    What passes for romantic talk at my house on a Sunday morning: “Hey honey, what’s the best tool for me to create a database diagram?”


    @kattjera Second cleaning went really great! Very happy. We’re going to stay with @TidyMeAus. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @tinypang That’s what he recommended. I’m messing around with MySQL Workbench.


    @tinypang Ooh, very cool! I’m just wanting to make a very simple high-level diagram for a site I’m rebuilding.


    In case you’re wondering, I’m using MySQL Workbench to try and wrangle http://t.co/wPCtzMM3Ls into a coherent data model. It’s not working.


    @randomknits Wow, you got her wearing a leash! Never been able to get either of ours in one.


    @gilmae Thanks. This is a long term project – I’m just getting started. Rodd is suggesting Django for the build. Ever used it?


    @gilmae Migration would be a headache. Existing site is a mess of some DB-driven components in the midst of 15 years of hard-coded HTML


    @gilmae OH, ha! Nah, I didn’t bother installing.


    @randomknits Nice! I’ve just laundered the fabric for my Lark. How did you find the pattern?

    @sarah_liu @leadingatwork Thank you, especially for the opportunity! Intimidating to share the stage with such awesome fellow speakers.

    @sublimefinds Thank you for the tweets! Glad you liked it. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @sallyrhill @TimMahlberg @MelanieCanva Nope. More like just contact point for it. Talk to me at lunch and I’ll give more detail.


    Gajah. Was so keyed up for my #TDCCareerSummit talk I messed up my knitting pattern. Time to unpick 2 rows!

    @sallyrhill @TimMahlberg I didn’t get to find you guys again! But basically, as we scale we’ve found it’s good to have someone who is the


    @sallyrhill @TimMahlberg point of contact for each project. Just so that we don’t have to have everybody in every meeting to coordinate.


    @AshleeMcCusker @stephenlead I’m sure he improved upon it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    At a meeting yesterday: “Did you change your hair? It’s black in your Gmail pic.” Me: “Oh, sorry. That’s a Wonder Woman wig.” #totesprofesh


    @DendySydney I love you guys, but this is the third time I’ve unsubbed from your newsletter and I keep getting emails!

    @sundress @i386 @MarcinS The secret is that people who drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes don’t actually like coffee. They like sugary milk.


    @sundress @i386 @MarcinS They’d barf if they tried the ones we had at @samplecoffeebar, which were made with actual good coffee.


    RT @poppiepack: Pretty pumped to say I’m speaking at @ignitesydney #excited #lifeinanook https://t.co/ULgbsH66nt


    @ignitesydney @stephenlead I’m buying ten tickets on behalf of Canva. Can I just put my name on all of them and work it out later?


    The single oddest LinkedIn connection request I’ve ever gotten: https://t.co/LoiByaRR7p. What do you reckon? Setup for a 419 scam?


    @sammy_lee12 That sucks. I hope you’re doing okay. FWIW, I’m 38 and nowhere near that user profile either! That person is a MYTH. ๐Ÿ˜›


    @gilmae @randomknits @emilyscarlett93 224. But more importantly – how many Harley pics?


    Pounding a coffee and getting ready to leave for #TDCCareerSummit. Nervous for my talk, but really excited to meet everyone too!


    @NicoleWill100 Thanks! Just did last minute edit to tone down anti-corp rhetoric as realised other speakers are from some Big Companies. ๐Ÿ˜‰
