@R_BurtonBradley @SnarkyPlatypus Perhaps I could go live from the Sutter Bar on Saturday arvo US time, explaining it to Americans.
@R_BurtonBradley @SnarkyPlatypus Oh that’s quite alright. Perhaps some sort of three-continent hook-up can be arranged.
@SnarkyPlatypus Are we doing a Eurovision thing? When even is it?
@gattaca Sadly it’s only SFO and SJC for me, for NetSuite’s gig. stilgherrian.com/personal/visit… Unless I scam something else quickly.
@semiboganman Yes, and some folks took it very, very seriously indeed. [Smirks.]
@gattaca Careful there, I’ll be on your continent in a week. Better batten down the battenable things.
*Pats*
I warn America once more, I’ll be in SFO/SJC a week from now, 5/11 to 5/19.
@semiboganman The majority of the tech media was Twitterverified en masse just as they were about to open their Australian presence.
Plotting.
@_LeonieGSmith @kcarruthers @RealNickHodge @smperris The organisation names and acronyms are all a bit bland, IMO.
@kimogrady1 Some legislation will be needed there, I presume, though I’ve just had a curious thought… best sleep on it. ;)
@kimogrady1 Yes, that’s part of what I was trying to get my head around. I’m too tired to think it through just now.
@kimogrady1 Yeah, but it says nothing about DSD/ASD’s capabilities other than in “cyber security”. That’ll be fun to unravel.
@kimogrady1 This is paragraph 2.90 of the White Paper?
“2013 Defence White Paper recognises that Defence makes a significant contribution to Australia’s broader national security arrangements.”
Oh. The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) is being renamed to the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). #cyber

So have I mentioned my special novel yet?
RT @Davidramli: @stilgherrian @joshgnosis No offence, but I like our CBA story better… afr.com/p/national/fif… [“Better” on what axis?]
@nphair @zdnetaustralia I’m fairly sure that all management jargon is code for getting paid less.

I like how in the @zdnetaustralia team page everyone else is a “journalist” but I’m a “correspondent”. zdnet.com/meet-the-team/…
So I’ve filed my thing for @zdnetaustralia now. Please send the gincopter.
Actually, I think I’ll just leave it as “ZDNet understands that…” and how we gained that understanding is best left to the inquiry.
Trying to figure out the best way to describe how I came to be in possession of this document.
Choosing not to use the metaphor “getting the legislative ducks in a row and giving them teeth”.
After some light reading? Australia’s brand new Defence White Paper 2013 is out. defence.gov.au/whitepaper2013/
@jplonie @NewtonMark @alanjlee @jeamland @SnarkyPlatypus @jeffsonstein You’re all making life difficult and annoying. Please stop.
@michaelneale Now look, I actually know how DNS works. Or did. Back in the day when we had to write zone files manually… #getoffmylawn
@Linsarmel @SnarkyPlatypus Not really. We cheat. :)
I have “solved” the DNS problem by making it somebody else’s problem.
@ikostar Oh good, so if they’re zeros they can just be placed anywhere, right? ;)
@R_Chirgwin Oh bah! What would Geoff Huston know about the internet?
The difficulty with this, though, is that I really have no fucking idea about IPv6.
Having found and fixed an error in Senate Hansard, for my next trick I’ll figure out why this DNS notify isn’t working via IPv6. No, I will.
@NewtonMark @mukimu There were many special learnings yesterday. I was sober the entire time. It was hell.

@SnarkyPlatypus Les poulets atteignent leur objectif. Ne soyez pas cruel pour eux.
Fri plan, draft: Write for @zdnetaustralia; washing; deal with email backlog; plan next week; lazy evening, probably.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis content que c’est vendredi. Je suis épuisé. Et vous?
Hello, Friday, I suppose.
