I'm thinking I don't hit inbox zero very often – really should take more notice of the stuff that's still there – some of it needs action #

Tried to find a web designer – apparently nobody wants to do a simple Wordpress theme – the want to "manage our web presence" instead #

Chortle! RT @badz85: How many SEO experts does it take to change a light bulb, lightbulb, light, bulb, lamp, lighting, switch? #
Nice to see Julia Gillard wearing Kevin Rudd's balls on her necklace #730report #
Do I choose fast (but firewalled) Internet, slow (but free-for-all) Internet, or irrelevant candidate in my electorate? #ausvotes #
Meanwhile, I'll just go back to the Internet-related stuff for the upcoming business name change (move to http://www.leclre.com.au and @leclre) #

Today I get to tell a company that I won't drive 400km to fix a server for the $320 they want to pay me for the job – split in the making #
Are you a web developer who understands wordpress themes? I have paid work for you. #
Is it just me or does Gillard sound like she's saying Mr Rabbit instead of Mr Abbot? #
The $1k order with my supplier just arrived – multiplied by FOUR!?! Yay… #

It's a computer shop! What about that makes you think I can help you set up the TV/DVD in your caravan?!?! #
For that matter, why would you think I can help you figure out how to use your new phone? #
Hawking my wares @ #itexpo in #longreach #
Yes, I meant wares not warez http://yfrog.com/mwy5sqj #
So far just convincing exhibitors they should switching to Apple #
Non customer wants me to refund a $1k scanner NOT sold by us because we do wty for that brand!?!? #

It's pouring rain – why are all the ppl w/- umbrellas hogging the sheltered walkways #
2 days "dark" in nda'd meetings – vendors, suppliers and dinners oh my #
Thankful for monorail – but not so much for the crowdedness #
Someone Google Mapped LEC store locations – not a bad collection of "dots on a map" http://is.gd/dNPd8 #
Curse you early morning flight! #
There's a flight to Brisneyland in my (very near) future #
Thanking the seat assignment gods for the empty seat beside me #

Apparently, there's an iPad somewhere in Melbourne with my name on it… #
Staving off fresh OS install failed – say goodbye to plans for the day – high potential for tweet'age as I watch software install though #
Clever OS X – one install running, start next install and it's "waiting for other install to complete" #
Sunset in Longreach, outback Qld http://yfrog.com/0plgnyj #
Struggling to avoid stereotypes – there were kangaroos on the main street in Longreach (outback QLD) this morning – too dark for photos #
New toy! Thanks @mactalk http://yfrog.com/14z40aj #
Loading iPad content for trip to Sydney – any 'must have' suggestions? #
9:20 flight didn't seem early until I realise that, as usual, I'm totally disorganised – 4 hrs sleep, and rushing around like a mad thing #
Chaos failed, made it to Brisvegas in (mostly)one piece – 40mins till Sydney flight boards #
Oh yeah, iPad doing sterling work – vids, music and books all a good option #
Made it to Sydney, bloody taxi driver more interested in chat w/- other driver than fare to city #
Redfern: saw a guy walking through a garden bed with (I think) a 27" iMac under one arm #
In my small sampling JB has more iPad bits than Apple or DickSmith in Sydney CBD #
Nice one Dick Smith http://yfrog.com/6wid4yj #
On the Manly ferry (but only just) meeting Graham for linch #

Just got asked how you corrupt Windows, suggested that you take it to a girlie bar and get it drunk – not that I would ever do such a thing #
My new article on MacTalk – http://bit.ly/8ZTNWL #
I think I've just been karma'd all over – write about failed HDD, repair HDD on iMac, now my MBP seems to have faulty HDD! (Backups OK!) #
The good: Backups are 100% OK; the bad: dealing with 150GB .dmg files is s-l-o-w – diag process dragging… #
Looks like it might not be a faulty HDD after all, unfortunately that means failed OS and a re-install #
Excellent! Install OS 'over the top' has seen all problems just go away – back up and running… #

If you’re wondering, I haven’t stopped writing stuff online. It’s just that most of it is now being contributed elsewhere.

Mostly, now, I’m writing over at MacTalk. Have a look at my work there.
