Here is/was @SenatorLudlam’s Ask Me Anything in Reddit. reddit.com/r/IAmA/comment…
Wed plan, draft: Blog post(s); NetSuite SuiteWorld, Day 2; SUITEcelebration with Cake and DJ Dojah; writing for the money. #nsw13
RT @AnnabelAstbury: And lolwat ping @stilgherrian pic.twitter.com/aFH8WZgoLl [Oh what the actual fuck? That is a bit wrong.]
RT @kcarruthers: Yes @katedoak it is now time for people to suggest alternatives to tequila for @stilgherrian [“Now… time” being 6am.]
RT @katedoak: @kcarruthers @stilgherrian Pffft…. Tequila…. Try some of this, Still..thecorridor.fishvision.com/product_images…UIzVql [OH YES HERE WE GO.]
RT @chrisjrn: Tequila Mockingbird? Sounds tasty: drinksmixer.com/drink2334.html [Oh Jesus wept, that looks… creme de menthe? WTF?]
It’s because I’m a currawong, isn’t it. You’re using tequila to mock a bird.
What do you mean? There is no such thing as “tequila”. You just made that up to mock me.
Oh. I am awake. It is now Wednesday in The America. Hello. Why does it hurts?
RT @TerrorBite: Magpies are cool and currawongs are the essence of evil [You mean like this? flickr.com/photos/stilghe… Ping @firstdogonmoon.]
RT @cheshireb @stilgherrian @firstdogonmoon I was tempted by the “I’m having feelings” dog [How could you not be?]
Consider yourself told instagram.com/p/ZUmrrXiFpf/
People who can’t tell the difference between currawongs and magpies. #IceMoonPrison
It’s a currawong, arsehat.
I have stolen a @firstdogonmoon thing. I am shameless.
HOW COME YOU HAVE WASABE PEAS WHY DON’T I HAVE ANY WASABE PEAS THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
So we were told @ZachNelson had invited us back for drinks, and there were drinks, but no @ZachNelson. Is he really a fraud? #nsw13
@jonoabroad No, that’s not what “open bar” means.
So @SenatorLudlam is doing an Ask Me Anything on Reddit at 1930 AEST tonight. Ask him about his special burlesque shows.

“Bring me the world’s media, serve them wine and food and have them make merry.”
To paint an accurate picture, this is a bus of wine-filled journalists from around the planet being summoned to MOAR DRINKZ. Nothing cou …
Yeah all the San Jose jokes have already been done so get over it people.
This will not end well instagram.com/p/ZUWSmLCFsq/
Oh. They’ve given us a takeaway bottle each, but now @ZachNelson has summoned us back to San Jose for MOAR DRINKZ.
So all these other people have denuded the cheese platter before I could try. WTF? #denudedcheeseplatter
Current key words: ‘Californian wine’, ‘experiential learning’.

It’s just gone 1700 PDT. In 30 mins we’re off to the press dinner at Testarossa Winery, Los Gatos. testarossa.com #nsw13
@SnarkyPlatypus It is a certain pathetic kind of liberation…
So @crikey_news has too much Budget today, and I need not file a news cycle yarn for anyone else. So I can Think for a while. Yay.
Goodness.

“NetSuite aims for SAP’s manufacturing heart”, writes @ldignan in a not-at-all-bad summary of the strategy. zdnet.com/netsuite-aims-… #nsw13
Oh maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to tweet that.
Look, “budget black hole” is just politically incorrect. Please refer to a “value-for-money sex worker of colour”.

@richardtuffin So is cutting the chestnut R&D levy a good thing or a bad thing for them? I am so conflicted.

I hadn’t realised that Australia’s chestnut research and development levy had been cut from $50 to $45 per tonne of chestnuts.

@SnarkyPlatypus C’est une aubaine parfaite, dit Le Diable.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. J’ai besoin de plus de sommeil. Mais à la place, je me donne la nourriture, du vin et de l’information. Et vous?
Tue plan, 1330 PDT update: Write story pitches; write for @crikey_news; write whatever else is needed today; hope dinner can still be done.

Chilp Eat local produce. Eat your neighbors.
@jeamland You need a cloud. A cloud would have fixed that for you.
RT @fscavo: Zach attempting to out-Benioff Benioff “Salesforce-com is not CRM” #nsw13 [Nice way of putting it. For some value of “nice”.]
@jeamland Is a thing broken? DID YOU BREAK A THING?
RT @BrentLeary: Nelson: we’re the only CRM system that has customer data in it, it’s called orders. #nsw13 [Practical worldview, IMHO.]

Great question from @benkepes on social stuff in NetSuite… @ZachNelson says social is important, just not a standalone business. #nsw13
NetSuite CEO @ZachNelson introduces the panel in the press/analyst briefing #nsw13 instagram.com/p/ZTWqvUiFof/
Keynote ends. #nsw13
Memjet on stage now, talking about their use of NetSuite and Autodesk PLM 360. They have engineers in Australia, apparently. #nsw13
@AutodeskPLM360 Not that you’re biased. ;) Sure, I’ll get back to you once my editors in Sydney have woken up and confirmed interest.
Autodesk guy claims they’re never had a PLM system take longer than four days to implement. #nsw13
Autodesk PLM (product lifecycle management) will integrate with NetSuite for Manufacturers. Is this as cool as I think it sounds? #nsw13
“It turns out the cloud is perfect for heavy-duty applications like engineering,” says the Autodesk guy. So that’s that then. #nsw13
@jeamland Hey, I’ve heard worse business models.
Watching another corporate video. Deciding that polygons are now way, way too cheap. #nsw13
NetSuite announces partnership with Autodesk. #nsw13
CORRECTION: NetSuite for Manufacturers. Planning, supply, WIP etc #nsw13
NetSuite for Manufacturing announced, after two years in stealth development, to fix the “hairball on steroids”. #nsw13
BrianSSommer NS’s unified billing for hardware/software firms - this is actually a real problem - nice to see someone going after this #NSW13
ATechcom and the obligatory stab at SAP from Nelson “While SAP is talking about databases, we’re helping build businesses” #NSW13
RT @dahowlett: “Of course there’s a database underneath [in NetSuite] but who cares?” #nsw13 [My edit.]
Constant little pokes at SAP from @ZachNelson for having “databases in the cloud” now. #nsw13
Calling wholesale distributors “heroes” is a serious debasement of the concept of hero, particularly when at war in Central Asia. :( #nsw13
And now @ZachNelson is about to explain “the next transformation”, which is Suite for Industry. #nsw13
@jeamland No. “Wailing”.
Williams-Sonoma saying SuiteCloud enabled them to give Bondi Junction, Australia, customers the same 3-channel experience. #nsw13
John Strain, CIO of Williams-Sonoma, a $4 billion retailer, explaining their SuiteCommerce deployment. #nsw13
Did @ZachNelson just claim SuiteCommerce is the ONLY ecommerce system that’s omni-channel? [Note to self: check recording.] #nsw13
For SuiteCommerce, during Q1 2012 they got 70% new business growth. #nsw13
We now have the “Built for NetSuite” standards so that third-party mods will work together in NetSuite. #nsw13
Yeah this slogan. “SuiteCloud: the last mile comes standard”. I had a crash blossom on that sentence. I think I’ve got it now. Maybe. #nsw13
NetSuite announces new partnership with Capgemini. #nsw13
“Winning and scaling” is a slogan here. #nsw13
So we have a chat between @ZachNelson and Norm Fjeldheim, CIO of Qualcomm. We’re learning that cloud really is a thing now. Gosh. #nsw13
The term “last mile” is being redefined here somehow to mean part of a business model. Stand by for the unravelling. #nsw13
A big new thing this year will be NetSuite for Manufacturing, but we’ll get to that. #nsw13
Cf NetSuite’s 49% growth, @ZachNelson says: “They shouldn’t call [it] Microsoft Dynamic, they should call it Microsoft Static.” Ouch. #nsw13
NetSuite’s 2003 revenue was USD 8.3M. Forward projections for FY2013 is USD 408M. #nsw13
Why doesn’t every business use NetSuite, asks @ZachNelson. Because not all companies are “entrepreneurial”, he says. #nsw13 #codeword
And @ZachNelson begins his part of the ritual by name-checking successful customers. #nsw13
Something about butter in 1924. #nsw13
Lots of fast-moving vendor- and sponsor-related images on a screen half the length of the Mississippi. As these things are done. #nsw13
Oh FFS yes, there is loud music and a logo. Get on with it. #nsw13
Waiting for @ZachNelson’s keynote to start. The audio is at daft rave levels. Audio recorder at 16% to prevent overload. #nsw13
I have been advised by NetSuite PR that fruit cancels out bacon. #nsw13 instagram.com/p/ZS93KHiFsj/
Heading to the press lounge for breakfast. I’ve lots to absorb and write, so not sure how the tweet levels will go. #nsw13
@smperris When’s your birthday? It’s not only @Cmdr_Hadfield who can make music videos, you know.
