    Dragging my phlegmy self to the doctor…


    Bloody. Hell. Two antibiotics for cough, plus Rikodeine, PLUS antibiotic eye drops for my PINKEYE. Rodd says, “It’s probably lupus.”


    @suzyhausfrau I reckon you did!


    @mudsurfer Yeah, makes me a bit nauseated too. I’m only going to have it for sleep.


    @phoebegoh @Bigcommerce So sorry I missed it! Got hit by my second cold of Spring. 🙁


    RT @SerriLaw: Awesome night out learning the evils of tech debt, how huge the data-verse is and to embrace our soft skills at #ggdsyd !


    Antibiotics consumed and squirted in my eye. Now waiting for codeine to kick in so I can hopefully sleep.

    Why I was Wrong about Unit Testing – Part 1 – Unreasonability http://t.co/xvl2L12XSZ // Great post by one of my team devs


    @zosainsbury TOTES. (Too bad you don’t sit near me anymore.)


    @drwitty_knitter *raises hand*


    @drwitty_knitter @mamabook Wait, does this mean I’m the IT support for the cave? DO NOT WANT.


    @zosainsbury No idea. I got bored of sitting through the bits between Dean Geyer getting his kit off.


    @chrisgander @zosainsbury Recently @venks79 said “abs muthafucken totes” to me in a Skype chat and I laughed and laughed.


    Been fighting with Jira all afternoon. Annoyed that the answer that keeps coming up is “You’re doing Agile wrong. Change it.” GRRRR.


    Ha! Thanks to @merrinmez for pointing out that I actually volunteered for #knitcamp in Oct 2011. Nearly two full years ago!


    @brown_note My team uses story points not so much for estimation but as metric for tracking. Jira does not like this.


    @brown_note The built-in reporting, I mean. So now I’m still exporting and reporting by hand.


    RT @wollombiwool: Wow! We had such fun @ knit camp. Thank you #knitcamp


    @brown_note Yes. We were using cards before quite happily, but after team discussion, thought Jira might make some things easier.


    @brown_note Wiser people chuckled ruefully at me. Now I know why.


    @mikeefreedom More or less. Examples: https://t.co/Ks1qnwebJ4 https://t.co/FS1JAi4jnx https://t.co/RlJhmBtk1c


    @neil_killick Effort, basically.


    @neil_killick Not sure the background. I inherited a team already working this way; didn’t want to change everything at once!


    RT @ElizaBayne: Big deal, iPhone 5s. Android also has a security feature that prevents theft. It’s called: Being an Android Phone
