I am not moving Tript‘s link out of the Neurobloggers’ section in silent protest against his sad decision to give up the practice.
And I have added two, both from California: Dev of Neurowiki fame, and hitshermark, who is, weirdly, not actually an operative yet as far as I know.
Things Ben bought whilst visiting Melbourne:
My sister is coming home tomorrow, and I shall be returning to my cosy St Kilda cupboard.
It’s sad. But all good things must come to an end, I guess.
In other me-related news, Jojo thinks I’m great.

Prompted by Reanimator, American Guy has proposed a ‘Neurocouncil’ meet in the Melbourne CBD to discuss recent upheavals.
He suggested this Wednesday, but I think we need at least another week to get more interest up.
Neuroboard thread here.
I hosted a combined dinner party/book burning on Thursday night. I went out to the movies on Friday night. I spent all day at work fighting vigorously with baby sis via SMS and I’ve just been out trawling Brunswick St and drowning my sorrows with my cousin. Tomorrow night I’m doing things as yet unknown with Ben the punk rock librarian, who is down for a visit.
Then on Wednesday, there’s looking to be The Neurocouncil.
I feel like Tript. The local chapter of the Recluse Society (oxymoron?) is going to be calling for my resignation at this rate.
It’s good!
Exhausting, though.
PS I am becoming addicted to the Missy Higgins album. Is that wrong?

Neurocam.com is still ‘down’.
UPDATE: This bodes ill.

I’m so proud.
I would normally keep such a thing out of the public sphere, but she posted mine.
But I had no one to share them with.
So sad. I feel so sorry for myself right now. You should too.
I am eating them alone, watching clips of that entertaining Jon Stewart, and crying.
Didn’t see this coming.

Subject: Farewell
Date: 12 July 2005 12:48:02 PMAttention all staff and operatives.
Earlier today, notice was sent to the Board of Directors for Neurocam International of my decision to temporarily vacate the office of Chief Executive Officer for Neurocam International due to what I feel to be a potential conflict of interest. The Board has accepted my request for temporary leave and will announce an acting CEO as soon as a suitable replacement is found. My leave will be effective immediately (Tuesday, July 12, 2005).
Furthermore, Neurocam International has terminated the commission of Ms. Madeline Khan, Assistant to the CEO, effective immediately. I hereby wish Ms. Khan all the best with her future endeavors.
No further correspondence will be entered into regarding these matters.
Ms. Khan’s e-mail address will be inactivated immediately. My e-mail account shall remain active for fourteen days and all correspondence from it will be forwarded directly to the Head of Operations, Mr. Charles Hastings until such time as my successor is announced.
Regards,
Bridget Fischer
CEO
Neurocam International
Anyone know what’s going on?

Someone asked me what my ambitions were the other day. I can’t remember what I told them, but I should have said:
