Checked in. Pondering dinner locations. Glad I’m going to sleep here rather than make a late-night train journey tonight.
RT @MrFlungabunga: You thinking of applying for a job there? [Sure, Fitness First and I would be a great match.]
@stufromoz Indeed. These serviced apartments also give me a discounted personal rate. It’s quite handy.
Does Fitness First have a must-wax policy for staff?
@stufromoz The Formule 1 does have a vacancy, yes, but as it happens a place where I’m a regular isn’t sold out for me, just for the proles.
@ragnarok1971 I am reliably informed that Easter bookings are coming in strongly for most places, yes.
@fictillius I suspect that a sofa bed wouldn’t be good for me in terms of working early tomorrow. :P
Botheration My usual city accommodation hidey-holes are booked out. I shall have to… like… look and think and stuff.
Improved by German efficiency. And now a decision over a drink: return to Wentworth Falls tonight, or not?
Well that’s every orifice explored. And now, to he dealt with by the German.
Smirking.
The antlers are, as always, beguiling. I am at peace with the world.
Batteries low. Attention being reduced.

Devonagent and Citeseer, eh @JuliusFlywheel @quietdiscourse? I shall investigate later, thank you!
@quietdiscourse I’m using searches with more terms that “geek culture” alone, and going past the first couple of pages. More than a few tho.
@juhasaarinen I agree. Google Image search brings with it a whole new kind of danger.
Anyone know an Australian sociologist or ethnographer who’s done work on geek culture? Not the kind with dolmades.
No, Google. When I am searching for “geek culture” stuff, I do not wish to see Hellenistic theatre, souvlakia, rebetika and ouzo. Arsehats.
@bhaverty Life can be so cruel sometimes…
@bhaverty Oh Brian! Somehow a beer has already appeared nearby. I don’t know how that happened. IT’S A COMPLEET MYSTARY! Next time.

In the Sydney CBD. One hour until my medical appointment in Darlinghurst. Wondering whether to stay down overnight, given my fatigue levels.
@julieposetti Sod all that. Whatever the project, and I specifically avoided the j word, money freely given has the least taint of all IMO.
@julieposetti What on earth could be wrong with people volunteering of their own free will to fund a project?
Sometimes, amongst these ragged anarchists, there is adequate RI.
Mobile: Walk dirt track then Railway Pde to Wentworth Falls; snack; 1031 train to Sydney; 1230 errands in Emore and Newtown; remainder TBA.
The toxic Silicon Valley mindset: having 65% of a constantly-growing market is “stagnant”. http://arseh.at/63x
Thu plan: A bunch of errands in Sydney, including heath-related; as much comms and planning as possible on the train, batteries permitting.
Oh FFS, the “study” of police taser use in Victoria was two towns, N=10, none fired. Validity zero. http://arseh.at/63s
@homelesslaw I ask, because without that we may just be measuring the mental health issues at the basis of crime and violence.
@homelesslaw Does the study also say how many police encounters without Tasers were “people with mental health problems”?
@monkeytypist Nevertheless, that you were “upset” by something doesn’t mean the ABC shouldn’t publish it. Very different issues, I’d say.

“Distinguished”? WTF?
Fursday. And I feel very furry. On the inside. Not in a good way.
