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…

---

@AusVintageGrrl North Sydney. I emailed you details…

---

Oh man, WHAT? You mean PACEY auditioned for Captain Kirk? JJ Abrams, YOU’RE KILLING ME. http://bit.ly/10C2Uu

---

@wookie_man Just normal free-to-air SBS eps on Saturday night. We’re too cheap for Foxtel! This weekend it’s replaced by Eurovision though.

---

@imdominating Yep! Brief review on the blog. I liked it a lot. 🙂

---

Poll: Would you hyphenate “logged in”? (Usage: “Logged in users should…”) If so, how would you hyphenate “non logged in”?

---

@alyshajane Not sure. DM me your email and I’ll forward the lady’s number. A couple people are signed up, I think!

---

@wookie_man @sharre What if it were in a heading? Like “Home Page – Logged In Users” and “Home Page – Non Logged In Users”?

---

Ooh, the Snook has probably the best answer: Screw “logged in” and use “authenticated”. 🙂

---

@wookie_man I need to differentiate between the two cases.

---

@Steffi_83 I’m there! I’ll get Snooky to come after work if he can.

---

Anybody know what time the festivities are starting for Geek Girl Sydney tomorrow? May not make it by 6 depending on traffic… @damana?

---

@damana Yeah, but there will be mingle time at the beginning, right? Just wondering how early to leave work and catch a train…

---

SO COLD. Wishing I had an electric blanket tonight. The Snook and his crazy heat-generating metabolism will have to do.

---

Just discovered notorious Rav troll has changed her name. You know who. RougeTricot. I recognised it by her “writing” style.

---

@sharre I had the exact same thought. And then she started blaming the victim and referencing Twilight and that killed it.

---

Snook is bailing on me for Geek Girl Dinner. Any guys want to go? Otherwise will release our spots to waiting list…

---

@misswired He’s got a killer deadline he’s working on. 🙁

---

Judging by @grantimahara’s tweets, Australia is getting new Mythbusters eps BEFORE the US! We saw exploding bumpers this past weekend!

---

I don’t drive so I never listen to current radio. Just discovered Eric Hutchinson’s “Rock and Roll” and LOVE IT. What else is like this?

---

@Bex_the_Femme I KNOW. As I always say, get me @grantimahara’s autograph on a picture of his robot and I will be forever grateful. 🙂

---

@Bex_the_Femme No stalking! Just nerd admiration from afar. I heart guys who carry scientific calculators.

---

@misswired Is s/he wearing a toque with a pompom on top? As a fellow N. American, I know they like it when you address them as “hoser.”

---

Writing a new spec. I love when I ask a dev how difficult something is and they surprise me with “Not very.”

---

@BostonSydney I’m a dualie. They don’t make you renounce anything anymore. Here’s a more extended version of my path: http://bit.ly/yEjZO

---

@sharre I’ll admit to feeling a little weird when I see people directly addressing celebs. I prefer to just follow and talk ABOUT them. 🙂

---

Chili basil chicken at Big Boy Thai on Stanley Street. Yum. http://yfrog.com/0lrs8gj

---

@BostonSydney I was in Oz for years before getting married. It’s not a requirement here. They have “defacto” which is like common-law.

---

@BostonSydney I’ve got you confused! PM your email address. I came in on defacto spouse visa, which doesn’t require actual marriage.

---

@Timmay83 NO WAY! CONGRATS! (When is the housewarming?)

---

@Steffi_83 Congratulations on the house!

---

@shanea Good luck! I want to hear all about it – the parts you can remember – afterwards.

---

Trying to decide whether to fight our way into a Star Trek screening on Tight Arse Tuesday…

---

Tickets booked! Star Trek tonight at 7:30 at George Street. (Who knew Greater Union had assigned seating?! Weird.)

---

I blow-dried my hair today w/ center part instead of side & got told I looked like Kaylee from Firefly! Yay, compliment. http://bit.ly/d3feD

---

Me: “I have a sudden urge to wear a minidress and boots.” Snook: “You’re allowed!”

---

Got email from web host warning that my blog exceeded monthly bandwidth limit by 2 MILLION MB. Uh, no. Server reporting fail. #fb

---

@michaelengle People in my ND class protested that our speaker wasn’t “important” enough. Now they’ve got the friggin’ President!

---

@imdominating @Leetha “Runs” is a strong word. More like “ran it ten years ago, but now just collects the Google checks every month.”

---

Any Sydney knitters free Friday morning? Channel 7 needs 3-4 people to be knitting in the background on a new show. Contact me for details.

---

@randomknits Hahaha, I wondered that that deleted post said.

---

@DDsD TweetDeck lets you filter. You can enter http as the filter text. Just tried it out and it seems to work.

---

I’ve volunteered to help plant a couple trees in Chippo Saturday morning. Anybody else want to help? Reward = good karma.

---

@kunaal84 Woooooo! Let me know if you want app recommendations. 🙂

---

Vladimir Putin is like the brooding hero of a Broadway musical, and we’re all just the chorus. http://bit.ly/AkiJU

---

Got a fake domain renewal bill from droa.com today. I love that they assume I’m stupid enough to pay them 3x what I pay joker.com. Idiots.

---

@BostonSydney Well, here’s one expat. I didn’t come in on WH visa tho, so no help there I’m afraid.

---

Just completed a 5.54 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/16mIdd #runkeeper

---

My aversion to leggings may be based on fact that I have never in my life had tights that fit. But cutting the feet off seems like cheating.

---

@BostonSydney I can tell you in 3 words: “married an Aussie.” 🙂

---

Sock class done! Taught 9 newbies to turn a heel. Now for a much needed massage…

---

Dr. Amy does not like her pomelo helmet. http://yfrog.com/0gvutj

---

@redambition I only made it through half. Really, I just wanted them to finally do it. Everything after is AWFUL.

---

“I’d be wary about us designing our own house. It could have a high potential to turn out like Homer’s car.” – The Snook

---

@sharre She’s an absolute nutter. You, me, Sally… everybody’s copping it from her these days. Try to ignore it.

---

@sharre Wait, wait… She called you out on the Mod Squad? WHAT A BEEYOTCH. Glad the other mods put her in her place.

---

Phew! Guild meeting and presentation turned out to be a triumph. Thanks to @sharre and @redambition for nice words. 🙂

---

Early bedtime. Getting up at 06.30 to head off to the Domain for the Mother’s Day Classic 8K! Goal: just to finish in under an hour.

---

Just completed a 7.91 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/lTUwB #runkeeper

---

Woohoo! Goal met exactly. Ran the whole thing without walking, under 60 min, Peaky Striders defeated. Now, a hot shower.

---

Stress is getting to me. I really need a massage. Perhaps I should’ve accepted the offer from that weird lady at knitting last night…

---

Snook suggested mussels & beer at Belgian Bier Cafe, and I could’ve wept with joy. Just what I need after stressful week… On my way now!

---

@venks79 Unfortunately it ain’t over yet! Sucks when your hobbies become 2nd jobs and kill your weekends.

---

Upstairs at the Belgian Bier Cafe. Mussels and beer have been consumed. http://yfrog.com/0a5o3j

---

Finally finished my presentation for Knitters’ Guild tomorrow… at 1am. Yikes. My contacts are probably glued to my eyeballs.

---

@sharre DUDE! I almost wore mine today but switched to black at the last minute. But I had the same impulse.

---

@SSSYD Um… I DON’T DRIVE. Since when does that benefit “all” Sydneysiders?

---

The @SSSYD secret is revealed: using Twitter to track parking inspectors. I don’t drive & people who park illegally annoy me. Unfollow!

---

Awesome link of the day: http://bit.ly/WjKSD – an explanation of why Jughead’s head looks like a crown. This is what the Internet is for.

---

I’ve got use cases coming out of my ears.

---

I am suddenly very conscious of my involuntary habit of dancing at my desk while listening to music.

---

I defy any one of you to listen to “Islands in the Stream” without dancing. IT’S KENNY AND DOLLY, DAMMIT!

---

@damana Asking for a friend: Would bringing a baby to GGD be a problem? I told her I didn’t see any kids last time…

---

I want to head to Stitch and Bitch but I’m slowly being strangled by the Spec that Ate East Sydney.

---

@SSSYD Mostly it was the promise that this would help all Sydneysiders, when really it only helps ones who A) drive and B) illegally park.

---

Good enough for now. I’m going to knitting.

---

@redambition That sucks. *hugs* Only one more day til the weekend… You can make itl.

---

@Steffi_83 Ha! From Spudds last night? How was it??

---

@Steffi_83 Sure! Mondays are better because they give me more time to recover, but I can do Tue in a pinch…

---

@Steffi_83 Sure thing… I’ll be there!

---

Just completed a 5.39 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/Ygwpg #runkeeper

---

My superpower: Ability to peg a small black cat w/ balled up pair of socks from across the room IN THE DARK WITHOUT MY GLASSES ON. Fear me!

---

I ran for the first time in a week today, 5k at an easy pace. I feel fantastic! I’m optimistic about a good finish in the 8k race on Sunday.

---

@sharre Yay! That’s one more interesting thing to look at in the cases next year, then. 🙂

---

Got reply from STA Buses APOLOGISING for behaviour of 461 & 480 drivers @ Broadway. The one I bitched about “will be spoken to.” GOW FTW!

---

@steven_noble Oh, I can post it if you want. I just got fed up with them stopping 1/2way up the block so people can’t get on in the AM.

---

@sharre I have been entertaining the idea of knitting a vampire doll and sprinkling glitter on its face for some time. Hm. Possibilities…

---

Everybody wants to hear the bus story, so here it is: http://bit.ly/1anufg. @steven_noble, feel free to crosspost to LIC if you want.

---

It’s not nearly as scandalous as you might have guessed.

---

@twelveeyes I had to google that. I’m only a new Top Gear watcher, so I don’t know all the Stig lore!

---

Currently drinking my first Mountain Dew in… god… YEARS. My taste buds are saying “no” but my brain is saying OHHHH YEAHHHHHH.

---

@ScottRhodie Guru?

---

@Timmay83 You should’ve run down by the domain. You would’ve seen me and @venks79 trying to kick footballs and failing miserably. 🙂

---

When I listen to James, suddenly I’m a 20-year-old uni student in London all over again…

---

@Timmay83 It was our class with Spudds. On nice days we go to have a kickaround in the field by the Art Gallery. But we should practice!

---

@twelveeyes Ahhh, we recorded that one but haven’t watched it yet! I’ll watch with an eye towards a possible knit creation. 🙂

---

I can confirm that donkey basketball (http://bit.ly/11L74S) was big-time entertainment growing up in Indiana. Probably still is.

---

@Roceal Most likely, but odd considering I hadn’t consumed any Transformers or Heroes recently. I blame the Snook’s cajun-spiced pork chops.

---

@imdominating Nice one! I love the writer’s attempt to describe chicken-and-noodles.

---

RT @imdominating: My area of Indiana made the NYTimes! http://tinyurl.com/dczm9t I like the author’s attempt to describe chicken-n-noodles.

---

RT @kellymcmahon: Wow, this says it all: http://tinyurl.com/ddzdpt <- The anti-vaccination people make my head explode.

---

@SSSYD Not #blackout alerts? Twitter already handles that pretty well…

---

@redambition The TV show? I can’t watch it. I am super annoyed by the realisation that there are only, like, 20 people TOTAL on Aussie TV.

---

Stupid butchers making me feel all self-conscious and foreign and crap… http://tinyurl.com/dekhc3

---

@SSSYD Cane toads. Early warning system for the menace from the north?

---

@kdelarue Have been following along with your tweets and hoping for the best. My thoughts go out to you and your family…

---

Next Geek Girl Dinner Sydney meeting is at… Microsoft. Dare I visit the Borg? Will this iGirl burst into flame? http://bit.ly/174sMJ
