@stevage1 Great talk Steve 🙂 Open Data on Radio Melbourne is a good step forward! Takes me back a few years working with @VicRoads data, Data Vic and the Open Knowledge team. Best wishes for Trainle and successors

@stevage1 Not to date, but if it does happen (as in the fantasy) I now know how to process it - I will let you know 🙂

@greg_ashman Internet email abt 1992, working for large IT org; tho not many to email. Then Gopher via early Win + Trumpet Winsock TCP/IP in late 1994. Then along came Mosaic, which changed the world. Winsock was from a small Tas dev - we built good SW then🤓

@greg_ashman Thanks; I had better read it fully!

@greg_ashman Well understood in management theory for the last century. I was politely told that I was studying education theory and that had no alignment with management theory. I have enjoyed your comments on current teacher education🙂 Congratulations on school VCE results 2/2

@greg_ashman Thanks Greg - do any of these studies factor in the Hawthorne Effect? I undertook secondary mathematics teacher training as a (very mature) career changer in Melb, 2016. I questioned some of the pseudo evidentiary claptrap, and several times referenced the Hawthorne Effect. 1/2

@stevage1 Tough choice - just remember it’s a bus from Yass 😀

@east_asia_forum @yun_aus Well argued. Have lived and travelled extensively in China (although Mandarin still defeats me). Many times a positive perspective on the people or even (God forbid) the government gets me slapped with being a ‘CCP apologist’. Pathetic; it doesn’t help us.

Thank you @Qantas for sorting out my little booking problem. I commend your Customer Service staff member on the Twitter DM line, NA, for their help and persistance in getting this sorted. One for their file!

[Adrian Porteous @adrianporteous]

Hey @Qantas - I need help with a flight booking on Monday - your web help form is experiencing a 'problem' and the agent chat pop up function isn't functioning. Please will you DM me an email address to get it sorted. I am out of Australia. Thanks 🙂

@ACSnewsfeed Excellent article on the ACS ‘turnaround’. Been a member for > 40 yrs and seen both the best and the worst of the Society. I have new confidence in the directions being set by @Veinesque, Nick Tate, Roger Clarke and Rod Dilnutt, among others.

@kclepley Thank you 🙏 It’s pretty impressive on the ground as well 🙂 scenes along the Lunmin Highway from Luntai to Mingeng on a road trip back in 2012
