Mobile, again: Shopping, than back to the cottages. After that, well, buggered if I know.
Gosh that TVC for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 is rather bullshit-laden, isn’t it.
@Mrgareth Not that much pain. I don’t track who follows me nor get email alerts. I moret’s that people disappear and I don’t notice.
OH: “I have three Facebook profiles. One’s 24yo, one’s 34, and one’s 44. And they get completely different messages.”
“How Gay is Tennis? All these sports were rated on a scale of 1 to Vladimir Putin.” Thanks, @firstdogonmoon!
Oh good. I’ve just won a Coopers Ale stubby holder. Anyone want it?
Stratfor is back online at stratfor.com and, for a while, all content is free. [Yeah. I’m a bit late with this.]
Thanks for the sympathy, empathy, or whatever it is, @Mrgareth @R_Chirgwin @adm_76 @jonoabroad @iain_chalmers
Becoming less than impressed with Twitter’s ability to forget who’s following whom. Didn’t we solve databases decades ago?
I’m more than happy to cover your @Radio2UE spot with @trevorlong tomorrow, @paulwallbank. From 3pm, you say? Lovely!
Mobile: Walk dirt track then Railway Pde to Wentworth Falls; lunch and conspiracy theories at The Grand View Hotel; shopping; return.
Oh dear. Poor little Harry Triguboff of Meriton fame doesn’t like his buildings being called “ugly”. arseh.at/qg8
Well, I’ve booked the flights anyway. I’ll consider accommodation in Sydney, Ballarat and Melbourne after I’ve had some lunch.
@bhaverty I did think about going my train, but then I remembered that the trains don’t have power outlets, IIRC.
@jamezpolley Life can be incredibly difficult and frustrating sometimes.
Figuring out whether it’ll be cheaper overall top spend Sunday night in Sydney or Melbourne. More complicated than you might imagine.
How come @abcgrandstand is reporting who came 7th in a race rather than who won? Is this sports reporting or celebrity gossip?
Agreed, @SmurfingBeer @joshgnosis, but at least ANY attempt at numerical analysis is better that the government’s hand-waving.
Fri plan, unordered: Plan next week at Linux.conf.au, no really; clear comms backlog; errands Wentworth Falls; try not to kill anyone.
Hmmm. I still feel shit, but I suppose I really ought to organise next week and/or get out of bed. Or just get a gun and kill everyone.
Cybersafety Help Button downloads: 300k. Under-15yos: 4.2m. That’s 7%. What was the success metric for this? Oh, not stated? No?
Hmmm. ABS figures for under-15yo easy to find, but an under-18yo figure would be more useful for the point I’m about to make, but…
Well that’s the point, @GeordieGuy @bleeters, without any other metric being published we have no idea what the results have been.
The government’s new “Easy Guide to Socialising Online” is at www.dbcde.gov.au/easygui…, and it is new.
I probably shouldn’t talk about PM’s media releases until they’ve been turned into “news” by the news factories. No-one knows what I mean.
RT @GeordieGuy: What other metric could there be? [How many times it’s been USED. How many people it’s helped. Some case studies too, eh?]
Oh and here we go. The Cybersafety Help Button again. Is the ONLY metric we’ll ever see the number of times it’s been downloaded?
Jesus wept! Who ARE all these stupid arsehats who reckon we should replace the criminal justice system with fan clubs?
Yeah?
