RT @adm_76: Crowd source your funding? Isn’t that what the cool kids do? [Oh yeah, shit, I forgot that. I AM LIVING YOUR FUTURE!]
So, who’s paying for me to go to the RSA Security conference in San Francisco this year? (Hey, it’s worth a shot…)
Again, though, thanks for all those suggestions. I have to wrap some other things today but I’ll write ‘em up as soon as I can.
The non-technical audience I sitting next to me says “What’s HTML”?”, @gedulous, so no, that’s a #NonTechieEnough fail for you.
Also, some of you megageeks have a really weird fuckin’ idea of what “non-technical” means.
Wow. Far more answers that I expected, and slightly less platform ideological arsehattery. Thanks, I’ll put them into a blog post soon.
Dear Twitterverse, what are the key differences, really, between Internet Explorer and Firefox? For a non-technical audience.
@R_Chirgwin Battery was at 48.8V, decided we needed 3 hours of generator. It purrs.
Now he’s inventing completely new and different things to complain about.
“All these people today saying they work hard, well, I used to work in the mines.” As an ass, is my guess.
Complaining about all the things, he is.
Driver of this rail-replacement bus is from Melbourne.”No-one wants to work. We’re a nation of bludgers.”
RT @goashley Who the hell is still using Netscape Navigator on our damned Intranet? [The lying malware infection?]
@adm_76 No, I meant the morons who take fifteen minutes to but a ticket.
@adm_76 But is that a fair trade-off? Perhaps it is. These people ARE annoying.
@R_Chirgwin Yes, yes… high-level description only.
RT @jamezpolley I am an EFTPOS-only ticket machine. If you would like to use eftpos, please press this button. [This also.]
Concepts what defeat people: Remembering where you’re going. The alphabet. Remembering that you have to pay. Clue.
CITYRAIL TICKET MACHINES THEY ARE A COMPLETE MYSTARY!
Mobile: Check out; walk to Sydney Central station; 1109 train (and some bus) to Wentworth Falls; shopping; Bunjaree Cottages; collapse.
Thanks, @ms_mary_mac , that would’ve given me a clue too. But yes, @xrobau, you are SO helpful. Elephant stamp.
Thank you, @sandy_drew, that certainly looks like the spot. arseh.at/rg0 Much appreciated. You travel this route?
@tweettomnow I’m not sure that it works that way. Mind you, I’m not sure of anything any more.
That’d be right. The only messages I get on certain, um, gentlemen’s liaison websites are from fuckin’ romance scammers’ fictionfolk.
Can anyone familiar with the Melbourne-Ballarat rail journey tell me where, precisely, I took this photo? flic.kr/p/bj2cmt
New blog post, hideously late: “Weekly Wrap 85: Trains, planes, Linux and podcasts” arseh.at/rf7
@mrda_ I thought your #lca2012 photos were rather good, and certainly better than my random snapshots.
For your convenience, all my coverage from Linux.conf.au has been listed at arseh.at/rer #lca2012
@ataraxite Fear not, I have a relaxing day planned for Saturday. Apart from a 15-minute radio spot. Does that count?
Well, @drueyjay @sylmobile @JuliusFlywheel, I’ve just introduced them to the concept of email. By email. Oh wait.
How quaint. To register as freelance journo for next week’s maritime trade show I need “colour scans” of my websites. bit.ly/yzNy63
Fri plan: Much tidying of comms and “paperwork”; migrate back to Wentworth Falls; plan next week; catch up on writing and blog posts; TGIF.
@bernietb Just possibly that was the moment you sealed your fate.
Hello, Friday, which is not quite a work day but then you knew that already you lazy bastards.
