Just spent 3 hours planting fruit trees on Myrtle Street with neighbours. Pretty shattered & tired now, but feel we’ve done our civic duty.
I am strangely burnt out on the Internet this weekend. No particular reason; just need a break, I guess. I’ll probably be back tomorrow.

I just approved my new business cards with “Business Analyst” as the job title. I got tingles from the official-ness of it all.
Wait a minute. Wasn’t there supposed to be a Fragdoll at #ggds last night? Did I miss her?
@Bex_the_Femme Hahahaha… I’ll go, but I’m sure Rodd will want to come with us. 🙂
If the whole Matthew Johns thing makes ME want to cry from comments by guys I know, I can only imagine what this Clare is going through.
@twelveeyes Keep ’em coming. I have been forwarding to folks at work and cracking up… 🙂
Oh ffs. Tried to impress sister with news of seeing Liza Minelli in November, and it turns out SHE MET HER at a wedding. Seriously.
@twelveeyes http://i31.tinypic.com/m97zip.jpg That one made me laugh out loud.
I don’t even know what this is, but if laughing at RPattz macros is wrong, I don’t wanna be right: http://bit.ly/Hbu5w
Just saw two RATS in Hyde Park, which is two more than ever before. *shudder*
@venks79 12! (Do I get a prize if I guess right?)
@misswired Ha! He was killin time waiting for me. 🙂
Ended up at Lowenbrau with @kunaal84, @Steffi_83, @Timmay83, @shanea, and several others. Had pork knuckle the size of my head. Now, sleep.
@Timmay83 Damn you 20somethings. The oldies were in bed by then. 🙂

I had no idea that Boston’s “Make Way for Ducklings” sculpture was such a target for theft and vandalism.
How a couple interns stole moon rocks from NASA: http://bit.ly/19Fl4S. Hilarious part: they put them on the bed and DID IT amongst them.
@alyshajane Oh fun, so we get to meet up! I have found a replacement non-threatening guy to fill Snook’s spot. Hello @kunaal84! 🙂
This office is so cold my fingers are numb. Hm… Steaming hot coffee at Toby’s is sounding like the goer for lunch.
RT @twelveeyes: RT @mikestuchbery Trespass Magazine’s coverage of the NRL sex fiasco is pretty good reading, folks -> http://is.gd/zEC0
Only in marketing-land is “easypay” an actual adjective.
@venks79 Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t mean it’s not immoral. He’s not a good role model for his sport.
Had a beautiful chicken salad down at Toby’s, where all the beautiful people come to get coffee, on a beautiful autumn Sydney day.
@misswired It’s definitely busted. I can’t see this tweet in my timeline either.
Tweets finally starting to come through again. Wonder if the ones that fell through the cracks will appear?
@glittertrash Ooh, yes! Actually, I think Michael of Sustainable House has introduced native hive in Chippo. Will ask him on Saturday.
@glittertrash Actually, I found email describing installing the hive. It came from here: http://www.aussiebee.com.au
Waiting for North Ryde train at Chatswood. On our way to Geek Girl Dinner! #ggds
So far Microsoft = party pies and Coke in plastic cups. Like a bad kids’ party. And wifi won’t access Twitter. FAIL! #ggds
Lego Challenge: build a tower with a twist of diversity. #ggds http://yfrog.com/eke6nj
Just realized I’m sitting next to @kcarruthers! #ggds
KUNAAL IS CHEATING AND COPYING ALL MY IDEAS. #ggds http://yfrog.com/0e7hej
Kunaal and our Lego battlescene (which somehow represents challenges facing women in tech). #ggds http://yfrog.com/0998432646j
Beer and nibblies in the Xbox lounge. Okay, Bill, this is definitely a step in the right direction.. #ggds
Kunaal and I rippin’ it up on Guitar Hero. #ggds http://yfrog.com/0mcycxj
@venks79 I have no preference. That’s just what Tweetie uses. (I switched from TwitterFon recently.) I didn’t even notice at first!
Home from Geek Girl Dinner. Much fun with @alyshajane, @corinoco, @kcarruthers, @acatinatree, @MrAndyPuppy, and of course my boy @kunaal84.
@corinoco I noticed, but I also noticed several of them were American. I figured there might be cultural norms at play too.
@alyshajane AHHHHHH, I SO want to go there! Please post photos.
Just completed a 5.16 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/gb9CH #runkeeper
Just got tix to see the fabulous Liza Minelli in November at the Ent. Center. Now I just need the appropriate “Lucille 2” shirt to wear!
Fun. Listening to male co-workers demand pics from #ggds. Not of the Lego. Of the “hot geek babes.” I wish I could say they’re being ironic.
Woo! Discovered how to ignore conversation notifications in Skype. Thanks @kunaal84…

Playing Guitar Hero in the Xbox lounge at Microsoft’s Australian headquarters. I brought K-boy as my guest for Geek Girl Dinner (http://girlgeekdinnerssydney.blogspot.com). There was a shocking lack of free beer at first, but that was soon rectified. Oh, and we built stuff with Lego.
The absolute best summation of the Matthew Johns controversy I’ve read all week: “It’s the gayest thing ever.” And she means it in the literal sense. HA!
Please, oh please don’t let them tax the Kriek even more! It’s my favorite import.
