    *deep breath* I just deleted Twenty from my phone. It was the most addictive game I’ve ever played. I miss it already.


    Anybody have a house cleaner they recommend for the CBD or Inner West? Must be able to deal with silly cats.


    My dessert was kinda fancy.

    @stringy Pristine white Converse I bought specially for the occasion! ❤️

    @Direwolf82 @lynnlangit @lindamciver Interesting. The ensuing Metafilter discussion was way more negative than I expected. Lots of Scratch apologists… https://t.co/UUSCj26jFN


    RT @3kwa: Pretty pumped about @YOWLambdaJam starting tomorrow and spending a day with @yminsky to get acquainted with OCAML.


    @melissa_loh Ha, did you go back there? Or was it from last weekend?


    @melissa_loh Oh crap.

    Oh neat! New (to me) programming language aimed at kids: https://t.co/cDLoqCO86J. Part of movement to provide CS access to all, including disabled kids. “Evidence-oriented programming.” https://t.co/md43mnqBBs ( @lynnlangit @lindamciver )


    Any of my Sydney friends doing distance running? I have a Nike water belt and several of the little bottles that fit it. Happy to go to a good home!


    @Malarkey @lottejackson I would be very happy to bequeath them! I pretty much Batmanned the belt into the ultimate distance running utility kit. 🙂


    @Malarkey @lottejackson …except somebody on FB just said they’ll take them. Sorry!

    @JennaGuillaume Which one will insult my intelligence the least? I’ve been jumping between Nine and Seven.


    @JennaGuillaume Trying it out. I like when they trot out some batty Pom to give context, like an American explaining the SuperBowl. 😂


    Biggest social event of the century… and they have to sit on folding chairs?! 😂


    @mattdelves https://t.co/RSZrqpav2g


    Switched back to the ABC to see them doing a segment on Henry VIII. WHY. Stop with the historical context. I just want to see fashion and hats.


    Commentator just asked if it was unusual she’s wearing a veil “because she’s a feminist,” and I confess I yelled “F*CK YOU” at the TV.


    Debating which cocktail would be suitably British for the ceremony. We didn’t plan this well. “Gin? Gin.” That’ll do. 🍸


    THIS feminist got walked down the aisle by Elvis. And I am very happy with my life choices. 👰 https://t.co/QCHyehdyIG


    @Kat13v No, it was a dude on 7 I think… (I’ve been jumping around.)


    @mootpointer Trying it out on your recommendation…

    The gin has gone. Have moved on to the cask port. Because I’m classy.


    @Alegrya @nathanieloffer Pretty sure I heard them called by their full names first… and then their nicknames after.


    Okay, who’s crying again?


    Me: “Twitter has a conspiracy theory that this isn’t the real wedding because he keeps saying ‘Harry’.”

    The Snook: “What’s his real name? Harold?”

    Swear to god. 😂


    @Mandy_Kerr Totes on board.


    Oh right. This is the part where, every time I see someone play a cello, I wish I played the cello.


    Most of the fun of this for me has been the Snook only marginally paying attention while he clicks away in Azeroth in the background. “Whoa, are they playing Luke Skywalker’s theme??” 😂


    SIX. #idie https://t.co/Y3rFpIxuzN


    @mattallen Doesn’t it though?


    RT @chicagotribune: Northwestern graduate marrying British guy rn https://t.co/50UphKcJ2W https://t.co/WjRcYL3oxc


    @simonraikallen Rodd said the same thing! 😂


    Uh, did the SBS commentator just call her “Princess Harry”?!


    @Mandy_Kerr @Malarkey That appears to be Aurora’s crown. Am I correct?


    The SBS commentator just said “Queen Victoria’s bush,” and SOMEBODY in this house is pissing themself laughing.


    @codepo8 @Malarkey @Mandy_Kerr I don’t have any crowns in the house. I only have a fez.


    @Malarkey @codepo8 @Mandy_Kerr Does one wear the tassle on the left or the right? https://t.co/nPWdksFvaM


    @brockleyboyo Damn. I don’t think we have any Lillet…


    @brockleyboyo *I* know his real name. Everybody knows his real name. Except Rodd, evidently. 😂


    @minxdragon @scalzi Nope? Had that one bookmarked for ages!

    @gilmae @KnitYak Ooh, nice!!


    Hey dudes. Doxxing a trans woman to the organisers of a women in tech event is not helpful or appreciated. We see what you’re doing, and we don’t support it. We support her.


    It’s also worth noting that we don’t hold all women hackathons because we think that’s the only way women can win these things. Programming is not the Olympics. We do it because we want to learn from and support other women in the industry.


    Faux concern that other participants will be upset when they inevitably lose to a trans woman is missing the point by, like, a hundred million miles. So please don’t go there.</rant>


    Hey look! My wonderful @zendesk friends have launched a website for their excellent Software Art Thou speaker series in Melbourne, and they’ve got a cracker of a talk lined up for June! https://t.co/EkSYIKHHwt https://t.co/fhMjtjiOT1


    @Zendesk And here’s the registration link for that event! https://t.co/YLyebweEFm


    @diversionary Get back to me when the Brits/Aussies have done something about “orientate”. *glares*


    Fantastic crowd for @SydTechLeaders tonight at @prospa! #sydtechleaders https://t.co/vkD6ZgNnkf


    @owensenior @darthted @SydTechLeaders What. Am. I. Doing.


    First speaker is @MichaelTozer from the recent ABC program “Employable Me”. Sobering stat – those on autism spectrum are 12x less likely to find employment. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/eb54n9k36L


    Distracted from excellent #sydtechleaders speakers by the FLOOFY DOG! 🐶 https://t.co/XUIPzIAwEX


    . @MichaelTozer got the idea for his company from a UK program about a tech company that hired an autistic young man as a tester. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/Dy5gGUkwMl

    There are 200K ppl with autism in Australia. If you think @MichaelTozer can help your company, please reach out. Help him change the world. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/bqHDSPBTsq


    Next up is @cathjones0 from Rhombico – a knitter, yayyyyyy! #sydtechleaders https://t.co/dRquKOVGmj


    RT @SydTechLeaders: Neurodiversity means more than just autism – different folks have different strengths. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/Xyt…


    An endorsement from @sezshares for @knitterjp and her values exercise. It’s a good thing to check in with your values every few years, but the top ones usually don’t change. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/h30Eu9Om7T


    Final speaker is @annakelk from @seekjobs telling us about her recent project around neurodiversity at their 10th Hackathon. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/Lm765dqrN0


    @darthted I remember that talk! 😉


    . @seekjobs are in a unique position due to scale and values-driven culture to try to better support neurodiverse candidates. @annakelk #sydtechleaders https://t.co/UhjySulNaE

    @annie_parker His name was Carlos, and apparently he’s the Chief Happiness Dog at @HowToProspa!!


    @zoeydoesnttweet The telling thing was that, despite claiming support for his friend, he never used “she.” It gave us all a very bad vibe. 😕


    Funniest part of @SydTechLeaders was when @gilmae though he spotted @the_snook but then realised it was actually @diversionary.
