@codepo8 Hey… Maybe you could try this out for me? http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/06/heres-a-way-to-get-a-google-invite-now/ ๐Ÿ™‚


RT @LLBrandenburg: An Agile Functional Specification http://goo.gl/fb/wc7yU #baot // Excellent. Just what @venks79 & I have been discussing!


Thank you @henrytapia for my Google+ invite! ๐Ÿ™‚


All the @mobileembrace geeks are thanking @henrytapia for hooking us up with Google+. Amirite, @kunaal84 @lemon_lime @rajsingh2505? ๐Ÿ™‚


@thisismywww I can send to Daniel, @henrytapia. No worries.


I am totes claiming credit for spreading Google+ to the Sydney knitters via @thisismywww… ๐Ÿ˜›


@witty_knitter It’s their new anti-Facebook Facebook. Just trying it out.


@witty_knitter It’s invite only, but it appears that the # of invitations is not restricted. You have a google account?


@witty_knitter Well, send it to me and I’ll invite you! ๐Ÿ™‚


@Epaulette I need your Gmail address. ๐Ÿ™‚


Looking forward to tonight’s Geek Girl Dinner at Google! Who else is going? #ggdsyd


@Epaulette Done!


Trying somewhere new! (@ Cafe Olivetti) http://4sq.com/kXLuT6


Can anyone still send Google+ invites? My link to it has disappeared. Wondering if I hit some sort of cap…


If you’ve got Google+ open with the invite link showing, DON’T REFRESH YOUR BROWSER. It’ll go away!


RT @knitabulous: thank you to kumaal and @gilmae for my google+ invite. // Heh. @kunaal84


RT @GGDSydney: We know that there wasn’t enough room 4 everyone so we have live streaming for Google GGD tonight @ 6pm EST http://bit.l …


@thisismywww I don’t think it works. I tried your method for @Kat13v; it told me email invites were disabled.


@bellsknits I believe you’ll find it’s from Snoop Dogg, circa like 10+ years ago. So not hipster.


RT @venks79: My team members’ productivity just halved with the release of google+. Grrr. Must mention in performance review.


RT @Offbeatceremony: 87 years married, their marriage secrets are: remembering that everyone who plants a seed and harvests the crop… …


Heading off to @GGDSydney! See you all at Google where we can gossip about Google+ while we drink their booze. #GGDSydney


Awesome swag bag with SWEET Geek Girl Google coffee mug! Unexpected. Thanks, sponsors! #GGDSydney http://twitpic.com/5iyg5m


Our tower was doomed to lose the #GGDSydney contest: we were the Internet Explorer team! http://twitpic.com/5iytgn http://twitpic.com/5iyth3


Yes, there are a few dudes at #GGDSydney. They’re allowed! They’re honorary geek girls. ๐Ÿ™‚


We get REAL food? Best. #GGDSydney. Ever.


Snook is so friggin’ old school. He’s trying to find irc client for iPhone so he can #GGDSydney chat without twitter. WHATEVER, GRANDPA.


My Mom should be at #GGDSydney. She’s a girl geek (web dev, in fact), and she’s my hero.


@GGDSydney I wish! She’s in the U.S. If a visit ever coincides, she will definitely come.


@zennith I switched to Telstra recently. I’ve got full reception at ggd. Go for it!


Ada Initiative email sign-up is here: http://j.mp/jYoCsO #GGDSydney


I asked @adainitiative if we women need to be assholes to succeed in open source. Happily, the answer is no. Change culture, not women.


RT @gusseting: there was this expectation that i’d be permanently “nice” and “bubbly” and so forth at work in IT. not happening. #GGDSydney


I asked @adainitiative if women need to be assholes to succeed in open source. Happily, the answer is no. Change the culture! #GGDSydney


Google’s women’s toilets: free tampons, flossers, hair dryer, straight iron, AND a technical newsletter in each stall. #GGDSydney #jealous


Do Aussie women have to pay upfront for courses? Thought everybody had HECS? #confusedYank #GGDSydney


@makarakarn Ahhh, that makes more sense. Just still can’t figure out why course cost is more a consideration for women than men. #GGDSydney


RT @MXYZ_: Can-tus. Lulz. #ggdsydney


I haz Google+. In fact, this geek girl was the one that hooked up all the dudes in the office with invites. ๐Ÿ™‚ #GGDSydney


@witty_knitter We heard talk that course cost is a factor in women not doing hard sciences/computers as undergrad. Don’t get why?


What I would have given for NCSS or Girls Programming Network in high school… Role models are CRUCIAL. #GGDSydney


ZOMG. I WON COMPUTER ENGINEER BARBIE. I actually WANTED one of these!! #GGDSydney http://twitpic.com/5j0b7s


As we were leaving Google, the Yahoo decided it was finally time to troll. http://twitpic.com/5j0rwc


@aimee_maree Totally agree. Met some awesome ladies from Sun Corp tonight at #GGDSydney!


@redambition I quote: “Oh, totally!” He’ll do it. ๐Ÿ™‚


RT @Illdrinn: Having @web_goddess run at me squealing when I told her she’d won a Computer Engineer Barbie was totally uplifting #ggdsydney


Look! I really did blog about Computer Engineer Barbie like 18 months ago. ๐Ÿ™‚ http://j.mp/mztHEp #GGDSydney @Illdrinn


RT @GGDSydney: Thursday 8 September, next girl geek dinner sponsored by Atlassian. Put it in the diary!


@Jinkeez They turned em off. But DM me your google name and I’ll try in the morning! (Somebody else will probably get you by then…)


@Illdrinn Seriously. I also took a photo of newsletter about refactoring. Because hey, that’s AWESOME. I want geekery in our work toilet…


RT @Illdrinn: Thanks to all who helped tonight and a special nod to @sundress and @sprongify for all their hard work Hope you enjoyed #g …


@Jinkeez Whoops. Rectified. ๐Ÿ™‚


Video from last night’s #GGDSydney is on YouTube: http://bit.ly/jt6WCO. I asked a question at the 26:00 mark. (Thank you @adainitiative!)


Second half of #GGDSydney talks are here: http://youtu.be/2KBc5rGzxbY. Excellent work from the organisers; best GGD yet!


Wow. I think @ebertchicago’s twitter account got hacked.


@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim I sent them to both of you yesterday! That’s what you get for not sitting in front of a PC 10 hours a day…


@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits I was pretty sure I did; same time I sent it to Matt I think.


I was going to be on time today. And then George Street happened.
