Ah, and now I get copied on all the tweets from people wanting to screech at @TurnbullMalcolm. I should be paid extra for this.

via Janetter for Mac

I get the feeling that @TurnbullMalcolm letting his passion flow has made this NBN post one of his more powerful. http://t.co/fYCD6HslPO

@dobes “Loose” is the theme for the day.

Here’s @TurnbullMalcolm’s response to that site with the NBN speed comparisons on it. http://t.co/fYCD6HslPO

@missayme @missayme The “ridiculously complex” comment kinda supports my point. The vast majority of work doesn’t need that.

Idealaw Do you remember the days when every website was a ‘portal’? On the ‘global information superhighway’?

@ThomBus Oh now THAT is scenario I could support!

via Janetter for Mac

@missayme Hah! Someone with 10y experience being better than a n00b, sure, but 10+ years to get “any degree of competency”? I call bullshit.

And… there goes the electricity at @bunjaree.

The whole relationship between the design industry and Adobe really is a Stockholm Syndrome thing, isn’t it. Monkeys only know one toolset.

RT @awelder: @stilgherrian @vicsig PT is greater than what? [Greater than nothing, apparently. Or possibly greater than a folding door.]

via Janetter for Mac

@NickEvershed @HacksHackersSYD Thanks very much for the heads-up. Alas (well, not that alas), I am in The America next week.

I’m thoroughly enjoying @scottcarson1957’s continuing series of Cold War memorabilia tweets right now.

RT @jeamland: I need a plugin that replaces any “Read More Comments” link/button with a “Kill Yourself” button.

RT @scottcarson1957: Russian & Manchurian Strategic Urban Areas - 1945: pic.twitter.com/4S32b38af7 [The graphic style is very much of its time.]

via Janetter for Mac

Do you know who uses phrases like “best-of-breed solution”? Fucktards, that’s who.

via Janetter for Mac

@scottcarson1957 Indeed. KIds are a lot more robust than the whole “they are fragile must protect them” brigade are on about.

And yes, @diginomica is also on the Twitters.

I see that @dahowlett’s has launched. Ecce Diginomica! diginomica.com

I find it amusing that some folks reckon their own particular brand of misery, out of a vast constellation, should be off-limits for satire.

via Janetter for Mac

@Colvinius @TheOnion @prachigu Well indeed, the whole point is to be discomforting, or worse. But oh no, we must not offend. Sigh.

via Janetter for Mac in reply to Colvinius

@paulkidd Oh nicely played! [Grin.] But I am of course in favour of violence against pretty much everyone.

via Janetter for Mac in reply to paulkidd

RT @alexbrewer: Unless the comment is by Twitter the company. [Yes, I suppose people ARE so stupid we need to point that out. Sigh.]

via Janetter for Mac

This is so basic! We don’t say “according to the telephone” or “according to a piece of paper”. What is WRONG with you people?

via Janetter for Mac

There’s no such thing as “according to Twitter”, only “according to <specific named people>” who might have been using Twitter.

via Janetter for Mac

If you see some thought, believe or intention attributed to “the internet” or “Twitter” or “social media”, assume the author is a fraud.

via Janetter for Mac

I hadn’t “lost faith” in @TheOnion. Does this mean I’m not “the internet”? Daft generalisations are daft, @prachigu. http://t.co/hC3zTN0kcr

I say, @BernardKeane’s take on “the Singlehouse ‘scandal’” is a suitably snarky piece. Bravo. http://t.co/1bGvizOIn7

@dobes @BernardKeane You’re such a grub, Chris. You’re such a sad figure.

Yeah look, @dobes @BernardKeane, why don’t you two STFU and stay on your little communist lovefest island?

via Janetter for Mac

Dear Everyone Reporting on NBN, don’t use “homes” and “premises” interchangeably. They’re not the same. Businesses are premises too!
