@randomknits Have you ever heard of “It Stays” body adhesive? Apparently dancers use it to keep socks up? Never seen it on Oz.

---

@randomknits Cool, thanks. (I WILL CONQUER NO SHOW SOCKS THIS SUMMER, I SWEAR TO GOD.)

---

@gilmae @randomknits Women’s fashion sometimes requires you to look like you’re not wearing socks. But not wearing socks is gross.

---

@gilmae @randomknits So they make special sock-ette things that don’t show. But they also have a tendency to get eaten by your shoes.

---

Wow. Lots of @SydneyGA folks here at #sydjs tonight!

---

TIL: my coworker actually takes notes during #sydjs. I am all astonishment.

---

+10 points for the 1337 reference. #sydjs

Okay, so I was ironically cheering for #lawsonbbau the magician before, but now it’s real. GO THE SENSITIVE SMART MAGICIAN WITH BICEPS.

@webdirections @johnallsopp Turns out we have well more than 5 Mi9ers going this year! Is the team option still available retroactively? 🙂

---

@johnallsopp @webdirections Woooo! I’ll email you with a list of the names. 🙂

---

@webdirections Email sent. Any excuse to get @johnallsopp to come visit the office! 🙂

---

@maxine Hey, thanking about WebDirections code next year. Do you guys accept speaker submissions or just privately line up people?

---

@maxine Cool! I’ll keep it in mind. Let me know when you put the call for proposals. 🙂

---

RT @KateHeppell: If Scotland becomes independent, what happens to Hogwarts? WHY IS NOBODY ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS?

---

@pyko @WWCSyd Just saw laser cut code event! What level of programming exp is required/assumed?

---

@WWCSyd SWEET! I’m there. 🙂

---

RT @kidnoble: Unbelievably accurate. https://t.co/Y4wch1DRhS

---

@drkknits I get your point, but to this day, I think of myself as a girl. So I rarely take offense at such things.

---

@Gidgetknits @drkknits Possibly an American thing, but I’d go with “guys” as counterpart.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter We’ve had some debate at @GGDSydney over whether “Girl” in name puts some people off. (While others hate “Geek.”)

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter And oddly, I get very sensitive over need to be Ms. rather than Miss or Missus. Maybe I’m just weird.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter I agree with you in university context. I would find that patronising. No arguments there.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter “Women” just seems terribly grown up and sophisticated to me in a way I don’t identify with.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter Incidentally, was reading article this morning on death of “adult/grown up” in culture.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter Ah, but problem there isn’t the word Girls. “Women do science SQUEEE!” is just as gross and barfy.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter Ha! Well, if talking about brassieres and other mature things, women def seems warranted.

---

@drkknits @drwitty_knitter Boys + anything vaguely sex-related would have been more problematic I guess.

---

@KylieSaunder Excellent! That’s two of us spearheading the movement. 🙂

---

Finally caught my first Opal-enabled bus to work! (Most of the Broadway buses still don’t have it.) @TheOpalUser

---

One problem: without a stamped ticket, I can’t check what bus I’m on! Sometimes I forget, and some stop different places. @TheOpalUser
