@richardtuffin Cool, looking forward to meeting you and, I daresay, quite a few others. #poltech
@richardtuffin The ticket code is listed in the blog post I linked to, last paragraph: “dale” http://arseh.at/63r #poltech
@franksting Yeah that sounds about right, After all, I am from Adelaide originally. Can’t get much more Puritan.
I’m in Canberra on 1 June for the Microsoft Politics & Technology Forum with other suspects http://arseh.at/
@franksting No you shouldn’t tell me that. And you shouldn’t tell ms3 that she will burn in hell for that sort of disrespect.
@JustinBarrie I’ll be in Canberra on 31/5 and 1/6, so the Asahis are on you then? ;)
Hunting Asahi. Because it’s that kind of evening.
Oh FFS you’re a Pisces! What did you expect to happen?
Wedding? What wedding?
Adequate bus-borne RI.
Mobile: Bus down Parramatta Rd to Camperdown to retrieve my suitcase, then another bus back to the Sydney CBD. Glamorous.
[Standard catch-up thank-you for all the comments, advice and compliments I’ve received today but was too busy or rude to respond to.]
@carolduncan Nah, I can’t live up there permanently. The colder, cloudier weather is triggering SAD, and I struggle enough as it is.
@carolduncan My sojourn in the Blue Mountains is while I’m “between houses”. I will return to Sydney in due course. I still visit weekly.
@carolduncan Mind you, I will happily consult - that is, give my opinion - on anything if people have a budget. ;)
@carolduncan Heh it’s cool. I should give you a new bio line too, I’m not really doing IT consulting any more, just journalism / commentary.
@carolduncan I’m not sure that linking to my Twitter stream is the best way to introduce me to the ABC’s audience.
Audio of me and @trib talking PlayStation Network hack on ABC Radio @1233newcastle is at http://arseh.at/6e8
I did rearrange my plans. I will be staying in Sydney another night. I simply couldn’t face the Blue Mountains cold today. I am a wimp.
I would respond to all of your complaints, suggestions and sympathy about lousy bandwidth if, like, the internet was working.
Becoming frustrated with the lousy network performance of Telstra Next G in Haymarket.
Meanwhile I shan’t be on the television this evening after all, for various reasons. I’ll explain them in my Weekly Wrap post on Sunday.
I’ve just been interviewed for the GameSpot podcast. This is particularly amusing because I am not a gamer. I’ll post linkage when it’s up.
@jonoabroad I’m reliably informed that some online accounts can be opened by quoting passport numbers etc.
@jdub Oh sorry, I wasn’t watching Twitter while talking on the radio, I was reading websites. Thanks for that info.
What is this godawful shite music on ABC Radio @1233newcastle?
Pro tip: Pouring orange juice on your MacBook Pro’s trackpad at breakfast time does not improve its pointery performance at lunchtime.
Aparently @trib and I are on ABC Radio @1233newcastle talking Playstation security breach. Stream at http://arseh.at/6dy
It’s amazing how much planning you can do in a 30-min meeting, even with jokes included, eh @engochick @bhaverty?
I suppose I had better do some research. In the meeting?
I probably shouldn’t say which TV program yet ‘cos if I decide not to do it then the person they get will know they’re the second choice.
Speaking of railways and urinals, I’m on a train now. Heading to my 1200 meeting. The fact that it’s already 1215 is entirely coincidental.
No @jeamland, Wynyard is not a Playstation, it’s a urinal. I have told you this before, I am sure.
Now, do I want to stay in Sydney tonight so I can be on the television? That’s the bigger question.
What’s a “Playstation” anyway? Is it something for a model railway layout?
Rearranging my day on the fly.
Yes @MatthewBevan @carolduncan I can chat to you about the Playstation network breach on @1233newcastle at 1315 this afternoon.
Biting the hand that feeds me, while at the same time eating salad. Today is just weird.
OH: “I only went out for a couple quiet drinks and I ended up at the fuckin’ Sly Fox until 4am.”
Gender reassignment techniques have improved out of sight in the decades since that one was done. A real Royston Vasey job.
Mobile: Missenden Rd; King St; Enmore Rd; King St; Newtown station; Town Hall station; then it gets vague. That’ll all take about 2 hours.
Actually @jeamland @Warlach I did a whole bunch of work on the weekend, so it wasn’t really a 5-day thingo for me.
Wed plan: Check out; errands to Enmore & Newtown; meeting at ZDNet?; return to Wentworth Falls; a little writing. I think that’s it.
I think you’re right, @jeamland, but there’s clearly no pleasant word for the combination of Monday and Wednesday.
Across the weekend I wrote a bunch of blog posts over at http://stilgherrian.com but I can’t be arsed linking to them all now.
I have reason to believe that it is Wednesday, which is a bit weird. Nevertheless I shall switch into work mode.
