Flight booked to US for tomorrow. I’ll get there about 12 hours before the viewing and funeral.
Very happy news – my sister @carbolicious managed to make flights align so I get to fly cross-country with cutest baby in world on my lap.
@randomknits I knew you’d like those!
In the cab on the way to the airport. I talked to Grandma this morning. No matter the hassle or expense, it’s good that I’m going.
@pcosta5 @anzBrightcove Easy mistake to make, sad to say. Sydney winter is a far cry from Boston’s!
Average adult attention span now just 7 seconds. Goldfish’s is 9 seconds. Well aware of irony as I tweet this during #PLAYSYD.
@pyko Down from 12 ten years ago. Our brains are broken.
Kicking off the user experience track at #PLAYSYD. Very excited for @AndrewMamo to talk about @9jumpin! http://t.co/T8aRGCJjwU
1 in 4 online Australians are watching catch-up TV, but still consuming 3 hrs of broadcast a day. #PLAYSYD
Which devices will matter in the future? Using Olympics timeline to show progression of tech. iPads didn’t even exist at Beijing. #PLAYSYD
Traditional TV is very hard to beat in terms of the “lean back” experience. #PLAYSYD
Tech drives changes & new patterns of user behaviour. DVDs led to binge watching. YouTube changing celebrity culture. @AndrewMamo #PLAYSYD
Some attendees are concerned with how media companies will anonymise and protect user data. Good question. #PLAYSYD

Switching over to the technical track at #PLAYSYD. I’m caffeinated and ready to learn about transcoding!
@codepo8 Was talking to Craig Penfold and some of the Yahoos today. Reminisced about your visit many years ago!
Whoa. YouTube transcodes to ~150 different renditions?! I did not know that. #PLAYSYD
Horizontal scaling is vital for transcoding videos. “Essentially the poster child for using cloud services like EC2.” #PLAYSYD
Using clips from Silicon Valley to illustrate different codecs. Heh. #PLAYSYD
@damana Hey – I think I just missed you!
@damana Haha, James is telling me about it right now. 🙂
Crappy afternoon, but the arrival of my replacement @TheFryeCompany boots cheered me right up! #lovethem #kickass http://t.co/lqvuD49G8N
Shit. Shit. One grandad died last night; another had a heart attack and is now failing. Might have to fly to US. Getting drunk.
Dad says not to come. Grandma knows how difficult it is. Really hard not to reply with cuss words.
@eobeara I find that unbelievable. You are by far the healthiest Irish person I’ve ever met!
Mr Snook is cheering me with a spirited improv based on a slip of the tongue: Bruce Bolton, flayer of men and warden of the f**king North!
.@Buddytruk But I used a local car share app on my phone to book a van. And are you in Australia? Or just spamming the world? #fail
@Buddytruk Easy peasy. @GOGET is the best. And they’ve got partnerships so they ARE international!
The new Mi9 offices are really starting to feel like home! #9jumpin @ Mi9 http://t.co/yukKknyHZ6
@drkknits NO SPOILERS. IT’S STILL LUNCHTIME HERE.
@drwitty_knitter I didn’t know they were projecting on the uni! Wow – must get up there.
Imagine if Count Rugen smushed Inigo’s head until it exploded. “Jesus, Grandpa, why did you tell me this story!?”
@gilmae That would be telling.

New BC player features look very exciting. Thumbnail scrubbing, easier customisation, social sharing, performance enhancements… #PLAYSYD
@OzGamer Apparently @venks79 is heading here too…
Whoops. @anzBrightcove – forgot to adjust slide deck seasons for Southern Hemisphere! #PLAYSYD
Picking up a couch. (@ Bondi) http://t.co/8h2cUgRuB1
Just got SMS from @GOGET that someone has booked can after us so we can’t extend. Is this new? It’s GREAT! Terrific idea & service, GoGet!

@gilmae On paper, yes. But this time of year, NRL pays the bills. 🙂
@knitterjp Blonde curls slay me. 🙂
@lucykbain @sydjs I’ll send it around to my team and see if anybody’s interested!
@knitterjp Just got it. Thanks!
@romainprieto Wow, impressive! I’ve been playing around with Acorn but not anything as intensive as that.
@drwitty_knitter @redambition @innerwestderek @stufromoz @19bk69 We do it, but there’s a lot of hassle and calculation.

@drwitty_knitter We rent out both our car spaces at our place.
@drwitty_knitter Yeah. In terms of percentage of our square meterage, it makes up a decent part. Benefit makes up for hassle of reporting!
@drwitty_knitter But I fully expect that little loophole to get closed one of these days…
