“Canada: practising Obamacare since 1966.” Well played, @CBCThisIsThat, well played.
@RealNickHodge What did I do to deserve that?

The forecast is for a minimum of 0C tonight, but it’s already down to 2C before 1900. We’ll be a’going sub-zero.
@SnarkyPlatypus It’s certainly a lovely little website to browse through.

@oberonsghost I’m trying to figure out where it was. I assume it’s gone now.

@Sam_Hickey @bunjaree It would appear that a better name is ice pellets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_pelle… Hailstones are 5mm or larger.
@R_Chirgwin I am nearly always the wrong person.
@R_Chirgwin I haven’t said anything about Albo. Not for months.

@R_Chirgwin What were you replying to there? Confused.
Light hail has just started at @bunjaree, such tiny fluffy hailstones they’re almost closer to snow.
5at5daily There won’t be a 5at5 again today, sorry. Computer problems have ruined everything. Everything.
@darrenpauli You are such an arsehole.
@MsLods Well it’s nice to be able to blame something on @joshgnosis for a change.
Today has not gone to plan.
@jonoabroad I was going to take it in yesterday for another go, but I was running late and thought I’d figured out a workaround.
And the radio is done. I’ll try to post the audio at some point, but I’m really still sulking about my computer being an unreliable arsehat.
On hold with ABC @ 936hobart to talk copyright law reform re online infringement. Listen in at abc.net.au/hobart/ #copdis
“Piracy discussion paper focuses on copyright stick not content carrot”, wrote @joshgnosis yesterday. zdnet.com/piracy-discuss… #copdis
The Attorney-General’s discussion paper on online copyright infringement is at ag.gov.au/Consultations/… #copdis
NewtonMark We could get a Freedom Commissioner on to that if his REAL job wasn’t cleaning Soapy’s Fleshlight.
Snow in SE Tasmania today down to 100m. It’s leading their news. Heavier than predicted.
I must say, I do chuckle every time I use that hashtag #copdis. Nice work, whoever did that.
I’ll be talking about the A-G’s copyright discussion paper on ABC @ 936hobart at 1610 AEST. Listen in at abc.net.au/hobart/ #copdis
Sulking.
And… there goes the computer again. #incandescentrage
Me at @crikey_news yesterday: “Applying for 40 jobs? There’ll be an AppApp for that” crikey.com.au/2014/07/31/app…
@perissology Thanks very much. That was commissioned by @crikey_news rather than as a pitch from me. I think Guy Rundle’s idea, even.
@troyhunt It should count as defective, so they should swap it.
@troyhunt That one book hasn’t been through the guillotine to trim the page edges. I couldn’t say whether it’s common, but it happens.
Neither @rashasman nor @RealNickHodge are helping.
Fri plan, draft: Sausages and codeine; write for @zdnetaustralia; train to Sydney; @5at5daily en route; dinner; remainder TBA.

I am not yet ready to face the world, and vice versa.
Temperature 4.6C. Apparent temperature -4.5C. Minus four point five Celcius. Trollemperature.
I don’t know why I want a cardigan. I just have this overpowering desire for a cardigan this morning. A lust, if you will.
Fetch me a cardigan.
Friday. There is a sense of hope, but you are deluded. The week’s misery will simply make way for the weekend’s, then vice versa. Friday.
@SnarkyPlatypus Thank you. I don’t think it will happen, but we’ll see.
Having phoned ahead to arrange a taxi to meet me at the station, I am nod back at @bunjaree and horizontal.
@NicholasFryer There is all that, but it’s a very different feel arriving at a Blue Mountains station alone in the wee hours. And cold.
DJBentley A bot that detects Anchorman quotes in a Twitter bio and tweets “You’re really boring.” at that person.
@ApostrophePong Yes, it looks like you have quite a few train journeys.
Bullaburra.
@jbevear Yeah the 0018 Central to Lithgow is some strange relic of the industrial age, as far as I can tell.

Penrith.
Blacktown.
@NicholasFryer On the Gawler line, the late night driver would stop between stations to let me jump off, ‘cos it was closer to my house.
@NicholasFryer Mind you, I think he was as stoned as I was. Allegedly. Times have changed.
@ApostrophePong I’ve been watching your photos. I am jealous of your holiday.
@TheFailedProjek Oh. You must be one of the people I complain about.
It’s a four-car double deck train with maybe 20 or 30 passengers.
We’ve arrived at Strathfield too early and must wait two minutes. That’ll teach the driver to fang it. #workingclassslang
@TheFailedProjek Maybe there’s a Penrith train at that time, but the last Blue Mountains service is 0018.
We are scheduled to arrive at Wentworth Falls at 0213.
There’s something kinda special and quiet but also nostalgic about the post-midnight trains.
Leaving people to their own devices.
The 0018 train to Lithgow departs Sydney Central station.
jamesrbuk Starting to wonder if Silicon Valley is a conspiracy to concentrate the world’s most unbearable people right on the San Andreas fault.
