    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.

  • I need terrible female engineers – Women and Work – Medium

    I need terrible female engineers – Women and Work – Medium – Great stuff. Yeah, I was one of the not-so-great coders, and that may well have contributed to my desire to get out of the field.

  • D.I.-Why?: Emily Matchar on the Allure of the “New Domesticity”￾ | The Hairpin

    D.I.-Why?: Emily Matchar on the Allure of the “New Domesticity”￾ | The Hairpin – Interesting. We were talking about this at lunch today. I was sitting at a table with ten other women in I.T., and we realised that several of us were knitters and others were bakers. My standard explanation is that being a knowledge worker means I build things that you can’t touch, so making things is a tactile hobby that appeals to me. But I can see where the author’s theory of “New Domesticity” could also play a part in its overall trendiness.

    @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

    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!
