  • 07:27 @julie_posetti re @abcthedrum comments, that's due to moderation resources. Twitter link - because I only set up @abcthedrum yesterday am #
  • 07:53 @MediaActive Hi Peter, That's a technical issue we're trying to resolve. #
  • 08:09 @julie_posetti I agree. We're also looking at less labour-intensive mod strategies eg karma/peer moderation. #
  • 09:03 @MediaActive What do you mean by 'tweeted as news'? Do you mean from @abcnews? #
  • 09:30 @MediaActive We tweet a range of content from @abcnews. #
  • 09:37 @MediaActive Well, @abcnews has tweeted analysis pieces before. We've been doing analysis for months. #
  • 09:39 @MediaActive There aren't opinion pieces in the Just In queue. They're analysis pieces. #
  • 09:50 @MediaActive It sure is. And the decisions will be made at pay levels far higher than mine! #
  • 09:55 @MediaActive I can't speak for the ABC as a whole. I am but one tiny c og. #
  • 09:57 @MediaActive No worries. #
  • 10:59 @kristoforlawson Follow up with a phone call. #
  • 11:09 @kristoforlawson stick with it. Often it can be a case of having your CV in the right place at the right time. #
  • 12:38 @Krasnostein i did the same with a guy i work with. 8 texts in one day. i now have AAA in my address book. #

Fantastic day at Brisbane Zombie Walk



It was kind of weird, covering the Brisbane Zombie Walk yesterday.

I keep thinking of weddings. First stop for Giulio Saggin (ABC News Online snapper - see one of this great photos above) and myself was at the home of organisers Cara Westworth and Anthony Radaza.

People were rushing around all over the place getting ready. Peter Tame from MarzFX was creating gruesome wounds with latex and make-up. Cara's mum was over at the stove, whipping up some more fake blood.

It had that 'getting ready for a wedding' vibe.

Then, when it was all over, there was a strange sense of loss. And extreme exhaustion!

I emailed Anthony to thank him for his help and he msged back, thanking me for 'sharing their special day'.

Again - weddings!

Well, there were certainly enough zombie brides there!

You can check out some stills and footage from the walk, or upload your own, at the Pool. Also, heaps of people are posting stuff to the BZW Facebook page.

I also wrote a short story for ABC News Online, which you can read here. (Our special presentation will be up in about a month).

Thanks again to everyone who helped me out.
