I have escaped the dregs of the #lca2012 dinner and I’m back at my accommodation and I’m starting work. Glamorous, I know.
Smirking.
@dobes @jdub I didn’t set up broadcast-quality audio but I have a reference recording from my table and someone is shooting video.
So @SenatorLudlam says he’s our after-dinner burlesque. #lca2012

RT @SnarkyPlatypus If they can resurrect ‘Young Talent Time’ they should also be resurrecting things like ‘Chances’. [Newsletter subscribe.]
@maninultimo Indeed. Apparently news/caff have missed the memo, or something. Much amusements this end.
Trying to be in two locations doing two different things. Failing. #lca2012
@jeamland Yes, I remember Mr Supreme from the 2008 caucuses in… forget which state. I saw something last week telling me he was back.
@jeamland I can’t watch the video just now (bandwidth) but does it involve the promise of a pony-based economy?
DO IT FOR THE KITTENS! arseh.at/qnm
Thinking of messaging everyone @herpderpedia quotes and telling them to CLICK ON THE FUCKING LINK AND READ WHAT IT SAYS YOU FUCKING MORON.
Hey Kids! Live in NSW, south coast area? LOOKING FOR DRUGZ? They’re in that shipping container next door. arseh.at/qnl
Thank you.
@SnarkyPlatypus If you know that I know, and I know that, then I know you know that there’s no way they’ll get to know what you know.
RT @ZacDavies “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” - Carl Sagan [More evidence that smoking dope is bad, m’kay?]
RT @IanWoolf loving @herpderpedia [Agreed.]
Confusing tenses.
@SnarkyPlatypus Where?
Three tweets.
I’ve just seen two tweets in a row from someone which, when combined, put me into an entirely different frame of mind. On a Thursday, too.
@mpesce Oh, I’m learning about many new things that have now become possible.
@SnarkyPlatypus I think you’ll find that @gusworldau is classified more under the Journalism God. Whoever that is.
RT @cheyes: Not enough people use the word ‘brotastic’ [This tweet is in error from beginning to end.]
johnemcintyre Some fool is challenging Geoffrey Pullum over “who” and “whom.” There’ll be nothing left but a smear on the carpeting. tinyurl.com/89ewq6l
Heading into the last bit of @gusworldau’s presentation to help defend the faith. #lca2012
@domknight I now get the feeling we’re not helping… ;)
@domknight @tmc071 @LindaMottram The Spanish Wikipedia was fine? In the US? So, we can infer Wikipedia is a racist organisation? Cool!
@jeamland Ahem! It was the 1950s and 60s, and it was “0000”. See also Permissive Action Link (PAL).
Right. Time to figure out which stories to write. #lca2012
I can’t go in there. The auditorium is named after Geoffrey Blainey. #lcva2012
Episode 2 of the #lca2012 podcast now online! “Linux.conf.au 2012: FreedomBox’s privacy” and NodePonies in space. arseh.at/qnk
OH: “I had to reboot my computer…” #lca2012
@jonoabroad I’ve lost the thread. I’m not sure which thing was the child-like wonder. But then I’m a bit distracted today.
RT @rycrozier: What’s an interactive virtualisation facility? [AKA “masturbatorium”?]
One of my editors just asked for danger money. True.
So in political-philosophy terms, what’s the equivalent of the pancreas? #lca2012
@cowspanker Reddit has never been part of my media mix. Do I REALLY need to know what the flotsam of feral goldfish have washed up on today?
OH: “Whoo!” Oh FFS. #lca2012
CM… DM… They all feel the same in the dark, @jonoabroad.
@mukimu “Over” SOPA? No, it could be a sustained 99% of all tweets, but it won’t be a trend because there’s no fast increase in traffic.
Quickly turning a public tweet into a CM, lest I be lynched.
@mukimu Erm, you know that trending topics are about sudden rise times, not overall volume, right?
@cowspanker I don’t know how you made THAT link. No, I don’t think Reddit is important. Much activity, but annoying. Like ants in a pantry.
Oh. Reddit. I thought it might have been something, like, important.
“Upboat”?
And… episode 2 of @TechRepublic’s podcast from Linux.conf.au is complete. It’ll be on your internets soon. Stand by. Now coffee. #lca2012
@mwyres Nope. Private bus arranged by Linux.conf.au, just links our accommodation venues to the Uni.
Mobile. On the bus to Uni of Ballarat. Audio files are rendering as we speak.
@MetaMikeBiggs This may seem odd, but the final mix isn’t actually an intricate task. It’s running semi-automated processes and copy-paste.
Things to factor into planning podcast coverage of an event #296: Time to run multi-gigabyte backups.
Wow. I did actually get the core podcast edit done ay 0800. Backup up now. I can do the final rendering over breakfast and on the 0845 bus.
@arjenlentz Turns out it’s not really too ambitious. The podcast editing is coming together nicely. For a change.
Right. Podcast editing resumed. Let’s see if I can finish this by 0800. Yeah right. #lca2012
Thu plan: Another day full of Lunux.conf.au coverage. Sessions all day, writing and recording in between, a dinner, then podcast production.
And so this is Thursday. Goodness me. This will continue to be difficult, I’m sure. That’s not negativity, that’s being realistic.
