Oh, before I go…
OK, that’s enough from me. Despite a concerted effort to kill me through sanook maak I’m going to get some sleep. Gorn.
@ApostrophePong Gee thanks.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Ah! So you took the DC contact. 9/3 or 3/1 x 3?
RT @kazonis: Could have just narrowed it down to Eddie Mcguire and VB and still won.

@jeffsonstein Not as important as knowing where to get good tub waan.
RT @Raven_AB: RBA advice: How to spot fake notes https://t.co/vusngrkHTz https://t.co/J2LfUd1tBR
@jonrussell Well @ApostrophePong can help you find good tub waan in BKK. Though he was the tub waan that Wit makes here in SYD is better.
I remember! The two guys and the Beer Chang promo gir found a mid-value Pokémon in the bar so we started talking. https://t.co/RbBXsmGihW
@jeffsonstein @wibbly Look just effing well vote as your heart tells you do I have to do everything.
@jonrussell Hah! That was a great night, and @ApostrophePong was so drunk I had to deal with the taximeter to get back to the hotel.
@jonrussell @ApostrophePong If I need to explain tub waan then we can’t be friends.
@KrazyKarl910 So let’s agree that we stop this conversation now, yeah?
@KrazyKarl910 I’m assuming that in this instance DP doesn’t mean “double penetration�
POLL: Am I a bad person? https://t.co/TWxRdFl6jd
@KrazyKarl910 Yeah, they like tweets going back years in the hope that you’ll click through
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Heh. I think it’s funny that the best tub waan is in Sydney. But these boys agreed. Wit is a good chef.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell We’d basically had a bonding experience over som tum and tub waan stories.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell I asked them whether it as good as Wit at C and they said yes but different… Tho it’s Oxford St customers.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Heh. Well these two young guys are from Chiang Rai and Isan and say this new restaurant is very good…
@ivovic Much appreciated then. :)
@ivovic Well I know that. :q
@ivovic Ah. I haven’t seen the last N Bond films for some relatively high value of N.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Once we’d agreed that the C was #verythai and Mr B’s was for backpackers it was a meeting of minds.
@ApostrophePong @jonrussell Yeah I was being interrogated about how well I knew Silom. I passed. Sanook maak next Thursday apparently.
@ivovic I have no idea who that is.
@JonoH I have no idea and these people basically pwn me so I do what they say.
There’s a lot happening in this tweet but the problem with the machine is that it needs separate cold vodka storage. https://t.co/k7xJOOx8BO
@twiddlekins That’s fine. We all face uncertain death.

@jonrussell Having been with @ApostrophePong for a decade, the local Thaitown pub for Thai locals is kinda home.
Well this is a complicated question. https://t.co/kXxkYUSLix
@jonrussell No no, I’m in Thaitown in Sydney. This is the local pub. There’s another pub in Thaitown, but that one is for backpackers.
Beer Chang / Bangkok Airways promo girls. Right. #thiswillendwell
I’ll go sit in the corner for a while before getting the tram back to Lilyfield.

@expectproblems Click through to that careers page though. They’re after a lot of different types of people.
Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) is currently recruiting, it seems. https://t.co/5Ek5MeBTLk https://t.co/cZL0r6Vh8a
Yep, @Steve_Lockstep @TFeakin_ASPI, ASD does uni internships and high school work experience. https://t.co/QlkTLrAwZE
@munin Plus being vastly smaller than the NSA, and ASD has to work smarter and get ’em young. ;)
That said, I still find it amusing that a classified intelligence organisation does school work experience. @Steve_Lockstep @TFeakin_ASPI
Actually, @Steve_Lockstep @TFeakin_ASPI, it’s good to see ASD doing more promotion of their work experience program. https://t.co/BwqFaDZi4u

@christopherneal @jturner_ibrs @GregDAustin I thought of that. I guess it’s whether you concentrate solely on critical stuff or drill down.
@christopherneal @jturner_ibrs @GregDAustin My pleasure. It’s interesting watching these proposals evolve.
@christopherneal @jturner_ibrs @GregDAustin The link is in par 4 of my yarn. https://t.co/WqEBs1TSko
@jturner_ibrs Yeah I know that you and @GregDAustin are very much on the same page here. There’s much sense coming out of ADFA this year.
MrTimCallanan If you laid all of Melbourne’s “Most Liveable” awards on the ground you could almost make a rail line to the airport.
@jturner_ibrs I assume you saw my finished column on @GregDAustin’s discussion paper?
@munin Pretty much. We’ve only sent regulars to Afghanistan so far, I think. I might check with Defence media relations, now that you ask.
@ddowza @MadScotty @zdnetaustralia I suspect you’re right. Bu@jturner_ibrsrs is the full bottle on this stuff.
@munin Yep. I know the usual Reserves deal is X weekends plus 2 weeks training per year. They’re well regarded.
@munin So paid for the time doing training etc, yes, and it’s tax-free.
@munin Aust has a strong tradition of community volunteering, but the suggestion is something like Defence Reserves. https://t.co/bziCf6j1iK
@HappySinger Thank you.
@munin Anyway @jturner_ibrs was the one suggesting press gangs, and even that fascist has moderated his views.
@munin Oops.
There is indeed a shortage of skilled people, @ddowza @zdnetaustralia. Hey @jturner_ibrs have you got the current figures handy?
@munin I’m sure there’s an element of flattery in there. But the discussion paper is an interesting read. Also, “discussion paperâ€.

@jodiem Smart Dust as a concept has been around since the 1990s, but we’ve finally getting to technical possibilityen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartdust7S
@Beaker @vmtyler Perhaps it’s because I’m media and not building things, but for me the Hype Cycle is one of the more useful tools.
