    Anybody want to buy our coffee and end tables? http://t.co/KhKNqvUSnq


    @glasnt I bought mine from CX a couple months ago. They appear to have in stock now! http://t.co/vgIyrgTwOT


    This dining room is AMAZEBALLS. http://t.co/wOZZGfSEVO http://t.co/KGOSoqdH9D


    They brought him a birthday cupcake. 🙂 http://t.co/51Y864sYSD http://t.co/kgZOyDTbDU


    @Saibhai Yep. Like an Art Deco version of the Great Sept of Baelor from GoT. 🙂


    @Saibhai BTW – you and @the_snook managed to win tonight’s Munchkin!

    Second @canva for Work feature revealed! SO EXCITED FOR THIS LAUNCH. https://t.co/zTIAOrC8uf


    @gilmae Well, it’s gonna take me a non-trivial number of hours to import the old stuff over.


    @gilmae And my current blog CMS, remember, is PHP that I hacked together in 2001.


    @gilmae Every time he looks in the DB, the Snook cringes.


    @gilmae Oh, the fields and such are pretty normal. But I’ve got HTML and shit in there. I guess that shouldn’t matter.


    @venks79 Because I don’t want to do any upkeep or maintenance on it. I’d rather pay somebody else to do that part. 🙂


    @venks79 Does @BroadWebAU want to handle it for me? I’ll put your logo and link on it. 😀

    @venks79 Haha, I’ll knit you a jumper! ;-P


    @venks79 I’ll have a look at themes. Ideally something I can customise to look kind of like the old one.


    Watching video of myself at last @webdirections Respond conference and every “Um, so–” is a DAGGER TO MY HEART.

    @julliettajung @JSLouez It was last night! Sorry you missed it. It sold out within the first 24 hours.


    @lucykbain @Atlassian Yum! Don’t ruin your lunch. 🙂


    Just discovered blog has been hacked again. This close to giving up entirely and just having static HTML. I’m so over it.


    @pyko Have you used it? I am now super, super tempted.


    RT @cliffobrecht: This is going to be the best event in the history of events. https://t.co/ATbToB4Am3


    @pyko If you help me set up a Jekyll site, I’ll knit you something 😛


    Jeez. Listened to like 5 minutes of myself from #ggdsyd last night. Somebody ring a bell every time I say “Uh, so!” next time I present. 🙁


    @pyko That is a barter I am well prepared to make!


    @drkknits What does that mean?!


    Never thought I’d see the day where @nickyringland was sharing the stage with Kim Dotcom. *shaking my head*


    GRAR. @GoGet van wouldn’t let us in. Called support, switched to another van. Still no access. On the phone with support again. 🙁


    Aaaaand all @GoGet vans at Central Park have failed. Now we are rushing to Ultimo to try another one.

    Honestly, the Sydstart branding confounds me. That leering giant photo of Kim Dotcom with finger guns might as well say “NO GURLS ALLOWED”.

    National Sleepy Head Day – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – Thank goodness the Snook didn’t know about this, or I would’ve had a very damp morning!

    National Sleepy Head Day (Finnish: Unikeonpäivä) is celebrated in Finland on July 27 every year. Traditionally on this day, the last person in the house (also dubbed as the “laziest”) to wake up is woken up using water, either by being thrown into a lake or the sea, or by having water thrown on them.

    @imdominating So where are you moving? I’m out of the loop here.


    @developerjack @aimee_maree Awww, thanks. I promised to cook him pancakes though. I spend far too many nights as it is at tech events. 🙂


    @chiuki That is a GINORMOUS watch! That’s pretty much why I haven’t taken the plunge on a smart watch myself. I have small wrists too. 🙁


    @johnallsopp Looks correct to me. 48 Pirrama Road, right?


    @johnallsopp They’ve got 3 of ’em down there, but that one is officially the main one as far as I know.
