  • OK musical peeps, I have two versions of a track and I need your opinion! See Breathe You In 1 & 2 on http://soundcloud.com/greebo-1 kthxbai #
  • I've actually been waking up from cold! Last night added a sleeping bag 🙂 RT @evcricket Minus 3! It's actually getting colder! #canbrrr #
  • Best thing about doing a creative collaboration with someone in a different timezone is you wake up to something inspiring 🙂 Thx @mideion! #
  • Photo of the day, my mum and I on a computer (she's setting up a network and I managed to break it <grin>) http://bit.ly/j1SpFj #

  • K, going out to get some things done now. Back later for more #trollday funs 🙂 #
  • /me sits back to await #startrek flammage with glee… #
  • .@purserj Oh I won't, mostly because I think Star Trek is the lame arse low budget distant cousin of (the original) Star Wars <naughtygrin> #
  • Had to read that twice before "oh Jayne", yeah 🙂 RT @zBeer @purserj I bet some days Jane could be classed as a high functioning zombie…. #
  • .@DavidLMackie But how do we categorise "dead"? Zombies have some brain function, Reavers have a bit more but are still pretty brain damaged #
  • That's why I said high functioning, & anyway, autopilot duh! 😉 RT @purserj: sorry if you can operate a spacecraft, you're not a zombie #
  • Just for @Du4 🙂 RT @piawaugh I wonder if a Reaver would be classified as a high functioning zombie? #Firefly Zombie Apocalypse #
  • I wonder if a Reaver would be classified as a high functioning zombie? #Firefly #zombieapocalypse #

  • Good call! RT @zBeer Buy them the ones who disappoint you a bottle of awesomesauce from thinkgeek 🙂 Now with extra awesome! #
  • ,@infoholic Yeah, that is a good point. Many people convinced at an early age to make do with mediocrity but they always h.e potential. #
  • Sometimes my belief that everyone has potential for awesomeness gets seriously trampled by reality. I try to remain optimistic. 🙂 #
  • Do any Canberra tweeps know where I could buy Peter Rabbit stensils? Can only find stuff online but need tmrw :/ #
  • That's me he's talking about! 😀 RT @mick_biddulph @klepas – voice is pure low-pitched gorgeousness. <- http://soundcloud.com/greebo-1/ #
  • Great article @timdunlop 🙂 I think we are going through important transition atm, yet some groups are resisting to the point of silliness #
  • Yo @klepas, check out the most recent three tracks at http://soundcloud.com/greebo-1/ and let me know what you think 🙂 #NIN #

  • Just uploaded another track, would love feedback! 🙂 "Breathe you in", another remix of the awesome @mideion 🙂 http://bit.ly/lEocek #
  • At Calvary hospital with sick friend. Amusingly a staffer told me the Adjustment Bureau was a good Christian story. Only at Calvary 🙂 #
  • Drove to yass from Canberra during "peak time". Anyone want to guess how many cars? Over 700!! If only the last bus back wasn't 1730 :/ #
  • I know it's considered wanky to listen to your own music, but I really do enjoy listening to this. http://bit.ly/ljX5oi #
  • OK, back to data visualisation playtime! Headphones on (check), awesome music (check), no distractions (hopefully), cup of tea (getting)… #
  • Brilliant RT @lods1211 NZ's MFAT has launched TPP Talk a column re #TPPA negotiations | http://bit.ly/ieNnUk via @techliberty #
  • Thx! They mount into a bag design 🙂 RT @jclarke61: @piawaugh you need one of these http://t.co/NcGJV0w (or a charging socket on the bike) #
  • I have managed to be drawn by trolls at least 3 times today. Must be something in the water… :/ #

  • I'm really glad I added @glynmoody to my "media" list 🙂 Thanks for all the great reading! #

  • ARGH, POPUPS! WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THEY MAKES ANY SENSE?!? #doublefacepalm http://twitpic.com/2bix2t #
  • Hah! Hilarious! 🙂 RT allisonhornery Allison Hornery: @piawaugh I tried to retweet an email yesterday! #
  • It's been a good, productive, 12 hour day. Time to go home, rest up, do some music foo and sleep. Hugs to all! #
  • You know you're using Twitter too much when you go to tweet in your email client. #
  • .@angrygoat I do it manually. It's about 2:1 time to transcribe video but I haven't seen predictably reliable software for Aussie accent #
  • Trying to ensure we have captions for all videos is hard work (esp for rapid publishing) but totally worth it for search & accessibility! 🙂 #
  • Interesting piece by @BernardKeane, worth reading "Keane: media bias v political substance in the budget" http://goo.gl/uLS7g via @jdub #
  • And people wonder why techies are able to turn into BOFHs. It's hard to not get a little cynical 🙂 @manaz_d @paulwallbank @bjjazzyjeff #
  • .@stilgherrian And we love you for it 🙂 /cc @AUSFestivus #
  • .@vealmince Are you trolling? Sometimes physics gets in way 😛 Perhaps not zero sum, we need more tech flexibility *&* more user awareness #
  • Awesome! 🙂 RT @johndalton: I've stopped giving "nice" explanations – if people argue, I launch into a detailed description of Base64. #
  • Simply too cold to do my usual courtyard walks today. No sunlight for me :/ #
  • OH: "Why can't we just increase mail limits so we can receive 50MB files?" Now explaining that's not how email was ever supposed to work >:/ #
  • Bwah ha ha! RT @NicholasGruen: @piawaugh Me, Tom Baker or Harpo Marx ? http://bit.ly/mkB4bG #
  • Am preparing a tech update video with @katelundy and am discovering loads of cool things gov is doing with & for tech! I love my job 😀 #
  • RT KateLundy New post: The 2011 Canberra Motorcycle Blanket Run http://bit.ly/k5wrKG #blanketrun #motorbikes #canberra #

  • RT to #gov2au & #opendata @tom_worthington Aus Info Commissioner "Principles on Open PSI" Canberra, 25 May http://bit.ly/info_principles #
  • .@MoreThanDanny Interesting, I don't think it does. You may like my talk on applying martial arts to Real Life (TM) 😉 http://bit.ly/iG8Hve #
  • .@trib It's a reminder there are many ppl passionate about politics not democracy, we need to make an important shift in that balance :/ #
  • .@Jim_Croft Heh, you are more a jester, throwing informed informative potshots from sideline to get ppl to think. Rather diff from troll #
  • .@adm_76 Buggrit buggrem I say! Millenium hand & shrimp! (I do envisage aus pol as deliquents from Discworld, but lower stnds) /cc @purserj #
  • .@adm_76 @purserj Sorry! #
  • ARGH I MUST NOT FEED TROLLS! It is really hard sometimes to just accept that someone is uninterested in logic, facts or actual discussion :/ #
  • It's a little frustrating that the Zoom Q3HD comes with such abysmal software. It's great hardware! Back to Premier Pro I guess :/ #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Ah! <pennydrop> You are a bot, otherwise why would you say "it", thanks for demonstrating my point again 🙂 /cc @grmsn #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Huh? When did I send you a message off list? I tend to say what I think publicly so stop trolling 🙂 /cc @grmsn #
  • .@BabsNation Think I might thanks 🙂 I do live in hope y'all might take a critical thinking course, but have fun in the meantime 😉 #auspol #
  • .@grmsn Yeah, I think I will. But, but, someone is wrong on the internet! http://xkcd.com/386/ 😉 #
  • .@dotnetnoobie You know *nothing* about me, but throw stones if I don't flat out agree with hyped up FUD. Again, my point validated, thx 😛 #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Heh, you demonstrate my point. If I disagree then I obviously *must* vote the other way from you. World =/ black or white 😛 #
  • Was just reminded why I tend to avoid #auspol hashtag. So much trolling, FUD & ridiculous hyperbole by ppl utterly uninterested in facts :/ #
  • .@BabsNation Hardly, but you are a troll of epic proportions so well done in exceeding my already very low expectations of #auspol 🙂 #
  • .@BabsNation It is hilarious because it points out how the issue has been hijacked by morons who know nothing about it, e tu? 😛 #auspol #
  • So very AWESOME! Seriously! "I'm A Climate Scientist" by @hungry_beast http://bit.ly/kApsps Could all of #auspol pretty please watch? #
  • I need to watch more @hungry_beast 🙂 Nice to see these issues hitting mainstream. "Is public the new private" http://bit.ly/lIgCPI #
  • Jesters: informing through humour RT @TheOnion – Report: Global Warming Issue From 2 Or 3 Years Ago May Still Be Problem http://t.co/1DoRUD0 #
  • Hah, I can totally see that! RT @NicholasGruen People used to think I was Dr Who – when my hair was longer and Tom Baker was in the role! #
  • Looks ridiculous and hilarious at the same time! http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/cowboysandaliens/ #badmoviestowatchsoon #
  • This looks AWESOME http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/truelegend/ #moviestowatchsoon #
