OK, that’s enough from me tonight. I have a story to file in the morning, and I intend it to be not completely crap. For a change. Gone.
@brisvegas1 There’s a lot we can learn from Chatroulette.
More reportage of Optus CEO’s comments on NBN, from iTnews http://arseh.at/4jl iTWire http://arseh.at/4jm ARN http://arseh.at/4jo #ks11
What happens at Kickstart stays at Kickstart. For a price. #ks11
@RealNickHodge I don’t know that I do “professional”. What I do know is that I’ve recovering from a fever and don’t need a relapse.
I was right. My phone did die. But I’m back at my room and planning to have a sensibly early night. Unlike most others. #ks11
OH: “So I’ve got a laptop but no clothes…”
If I tweet for a while and then fall mysteriously silent, it’s because my phone battery died. Honestly. Would I lie about that? #ks11
Coming up now: pre-dinner drinks with @borrett from AVG, then “Dinner: MyNetFone Roaring 20s Casino”. May the gods have mercy… #ks11
Optus CEO’s comments on NBN reported at ZDNet http://arseh.at/4jf Business Spectator http://arseh.at/4jg #ks11
@seamus Yes, Munir and I are next door, though I’m not sure how close we are to starting.
About to be on a panel on audio and video reporting and how PRs and vendors can best assist. #ks11
The peaches are gorgeous. #ks11 #notaeuphemism
Aitch. #ks11
There’s a piñata here? Cool!#ks111
@CapricaStar I never complain. I am the very model of patience and tolerance.
Can someone focus the projector please? #ks11
Damn! I forgot that I was going to be making buzzword bingo cards. I hang my head in shame. #ks11
We are all special snowflakes, apparently. #ks11
I won’t repeat what Optus CEO Paul O’Sullivan says. Follow #ks11 for details. Key theme is fear of NBN being a non-transparent monopoly.
What is it with every corporate type giving a keynote these days, imagining they have to start with some video? #ks11
Arrived and checked in at so-called Sanctuary Cove. Please insert my comments on the Gold Coast generally from last year. #ks11
Touchdown Gold Coast.
Lights out. See you next from the Gold Coast.
Boarding the A320 cattle truck. Some fool nearby imagines he’ll be able to spread out a broadsheet newspaper. #ks11
Airport. Security cleared. Already there are signs of journalists. #ks11
Mobile.
OK. The data backups are done. Everything is re-packed into my suitcase, my temporary home. I suppose I’d better do this. #ks11
Google’s algorithm changes adversely affect Demand Media? Oh, can you imagine just how much my heart is bleeding now?
That mammoth 1996 article by Neal Stephenson on international cables remains one of my favourites, @jstogdill http://bit.ly/i6IUT1
“New era in schools transparency”? Gawd. My School 2.0 goes live Fri 4 Mar, says Peter Garrett’s office.
Sun plan: 0920 AEDT JQ404 SYD-OOL; Kickstart Forum http://arseh.at/4j0 until late Tuesday afternoon. The hashtag to filter out is #ks11
A strange sense of foreboding permeates the morning.
I have reason to believe that it is Sunday. It’s not so bad, at least so far.
