I think I’ve had enough of you for today.
Actually working on this thing after 7pm on a Sunday s bit silly, given how early I was working this morning. I shall do it tomorrow.
I am back at @bunjaree. I have poured myself a drink. I have started work on something that is long, long overdue.
@MetaMikeBiggs @ozdj Mind you, I can’t replicate that result.
RT @ozdj Why I love Wikipedia. twitpic.com/al9dnx
@Hack_packer Yep, and people still don’t back up their data, still turn without indicating, still don’t wash their hands after a slash…
@NewtonMark I did do it yesterday. And I did it again today, in the other direction. I’ll do it again in Wednesday too. Excitement plus.
@Hack_packer @thecrouchpotato Well there’s the thing. There’s no news in this. It’s a stock standard phishing attack, not even a new one.
@Hack_packer @thecrouchpotato I only dig into details of specific hacks when I need them for something I’m working on, or for a client.
@Hack_packer @thecrouchpotato Oh don’t look to me for authoritative hack news! I don’t follow that news cycle closely. I’ll be days+ late.

So it would appear that @GreenJ has .phallen for the phishing …
Your deadline for writing a submission to #natsecinquiry is tomorrow, Monday. Stop “hacking”, start writing.
All these recipes involving “shaved fennel”, don’t chefs ever wax?
@bleeters HOW VERY DARE YOU HAVE BETTER OPIATES THAN ME THERE IS NO JUSTICE.
Sure, but I’ve been drinking. How much did they pay you for this again? instagr.am/p/Of57xDiFrg/
Oh who knows? But there’s four of them. instagr.am/p/Of5tnMiFrV/
RT @SnarkyPlatypus Matchbox 20 - what even is it? [A studio apartment in Newtown, renting at $600 per week.]
RT @NickHodgeMSFT There are a lot of nerds here #pyconau [That’s why they pay him the big bucks.]
Speaking of Edicts, can someone record me a quick 30-second voiceover some time before 2000 AEST today? Deep M or F authoritative voice.
@SnarkyPlatypus No, alas, because snow and hackers. But patience will be retarded sooner than you might think.

@kcarruthers I have a half-written Edict concerning “Insiders”, but I’d have to watch another episode to complete it. :(
@Colvinius I’ll definitely listen now, thanks Mark. It sounds like there’s plenty I’d find intertesting. Will re-plug when I’m done.
@Colvinius Sigh. This ethical perfection malarkey is bloody complicated!
@Colvinius Why? How many do you commit?
RT @alanzeino @stilgherrian fuck you’re a worthless, pitiful excuse for a no–surname human being [Compliment of the day, thank you. XXX]
RT @en_gy “Sydney Mardi Gras” is an anagram of “Dreary Gays Minds” Well, that’s that then.
Has Steps ever played Waves at Wollongong?
Ayn Rand is to normal human compassion as cocaine addiction is to pleasant family gatherings around a grandmother’s dinner table.
RT @mwyres @stilgherrian @joshgnosis That’s the best one since someone figured out “Stephen Conroy” was an anagram for “Hypo Net Censor”…
@Drag0nista I’m having a lovely day, thank you. Most of my work is done, and the oysters are satisfactory. And you?
RT @joshgnosis “Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan” is an anagram of “My ultimate Ayn Rand porn”
RT @R_Chirgwin Who was it that described the Canberra gallery as useless, dishonest, mendacious, solipsistic, drunken brain donors? [You?]
@puggle01 I’m fine, thank you. The wine list has finally arrived, finally.
@kcarruthers I’ve watched “Insiders” at times in the past, but not for ages. It seemed like an inefficient use of my time. Low S/N ratio.
RT @CBXn “Insiders” would be a good title for a high-school amateur gynecology club. [The difference being…?]
I’m fairly sure that’s how you get good service at an Italian restaurant.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE WINE LIST YOU INCOMPETENT WHORE?
@jeamland Everything is a pretend thing hosted on a real thing. Echoes of Echo.
Parramatta River instagr.am/p/OfulKfiFjx/
People who watch “Insiders” and imagine anyone gives a fuck.
People who thought that Groupon was a sustainable business model and a way forward for human society generally.
People who’ve been thinking about “international incidents” for a whole day and think they’ve grasped more subtleties than professionals.
So. Much. Blood.
Now all I have to do it wait for the bleeding to stop so I can clean up all this blood before checking out of the hotel. And then lunch.
One week from today I’ll be headed to San Francisco for Vmware’s VMworld. Yes, on their tab. stilgherrian.com/personal/visit…
Well that’s all the blog posts caught up with, and I’ve sorted out all my plans except the second half of my San Francisco accommodation.

Ahem.
Pro Tip: If you want someone to respond to your Twitter DMs, send them to that person and not to yourself.
@en_gy Mental illness is a continuing, hidden tragedy in Australian society.
@SnarkyPlatypus While I appreciate the video of the black man fiddling with his underwear, that’s not at all what I was visualising. Mostly.

RT @NickHodgeMSFT: @stilgherrian @ozdj I am sitting next to a BoM developers here at #pyconau His response to this request is “No” [Prick.]
@ozdj Oh if only the BoM’s supercomputer could respond to “Fark it’s cold!” Ideally with a baseball bat.
@ozdj Imagine how weather forecasts could be improved if there were 2 million real time weather stations in Australia!

RT @mpesce: Uncle Mark is in a child-spoiling mood today. [So @VirginAustralia will move you to another seat.]
@SnarkyPlatypus I am afraid. At that very moment I also spilled my coffee, all over some scrap papers rather than anything important.
Sudden urge to use Gerry Anderson’s special machine. stilgherrian.com/internet/gerry… #abcrn
People who can’t properly use @ versus # on Twitter should not have the right to vote. #abcrn
Noting that @evacox is much more forthright and interesting in speech than in her writing. I find the latter repetitive, often dull. #abcrn
So @markatextor is repeating the “I don’t have that excuse” and “no excuses” soundbites. Watch what pollies say in the week ahead. #abcrn
Comfortable, secure, well-off Australians are feeling “disempowered” by a few score desperate people in a boat that’s about to sink? #abcrn
RT @roger_wegener: Textor is spot on #abcrn [About which bit? Without specifics you sound more like a fan club member.]
Lovely work there by @markatextor piling together a whole bunch of unrelated issues that piss people off to create a miasma of fear. #abcrn
“Social license” is yet another way of linking “unlicensed” with “illegal” in people’s minds. Very clever, very nasty propaganda. #abcrn
But either way, arguing over the words used is a bullshit distraction from the political, social issues and treatment of humans. #abcrn
@andrew_hedge Erm no, it is illegal to ENTER Australia without approval. It is NOT illegal to arrive somehow and seek such entry. #abcrn
So @MarkTextor was delayed getting on air by ABC security? Run by G4S. They have no sense of urgency. Outsourcing fail. Say no more. #abcrn
New blog post: “Talking bullying and Twitter laws on @BallsRadio”, 10 mins of audio from 8 Aug. stilgherrian.com/conversations/…
To bring my blog up to date will require five new “stuff I’ve done” posts today. I’m finding the process rather reflective.
@SnarkyPlatypus Il est scandaleux que vous souhaitez demander un âge entier pour vous-même. Cette arrogance!
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Après avoir été ravagée par les Libanais, je suis bien remarquable. Je suis maintenant de réparer l’univers. Et tu?
@GreenJ Twitter for good? Last year strangers (mostly) gifted me $4000 to pay vet bills, even though the cat was finally put down. #abcrn
Sun plan, unordered: Update blog (4+ posts); lunch (Parramatta) (probably); plan week ahead (QLD, SFO); return to Wentworth Falls (train).
@GreenJ Yes I know there’s The Communards and Jimmy Somerville solo works in there, but the punters probably won’t notice.
@GreenJ But you make me feel so real. People like you have suspicious minds. OK, now I’ll stop.
@GreenJ “Why?”
@GreenJ Well that’s that out of the way then. abcrn
Possibly @Gonski is not the same Gonski who wrote the review of Australia’s education system. #abcrn
@juhasaarinen Yes I know, BBC is going to the dogs. This week “tape recorder” archaisms, the other weekend they dissed me personally.
Royal Irish Regiment members given tape recorders to document experiences, capture thoughts. 1000 today, then podcast. abc.net.au/radionational/…
