RT @GGDSydney: New #ggdsydney video! Watch it here: http://bit.ly/o6r59L @Illdrinn @sundress @AlienCroons @kesabeth @alphageekgirl @we …


In case that tweet was cryptic, there is a Geek Girl Sydney video and I am in it: http://bit.ly/o6r59L (Thanks @GGDSydney!)


@kunaal84 @drkknits Riiiiiiiight. Tell the fine people why you haven’t tweeted in the past 4 days. HMMMM? A BIT BUSY, WERE YOU? 🙂


@laimelde Whoa! I was tempted too… but that’s way more than I thought I’d pay for a ticket! Too much. I’ll stick to QI on telly. 🙂


Well, THAT’s a nicer domain name! http://www.kgnsw.org.au


@Kat13v Email addresses aren’t working yet; hopefully tomorrow…


Knitting Leyburn heels for the THIRD time. Curse my perfectionism!


RT @MXYZ_: Major lulz! RT @madebyfifty: Here you go Apple-haters… RT @Digeratii This pretty much sums it all up. http://twitpic.com/5vbvf9


Professor Death – such a handsome kitty. http://instagr.am/p/IfF9E/


Stupid cats kept me up from 2:30-3:30am. I feel like a rage-filled zombie. This is another reason why we don’t have children.


Decided to dress all grown-up today so @venks79 has some professional-looking backup during his big presentation!


@jasony I don’t think you’re allowed to drag kids out from under the dining room table and then throw them in the bathroom though, right? 🙁

@drkknits Book 3, and I am LOVING Grandma Tyrrell. I hope she’s not screwing Sansa over…


@drkknits Whoops. Meant to DM that. Luckily @kunaal84 is still on his booty call and hopefully not reading spoilerish tweets…


@AusVintageGrrl Sorry! Meant to DM but slipped. Will be good, I promise. 🙂


@snarkyboojum Hey, there you are! Welcome again to Chippo. Did you end up running yesterday? (What happened to your DM page?)

Great urge to take a texta and write on my umbrella: “YOUR GOLF UMBRELLA IS TOO DAMN BIG. WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE A SOCIETY HERE.”


@knitabulous When iOS5 comes out soon, you’ll be able to use the volume button to take pictures. 🙂


@thisismywww As you are a giant, you are one of the few people qualified to carry a big umbrella. So I give you a Free Pass. 🙂


It’s not that people hit me with their umbrellas. I just object to “me first” attitude embodied in giant brolly taking up 3/4 of footpath.


I used to roll my eyes at people with overly large umbrellas. Had to give up this winter because I was doing it every 5 seconds.


@Opheli8 Yes! When did that happen? It’s ridiculousl.


@redambition Would it fit two people comfortably? If not, you will not receive a Kris Death Stare.


@Cecilias880 Piss off spammer.


AWESOME. I am not the only person enjoying the current “80’s sax solo” resurgence in pop music, it seems. http://bit.ly/qv2bCa


HARDCORE. Going for a run in the rain with @rajsingh2505!


Who’s a badass running in the rain? Me and @rajsingh2505 are badasses running in the rain. http://twitpic.com/5tt2sz


@grannyg_in_nz More like drowned rats. 🙂


@drkknits “Their embarrassing failure when attempting simple tasks is a microcosm of our entire lives.” HA! Totally agree.


The best part of the R18+ video game news is my nerd glee at seeing the proper pluralisation of “attorneys-general.” http://bit.ly/raByPs


@sixandahalfst @witty_knitter @grannyg_in_nz I felt pretty feral walking back into the office dripping wet, I tell you!


WAIT, WHAT? NEVILLE WAS HERE, IN SYDNEY, TWO DAYS AGO? ARRRGHGHGHGHGH. http://bit.ly/qzg0M4 (@imdominating @carbolicious)


@redambition Dammit, no! I would’ve chucked a sickie and gone to meet him! Totes dreamy… 🙂


@witty_knitter Heh. I’m sure he’s used to middle-aged women fans/stalkers coming up to him all the time! 🙂


Last call! Knitters: looking for Shadow Tweed so my Purple Afghan can get bigger. Got at Camp last year. Anyone? http://twitpic.com/5rim9l


@GeorgieKnits Thank you for checking anyway!


Fancy international conference call finally finished! Being a grown-up does seem to eat into beer-drinking time. #latefordinner

@bellsknits @that_alison There are many int’l foodies that actually prefer American cheese for burgers. It melts beautifully.


While yes, there’s lots of gross American food, I would just like to say two words to the Aussies: MUSK STICKS. I rest my case.


@drkknits @gilmae Peeps are just sugar. Musk Sticks, as far as I can tell, are meant to mimick the taste of SECRETIONS FROM ANIMALS.


@that_alison @bellsknits I heard similar about chocolate in Aus. That a lot of it is sold as “choc” because it’s not legally chocolate.


I had no idea so many of you like musk sticks. This is disturbing.


Musk Sticks are the Australian equivalent of Circus Peanuts, in that I associate them with old people, styrofoam, and disgusting tastes.


And by Circus Peanuts, I mean these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Peanuts


@brodrigu Just somebody acting all horrified by American cheese. As if Australian cuisine didn’t have equivalent grossnesses.


@drkknits @gilmae Wait, what? Teeth? YOU ATE TEETH?


@drkknits Oh, THOSE. I’ve seen those before. Again, I think of that type of thing as “old people candy.”


What’s worse? Being a sociopath, or tolerating that behaviour OVER and OVER and OVER? #soverytired


Discovery: Paul Kelly’s “Before the Old Man Died” has a wicked saxophone solo. I’m, like, collecting 80’s sax solos now. In my head.


@knitdra Ooh, no. Must investigate!


RT @imdominating: OH in line at #SDCC: I wish a safety pin worked on leather


RT @imdominating: Just took the elevator down w/ a 50 year old Asian woman dressed as Pikachu #SDCC


@imdominating For 2 sec, Rodd and I considered going as Khal Drogo and Danaerys for Halloween. But neither really wanted to be topless! 🙂

Feeling decidedly weird, clammy, and pukey. Really hope I’m not getting what @lemon_lime has had!


“There’s no future in hard-coding business rules in procedural code.” Amen. #iiba


@bellsknits I can’t see the point of locking, unless the person needs total anonymity (like Witness Protection, but they shouldn’t tweet!)


@toastman Heh. Not going to ask that. Presenter is a Texan, and I think he’d glare at me.


This seminar has quite a few Hermiones. I am trying not to yell out “10 points from Gryffindor for being a favour-currying swot!”


@kunaal84 THIS Hermione would never interrupt a speaker who had 35+ slides to get through in 60min, just to show off with a lame anecdote!


@steven_noble Or did you inadvertently lock it in portrait?


Bookmarking the Ars Technical review of OS X Lion for later… http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars


@steven_noble Double-click home, then swipe left in the tray. There’s an “orientation lock.”


@steven_noble If it’s on, you should see a little arrow-circle thing in the upper right corner of your screen, btw.


@steven_noble Damn. That was my best guess! Now you’ve made me wary of updating mine…

@carbolicious @imdominating NOW WHO’S READY TO BE DISTURBED? http://on.io9.com/otDE83


In every way that yesterday sucked, today has rocked. Finally got my bearings, and I am kicking some serious ass. #patsselfonback


RT @kunaal84: Latest in rain fashion by @web_goddess http://twitpic.com/5seekx // I had no umbrella! I *did* have an Amazon box. INGENUITY.

Sitting in front of heater, feet propped up, crocheting away on afghan on my lap. When did I become my mother, and why do I LIKE it so much?


RT @andrewsayer: Google Plus iPhone app is now available in the iTunes Store. // http://bit.ly/ouqXV9 Just got it myself!


Rain. Buses all full. Took 10+ minutes to finally get one! Going to be late…


@lemon_lime Seems good for 1st release. My stream has lots of folks trying it out. Photos and Huddle are great.

@carbolicious @imdominating “Hot Neville” is now officially A Thing. http://gofugyourself.com/potterfugia-hot-neville-07-2011


Just trying to keep my head above water, and feeling like I’m failing…


I wouldn’t have thought that a pot roast could cure a bad day, but this one sure did: http://bit.ly/pActCY Best sauce EVER.


@drkknits You are inadvertently spoiling me! Because now I learn the fucker stays alive a lot longer. 🙁

New Docs! They are gloriously ugly and comfortable. Exactly what I wanted. http://instagr.am/p/H2ttJ/


@fictillius Huh. I also feel like I say that a LOT.


@witty_knitter My taste in shoes indicates that I was a Scandinavian lesbian in a former life, I think. 🙂

Blood donation FAIL! Was going to give plasma for 1st time, but couldn’t get decent vein in either arm. Will try again in a couple weeks. 🙁
