    @virtualwolf Optometrists are sadistic.


    @cathjones0 Just optometrist making sure my stupid retinas aren’t detaching. All good. πŸ™‚

    Well done @lemon_lime! I’m thinking of entering my blinky beanie in the Easter Show. πŸ™‚ https://t.co/wnMjokZ87c


    @lemon_lime Oh you don’t even know. Apparently a bunch of them have seceded. That’s the only reason I’m entering – to troll. πŸ˜›


    Shhh! Nobody tell him about status bars and traffic crossings. https://t.co/IjvlUo0Mud

    @mitchelmore_j Where are you going? Do you have a job lined up? (I was there for 2 years in the original dotcom boom. Loved it.)


    RT @keisanpablo: 5 Australian startups to watch in 2016 (via @BIAUS) https://t.co/bLFYmF7eXH


    @mitchelmore_j I will direct that question to @maheshmurali πŸ˜‰

    I am the Marie Kondo of JIRA.


    @NicoleWill100 I have just ordered the Kondo book for me and @knitterjp. We are fascinated.


    @johnallsopp At least with “Frozen,” that guy turns out to be the baddie!


    This week has taught me that I could never live in the Pacific Northwest. (One more day of rain and I am going to LOSE IT.)


    @johnallsopp Ahhh, yeah. Thankfully haven’t seen any of those. On a happier note, saw first pics of young girls cosplaying as Rey yesterday!


    @johnallsopp That’s awesome! Tell her she did a great job!


    @slace I have big red gumboots from Bunnings which keep me dry but give me blisters. πŸ™

    Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. His performance is wasted on those movies, but still. https://t.co/UgYgz8w1OB


    TIL Crown Street Grocer in @surry_hills makes a bulletproof coffee. It ain’t cheap, but it’s good.


    @TheRealBnut Yep. Seriously, the duel between the Jedi and Darth Maul is amazing.


    @TheRealBnut I mean, not amazing enough to counteract all the other awfulness, but still.


    @chrisgander Where has that been suggested? Are you talking about the Dutton thing?


    @chrisgander True. I married a co-worker. But I didn’t ask him out on live TV and refer to him as “baby” in front of thousands of people.


    @chrisgander And context matters. She’s a woman in an industry with very few women, and things like that are why.


    @chrisgander Basically, I don’t think he showed her respect. If he really liked her, he could’ve asked her out off-camera.


    @chrisgander I still don’t think you can say that 100%. You can’t ask out someone who reports to you at work.


    @chrisgander I also think that if you want to ask out a co-worker, you don’t do it when they’re giving a big presentation.


    @chrisgander Preferably not in the office at all. I think you’re speaking from a position of male privilege a little bit, not understanding


    @chrisgander how women have to deal with this stuff all. the. time. Being in a pub or having drinks, sure. But doing your job is different.


    @chrisgander It’s a very easy thing to say when you’re in the gender that does 98% of the asking. The other side gets tired sometimes.


    @chrisgander But I’m not really arguing. I’m just overcaffeinated. πŸ™‚


    @TheRealBnut @tinypang WHAT IS THIS AND WHY WASN’T I A PART OF IT? (I’m always cold, and I sleep surrounded by three very warm mammals.)


    @TheRealBnut @tinypang I have a White Noise app on my iPhone and have worked out that – oddly and grossly enough – “Brown Noise” works best.


    @boundvariable Someone who works at Google once speculated to me that the point of self-driving cars is actually to stream more YouTube ads.


    On the upside, @the_snook said yest “Hey, that box of 50c stamps you’ve had forever are finally useful again!” https://t.co/sknvtK1DM3


    Sometimes I can’t believe I married such an introvert. You’re all so WEIRD!


    @Xavier_Ho He knows he’s weird. πŸ™‚


    @mobywhale @mitchelmore_j WHEN THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!


  • The Console Series

    Signalnoise :: The Work of James WhiteΒ – GASP. I want all of these on my walls. They’d go perfectly with our bookshelf Museum of Obsolete Technology.

    Hmm.

    Now I am envisioning a series of cross stitches with obsolete tech on them! All of these, plus an iPod and a Walkman and a Zip drive…

    @drkknits Sterling Archer would beg to differ.


    @drkknits https://t.co/ma4B67IAuF (I finally got into Archer. It helps that I realised it’s mostly the Arrested Development cast.)


    @drkknits @kunaal84 has been telling me to watch it for years. Lucille, Kitty, and George are all in it so far!

    @busbub @developerjack No, no, Mitch… Do not stare into the abyss. Back away slowly.
