah! That’d be the same Wild FM with a community radio license that completely failed to involve, y’know, the community? ;)
I suppose that kinda ruins my chances of working in commercial radio. I am, of course, heartbroken.
My comment about radio executives was only a “slight” generalisation, @mumbrella? Goodness. http://arseh.at/3ue
@aimee_maree Indeed, I was about to say “this will be interesting to watch” myself. Android types might even like to get involved. ;)
@aimee_maree Nokia’s Ovi may have those 3rd-world-oriented apps now, but once cheap Android handsets flood out couldn’t that change fast?
ESR: Cheap mass-produced Android handsets from Asia drive down prices; aging, stagnant Symbian doomed. http://arseh.at/3ud
@lightweight @adavid Oh yes, MSFT’s online losses were mentioned in my Crikey piece http://arseh.at/3uc and Patch Monday http://arseh.at/3t0
Mobile: Daily Tonka. Doubtless it’ll be drenched in sweat. And not in a good way. Sigh.
Oh. Another trip out to his truck. That’s OK then.
Bother. Instead of 20 big cartons and 40 small, the driver was told to deliver 10 big and 0 small. He smiles as he organises another trip.
Electricity, gas, telephone, internet will be disconnected on Friday. A feeling of impermanence is starting to wash over me.
Astounded at how many businesses don’t put their office hours on their website, when they insist you phone them instead of using the web.
Tue plan: Cartons arrive, so start packing the house, listing things to sell or give away; confirm where Apollo and I each live past Thurs.
Oh. eFax’s new website just went live. Was it just my luck I tried to do something exactly when the changeover happened?
Arsehats at eFax: Didn’t email any notice of the downtime of their user interface, and the site gives no indication of when it’ll be back.
@jodiem Ta but no, I’m not looking to send a fax. I’m looking for configuration information on an existing account.
Arsehats at eFax: “We’re upgrading our website!” Sure, so where do see the documentation I need NOW? How convenience.
@SnarkyPlatypus Good morning. Perhaps you were perturbed by the feral goats? http://arseh.at/3tn
