    Can you feel it in the air? #frocktober is coming! 👗❤️ @gertie18 https://t.co/NF3rKhJx18 https://t.co/fxfgx924OT


    @MsAmandaDean @georgiecel Exactly the same. Ms. I use it on every form. (I kept my name too.)


    Watching Australian rock music videos from the 80s on YouTube while sipping Negronis. What cute boys do I not know about? There’s only so many times one can watch “That Ain’t Bad” over and over…


    I used to be a productive person, and then the Snook sent me a link to this subreddit and now I’m just staring slack-jawed at videos of people cleaning their driveways. https://t.co/Lf5TpHsoVO

    Ooh, the next Software Art Thou is up! @simoncarryer is going to give his “Data is a Soft Science” talk. I saw this at #yowdata earlier in the year and it was excellent. Melburnians – you should go to this! https://t.co/ZL53anTv6m @yow_conf @Zendesk


    Just discovered that I’ve been added to @TalksAwesome! Lovely surprise. 😃 Thanks @JeffreyTheobald for the nomination… https://t.co/88xx1wioQ5


    @gilmae Haven’t tried them yet. Will give it a go.


    @RozenMD Not a customer though?


    @charis That’s my backup plan. 😂


    @amitchell01 Yeah, I figured I was being smart by avoiding the airport. 😂 Best laid plans…


    @KirrilyDavis There’s an idea….


    Kicking off tonight’s #sydtechleaders with a great crowd. Finally got @crankymate to one of these! @gilmae @johnallsopp @diversionary @darthted @SydTechLeaders https://t.co/UNbnLC7Ld7


    Plenty of @yow_conf events coming up in Sydney. They sponsored our awesome stickers! #sydtechleaders https://t.co/CqSxyvcLj0


    @crankymate That is the least enthusiastic selfie I’ve ever seen… 😂

    Who else debated the ethics of the gig economy when deciding how to get to the meetup tonight? #sydtechleaders

    @warkolm @SydTechLeaders It was around some of the complexity involved when your employer does business with groups who don’t share your values. If you work for yourself, you don’t have that particular problem.

    @zarahjutz @m_evans10 JOLLIBEEEEEEE! 🐝❤️


    I really want a Google setting that never, ever returns paywalled results. (Yes, The Australian, I’m talking about you.)


    @glenngillen I’m pretty sure I can individually blacklist them from my results in settings somewhere. It just annoys me that they’re at the top of the results list for everyone when IT’S NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION.


    On a related note, I wish tech companies giving a press release exclusive would make sure the publication they choose is actually, you know, readable to everyone online. 😉 https://t.co/i9H066dmIr


    TIL that https://t.co/oPoeaNYGiy successfully bypasses the paywall of certain online publications.

    @saberkite I have double regret because I didn’t know you when it existed, and seeing your shared items there would’ve been amazing. 😢

    @gilmae Wait. You give her your passwords?! This is a Rubicon we have not crossed.


    @gilmae I should clarify. ONE of us is happy to share passwords. And the other has neckbeardish tendencies that sometimes prevent this. @the_snook


    @thisismywww @gilmae It’s unusual.


    Doing a happy dance because @hannahyanfield taught me how to reply to FB Messenger messages on my iPhone without without having to install the evil app. 💃


    @randomknits YAY! That was my yesterday. Can’t wait to hear what you think.


    @bazscott @hannahyanfield @gumnutbaby1 Install the “Google” iOS app. Use it to get to Facebook and log in. You can get to the Messages tab just fine. I am boggled it works.


    ME: Check out this hat that I designed and knitted! It’s got a microcontroller and LEDs and conductive thread, and it blinks in a pattern I wrote!
    MAN: Did your husband help you with the code?

    @typesthings @msharp @iamnotyourbroom Unfortunately I’m booked the next 2 Thursdays. But don’t let that stop you!


    @msharp @typesthings @iamnotyourbroom Friday’s are good for me! And those places are both fine.


    TATBIL has legitimately made me wonder if I should try Yakult. 🤔


    @shinyUX Yup. And it was someone I used to work with. 😡

    Is this a thing that really needed to exist? https://t.co/wgBvgDS9mE


    @sebastiangrail Wow! I’ve never heard of it before. I like Coke with a slice of lemon, but I’ve never thought of putting orange with it.


    @starbuxman HA! Although given that it’s in Australia, I don’t think it’s complimentary if it is. 🙂


    @kcarruthers @annie_parker @aimee_maree @pipms @joannejacobs @ChiefDisrupter @MariaMacNamara1 @MingYLong Pardon the crudity, but having a Fuck Off Fund helps a lot. (Paying off my student loans was a really momentous day.) https://t.co/K9qk7Qu1Xh


    I agree in principle, but I still cringed when I heard an ABC newsreader say “nucular” this morning. https://t.co/82RRXCGaOb


    @FourRedShoes @britishlibrary I would like to preorder this NOW! 😃


    @iamnotyourbroom @typesthings @msharp Please count me in on anything like this too!


    @nickzoic Nah, been having a much needed break from tech events for the past few months!


    @typesthings @iamnotyourbroom @msharp I’m in Chippendale – cloistered city person, basically. 🙂


    Watching “To All The Boys I’ve Loved” and IT. IS. WONDERFUL. ❤️


    @LukeSleeman It’s smart, and funny, and well-made, and the main character is Asian American, and the boys are cute, and I genuinely don’t know how it will end. I also like how modern it is with the social media use. It’s a very good rom com so far!


    @lucykbain It’s delightful! I kept trying to make a P&P connection with younger sister Kitty and wondering who would be Wickham. 😂


    RT @zfedraws: me when im 30 with no kids

    The Snook: I text you on Hangouts all the time!
    Me: “Get coffee beans” IS HARDLY ROMANTIC.
    The Snook: WHEN I SAY “GET COFFEE BEANS” WHAT I’M REALLY SAYING IS “I LOVE YOU”. 😂❤️


    I pulled the lace apart (again) and reknitted it (again), because that one mistake was making me crazy. And if there are still errors, I’m going to set it on fire. 🔥 https://t.co/YW4TN1C8EA https://t.co/N0FkooWA3b

    I would tell you the number of times I’ve screwed up this stupid lace section, but it would just make @randomknits and @knitterjp laugh more. (READING PATTERNS IS HARD.) 😩


    @randomknits @knitterjp The Rav page mentions which chart is which. I finally nailed it on like my sixth try. ✊


    @randomknits @knitterjp OH FFS I MISSED A GODDAMN YARNOVER ON THE LAST ROW.


    @randomknits @knitterjp I’m leaving it.


    @randomknits @knitterjp I hate lace.


    After a day trying over and over to accurately knit an 18-row lace pattern into a parallelogram, this thread really resonates. Last weekend I spent coding. The coding was way easier. https://t.co/MbTMuStvWr


    Oh what a day! What a lovely day! (LACE VANQUISHED.) 💥🌈 https://t.co/uUM95Cz6DT https://t.co/5VRYJSDfMu
