To correct mistakes use correction tape from a newsagency. Add a stylus to pat down any tape that isn't smooth. Easy and quick and no mess. Don't use whiteout (wet white marks everywhere) or an eraser (shavings!)

At #ACIS2024 last week I was asked if I had any photos of a former colleague for his in memoriam presentation. I have... no photos :(. This short typecasting piece was written with one draft on my typewriter and 'pinned' to the office door for our 2024 #uq graduates. #AcademicSky #Typewriting

So this is a picture of myself and my memento gift as Organising Chair of #ACIS2024 at University of Canberra.

This is the 35th Australasian Information Systems Conference. A great conference. Volunteers are important for conferences to run. #academicsky

I had a film crew in my office filming a promotional video for my university today. Makeup and everything. An hour and 45 minutes to prepare the room, 10 minutes to film, and about 15 minutes to take it all down again for around a total of 30 seconds of usable footage.

Hmmm.

My current office and Zoom background... So many typewriters...

So I don't want to alarm anyone but here in #Brisbane one of our #uq cafes is selling summer coffee drinks, unironically, on the day before Anzac Day. Halfway through autumn...

Cycling around #Brisbane with the old Repco Superlite - been a while since I took it for a spin. Coffee was great today at #Baladi.

Unfortunately it is getting harder and harder to go places in Brisbane on my recent birthday so that I don't feel old... running out of options these days... #brisbane #hermes3000 #typewriters

I just had a paper published with my co-authors in ISACA magazine. They must have decided everyone's Italian since the first author is Italian. I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to turn David Stockdale into Stockdalei :). Call me Miklos Axelseni from now on - much more exotic.

Preparing my 10th year (!) of teaching this intensive UQ MBA Class next week! At orientation @sammacaulay.bsky.social described me as a 'stalwart' of the program - am I that crusty-looking?

Here's the selfie I just shared with the class ;) - a fine line between building rapport and self-mockery...

At UQ BELfest, greeting all the new students...

It's an early start to the day here in sunny Brisbane. Can't believe I snagged the second last carpark at the train station - at 6:38am.

Off for a full day of training in one of the top 4 busiest weeks of the year. Hmmmm.

Tide is in here in Brisbane..
