@justasitsounds Ha. I’m just watching the results now!
YAAAAAAAYYYYY! My favourite won #GABO!
@justasitsounds I had all sorts of ideas on the way home. User UI, admin UI, all kinds of stuff. I’m excited!!
@drkknits If Nancy had a patisserie, I’d go to it.
Apparently, One Direction cover “Teenage Dirtbag” on their movie soundtrack. It’s not on iTunes. This is now my mission. (cc @the_snook)
@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim I was actually trying to come up with a decent joke there myself. 🙂
My colleague made Poo Cupcakes! http://t.co/2HFHgSMUYt
@randomknits I like the bunnies, but man, I can’t stand designs that preclude wearing a bra.
Surprised to run into @snarkyboojum at @Mi9 today leading an AWS session! It took us like 5min to recognise one another. (He’s beardless.)
@drkknits I had a splinter a few weeks ago. I channeled my Indiana heritage and made a BAKING SODA POULTICE.
RT @Orange_Swan: New Kids on the Block and Vanilla Ice fan sweaters. Oh yes. #NKOTB #VanillaIce #Ijustboughtposters

@clepetit Luckily I realised it as I was doing it. I was still tempted though…
TIL: Google All Access in Chrome requires Flash to play music. The UI doesn’t tell you that at ALL. Spent 10 minutes trying to troubleshoot.
Warm Rocket Salad with Bacon & Poached Egg. The rocket’s from my garden! #myfoodstory #produce http://t.co/q8iZEIkuqT
My other RSPCA Cupcake Day offering: Heisenberg Blue Cupcakes! Kicks like a mule, yo. http://t.co/ZYOgwr2Yvs
@drkknits I was tempted to take off my pants. But I didn’t.
Inside the Heisenberg Blue cupcakes! http://t.co/cLI3aWpBMY
Knitters: what is a decent but not too expensive bubbly? I need a case of it for a, uh, unnamed knitting event.
@lifeasdaddy That took me, like, 5 minutes to get.
@witty_knitter Haha, $8.50 per bottle if you get 6 at Dan Murphy’s! WINNER.
@RoseRed_Shoes Too much, given that I need to buy like 15 bottles. 🙂
@drkknits I’m getting some fake ones too. What do you like? (However, this is for Friday night…)
Let’s put it this way, everyone. Is Yellow awful? http://t.co/CWUPz2ay1I
@RoseRed_Shoes There will be, but you guys aren’t coming Friday night, right?
@stufromoz The less I spend on grog, the more I can spend on things like masseuse and raffle prizes and cupcakes.
@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Cool, thanks!
@AusVintageGrrl Cool. Given that I’m really only allowing like 1 glass a person, it’ll do. 🙂 Thanks…
@drkknits I’m sure there will be other non-drinkers. And if there’s any left, you can drink it Saturday! 🙂
Next question: mini-cupcakes. I want to order a lot, but they don’t need to be fancy as I will decorate myself. Ideas?
@mrs_sockvictim That’s what I was thinking. Thanks!
@twalve Hahaha, now there’s a mental image!
@trudib73 Should be fine. We’ve got 3 fridges in the lodge!
Made it onto the bus bearing 23 cupcakes. Cross fingers I make it to work without jostling!
@jeaniebabb It was sacrificed for Quality Control. 🙂
Exec meeting is happening, yes? I’m on my way… @SallyPompom @witty_knitter @ClareLouise1308
Last pre-Camp Guild Exec meeting! (@ Powerhouse Museum – @phmuseum) http://t.co/K9GXVl9Lb8
I have 12 things on my To Do list. Then we cracked open the Breaking Bad DVDs for the first time. Whoops.
This one loves his Papa the most. http://t.co/tMy5BSVv5L
Was up til 2:30 helping with a DR simulation for work. Now I’m so groggy I just poured the salsa meant for my scrambled eggs into my coffee.
Lunch with 10 smart IT women! (cc @GGDSydney) I had a post-hangover meatball sub. (@ Palings Kitchen & Bar) [pic]: http://t.co/SxKB0ncCSZ

You know the expression “back teeth are floating”? Yeah. That. cc @hoganau
@supercres MSG! The secret ingredient in most of my family’s Korean recipes. 🙂
@supercres I just knew it as Ajinomoto growing up. It was ages before I realised it was MSG. http://t.co/ipgEBTNjDN
Lunch with the Sitback boys! (@ Nakashima) http://t.co/uI7MIKBWGz
RT @chieftech: DISRUPT.SYDNEY on 5th Sept is now a free event – register at http://t.co/WlYiFNolZR (cc @timparsons)
@catehstn Hey, fellow Mi9er Sam B got invite to Sept 11 event, but @knitterjp and I haven’t yet. Did we miss out? 🙁
I was due for a reality check, I guess.
is in no mood to suffer fools or social niceties tonight.
@witty_knitter @redambition Oh, just a few minor annoyances in quick succession. That stupid Rav thread didn’t help.
@redambition @randomknits @witty_knitter Extra fun part: one of the other mods is retiring. Who wants the job? I nominate M-H, just for fun!
@witty_knitter @randomknits @redambition BOOM. Go forth and wreak havok.
@randomknits @witty_knitter @redambition Some knitters just want to watch the world burn…
@witty_knitter @randomknits @redambition There’s no could about it. I pulled the trigger. You’ve got the power.
Drinking $10 cooking port. Just about the last alcohol in the house.
@drkknits It’s to the point now where we’re timing international flights to keep the duty-free bar stocked up.
@witty_knitter @randomknits @redambition What would be the point of being a mod otherwise? 🙂
Only a few people left who haven’t booked into their Camp workshops. *LOOKS STERNLY AT @randomknits AND ALSO ZENA WHO IS NOT ON TWITTER*
@randomknits WHAT?! This is what I get for fast-forwarding commercials. What happened to Ketut??
@garethrhughes Is it the name or the concept you disagree with? 🙂
@garethrhughes Everybody sucks at estimation. I agree it feels a little juvenile, but I’m also enough of a data nerd to want MEASUREMENT.
@garethrhughes Ah. I come from that world too. Unfortunately we sucked at it so, so badly. Everything ran over every time.
@garethrhughes So it’s just abstraction then. 1 pt for me = 8 hrs, or some such equivalency.
@garethrhughes I’m still new to it. I’m surprised how well it’s averaging out on Jump-in though, in spite of all the fudging!
@randomknits Tunisian’s closed – you missed the boat on that one. It’s really only important if you want Dairing or Lace.
@randomknits Cool, cool. You are officially booked in for NOTHING then! (I still get the satisfaction of crossing your name off my list.)
@drkknits @randomknits Breakfast from 8am, lazy boneses.
@randomknits @drkknits I’m just sad Tianne isn’t bring the cornet.
RT @catehstn: Women in Computer Science: It’s a Hard Problem (a rant about men who think they have the answers, but don’t) http://t.co/L0dt…
@catehstn I made it to my mid-20’s before I dropped out. Only came back because we got a mortgage.
@witty_knitter @randomknits @drkknits More time with the masseuse for me! (Did I not mention the masseuse?) 🙂
“Whoopie pies have failed to catch on.” http://t.co/3CRDuAgiwM TELL ME ABOUT IT.
@catehstn @knitterjp Got mine! Thank you!
@BriWrites Yep. Gaiman says people always think he made it up. We went there in 2010: http://t.co/QVQMvJ2uid
@BriWrites Carousel is surreal. I also got my fortune from the same machine as Shadow. Bonus: it’s near the Frank Lloyd Wright MURDER HOUSE.
@StuartCRyan @clepetit We have a couple people at @Mi9 doing interesting things with Atlassian products…
@StuartCRyan @clepetit Probably not me, but I can ask around and see if anybody’s interested!
@StuartCRyan Oh, I’ll present at the drop of a hat. Just not sure I have anything cool or relevant for that crowd to discuss! 🙂
@StuartCRyan Sadly, I think it’s too short notice for the people I had in mind here. Sorry…
Oh good grief. Sportscraft have introduced a LIBERTY HIPSTER HAT. http://t.co/hYgiXkfQW8
@zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl Their incidence among the non-hipster population is sadly dwarfed by their popularity with hipster douches.
@StuartCRyan Unfortunately not – we’ve got a team event on all afternoon/evening. Maybe next one though! (Is there a mailing list?)
It is a legit problem that I actually like my job, project, and team so much that it’s hard to leave the @Mi9 office sometimes. #shmoopy
@StuartCRyan I thought I was on it before, but maybe didn’t re-register after it moved from old system. Will sign up again. 🙂
The next time I start bitching about how much work the @KnitGuildNSW Camp has been, remind me that I’ve met some genuinely wonderful people.
@drkknits I just had the nicest talk with a fiber artist who’s married to a SWORDSMITH!
@drkknits She said she’s got 50 beardy dudes camping in her garden this weekend for some sort of sword making event. TOTES YOUR SCENE!
@drkknits As the Snook put it, “Mittagong hippies, man.”
@pyko Woohoo! I had a very UNproductive weekend, but on the plus side, I think I’m finally over that cold. 🙂
@surrenderdotty I always make a point of sitting with those people.
@surrenderdotty I also always sit next to people who put their handbag on the seat, or dudes who splay their legs open.
@surrenderdotty Whether I’m punishing them or myself is probably a fair question.
RT @mmastertheone: My father likes to explain preferential voting as “The largest proportion of the population winds up with the candidate …
@janiematts I wish I’d seen that before I got on the bus at Wynyard. 🙁

@drkknits I didn’t even have a bad day and I ate a cupcake within 5 minutes of walking in the door. #fail
@drkknits I told him to take all three to work with him. He just took one. THE FOOL!
@drkknits Holy shit. *bows down*
RT @Orange_Swan: The review of Twist Collective’s Fall 2013 issue is up. http://t.co/uK8npnPKdP #knitting #TwistCollective
RT @the_snook: Why does @twitter mobile site not allow zooming in on images? People tweet memes and I can’t read them.
@brittanieshey The One. Friend me on there if you like! I am better at sleeping than walking though. 🙂
House filled with smoke due to candied bacon in the oven. Really. #hipster #baking #prototype
Prototyping for RSPCA Cupcake Day. I call it “The Elvis”: banana cake with a peanut butter centre,… http://t.co/6hTaWiVoL5
@drkknits Yeah, Twitter cut off full description. And honey buttercream. 🙂
@aunty_toots Only a timer though.
@aunty_toots Nah. It was for a productivity talk on Pomodoro technique. Needed to be a tomato timer! But I got away with just a photo.
@Ezzles Near Chippo today? I’ve got a few left. 🙂
@stufromoz I got egged on Parramatta Rd in a mixed group (no handholding). Some people are just assholes.
Just had to book an extra conference room for the @KnitGuildNSW Camp due to “unprecedented demand.” BOOYAH.
It’s entirely possible that I’ve been watching too much My Little Pony. #twilightsparkle4eva http://t.co/1lMSrGwjMI
