CHAOS! Fam’s @united flight back to LA from Sydney tomorrow has been cancelled. Trying to sort out replacement flights!
We had to ring @united’s international number and sit on hold to sort it out. Looks like they’re rebooked through San Fran!
Hmm. @united CSR told my family they were getting Economy Plus seats… but the ones they’re given aren’t. Tall stepdad is not happy.

I am pretty certain the Channel 9 Olympic host just said someone was the “twenty-oneth” ranked judo athlete in the world. “Oneth.”

Enjoying the #ggdsydney atmosphere with my Mom! A little nervous about speaking though…

The slides for my #ggdsydney talk on “Knitting Geekery” are here! – https://t.co/aBCSz6FB
@catehstn Thank you! I was a bit worried it was going to be a “novelty” topic, but I’m glad it had general interest. 🙂
RT @GGDSydney: Last talk about crazy kniting nerdery-great night at google #ggdsydney // That was me. 🙂
RT @blakkat: Plane fight #ggdsydney http://t.co/nLE5eJ6J // The green blur on the right is me, probably hitting someone in the eye.
@toastman I know, I know. I’m just kind of over the whole charity squares thing. They’re so boring to knit!

@venks79 @kunaal84 I had to return Bayswater rental car. Just passed Alex sailing down William St on his skateboard. 🙂
@codepo8 I already use it for a different shared password. Always fun when I ask @the_snook to log in for me…
@drkknits Damn. After last night, I realised how much I miss public speaking. Swap you for a while? 🙂
@venks79 @kunaal84 Enjoying time with my family. Back at work (and more importantly, on Skype) on Monday. 🙂

Knitting Geekery
Knitting Geekery
I’m still technically on vacation so I don’t want to spend too much time in front of a computer, but I had to tell you how AWESOME it was at Girl Geek Sydney tonight. I was worried that my talk on “geeky knitting” was a bit too twee and non-technical, but everybody seemed to love it! I got to go last and I do feel like the evening ended on a high note. And having my Mom there made it all the more special!Thanks to everyone who left lovely comments on Twitter and elsewhere. And huge thanks to the members of the Australian Knitters group on Rav who helped with suggestions. My slides are downloadable here with annotations for each example. (I’ve tried to credit each one I used, but please let me know if I missed any.) And feel free to leave a comment with any questions!
