Actually the pantomime horse is the only creature with an arsehole at each end.
RT @snerdish @stilgherrian who is in which end of the pantomime horse? [The only interesting question IMO.]
Oh and I see the Assange Family Players are staging another amateur theatrical. Excellent.
It’s a good thing the US has staged an Apple launch as a distraction from the political problems. Well played.
tweeveetv 19,000 #QandA Tweets from 4,500 people tonight. 7% of those people commented on @TurnbullMalcolm’s leather jacket. 5% on Saudi Arabia.
Well that whole sequence of events had a glorious informality in relation to its business… erm, thingy.
I’d forgotten how comprehensively shit this television program is. I am becoming more stupid with every minute.
They have put that television program on in the front bar. It’s worse than turning off the music and turning up the lights.
Twitter does seem very quiet on a Monday if you filter out all the TV and sportsball-related tweets.
@SnarkyPlatypus @michaelneale @R_Chirgwin @JohnBirmingham Well if you’re offering…
RT @JohnBirmingham: @stilgherrian @R_Chirgwin long walk for a little bloke [And for a big bloke.]
@michaelneale @R_Chirgwin @JohnBirmingham You can store all sorts of things inside Taiga. http://t.co/UiQERRl9eB
Here we go, @R_Chirgwin, for those who don’t know Taiga. “Taiga Goes to the Pub” http://t.co/Us749J1pGz
@R_Chirgwin Imagine Taiga converted to a hot water bottle!
You’d think if Google was paying $1.3 billion for a company they’d at least insist they spell their name properly.
I do love the fact that the NSA has activity books for kids. Oh, @yinettesys, I have a spare copy earmarked for you.
@gusworldau @R_Chirgwin WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
RT me: Decipher Dog! instagram.com/p/aUDP97CFjG/
RT @Me: From my friends at the NSA, for kids everywhere (in America) instagram.com/p/aUDDZciFiz/
RT @gusworldau: @stilgherrian I DARE YOU to try a white wine bolognese. [I am not a complete idiot.]
That last OH was also from the proponent of deploying snipers. I’m starting to like her, despite her fags-and-bourbon accent.
OH: “How bad was this Bolognese? Did you use red wine? You’ve gotta use red wine.”
RT @jeamland: @stilgherrian Cyberjeggings. [Well for the cyberladies, obviously.]
Cyberhoodies.
I must remind @dobes at this point of @mikko’s collection of Hackers with Hoodies. http://t.co/BxYU3cuOxR
RT @glengyron: my bad, it’s a bubble and they’re all going to physically explode when it bursts. [Yes. Obviously.]
SnarkyPlatypus Vodka helps decision making.
@glengyron Look, if you don’t mind I’d rather you keep all these so-called “facts” out of the way of my feelpinion.
RT @cri: Google To Buy Waze For $1.3 Billion cri.ch/p796 [Think of these acquisitions as high-tech musical chairs. Bubble burst.]
There seems to be a dispute as to whether certain events actually happened or whether it was a TV commercial for beer.
She’s pretty damn passionate on the subject of snipers. She has the build of someone who might have done a bit of this work.
An old woman has just complained about traffic on the highway and called for the deployment of snipers. Seems knowledgeable on the topic.
OH, front bar informal trivia: “What’s the name of Julia Gillard’s dog?” “Bill Shorten!”
Yep, @semlouise @emmackat, and it’s like that every weekend, not just at the end of a holiday Monday.

J’ai convoquée le taxi.
@SnarkyPlatypus Je comprends. Ma vie contient de nombreuses différences. Il arrive. Je hausse les épaules. Pour la plupart.
@SnarkyPlatypus Et vous?
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. La température baisse, et les approches du solstice. Je deviens irrité. La taverne va bientôt résoudre ce problème.
RT @ivovic: We have one Clive Palmer… this is far and away NOT the only example of public anime pillow love :P [Fair point.]
Actually, @ivovic, I think it’s cruel to pin that bloke’s… erm, personal oddities on an entire nation. We have Clive Palmer, after all.
RT @ivovic: @stilgherrian brought to you by the same nation which brought us this: http://t.co/UHDnst4Ndf http://t.co/UQAUzFO1mi
@skinnyraptor @artywah Yes, I had figured out that was the strategy.
So Samsung actually put, on the Galaxy S4 lock screen, “Life Companion” in cheesy type. Thought I was being trolled. http://t.co/fYP4lIgU3e
@eldonnn It’s a literary reference. For some value of “literary”.
@eldonnn Surely that only works if you’re Chinese. Or a fucking horse.
Are you a horse? Are you a fucking horse?
mikedelic stuff keeps happening
Horse_ebooks Why is the calendar
Listening to another fine @onthemedia podcast “Surveillance Revelations, Turkish Media Looks Away, and More” onthemedia.org/2013/jun/07/
I suppose the plus side is that I got a lot of work done. On a long weekend. Y-fucking-ay for me.
So the weather in the Upper Blue Mountains is running according to forecast, which is cold with dribbly half-arsed rain and annoyingly.
RT @paulkidd: http://t.co/ZJoMwjWqyW [That was the brief for my column The Full Tilt. http://t.co/yk2c5R2hhT http://t.co/8WHQmHr3hB … ]
Shouting at a cache. Which is in a cloud.
@davidgerard Yes, Sampression Lite looks like an adequate starting-point for the pilot series. How did you de-skeuomorph the paper curls?
@jodiem @chieftech “SharePoint”? But it’s a podcast, not an internal phone directory and annoying compliance spreadsheets from HR.
@chieftech This would be the argument against FOSS then? ;)
@nifmoran Bah! @mpesce wouldn’t know “polite” if it scooted out of his arse on razor-wire roller skates!
And no documentation? The CODE is the documentation? No, the point of YOU being the developer is so that I DON’T HAVE TO READ FUCKING CODE.
Somehow “perpetual beta” mutated from a call for innovation into an excuse for shoving never-finished stuff onto the suffering public.
I suppose this is the never-quite-working future we’ll be stuck with because it MUST be built by a bunch of spoiled ADHD-riddled egomaniacs.
Meanwhile, “Shockwave Flash has crashed”, Chrome informs me. Yes of course it fucking has. That’s what it does. Adobe Performance Art CS6.
Also, lime green a your highlight colour? Make it stop. Lime green is not, has never been, and never will be suitable for polite company.
“This WordPress theme has 15 different page templates!” Yes, and none of them work properly. How about making just one that fucking works?
There, @davidgerard @jodiem, my immediately previous tweet summed up the universe of WordPress theme.
WordPress themes built by developers have too many moving parts and look pig-ugly. Those built by designers look nice but simply don’t work.
@davidgerard Yes, I’ve chosen a seemingly acceptable starting theme, but I’ve already had to patch it. I’ll hurl myself into a ditch later.
@johnb78 Perhaps (I don’t know), but WordPress is what I know and I don’t neeant/ wnt to spend more than a day on this.
@johnb78 True, but there’s also the chicken-egg thing of producing content to flesh out the theme (images etc) before you choose it.
@johnb78 So, thank you for confirming my worst fears before I’ve even begun. I might as well load the gun now.
That WordPress theme selection task would be made easier if I hadn’t maxed out the plastic before the banking system took a 3-day break.
The hardest part of the website thingy will be selecting a WordPress theme that works without me having to rip huge chunks out of it.
Mon plan, draft: Finish setting up a website for the SEKRIT podcast, breaking for lunch in a nearby village; plan the rest of the week.
@llament Oh silly me, I muddled my timezones. I’m sure Her Majesty isn’t even up to the fourth nightcap yet.
“Happy Birthday, Your Majesty.” That said, I suspect that the Queen is not yet awake. Unless young Harry has been at the pills.
