Twenty Six Minutes Of Fame

Following my sterling performance on FOX News yesterday I took a call this morning from a CNN correspondent in London who wanted to know if I would like to comment on the MyDoom virus crisis that’s been hitting corporate inboxes over the last couple of days. Two hours later and I’m in an studio in north London broadcasting to the US for a good 3 minutes of interview. I said that I thought the virus writers were motivated by juvenile competitiveness rather than being part of some global conspiracy. The pushed me hard on a couple of points but I think I managed to come accross as pretty well informed. You could get to like this fame thing. Next trick, to earn some ££££’s from it.

Gary, here’s two points for image consistency and a hearty congratulations for blogging your way into mainstream media.

Funny how it’s costing me 10s of 1000s of dollars at a university to do the same thing…

Gary Congratulations, but what will it do for the Bank Manager’s vocality? will it eventually get a contract, that should mean an income!
So what made you get here, I smell another post?

Than,

you’ve rumbled me. Darn it. The Fox image uses the same face shot by the way. From the neck down it’s some reporter dude’s body.

Like all the best serial killers, I secretly wanted to get caught out and like all the best serial killers, I left not so subtle clues that would eventually lead to my capture.

Well Goddam! I fell for it Gary and even linked to it. Well done lad!

Yay Gary!! Wish I’d caught the segment, wish we were both at ETCON (and not just blogging the blogging…)
