@SnarkyPlatypus But what are you meant to do with the pumpkin?
How does “midnight” work? Also, shut up.
Linux.conf.au 2013 will be in Canberra 28 Jan to 2 Feb at ANU, to clarify. #lca2012
Linux.conf.au 2013 will be in Canberra. #lca2012
@SenatorLudlam Hah! No you and @ioerror made your points clearly. I made the mess. @engochick is fixing it as we speak.

@grum Pedant.
Next steps: Grab a few people for quick interviews for the final Linux.conf.au podcast. I’m comin’ a’lookin’, y’hear? #lca2012
@tweettomnow I am stone cold sober. Tired, very tired, but completely sober.

he Project Horus balloon is now at 15km altitude, climbing 4.7m/s and is currently around 50km downrange. arseh.at/qpc #lca2012
@chrisjrn Yep, see last tweet. Story to appear at @zdnetaustralia shortly. Well, when it’s subbed.
After a quick conversation with @engochick, we have a strategy to create two good articles out of our work. URLs within an hour. #lca2012
I’ve just filed a @TechRepublic/@zdnetaustralia story on @SenatorLudlam/@ioerror’s comments. It’s a confused mess. #lca2012
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: Adventures in online publishing. On a Friday afternoon. Ugh. [Stop your whinging. For some of us, This Is Your Life.]
The Project Horus balloon has been launched. You can track it at arseh.at/qpc #lca2012
Taking a quick writing break to watch the Project Horus balloon launch. #lca2012
“Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 Annual Report” PDF. Is that Comic Sans in the copyright stuff? arseh.at/qpd
You’ll be able to track the Project Horus balloon at arseh.at/qpc and they’ll confirm telemetry is up before launch. #lca2011
MT @marcoostini: Overhearing Project Horus team, it seems all systems are *GO* for another high altitude balloon launch this arvo! #lca2012
Thank you, Uni of Ballarat. If I sit here quietly typing, the lights turn off. Must wave frantically every few minutes. #lca2012
RT @dobes: @engochick I was just going to wait and let the lack of sleep finish the job. [Yeah, that’d do it.]
“Not Found. The requested URL videos.lcaunderthestars.org.au was not found on this server. Apache Server at … Port 3128” #lca2012
Crawling away to hide in the press room so I can finish off a couple stories before @dobes and @engochick send the hit squad. #lca2012
Reserving the phrase “breathtakingly daft” for use in an op-ed on Monday.
RT @mukimu: I can’t say I enjoy making people squirm, but sometimes that’s part of the job. [So are you turning tricks now?]

Episode 3 of @TechRepublic’s #lca2012 podcast now online! “Linux.conf.au 2012: cyborg lawyer demands source”
Oh. Noticing where I spilt coffee on my shirt earlier. Sigh. BUT AT LEAST I HAVE BEEN WEARING A CLEAN SHIRT EACH DAY, AND WASHING. #lca2012
“Umi if”? Oh FFS. At least I’ve had breakfast now.
Mobile. cab to Umi if Ballarat arriving momentarily. In theory. #lca2012
Amused by PR people who imagine I’d know where I’ll be when next Wednesday. “News cycle”, anyone?
Love the FAQ on Linux .conf.au delegate survey: “I’m drunk / hung over / asleep / had enough. Can I do this later?” #lca2012
I’m annoyed by having to wait for data backups, but I also know what happens if you skip that vital step.
So, turns out that @abcnews’ recent highlighting of my name’s “unusualness” was the decision of an executive producer. Don’t blame journo.
@tweettomnow Ask me again at the end of today. I am now flat out and can’t look at that for now.
@tweettomnow I’d suggest asking conference organisers, but generally videos are posted “eventually”. I recorded the audio, will use some.
Whew! @ioerror has finished. I must now get this podcast completed and filed, shower, shave, and head to the conference venue. #lca2012
RT @hornmaths: Why is no-one out of the keynote yet? #LCA2012 [Because it hasn’t finished yet. @ioerror has run way over time.]
Currently @ioerror is running through a rather fine quick primer on the history of the surveillance state. #lca2012
Watch @ioerror’s Linux.conf.au keynote about surveillance state almost-now at arseh.at/qos Background arseh.at/p6q #lca2012
Yep, I’ll be covering @ioerror’s 0900 keynote arseh.at/p6q from my motel room via the stream. I’m still wrapping a podcast. #lca2012
BernardKeane More on Mel the Baptist RT @noplaceforsheep: The ultimate insult: is.gd/qHcwfn
RT @chrisjrn: Hey… National Lego convention this weekend in Melbourne? Interesting. [Hah! Do we need to cover this, @engochick?]
RT @jonoabroad: Does it involve a university mascot and bottle of body glitter? [Why does EVERYONE bring my private life into this?]
So, I’m straight into working on the @LCA2012 podcast and may have to catch @ioerror’s 0900 speech via the stream as I finish another story.
Sat plan foreshadowed: File more #lca2012 stories; train to Melbourne; 1500 “War on the Internet” forum arseh.at/qb4 ; dinner.
Fri plan: Cover final day of Linux.conf.au, recording and filing as much as I can before implosion and weekend; evening TBA. #lca2012
So, this is Friday. And I somehow turned my alarm off after it went, so I’m an hour layer than I want to be. This’ll be difficult. #lca2012
Uhoh.
OK, so I think I might break now and sleep and continue editing in the morning like I did last night. Cheers.
