Dealing with time zones.
It is currently 6C and dropping fast. Disgruntled.
@0x1C Yeah, could be. [Shrugs.] The world’s a fickle place and I’m an arsehat.
@SnarkyPlatypus Well obviously.
@NicholasFryer It still sounds very suspicious if you ask me!
I suspected that the idea of the Corrupted Nerds podcast would pull ahead of the others. stilgherrian.com/personal/choos…
@michaelneale @timfdavis I don’t know what you mean. Obviously.
@NicholasFryer It’s sounding like you want a servant!
@timfdavis How many jellybeans are in the jar?
RT @jplonie: there’s a square root joke in there somewhere. [Only if you’re like 15 years old.]
Yep, I’m going to maths the fucker beyond all redemption.
Thanks @BobGrrl @RealNickHodge @SnarkyPlatypus @smperris @stufromoz @wobster @juhasaarinen
RT @timfdavis: a naive bayes classification algorithm [Wow, yes, I should just use every axis of measurement and maths the fucker.]
RT @juhasaarinen: Money and malleability. [Well, yes, that could be a point of view I suppose.]
RT @purserj: I thought axes would be used after deciding which ones to discard [Yes, yes, all in good time. Let’s get the first bit done.]
RT @StilCyber: cyber-Well, cyber-more. cyber-BTW, cyber-no-one cyber-apart cyber-from cyber-now, [That’s almost a protest chant.]
So hypothetically, if a friend were wanting to rate all the men he knew to decide which to discard, what would be the axes of measurement?
I might adopt #reallylegit as a thing that I say, since that’s what @triplejHack said that I say.
So there’s a #reallylegit internet poll in my blog post “Choosing my next media directions: you’re doing it, OK?” stilgherrian.com/personal/choos…
@duncanriley I’ll be interested to see what you think of Janetter. I’ve been using it quite a while, and tend not to explore alternatives.
Glad to see my piece “Backwards attitude to online identity erodes our power” still getting traffic. zdnet.com/backwards-atti…
@awelder @franksting Which fits with my disinterest in reporting on gadgets. Yes, the new one is better than the old one. Ho hum.
@awelder @franksting Aha. So not so much a “tech writer”, but a “writer who understands tech”, or brings those sensibilities. Science FTW!
@zerogeewhiz I don’t like their shifty little eyes.
@zerogeewhiz Thank you. By which I mean, fuck off.
@franksting Hah! Ta. Yet when I tried to objectively explain how @TurnbullMalcolm’s NBN policy was being pitched, the punters told me off!
RT @0x1C: @snare DID I SAY TERMINAL I MEANT CALCULATOR =] [Are you sure? I don’t think your story adds up…]
RT @0x1C: .@snare Well this works: system(“/bin/launchctl asuser 0 /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/MacOS/Terminal”); [HAHAHA!]
@franksting @awelder Quite often I think of dropping the “geek” from my Twitter bio, leaving it as “word-whore” and the topics I cover.
@franksting @awelder That’s most kind, thank you. But sometimes I do worry about being typecast as a “tech writer”. A little. [Shrugs.]
@lukebunyip Oh thank you, I’m glad the metaphor can be used in such widely different scenarios.
@RichardParnell @sylmobile Ah well, I’ll do the Penrith coverage at some point. But yes, you’re a week early. I arrive in SJC on Mon 13/5.
Says the WordPress Forums: “Your password has been reset and a new one has been mailed to you.” Arsehats.
I must admit, @sylmobile, live-tweeting a trip to Penrith Panthers or just sitting in a shopping mall could be quite fun.
New blog post: “Choosing my next media directions: you’re doing it, OK?” stilgherrian.com/personal/choos… Contain an internet poll. #reallylegit
@scottcarson1957 Ah, “squelch” used properly! The mark of a true comms tragic^H^H^H^H^H^H engineer!
@scottcarson1957 So that’s a Brian Eno song, right?
@scottcarson1957 “How?” So, have you heard of this thing called the “internet”? That’s kinda what it’s for. I think. Isn’t it?
@scottcarson1957 So, what you’re saying is that LAX is a false flag operation? Are these the Antarctic Nazi Lizards AGAIN? #chemtrails
Pondering my next podcast in a certain series, “The 9pm Gold Coast”.
@scottcarson1957 I have doubts about this so-called “Homeland Security”. All they seem to say to me is “Welcome back to America, Sir!”
True, @Beaker, but for most people that happens at around 0330 on a Sunday when the fourth pill is kicking in. Allegedly.
What @Beaker has failed to mention is that in the MIDDLE of his keynote he started talking to the lighting equipment. #lightwhisperer
Once more, I draw America’s attention to the disturbing reality of my arrival there this coming Saturday. stilgherrian.com/personal/visit…
@Beaker It was not DURING your keynote. You asked if anyone had questions, and I had a question. Well, more of a speech, really.
@RealNickHodge OHAI. Do you have a world today?
RT @Beaker: There MAY be tequila in the vicinity [Good God, man, you know what to do!]
@19bk69 Nah, the actual building of the technology is the work of minions. Engineers and suchlike. It is none of my concern.
@19bk69 @mpesce @JohnBirmingham I don’t understand why I am in this question. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
@dufussy This is true. But I do, in fact, have gas again.
We have bottled flames again. And no gas leaks, because I checked, not like that other time which never actually happened so you are wrong.
Having dealt with the DNS problem, it’s now time to find the spanner and lug the 65kg LPG cylinder so I can have a hot shower.
@juhasaarinen I’m fairly sure that we should stop now.
Just stumbled upon my 2011 presentation “Tweeting your way out of Paranoia” (13 min), and it still works today. stilgherrian.com/internet/tweet…
@juhasaarinen Are you sure that’s not the wrong kind of India?
RT @shiftkey: @stilgherrian “it’s a Unix system, I know this!” [“Hey 1968 called, they want their operating system back”? OK, DNS != 1968.]
Right. Having gathered many log lines of evidence, I’ve delegated it all to a support engineer. That’s why the Good Lord invented India.
Editing /etc/named.conf, because I can. Ancient knowledge is returning to the front burner of my brain.
Yeah I probably should have checked the back-translation. Still, the introduction of shaving to the dialog makes things much better.
@SnarkyPlatypus Non J’ai l’intention de raser au sol nu. S’il vous plaît envoyer de l’argent et de la drogue.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis plein de pensées, mais la plupart des idées sont sur le système de nom de domaine. Et vous?
@joelwerner @Manic_Henry This all looks a bit wrong too, as well as sounding wrong. abc.net.au/radionational/… Ping @SnarkyPlatypus
Noting that my nice hot Sunday morning shower will be delayed until I can be arsed swapping over the 65kg LPG cylinder.

@jeffsonstein Yeah I’m not very good at the sloth part. My life needs a bit of simplification.
Sun plan, draft: Washing and cleaning and tidying and filing and stuff; blog post; sketch out an article I want to write; sloth.
RT @jstogdill: Quick. Name the Great Lakes. [OK, I name them Simon Peter, because tradition.]
There is a man on the radio glueing things to the back of a platypus. That sounds a bit wrong to me. #abcrn
Good morning, Sunday.
@michaelneale I believe that ABC news car photo to be “real”. For some value of real. I’ve had that image for ages.
