@drkknits I have to defer to @imdominating or @kellymcmahon on that one…

@drkknits @markdrechsler Let the record show that I have *never* used “Chicago pickle” as a euphemism. (But I might start now…)
Arguing with Snook whether inherent reproducibility of some art forms (photography, printmaking) means value of the art is less. @crumpet?
@jojoconstance I guess I’m wondering why “the original matters”. That’s just artificial scarcity, isn’t it?
@jojoconstance This was prompted by me finding a print I liked that was $450, and him thinking it was too expensive “because it’s a print.”
@supercres She runs a close second to Hodor for me.
@jojoconstance There are artworks though that were intended to be done as copies. Like an Andy Warhol print.
@jojoconstance I think you’re talking about content of the art. I’m just talking about reproducibility. You could have an abstract print?
@the_snook @crumpet But you actually even listed a formula for it. You said every copy divided the worth of the original creation!
Confirmed with builders that they will be back again tomorrow. Project has now officially taken 2x as long as estimated!
@crumpet @the_snook Then question is: if you only have $X to spend, you should always get 1-off instead of print? Because it’s “worth” more?
@witty_knitter We had a quote for the whole job ahead of time. It’s just taking them a lot longer than expected!
@the_snook @crumpet I’m arguing with “For that amount of money, I’d rather have a one-off.” Because to me that part is irrelevant.
@witty_knitter There are other annoyances. My entire garden being a mess, construction rubbish everywhere, noise, having to be home…
@crumpet @the_snook Haha. There’s a map of Sydney artwork for sale on Temple & Webster today. $450. It’s big, but it’s printed.
@crumpet @the_snook I’m not really in favour of buying; I just thought it was a nice design. I’m just trolling him for being an art snob!
@crumpet @the_snook I found it at designer’s website: http://t.co/CoNdUU6IqV
@witty_knitter You obviously live in a house that has power outlets outside. Ours does not. We could leave keys, I guess.
@witty_knitter Just makes things more difficult with cats, etc. Also have had to make a lot of decision as they go.
@witty_knitter No possible working with deliberately wonky materials, in our case.
@henrytapia My impulse was to immediately go there and endorse you for it myself. But then I remembered I owed you one this week. 🙂
@handmethepanda Hahaha, yeah. I’m sure the builders would have preferred a more “Agile” T&M approach!
HOT DOG DEGUSTATION: http://t.co/SjFL7uiKqm It’s probably best that @drkknits is out of the country. She is my enabler for such things.
@gilmae @randomknits Their hot dogs are so. damn. good.
@randomknits You haven’t ever had them hook you up to an e-meter outside Town Hall Woolies? (Actually, I haven’t seen them there in ages…)
I’ve never thought of myself consciously as a networker, but based on job leads/tips I’m getting, I must be doing it right. THANKS EVERYONE!
We had our first test at the #IIBA study group tonight: 10/10. Hermione’s still got it.
@mrs_sockvictim But what about the question everybody is dying to know: how many points did I beat @miss_reecie by? 500? My poor nemesis!
@drkknits @imdominating There better be tweets with photos. This is going to get me through the day.
RT @ozgamer: Catch me @Ad :Tech Sydney TODAY with some great people sharing the knowledge… http://t.co/iZd61qggz9
@drkknits Too bad you won’t be there for St Pat’s Day. They dye it green, you know!
@drkknits Ooh, Macca’s will have Shamrock Shakes!
@drkknits Actually I don’t think I’ve ever had one. They’re mint, I think?
@imdominating @drkknits I imagine “stupid boys” to be a much more entertaining and fertile ground for conversation.
