20:40 I gather, reading back over Twitter, that Mike Willesee's comeback was not worth the effort? #sundaynight #auspol #
16:44 "spare me the line that Stevie Wonder and Elvis Costello are serious artists..." RT @bobjcarr: Foxtel Goes For Quality http://t.co/0Z9uf9H1 #
12:44 And why would Rupert Murdoch ever "ask" a Prime Minister for anything? Surely he was the one giving out the instructions... #
12:36 @AusWomensGame could it be that the #wleague grand final was more than 7 days ago and therefore out of their weekly news cycle? #offsiders #
10:12 Cough. RT @rupertmurdoch Only ever met PMs when asked, believe it or not. And NEVER asked for anything. That is, I never asked for anything! #
07:20 Russia and China did what?? #unsc #syria #

21:00 Oh come on Joey why not interview JT *while* he's kicking for goal, not before it! #nrlallstars #
20:51 Sorry #nrl but I think we can give the powerplay a miss. #
20:25 Biff? There's not supposed to be biff in this game. #nrlallstars #
20:04 #nrl There should be more bilingual performances of Advance Australia Fair. And I know there are many indigenous languages in Australia. #

14:18 #groundhogday Raw Video: Punxsutawney Phil Sees Shadow: http://t.co/ouVTe6X2 via @youtube #
13:47 must say it's amusing to see how we Aussies have taken Groundhog Day out of context thanks to the Bill Murray movie #

cricket.rickeyre.com reborn again

I've relaunched my central cricket webspace, cricket.rickeyre.com on Posterous.

After thinking about retiring it completely, I've decided to give it a reboot after successfully spinning off my cricket-only Twitter account @rickeyrecricket in December and raising my profile a little, including the start of a monthly column for iSportconnect.

21:42 "The people smuggler who became a shonky plumber" RT @ChrisBath7 Looking forward to mike willesees first report this weekend @sundaynighton7 #
20:44 I have decided. I am having Tumblr *and* Posterous. One each as a companion for each of my Twitter accounts :) #
17:36 Before professional boxing became a joke, there were legends like trainer Angelo Dundee, who has died aged 90 - http://t.co/MYK5MMOR #
17:23 One last call for opinions: #tumblr or #posterous? #
17:11 It's always fun opening the last lot of Christmas presents when they arrive on February 2. #

15:32 Go Alan Joyce! RT @Simon_Cullen: Qantas has announced carbon tax surcharge to apply from July 1. Starting from $1.82 per flight #
15:30 Horrible news from Papua New Guinea - http://t.co/yicodXEs #png #
11:15 I'd have thought @insightSBS could do better than: "Today we ask - who do you think Australia's prime minister will be in June this year?" #
11:12 @cityofsydney let's hope this comes to fruition :) #
07:40 Ok I think @CityRail_Info can safely be unfollowed as it is clearly not an official account. #nswgovt #heygladys #
07:35 And you worry about cane toads. RT @newscientist: Ecologist says: I think we should let elephants loose in Australia http://t.co/0Iz24ouy #
07:06 In today's SMH Roy Masters absurdly overplays the significance of yesterday's Federal Court case won by Optus http://t.co/Qgq4qzgx #nrl #afl #
07:01 All this outrage over the Optus court verdict ignores the fact that TV Now is actually a shoddy product. I stopped using it a while back. #
06:08 Umm... No. RT @guardianeco: Should Australia introduce elephants and rhinos into the outback? http://t.co/AW5h91Gm #

23:05 Apparently my Facebook Timeline goes live on February 8, which gives me a week to empty it out. #
22:35 Three consecutive names on my trending list right now: Mark Nicholas, Clive Palmer, Gina Rinehart. #
19:21 So no sooner do I follow @CityRail_Info than @FailCorp follows me in return #

17:18 Ok tweeps, my big question: #tumblr or #posterous? I'm leaning towards Posterous... am I wrong? #

08:20 Thank you. Is this a rebranding of the AFI? RT @AFIeditor: Australian Academy of Cinema & Television Arts #AACTA #
08:00 Time to start auditing all the Google accounts I manage. Could take me all month. #
07:56 @mrtiedt Yes but what is #AACTA and why have I seen it spelt both ACCTA and AATCTA in the media this morning? #
07:44 So what is the #AACTA? Why have I never heard of it before? Will it be around this time next year? #
07:27 Fair And Balanced television? RT @sunriseon7: Now: @TonyAbbottMHR on Craig Thomson inquiry delays. #Sun7 #
06:52 Oh FFS. RT @sunriseon7: The Health Services Union boss suspects the inquiry into Craig Thomson MP is being stalled. We'll ask @TonyAbbottMHR #

23:09 An April 2006 blog post I'd totally forgotten about "Delay Lunch Day 1: Police brutality, press corps sitting on pitch" http://t.co/gFxcmVmk #
23:01 Reading back over my blog from 2006 reminds me what a negative impact Twitter has had on my blogging :( #
22:03 I wonder how easy an upgrade from @Wordpress 1.5 to 3.3.1 would be. #
21:37 Ever painstakingly restored a five year-old Wordpress installation and then decided it wasn't worth the effort? No I didn't think so. #
20:56 So this Cane Toads doco on #abc1 is not the original but a new film in the style of the original? I'm so confused! #
19:35 Peter Reith critiquing Tony Abbott. Why am I watching #abc730? #
18:56 Not long to go! RT @WWF_Australia: We're officially launching Earth Hour 2012 tonight, with just 60 days to go until #earthhour #

14:08 Estimates?? RT @latikambourke: Oppn warning theyll pursue the 'breach of PM's security' on Aust Day at Senate Estimates when Parlt resumes. #
07:08 Hmm. Getting happy birthday emails from sites I'd long forgotten I'd signed with. Appreciate the gesture, but some unsubscribing to do! #
06:53 Isn't it just a little crazy that the #ausopen final ended at a time of night when we'd expect a Wimbledon or French Open final to finish? #
04:34 Oh so that's what happened after I went to bed at 11pm. #ausopen #

20:46 Shock new revelation: Julia Gillard was dragged ten metres further than previously thought. #auspol #7news #ffs #

19:44 @cityofsydney Instagram website says their are no current plans for an android version :( #
19:35 I'm glad I missed Young Talent Time for this last hour of no tennis. Actually, I'm just glad I missed Young Talent Time. #
19:28 Mike Willesee? On Channel 7? In the 21st century? Oh gawd. #
19:24 Much as I love Rod Laver, this pseudo-Olympic charade is sadly missing the torch. Clumsy misuse of some legendary sportsmen. #ausopen #
19:17 Having said all that, there is something a bit awesome about this relay of the past champions (albeit Aussies only) #ausopen #
19:15 Or maybe John Batman founding Melbourne on a pushbike a la the Sydney 2000 opening. #ausopen #
19:14 I'm hoping this is leading to a climax like the "Ron Barassi walking on water" moment at the Melbourne 2006 CWG opening. #ausopen #
19:12 7pm of course being broad daylight in late-January Melbourne. #ausopen #
19:10 Say what? They closed the roof at Rod Laver Arena just to simulate night time at 7pm? #ausopen #
19:06 Instagram iPhone only aargh #fail RT @cityofsydney: Tweeps, pretty pls: tag your CNY instagrams with #CNYSYD #
18:09 I am currently being invited to share a Coke with Julia. That is all. #
