    30 people at today’s Guild meeting, and 3 new signups! We keep growing…

    Wow. Transit cops checking tickets on 440 bus. Only 2nd time I’ve been checked in Sydney in 7.5 years.

    I’m a good & organised host, but not a carefree one. I spend too much time making things go smoothly. Doesn’t leave much time for fun!

    @wookie_man I’m working more at that, and everyone is great at pitching in. I still find it difficult to relax at events I’ve organised.

    @witty_knitter They were checking near Town Hall, fairly close to start of line. Very silly. Better to check farther along, I think.

    Stupid Quadrahosting seems to fail repeatedly every single weekend. On the plus side, it’s a good reminder to take frequent coding breaks.

    Runners: should we take a baby aspirin every day? Reading and thinking… http://bit.ly/akwR

    Still no K.Rudd money. Now I feel like Calvin, waiting for the propeller beanie to arrive. http://bit.ly/T8O6o

    @redambition I’ve been reading too many of Kevin Smith’s tweets. My first assumption was you were going home to get high. 🙂

    New Harry Potter trailer. Holy crap – CHILLS. Love the reworking of Hedwig’s theme at the end. Movie must be 4 hrs long! http://bit.ly/LzJ3

    @redambition OH, for tomorrow?! HUZZAH! Looking forward to it.

    RT @DDsD: RT @larzshinobi: Number of pirates killed by each president http://twurl.nl/ub5dcw (hat tip @matttomalley)

    @sharre Bring your knitting, membership fee if you want to join there, and gold coin for tea. That’s it! No scary initiation ritual… YET.

    @witty_knitter Suddenly TwitterFon seems to pale in comparison. This is like Twitter as Mission Control.

    @sharre Oh! And @knitness is bringing her leftover yarn stock, so extra cash if you feel like stash enhancement. 🙂

    Just lost the “My layoff was worse than yours” game with coworker who got the call in the middle of his bachelor party. OUCH.

    Hypothesis: there is nowhere sadder to be on Friday night than the Kmart lay-by counter. Guess how I know.

    @Justacogitating Woohoo! Now I just need to move back to Indiana and commit a crime or somethin’. Uh. Forget I ever said that. 🙂

    Guild preparation is all done! Just going to have a quick shower and head out. See you all shortly!

    Coworker is packaging up “Heroes” shwag for contest winners. So. Jealous.

    @damana Reclaiming the word, I think. Also realizing that geeks are interesting. Being passionate about something is a GOOD thing.

    Thinking of giving knitting a miss tonight. Will see everybody on Saturday morning at the Guild meeting!

    @sharre Oh yeah! You have to specify one as your main group when you sign up, but you can go to any meetings you like.

    @sharre Not in my group! You can give me cash/transfer and I’ll take responsibility for sending it in. Worked great last month! 🙂

    @shanea @DDsD But… but… Grant is a scientist! He has a proper scientific calculator and everything! HE BUILDS ROBOTS, FOR GOD’S SAKE.

    Sucking down coffee and listening to the cats wrestle. Trying to work up the energy to go out for a run.

    Just completed a 4.24 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/fSvvV #runkeeper

    LinkedIn ettiquette: Got request to add from chick at my uni who I don’t remember AT ALL. Add anyway? I’m new to LI.

    @brodrigu I suppose if I ever move back to the U.S., yeah. Okay, added. (Hey, do I have you on there??)

    Indian summer. (Do they say that here?) Hot and beautiful. Gym circuit relocated to park to kick/catch football. Feeling sore but energized.

    Woohoo! Nearly time to head to Geek Girl Dinner. Had to sign NDA since it’s at Google. I may even give a talk! NERD. GRRRL. POWER.

    Google swag. Just waiting for my girls now! http://twitpic.com/3cfxu

    Sitting next to @misswired. Two beers down and knitting through tech talks. #ggd

    Ooh, fun. Just managed to connect to free Google guest wi-fi. #ggd

    Not to be sexist or anything, but what’s with all the dudes? I would have brought Snook if I’d known penises were allowed. #ggd #GGDS

    Reminded of how when I started last dev job, was told other guy devs just wanted to know if I was hot. Sisterhood! #GGDS

    Slightly unsure of true geek cred of some attendees. Have urge to go around testing with Star Wars trivia. “WRONG! TK421!” #GGDS

    Dude, Macs have command lines too. #GGDS

    Hm. Surrounded by Twitter marketroids. They look just like normal people! #GGDS

    Figured that 1 drink per interview Google put me thru before rejection would give me closure. Six drinks later = it’s all good, Goog. #GGDS

    Spent post #GGDS drinking time stalking cute Goog coder chick w/ @AusVintageGrrl. Such a fun night. Thanks @redambition for ride home! #GGDS

    @redambition Oddly, I feel pretty darn good! Had a crap night’s sleep, but judging by the tweets, so did everybody else who was there.

    @knitness Ha! Yeah, we thought she was the coolest. Her speech was the most technical but also very entertaining.

    Waiting for my K.Rudd money is like waiting for bags at the airport. Somehow I just know I’m going to be last.

    @FryingPan It’s a great thing! Congrats again on the new role. Hope it works out well for you. (Can’t be worse, right?) 😉

    Planning w/ @redambition & @AusVintageGrrl for Geek Girl Dinner tomorrow. Should we knit? I’m thinking HELL YEAH. Geeky + crafty chicks FTW!

    On the bus home from the gym. Booming thunder & lightning in distance. Thought it was fireworks at first!

    @johnnyagogo WORD. I also find it weird how people who wouldn’t be seen together in high school are all BFFs now that they’ve got kids.

    @Timmay83 Look for my jumper! Cabled grey one with a red ribbon on the front. (Strung up with fishing line, the bastards.) 🙂

    Mega productive. Got heaps done on M&S website, knitted, cleaned house, visited w/ guild cabal. Now: rain, wine, & Snook’s beer bread. YUM.

    My little brother Joey is jumping rope at school this week to raise money to fight heart disease. Please donate to him! http://bit.ly/ZmDjs

    Hm. Went to buy 1st Diet Coke in months and learned price had dropped. It’s like they WANT me to drink it.

    Just completed a 5.22 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/anppP #runkeeper

    Went for a 5K training run. Can’t let my Bay Run team down! Which reminds me – me, @Timmay83, @shanea, and Stef need a team name. Ideas?

    @mrs_sockvictim Got to chapter 2 of Red Mars last night. It’s REALLY good! Starts you in an exciting bit then jumps back several years.

    Productive Easter. Ran, knitted, & got loads done on TC site. (Glad I decided to go back to osCommerce 2.2.) Last day to sleep in…

    Walking to Chippo Farmers’ Market to pick up veggie box and then Glebe Markets to check out @knitness’s stall. I love our neighborhood.

    We eventually found @knitness’s stall! To the left when you come in, not far from the fence. http://twitpic.com/34scf

    Stupid Quadrahosting is down again. The universe is telling me to play Guitar Hero instead of working.

    @shanea Srsly. Unfortunately whenever I ask for a host that doesn’t suck, no one can think of one. I think they all do. 🙁

    I’m Mr. Brightside.

    Quadrahosting is kill me. 3 outages in 24 hours! Are there any hosts that don’t completely suck? MY KINGDOM FOR A NON-SHITTY WEB HOST.

    @mrs_sockvictim Feeling bleak? “The Road” by Cormac MacCarthy. Going to be a movie soon. Made me cry and cry. May shatter your world.

    Okay, I’m giving up on osCommerce 3.0. Non-optimised query was taking 200s. Cutting my losses and going back to old version.

    @mrs_sockvictim I can lend you it. I downloaded “Red Mars” free ebook last night. Famous sci-fi. Just started it. We could have read along!

    Awake. Barely. Happy Easter. We’ll be spending the day exactly as we spent the previous two. (Snookums is raiding in Azeroth right now.)

    You know, it’d be a lot easier to install oscommerce if stupid quadrahosting’s SSH access was working properly!

    Oscommerce successfully installed without SSH access! Because I’m just. that. cool.

    If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Now SSH is up but web server is timing out. Getting very little work done. 🙁

    With all these stinkin’ hosting provider issues, it’s probably time to finally set up a proper local test environment, right? But I’m lazy.

    @wookie_man Decision made when TC site was set up ages ago. Suits their needs. (Mac has php mysql etc. Just haven’t bothered to setup yet.)

    Frick. I think I may have caught @mrs_sockvictim and @knitness ‘s cold. Throat is suddenly sore in an all too crappily familiar way. 🙁

    Beer is medicinal, right? I’ve got the good stuff, if it matters.

    Progress was made. I’ve still got a lot to do. I’m suddenly realising that I way, way underquoted on this job. Albie’s gettin’ a bargain!

    @FryingPan CONGRATULATIONS! I’m so, so glad to hear it. Catch me on chat and fill me in on the awesome details. 🙂

    @imdominating Just replace “Jurassic Park” with “anything with Jeff Goldblum” and I’m right there with you.

    @imdominating And he’s all hitting in Laura Dern with his Chaos Theory talk. *swoon*

    Trying out Tweetdeck. So far so good. Best intro to features: http://www.richardbarley.com (Aside: Adobe Air is everywhere now, huh?)

    People keep bringin’ chocolate eggs to my desk! Which should make me more motivated for boxing but oddly seems to be having opposite effect.

    @DDsD The Arts Preview was enough for me. If you get a chance, stop by my jumper & grumble loudly that it should have won.

    @imdominating *shudder* I saw online today somebody making Sm’peeps. S’mores with Peeps as the marshmallow. THE HORROR.

    Today’s gym firsts: 101m in 20s on the rowing machine (w/ cold start), and 90s continuous jump roping. So glad I went!

    Heading to Morris & Sons for the SnB. Even though I have nothing on the needles at the moment.

    At Broadway. Lines are pretty long at both Liquorland and Baker’s Delight. Everybody is stocking up on the necessities!

    Essentials procured. Now settling in for 4 days of sleeping in. Bliss.

    @mrs_sockvictim Yeah. At one point I was pleading with Petey: “PLEASE go back to sleep! Quit trying to knock everything off the dresser!”

    @Timmay83 Yikes! That’s what happens when you start drinking at 3:30. Also – post pics.

    is starting work on new M&S site redesign. Probably going to take up my whole holiday weekend and then some.
