Sat plan: Slow start, because Saturday; a few household chores; podcast post-production, so you can listen to the lovely @markhumphries with your ears tonight; quiet evening.
The podcast editing is going quite well, albeit slowly because I’m faffing around and chasing birds out of the house. Meanwhile, @markhumphries, here is that radio documentary we discussed.

“Searching for Trough Man” (2017) abc.net.au/radionational/…
@markhumphries And to everyone else, in case I don’t finish in time, please read the attached tweet and do the needful.
@markhumphries Yeah I won’t quite finish uploading this by 7.30pm so you should definitely watch “Celebrity Letters & Numbers” first.
Editing done. And now for the mix-down, which is semi-automated.
Uploading.
Right “Celebrity Letters & Numbers” is over now and the podcast is ready for you to listen so you can do that.

It's a moist and potentially noisy day for weather in the Blue Mountains. Image
COME SOUTH YOU LAZY STORMS!

There is a thunderstorm coming in from the west right now but as usual it's passing south of here. Image

Last night I dreamed that I was untangling the telephone cables in @GreenJ’s radio studio, which was equipped with an ancient Telecom Commander system like this one from Museums Victoria.
While doing so, someone made a call on speakerphone to a number in Port Hughes in South Australia, where two young children answered the phone. We didn’t talk to them, but they didn’t hang up, so we just had them there on speaker in the background for ages.
Mr Green didn’t actually feature in the dream in terms of plot, but somehow we just knew they were his studio phones. A technician and I discussed how modern radio studios were all digital and had much better phones.

Starting momentarily is a separate event, a Digital Rights Watch and Twitter panel, “Online Anonymity and Pseudonymity: Why it Matters”. This is for us alleged journalists so I may well be reporting on this. I will tweet little bits on this thread. Image
It’s bouncing off this paper, “PROTECTING THE
OPEN INTERNET: Regulatory principles for policy makers” cdn.cms-twdigitalassets.com/content/dam/ab… (PDF)
Kara Hinesley is introducing this by saying, as I suspected, that this session was prompted by recent news in Australia about the government’s plan to ID social media users. Image

Lol the government’s @PositiveEnAus PR account reckons it can have its own “commenting rules” on Twitter. They seem to be under the impression that *they* get to choose what I say on my own Twitter feed. Daft gronks. positiveenergy.gov.au/terms-use ImageImage
@PositiveEnAus It feels like this was insisted upon by someone in a consultancy who half-read a news story about the Voller decision. hcourt.gov.au/cases/case_s23… IANAL but nevertheless I am laughing. You don’t and can’t moderate people’s replies on Twitter.
@PositiveEnAus Better not use the webby bit of the World Wide Web, namely the hyperlinks. Lol. Maybe we should use electronic mail.

Gawd, such confidence in the energy policy that it needs all these rules to protect it from derision. Image

I’m a day late to this it seems, but it’s certainly a significant day.
Yep. This is what your iPhone looked like in 1971. ImageImage
Goddammit and I just sourced the photos. Stand by for a PDP-7. (I did thing PDP-8 felt wrong but I am getting old.)

Someone has placed a new friend directly in my sight line this morning. Image
Also when I went outside to take that photograph I was followed around by two magpies who were frustrated that I wasn’t immediately feeding them.
None of the birds were interested in my Halloween friend today. We’re wondering if the bush rats might come along during the night and eat its face.
