Midnight. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA111!!!1!!!one!HAHAHAHA.
@Conorwilsonium I know. At this point I bow to your superior knowledge of everything in the fucking universe. Because obviously. [Pats.]
Random strangers imagining they have some BIG FUCKING INSIGHT into one’s life and personality. Yeah, the world needs more of that.
@Conorwilsonium So you know the difference between “caring” and “idle late night drunken amusement”? Or are you just a fucktard?
Moscow has too many international airports. It’s confusing. But Trident should be able to sort that out.
RT @jdub: @stilgherrian He didn’t land at DME, it was SVO. :-) [Go fuck yourself. Nicely, obviously.]
I don’t know what to think about Snowden because it’s COMPLICATED and I don’t have all the facts. I’m glad YOU’VE got it all sorted. Moron.
Oh now it’s all about “duty” versus “rights” and all the fucking pre-decided arsehats are telling us what to think. FUCK. RIGHT. OFF.
#BREAKING Snowden flight departing DME (Moscow) delayed due to small arms damage from renegade FSB unit.
So everyone on the planet knows where Snowden is RIGHT NOW but clients can’t tell me where my payment is for last month’s invoices. Right.
Definitions of truth? Old: A 4-3 decision in SCOTUS. New: An unverified tweet that says #BREAKING. You are such arsehats.
I think I might put #BREAKING into all my tweets, to give the impression that I, too, have the faintest fucking idea what’s happening.
And yet, @brokep, “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” is pre-recorded, with awkward bits edited out. Yet we all pretend the Game is On. Live.
brokep Why are we guessing which route #Snowden is taking? Every ticket in the world is registered and data automatically copied to the US.
RT @RT_com: UPDATE: Ecuador’s diplomats arrive at airport where #Snowden has landed pic.twitter.com/CcqX6fzIS7 on.rt.com/jqm8cb [HAHAHA!]
@404ed This is true. A billion eyes on TV will keep him alive. Probably. Perhaps. The playbook doesn’t seem to have a chapter for this.
@semiboganman Is Slashdot still a thing?
@404ed “Not afraid of anything”? I imagine he’s shitting bricks.
@404ed Yep what Snowden revealed etc is indeed A Big Thing. But now we’re in the car chase scene and I don’t like popcorn. (Also, thanks.)
True, @semiboganman, I am an insensitive clod. And isn’t “clod” a word we don’t hear anywhere near often enough.
@404ed Anyway, I imagine you’ll be collecting Snowden from an airport somewhere, so I won’t keep you.
@404ed Erm, but I don’t imagine my podcasts or website are worth a 24/7 news cycle. I’m not aiming to affect your Monday.
@peter_tonoli Thanks, tho I can’t claim credit. It’s an extension of “recreational grief” and “recreational outrage”. http://t.co/mWiVKItbyz
@SnarkyPlatypus I know. Sigh. But I was too far down the production timeline etc etc. But then I wanted to do more reflective stuff.
@GordyPls Since your internet does not seem to have FUCKING SCROLL BAR then I direct you to corruptednerds.com
Dear Everyone, how does which airport Snowden lands at affect what YOU will be doing Monday morning? So, recreational espionage. Lovely.
Just my luck to launch a podcast while the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD is following the itinerary of someone that a month ago they’d never heard of.
@gattaca Hey if you want to hear more cybers than you’ve ever heard before… try this. ;) http://t.co/TzeGvDZn2c #cyber #cybercyber
Re that RT, at least it was at the dinner table, and not… later.
TumblrTXT with father and boyfriend at family dinner
me: Can you please pass the butter, Daddy?
father and boyfriend at same time: Okay.
The key question is whether corruptednerds.com is by, about or for corrupted nerds. Some sort of megamix of that, I guess.
@bigmac No, they want Official Documentation. And (this is my problem) Official Documentation of a Physical Address. But I’m working in it.
Oh dear. Yes, @bigmac, I suppose asking for donations in Bitcoin is How It Is Done These Days. Whatever happened to brown envelopes?
@bigmac Oh no! PayPal’s “donate” buttons are for registered non-profits only. Which is why my account is currently, erm, suspended.
In a word, @chrisjrn, “Yes.” Try the Corrupted Nerds Drinking Game:one shot every time we say “cyber” in that first episode.
chrisjrn So @stilgherrian started his new podcast with a Russian talking about missiles and warheads. Starting with the shark fully jumped?
RT @GreenJ: kill me now. “@NewStatesman: Lindsey Stirling, dancing dubstep violinist, is the prototype of a fully interactive pop star …â€
@e_kaspersky Our conversation (with SCADAgeddon and the world’s most beautifully decorated prison cell) is now online http://t.co/TzeGvDZn2c
@Andrew_Zammit Thanks, Andrew. Now all I have to do is figure out who’s paying for it. ;)
Look, @kcarruthers, podcasts were never like this when we did them as batch jobs on punch cards. Oh wait.
Oh. It might help if I turn on the CDN’s optimisation. I am an arsehat. Also, I probably should have tested it or something.
Thank you @chrisjrn @sylmobile @DrParnassus @CosmicRami @purserj, though Chris it ain’t particularly shouty today.

1. Blog post: “Launching Corrupted Nerds!”, being an explanation of sorts. http://t.co/6f6N1umDqc
So far we have three things at corruptednerds.com for you to consider. Well, three things that actually work. They are…
So, corruptednerds.com “Information, power, security and all the cybers in a global internet revolution that’s changing… everything!”
@ChrissieM There may be SEKRIT things with plinkies soon enough. But this is something new for now.
OK, I’ll stop fiddling with that so my cloudy CDN thingy can figure out what’s real and what isn’t.
So, there’s this… [cough] corruptednerds.com
RT @michaelneale: You know who else didn’t have valid RSS feeds… [True.]
T minus 30 minutes, and I am annoyed with the (non-)validation of RSS feeds… though that’s not a total show-stopper.
So @chrisjrn has pointed out my classic not/now typo. That bodes well. As does my choice of under construction / launch imagery.
It’s T minus 90 minutes and nearly everything is running to schedule. The SEKRIT things will soon now be SEKRIT. Lovely.

@ApostrophePong Well, #arabspring with T-Pop and fast canal boats.
@ApostrophePong Isn’t it a bit early in the year for protests? The farmers aren’t available yet for rent-a-crowd?

Humph! Can someone please tell @R_Chirgwin that’s it not about how many fingers you use but how fast you go.
@ApostrophePong Yep, there were two kinds of #whitemasks, Anonymous’ and another I didn’t recognise. Protesting against the PM’s family.
@firstdogonmoon @mrgrumpystephen I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you.

You people have no idea.

There’s even a picture of this effing Supermoon amazement. QUICK! LAUNCH THE BOGGLECOPTERS! http://t.co/X47VN2WF07
And it’s going to be SO fucking amazing? “They occur about once every 14 full moons.” Big effing whoop. You’ve been conned. Again. Arsehats.
What sort of stupid cunt calls something a “Supermoon”? Oh. A 1970s astrologer. Choose your words widely, people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermoon
@caseyjohnellis Oh thank you. I think.
The SEKRIT things progress according to plan. This pleases me.
@SnarkyPlatypus Satan a aussi écrit toutes les plaisanteries de pet.
@SnarkyPlatypus Je profite de la pluie pour l’instant, mais je ne vais pas apprécier d’avoir à voyager dans le mauvais temps ce soir.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. “Une hirondelle ne fait pas le printemps.” Je les observe néanmoins. Et vous?
@R_Chirgwin People have been notified. Some of them are even relevant to the issue.
New photo: “Dissatisfaction being expressed”, just now in Sydney’s Thaitown. flic.kr/p/eTk3PY
There shall now be pants, and boat noodle, and a brief errand. And then plans and SEKRIT things.
Thank you @ChrissieM @druey @HappySinger @glengyron @0x1C @marcoostini @shoerust and many others beyond the scroll. Appreciated.
@DanielOCnr Oh dear. That survived at least three sets of appropriate eyes, and all manner of others. Thanks, relevant people are informed.
@givemethecure Thank you, that’s most kind.
