Thud.
Actually, I’ll get sleep first. There’s now maybe 90 minutes of work to do on the podcast, I can deal with that in the morning.
@Formulate Well, second half of 2011 I made a conscious decision to focus more on infosec generally on my work. Can’t do everything.
Did I mention that Project Horus’ balloons to the edge of space are rather cool? projecthorus.org #lca2012
Studio mode now, with much less urge to be distracted than last night. I just want to produce this thing and get to bed.
@darksidelemm Oh I recorded a spot with Joel Stanley about an hour ago, so I’m now fully informed, thank you!
Quick-Eze, what a scam! $1.90 for 130g of sugared chalk.

RT: Episode 1 of @TechRepublic’s #lca2012 podcast now online! “Linux.conf.au 2012: three threats and a balloon” arseh.at/qm6
@jonoabroad Sometimes I watch Twitter when on the radio, sometimes not, depending on many factors.
@Formulate Comment noted. Though security, privacy etc were only around 50% of “Patch Monday” podcast topics last year.
@chrisbrownie Ah, but I did that radio spot while sitting quietly, back to a low concrete wall, away from the noise and wind.
Back at my accommodation, starting to edit the podcast shortly. #lca2012
And the radio spot is done. Alas, the stream dropped out halfway through so I didn’t record it all. Back to the party…
On hold for @domknight on ABC Radio to talk SOPA and Wikipedia. Listen at arseh.at/7y9
At the Ballarat Miners Exchange, where a computer museum display is set up. Explaining the S100 bus to younguns. #lca2012
Waiting for someone to emerge from meetings so I can interview them, then dinner, 2030 radio spot, podcast editing and (in theory) sleep.
To access Wikipedia during the blackout use the mobile site or turn off JavaScript, I’m told. Page on SOPA not blacked. arseh.at/nca
I’m on ABC Radio at 2030 AEDT @domknight talking SOPA/Wikipedia with @domknight on @666canberra, digital, stream at arseh.at/qbh
@cheshireb After this session I’ll record interviews, then back to the motel to edit the podcast and write stories. #lca2012
@jasonjordan Ah well yes we’ve all been busy today. I have at least one radio spot tonight. /cc @mpesce
I also see that @mpesce and I have been doing our usual trick of divvying up Australia’s media outlets between us.
RT @mpesce: Does #lca2012 have “fairy” sponsors, too? [Sadly no. Just “emperor” and “other”.] /cc @NathanaelB
My brain only just this moment understood why Linux.conf.au has “emperor” sponsors. FFS I need serious help. #lca2012
Wondering whether it’s time to bring some class to Sky News Australia. [cough]
@Schermy All #lca2012 sessions are being streamed from linux.conf.au/live but I haven’t been checking for recordings yet.
More bugger Weird demi-sleep sitting on a couch. Must try to wake up properly so I can get stuff done.
Bugger. Microsleeps.
@SnarkyPlatypus Indeed, the idea that I’d be “jealous of the existing literary guard” is hilarious.
@ahmadraisj Thank you, that’s flattering, but you may find that CBS Interactive is a little uncomfortable with the copy’n’paste.
Me from Jul 2009: “Literature? What’s that got to do with the price of books?” with bonus strap-on horn. arseh.at/kym Ping @chrisjrn
Agreed, @mcbridematt, this pasta is really quite fuckin’ atrocious. #lca2012
So, @JuliaGillard, explain to me again why a novel’s literary merit depends on whether it’s printed out or not? Arsehat.
RT @jdub: The bar around behind the cafe serves alcohol. #lca2012 [VITAL IMPORTANT ESSENTIAL URGENT NECESSARY FACT ALERT!]
@expectproblems THIS IS A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT SERVING ALCOHOL I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY LIVE! #lca2012
MT @rashasman: PM’s Literary Award: “internet only books… are not eligible” bit.ly/x1XZCw [Well that’s just fucked, Ms Gillard.]
So, my energy levels are fading fast. #lca2012
RT @dobes: Dubstep was a bridge too far. [Never a truer word was said…]
@quietdiscourse Cheers. Yes, some good messages about self-awareness there.
Me at @zdnetaustralia: “Open source needed to save democracy”, not that I’m trolling. arseh.at/qmc #lca2012
OH: “You know those little cracker and cheese packs? They make excellent firestarters.” #lca2012
So @zdnetaustralia wins Linkbait of the Day on my podcast. “Linux should copy Apple on user rapport” arseh.at/qm9 #lca2012
Reminder for parents from @nswpolice: Beware the online Justin Bieber impersonator. arseh.at/qm7
Episode 1 of @TechRepublic’s #lca2012 podcast now online! “Linux.conf.au 2012: three threats and a balloon” arseh.at/qm6
And the radio spot is done. Now juggling listening to an #lca2012 keynote and polishing off a story from yesterday. Armph!
On hold for @1395FIVEaa Adelaide to talk SOPA. Listen at fiveaa.com.au, should you care. And you should care. About SOPA, not about me.
And, I like that the DSD guys are wearing their t-shirts today so we know which bowl of petunias to speak into slowly and clearly. #lca2012
RT @heycam: I saw a milk truck on campus this morning. It’s number plate was DSD-04. It made me suspicious! #lca2012
I’m on @1395FIVEaa Adelaide at 0905 AEDT / 0835 ACDT talking SOPA. Listen at fiveaa.com.au from memory.
Also, I managed 2.5 hours of broken sleep, not just 1 hour, so everything will be perfect today. Yes.
Links to my stuff about #lca2012 will start coming through the course of the morning.
Wed plan: Another day covering Linux.conf.au for @TechRepublic &a@zdnetaustraliaalia; talk@domknightight on ABC@702sydney tonight re SOPA etc.
Awake again. Mostly.
One hour power nap will now commence. #lca2012
So, that’s the Linux.conf.au podcast episode 1 completed and uploaded. I will tweet a link once it’s published. #lca2012
RT @ataraxite: So you’ll be grumpy and cantankerous tomorrow? And how will this differ from most days? [Please go fuck yourself.] #lca2012
As an aside, it does look like I’m pulling an all-nighter tonight. May God have mercy ‘pon your souls. #lca2012
Finally finished recording and editing the podcast. Now for the final mix, applying of text, rendering to MP3, adding ID3 tags etc. #lca2012
@darksidelemm (It’s a full HD video, but audio was recorded in a separate device. Or I can just give you the files.) #lca2012 #projecthorus
@darksidelemm I have a video of the balloon launch but it’ll need the audio fixed. I can’t do that until the weekend. #lca2012 #projecthorus
Well, I’m taking a brief break to consider what I’ve done so far and what’s left to do. Is it really 0100? I’ve been up since 0500. Oh.
Still in studio mode, editing the daily @TechRepublic podcast from Linux.conf.au and, um, loving it. Shut up. #lca2012
