    It was really cool that #sydneyaug had women's style and size t-shirts last night. Thanks @atlassian!

    User Group Meetup! Anybody here I know? #sydneyaug (at @atlassian) http://t.co/yPh7hGSY2e


    @Helen__H We’re like ships passing in the night, I tell you!


    @nolim1t @kunaal84 He’s stuck at work!


    Excited for this Confluence demo so I can see what @henrytapia’s been up to… #sydneyaug


    Confluence 5: “bringing sexy back.” I like the idea of enterprise software that still attempts to be “lust-worthy.” #sydneyaug


    Huh. I’ve never heard of a product team making changes simply to make their app look better on a projector! Interesting. #sydneyaug


    Confluence 5 will have a blueprint for Requirements! Nice for us BA’s… #sydneyaug


    @clepetit Well, I’m clearly going to your talk then! πŸ™‚


    We’ve been using Google Sites for a wiki at work. Confluence looks to blow that out of the water. I’m excited. #sydneyaug


    @nolim1t Our group has tshirts. Does your group have tshirts?


    From a product management standpoint, it’s interesting to see how Sharif handles requests for features that aren’t yet supported. #sydneyaug


    Torn between desire to be polite and listen to @clepetit and temptation to look up his parody twitter accounts… #sydneyaug


    I feel sorry for the dudes at #sydneyaug not getting to experience awesomeness of Atlassian ladies room. Candles! GHD! Hair dryer! Perfume!


    @delitescere I’m now wondering what tragic leg conflagration resulted in @bryanjrollins having no leg hair…


    RT @DhyanaScarano: The stragglers at #sydneyaug. Another awesome night! Thanks everyone πŸ™‚ http://t.co/7sZKR6g8zi // That’s me!


    RT @sherifmansour: A big thank you to everyone for an awesome Atlassian user group tonight especially to @DhyanaScarano for organising! …


    @drkknits We just use ATMs in the US and make sure to get out enough that we don’t get the $5 fee too often.


    RT @tammybutow: Great interview with @pamelafox her time saving tips are excellent! http://t.co/ydnBIs6Gz4

    Remember the great Kitchen Renovation of 2012? Well, prepare yourselves. The Great Garden Renovation of 2013 starts tomorrow. You can expect a lot of photos of muddy contractors over the next fortnight as we transform our back garden into a lovely paved courtyard!

    I rode my bike home and smiled serenely while drivers stuck in traffic fumed. But I probably shouldn’t have, as my knee is now extra sore.


    I have decided it’s going to be THAT sort of night. #pimmscup http://t.co/rXIoaUyl


    @drkknits Thanks be to @Yarna_, who left nearly a full bottle at my house. I owe her for that one…


    RT @sustainablechip: Composting bins gone…. http://t.co/cR6I6KVX // Aww, that sucks. We used them.


    @drkknits @Yarna_ Hm. This is only 25% alcohol. That’s not gonna work.


    @drkknits @Yarna_ Unfortunately I don’t have enough lemonade, and this stuff is like medicine straight up. I’ll have to get creative.


    @knitterjp @drkknits @Yarna_ YOU JUST BLEW. MY. MIND.


    @drkknits @knitterjp @Yarna_ You don’t even know the half of it. http://t.co/9wVCz6MA


    @knitterjp @drkknits @Yarna_ Goddammit I COOKED THOSE!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits @Yarna_ Ginger ale is recommended on the bottle, actually. I just don’t have any.


    @knitterjp @drkknits @Yarna_ He’s raiding. In Azeroth. You know how it is.


    Proof that @the_snook is not the only person in this house that can cook a damn dinner. http://t.co/O9Q9O7R4


    @knitdra @Yarna_ I am having enough *hic* for ALL of us.


    The lemonade is gone so the Pimm’s Cup has run dry… but I just found tonic water and a full bottle of Gordon’s. Hey! My knee feels better!


    @steven_noble I agree. Sadly, we are about to start garden renovation and he rain certainly isn’t helping!


    @redambition @drkknits Gin smells goooood.


    @redambition @drkknits I know someone flying internationally verrrrry sooooooon…


    @drkknits @randomknits @redambition They have those at Costco, I think. My Dad is a big fan of the margarita ones at home. Hmm. Idea.


    @chainedchaos31 Cats are pretty solitary and they sleep most of the day. We had 1 for years, then got her a companion cat. She hates him!


    @venks79 First drink I’ve had in some time, believe it or not!


    RT @supercres: Whoa! Kristen Wiig will be playing young Lucille Bluth! http://t.co/7j1b1pxZ // THAT. IS. AWESOME. (cc @drkknits)


    @krisalis I hear you! *waves*

    I rode my bike to/from work today. On the plus side, it was a nice day and there was major traffic chaos, so I got to pootle along in the sunshine and get home quickly while car drivers honked and shouted and fumed. On the minus side, I probably shouldn’t have. My knee feels pretty sore now, and my physio will probably kill me. Too much, too soon. πŸ™

    It’s been a long time since I drank a G&T out of a pint glass. (cc Elizabeth McKillop)

    @JennaPrice Yes. I commented with this link (http://t.co/FRplvdrL), about women in I.T. being largely responsible for “empathy work.”


    Looking forward to attending my first Atlassian User Group meetup this week! http://t.co/Dh6aQs3B


    Any US expats have a recommendation for a tax preparer in Australia? Mine is way too expensive…

    @JennaPrice Thanks. I tried him but he doesn’t do US or have any US connections…

    It’s a little depressing reading about really cool conferences that I know I’m not going to attend.


    @nolim1t Ha, NOT. I mean an actual work-related thing, not a Carnival of Hipsters. πŸ™‚


    @nolim1t No. Just one here in Sydney.

    This headache has been going on for 12+ hours. I feel like I’m going to barf. Does that qualify as a migraine? #backtobed
