    @1funkyknitwit Super cute!


    Ooh. I have a new follower: @smark31. Is that who I think it is? 🙂


    @smark31 I knew we’d tempt you in eventually! As with anything, it’s what you make of it. Let me know if you have any questions… 🙂


    @mayorofnewtown Service from Next Byte has been pretty hit-and-miss over the years. They need competition, I think.


    RT @imdominating: Thing I learned today: Wormtongue was the voice of Chucky. Just in case you didn’t think he was creepy enough. #themor …


    @janiematts The real Apple whores spotted the DA at Broadway months ago. 😛


    I have to say, @Sitback knows how to keep staff happy. I love my NEW GIANT MONITOR! http://t.co/PIRT7Qlb


    Looking forward to tonight’s @GGDSydney event. Thanks to Atlassian for hosting!


    @astroboysoup I know… I don’t think I can. Drupal group last week, #IIBA mixer last night, then GGD… Too many social engagements! 🙂


    @FlavourCrusader The revamped Duck Inn in Chippo (formerly Duck & Swan) is great! New chef is fantastic.


    @VenessaHunt Neat! I need a bigger seat to do that; mine is too little.


    Just spotted @mikeefreedom sailing down Clarence St on his fixie!


    Pasta at #GGDSydney smells too good! I’m trying not to ruin my dinner later…


    Note to self: try out tomatoi.st for pomodoro timing!


    Very cool to meet @nabeelahali tonight, who evidently knows my buddy @henrytapia!


    @henrytapia @nabeelahali Damn! I was being Hermione up the front. Wondered if you were around.


    Started #GGDSyd feeling like Kristy Nofriends; finished talking to loads of people. Perhaps due to all the pear cider. Thanks, Atlassian!


    Confessed to @pyko tonight at #GGDSyd that I still use HTML tables for layout. She only slightly cringed.


    Fascinating preso from Deborah tonight at #GGDSyd on teaching computer skills to seniors. Very relevant to my experience with @KnitGuildNSW!


    @Yarna_ @witty_knitter Heh. Definitely wasn’t referring to you! But wasn’t being snarky; it was good to get tips on how older folks learn.


    @Yarna_ @witty_knitter Actually asked about volunteering with http://t.co/FS2TXU9A but seems they prefer teachers to be 50+. I can get that.


    @VenessaHunt Whoa – big step indeed! Congrats. 🙂


    Questions from parents about their kid’s homework are weird. I never asked my parents to help me find a paper topic. (Valedictorian, baby.)


    @mikeefreedom I was on foot last night, heading over to Atlassian for a geek girl meetup. But I’m riding again, trying to build up!


    @Opheli8 We prepaid for a year of HCF several weeks ago.


    @Opheli8 I saw a news article about it a while back. That’s where we got the idea. But HCF also sent us a letter suggesting it too.


    @Alegrya @Opheli8 This is where we got the idea: http://t.co/qwVAk3dq


    @mikeefreedom Yep. Seeing osteo now about my neverending knee issue, and he’s confident we can fix it up!

    Reason #319 I love working in the Rocks: business meetings that involve pork pies in front of the fireplace at the Lord Nelson.


    Finally got to meet the elusive @brown_note at tonight’s #IIBA event in Sydney! http://t.co/b7aArauK


    Very excited to see @YonixBA demo at #IIBA Sydney event tonight. Can’t wait to try it out…


    Nearly forgot: this is the other vintage dress I got on the weekend. I like it! http://t.co/JjjlLMX7


    @RoseRed_Shoes Yes, indeedy! Pockets! It’s very comfy. I expect it would look even better with a belt tho.


    @drkknits We found an AWESOME retro shop in Chippo with amazing clothes and furniture. Balatro Sydney. LOVE IT.


    @redambition I quit the day after Zynga bought them. Apparently millions followed suit.


    @venks79 @kunaal84 I really, really hope you forwarded that to all@. Some folks haven’t quite grasped that point. 🙂


    RT @venks79: Embrace change. Learn to let go http://t.co/WcdZP4ME // So guilt-tripping resigning employees isn’t recommended mgmt tactic? 🙂


    @venks79 I’m not seething about it on a daily basis. But when someone shows you their true colours, you remember that!

    Whoa. Sylar and Jonathan Groff are a couple? How did I not know this? AWESOME. http://t.co/I0uUoj0f


    @mrs_sockvictim Made it home no dramas! Main road is a lot shorter & faster. 🙂


    Nothing like finishing off a big spec at ten to midnight on Sunday… *yawn*

    Mmm, hot choc and raisin roast. Giving blood earns one a Free Carb Pass, I always feel.

    Woohoo! Guild Camp 2013 venue has been decided. Stay tuned…


    @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes I wasn’t going to dress up, but then I found the PERFECT dress! http://t.co/3inG1fbY


    @misswired @the_snook @pixel8ted Hmm… Probably not; we’ve been recently. Happy to go if you need our cards to get in tho!


    @knitabulous Thank you! That was the pleasantest Exec meeting I have EVER attended. 🙂 cc @merrinmez @witty_knitter @ClareLouise1308


    Going to a 1970’s themed party. I LOVE THIS DRESS. http://t.co/D7tzo10w


    @mrs_sockvictim @randomknits @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes Where are you all? It’s all parents & kids here!


    What do you take to a classy 70’s party? Rosé, of course! http://t.co/JvI4daJa


    @PortugueseChook Rodd looked for that one! They didn’t have it. 🙂


    @Yarna_ @randomknits Hey! Just because a person HAPPENS to be stirring the fondue when a giant CRACK rings out…


    Have left 70’s party in search of poutine. Hopefully we can get a seat at the bar at @Hartsyard!


    @brown_note I can put you up, if you’re not allergic to cats. 🙂


    @brown_note That makes me sound like a crazy cat lady. We have 2 cats and a spare room. And I’m going to IIBA mixer Monday night.


    @brown_note Excellent. Will look for you there. Our place is in Chippendale, so daily close to Exhibition Centre.


    Contemplating a mountain of poutine. HELLZ YEAH. @ Hartsyard http://t.co/rxxNcBPQ


    @randomknits Life-changing. Poutine, oyster po’boys, and duck rillettes with foie gras. With beer. So full. Very satisfied.


    @randomknits Worth a trip sometime. They were booked out but we got seats at bar after a short wait. Have to go back for the fried chicken!


    @jannism Hot.


    @jannism I have recently become aware of my own shameful addiction to One Direction. I covet the mug.
