Bugger it. Enough work for today. I’m working both days on this supposed “weekend” anyway. And half of that’s on the goddam Gold Coast. Bah.
Back at the cottage. Sweaty. Feverish again. Disgruntled. Fatigued. Stressed. At least the back pain subsided as the day progressed. Bah.
Returning to the cottage. Mobile data reception is just too dodgy in Wentworth Falls itself.
Perhaps we are suffering a coincidental series of unavoidable setbacks. http://arseh.at/4i5
@expectproblems Nah that’s fine. It was enough seeing that it started with Jones haranguing the PM for being late. Arrogant cunt.
@perissology Agreed. There’s a reason I prefer to leave everything until when the transcripts arrive.
The PM’s office has just emailed the transcript of the Alan Jones interview. Can I face reading the damn thing?
@clairemarieking Apparently I have several dopplegangers around. But I’m most definitely not in Newtown today. I’m a good 95km away.
Me at Crikey: “AFACT versus iiNet appeal decision resolves nothing” http://arseh.at/4i0 [Paywall’d, free trial] #iitrial
Mobile: Walk into Wentworth Falls; lunch; shopping; walk back to the cottage for the afternoon’s work.
Let me get this right. You don’t listen to Alan Jones because you don’t like him, then you listened, and found you didn’t like him? Smart.
Crikey story, such that it is, filed.
Now, I have an hour and a half to turn all these jumbled thoughts into something approaching a coherent article. #iitrial
@kim_weatherall Indeed, the appeal resolves nothing, as far as I can tell. Off we go to the High Court! #iitrial
I’ve already recorded the coming week’s “Patch Monday” podcast, but maybe the next one should look at #iitrial and media distribution.
Gawd, the MEAA’s response to AFACT v iiNet is a bleat on “the internet kills copyright kittens”. http://arseh.at/4hm #iitrial
@joshgnosis I just like reading these docs because the Golden Girls feature so heavily. The internet depends on them! #iitrial
@joshgnosis I’m still not sure what I can say about #iitrial until I read the whole thing. I already have the inappropriate pain levels.
Of course, the complete appeals decision in AFACT vs iiNet is only 807 paragraphs of joyous reading. http://arseh.at/4gw #iitrial
I suppose I ought to get into thinking and writing mode now. This’ll be fun. Thank you for your forbearance thus far today.
Does Cisco really have a product called a “media experience engine”? Who thinks up these names?
Fri plan: Write something about AFACT v iiNet; Wentworth Falls for lunch; various plannings; edit “Patch Monday” podcast; quiet night.
Ah, the joys of tweeting about current issues. One tweet generates a dozen replies. Then it takes off. You just want to crawl away and die.
@bigjsl Well, perhaps the carbon tax need to be ten times what it is then. Or twenty times. Are you with me on that?
So, this carbon tax. Isn’t the whole point that prices go up, so we use less carbon fuels? If they didn’t, it wouldn’t work, no?
This isn’t the worst pain I have experienced, not by a fair distance, but it’s still way beyond being fun. Happy Friday.
This’d be Friday then, eh? Well, it hurts.
