- SAVE XP NOW! Go here http://snurl.com/20mzi to sign the petition, XP = svelt green tree frog, Vista = billious bloated poisonous cane toad. #
- Hey wow Happy 1st LeaP YeaR (4 years, already that long ago?!) Wedding Anniversary to @Headwellred and @aDB. Way to go guys! #
- @sioksiok Good day
Warhol’s “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.” has become Twitter’s 15 nanoseconds of attention? # - Yesterday, gold passed US$960. Today, gold at US$970 and headline oil price just under US$103. Now it gets interesting. My tip: buy silver #
- Twitter appears to have browned-out… page still loading but not much new coming through… ah well, I’m going offline awhile. Later! #
- ABC TV has a show on reviewing history of computer games, from text based MUDs into graphical online gaming. 1996 at the moment. Flashbacks! #
- ABC Australian Broadcasting Commission. Show is called Good Game. They just showed Sid Meier’s Pirates from 1986, amazing to see that again! #
- http://abc.net.au/goodgame great to see some gaming history #
- Rage just started… THE KILLS – Cheap and Cheerful #
- THE WHIP – Trash. Looks like it’s gonna be a kickin’ rockin’ punkin’ night on Rage tonight! #
- @notaphysicist Seriously considering going to that book sale @ Ku-ring-gai tomorrow. “Hello, my name is Bradley and I’m a book-a-holic.” #
- @notaphysicist I’m compare-reading “The Murdoch Archipelago” Bruce Page, “The Chief: The Life of William Randolf Hearst” David Nasaw #
- Fascinating how Murdoch’s media empire has been built on what he knows and does not publish, much more leverage than when it is published. #
- @jackhodgson Welcome back Jack! Where have you been and what you been up to? #
- @jackhodgson Just got a snapshot of your travels from your recent updates. How is your father doing? #
- @notaphysicist compare-reading is a thing I do. Pick two people with superficial commonalities and read their key biographies simultaneously #
- @notaphysicist in this case two media moguls who built empires on newsprint, obvious choice to compare today’s Citizen Kane with yesterday’s #
- @Danacea Booo indeed. Doubtless fiscally frustrating but not catastrophic. Almost certainly better than being nobbled by shock lumbagos. #
- @notaphysicist I started reading books at age six. Still waiting for that gestalt moment 31 years later. Just kidding, had a few already. #
- @notaphysicist I’m at around 150 open tabs across three PCs, agree it’s not optimal for laser-focused productivity. Don’t even mention email #
- “Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul.” – Walt Whitman #
- @Danacea No ‘e’ in ‘lumbagos’ in Mirriam-Webster. Checking Oxford Concise Australian now… no plural listed there. From Latin lumbus ‘loin’ #
- Wondering would my head explode if I closed all 150 open browser tabs on three PCs without saving sessions? #
- @Danacea You’re most welcome and may your lumbar region be ever free from rheumatic aches, except after long bicycle rides, that’s expected. #
- @notaphysicist Not sure I’m up for that shock, that’s why I have a well-developed session-saving reflex. #
- @Danacea A wise man from Glasgow once taught me rule of three 8’s. 8 hrs each for work, leisure, sleep. I oscillate betwixt 4/8/12 & 16/4/4. #
- Apparently my ISP’s idea of throttling my connection to 128Kbps includes completely preventing any online video from buffering and playing. #
- Turkish armed forces withdrawing from northern Iraq. Declared kills: 244 PKK Kurds & 27 Turks. I guess they call that a win. Nice work Turk. #
