Hello and welcome

I've got my dongle working! Woohoo!

Today is a briefing day organised by the G20 Voice peeps.

Am networking like a wild thing. Oh look, there's Michelle O. 'Scuse me.

I love you all but you hereby have my permission to go and have lunch or something, cos you're about 5 mins behind me and believe me, it's still a bit dull. Hopefully we will pick up after a few carbs.

Agree, this an audience talking to itself. Perhaps we could help PW develop a question for the session after the lunchbreak that stops the navel gazing. Something like:

'What are the key ways we can work together to influence politicians'

'What five problems should we all try to enthuse our readership about'

Ah, this guy might be getting closer to the point, I see...

Oh it's the eco-tricity man again.

Just saying that he wanted to encourage the African bloggers, a few seconds after he said that many of them don't have access to the internet.

Which one would think was quite important to a blogger.

Perspective people. Oi vay.

right [dusts hand]

have just made aubergine parmigiana and chili con carne and listened to you and yours.

What have I missed?

gizmo · 01/04/2009 12:56

Or 'tell me one thing about your specialisation that I don't know?'

Or:

'what colour underwear do you think Barack Obama wears?'

Purple jumper man is a bit more sensible.

blokeWithHeadphonesAndLaptop · 01/04/2009 12:56

See the bloke at the back? That's me that is. We're monitoring you lot.

theyoungvisiter · 01/04/2009 12:57

SDR - Sun-Dried Raisins. I will be happy to explain the process to anyone mystified.

What are you looking for, blokey? Suitably fluffly mumsy contributions?

'My baby just did a really smelly poo'. That do?

gizmo · 01/04/2009 12:59

See what you mean about purple jumper man, PW. Has a basic understanding of relevancy and relative importance of tools and work.

Yes got that tweet pol

when you tweet as it happens put 'live from G20'

Also double your tweet and put it on your own twitter account

blokeWithHeadphonesAndLaptop · 01/04/2009 12:59

I'm assessing the adequacy of your response to our blogging initiative. You have failed. It is clear that you don't really understand SDRs.

ingles2 · 01/04/2009 12:59

got to go and do some work. see you later.

gizmo · 01/04/2009 13:01

I didn't realise there was going to be a test

And no, I'm not going to suggest any questions to the chair, I'm going to go for a run and attempt to do the work against that deadline that is whistling by.

Well, cobbling bobblers to that, I am physically dimishing with each second more I listen.

Soz PW, I shall be back later after I've increased my carbon footprint by making toast while wondering if it would be a good idea to offer a free blog to each person in a village that doesn't yet have access to clean water...

gizmo · 01/04/2009 13:02

But she has some brass neck, which I approve of. Stood up and took the meeting by the scruff of the neck, when it was in danger of disappearing up its own backside...
