    Tonight’s packing unearthed another old photo, this one from that brief time when my boyfriend was a tiny blond vampire. 🧛❤️

    @agentK Haha, that’s what we heard! Our FKK experience to date is posing in a Spencer Tunick photo with thousands of people at the Sydney Opera House several years ago. 😂

    @AndrewADavidson That’s exactly what we used so I could tweet!

    My first published work fits in a tweet! 😂

    WHAT I LIKE TO PLAY. I like to play school. I want to be a teacher. I like to play house, too. It is fun to play house in your bedroom. When I grow up I want to be a teacher. And I want to be in the Olympics. https://t.co/b3BVik7tGW

    @shermozle This is fascinating, Simon! Well done.

    “It’s an Allan Border ‘Butter ’em up’ card! It came out of a packet of butter. I wonder what it’s worth these days on Ebay??”

    (The answer is 72 cents.) https://t.co/vQKwRHdWYW

    A giant stack of tea cards were also located. However, correction, half of them were actually from Weetbix packets. https://t.co/aVHlUHU5BC

    DAMN IT. With less than three weeks to departure, Australia has appeared on Germany’s list of High Risk Countries. Currently limited to just Victoria, but if NSW follows, we will have to quarantine when we get there. MASK UP NSW, COME ON. 😷 https://t.co/wN6OcLKlxN

    @DivZero_ Nah, when they opened the borders in June Australia wasn’t on the naughty list. 🙁

    HOLY SHIT. I feel like I’ve seen a ghost. My old 2001 iBook actually boots up! Had to use Rodd’s password as I’ve forgotten mine. 😂 Look at all those ports! Only website it’ll actually open is Google. (SSL certs break on every other site.) https://t.co/kvN0ETV0IN

    @mattallen Various income tax stuff from 2005.

    The wi-fi is called Airport, and it can’t actually connect to our network. We had to plug in an Ethernet cable.

    RT @martijnfrazer: @web_goddess A more civilised computer from a more civilised time

    I’m tweeting from the past you guys!

    Proof. Every page took like a full minute to load. That was painful! https://t.co/2B8Nbl56PJ

    @hannahcancode @DrJosh9000 You reckon he wants this one? It’s not in great shape, but it still works!

    @hannahcancode @DrJosh9000 We’re gonna wipe it and dump it in e-waste if no one wants it!

    @hannahcancode @DrJosh9000 Hilariously, I think I’ve talked @gilmae into taking it. (Much to @randomknits’ annoyance)

    Don’t mind me, just finishing a hand I started in 2004. https://t.co/ezYDbVFnPW

    Wow. A blast from the Dark Ages of the @KnitGuildNSW, back when I took over as webmaster! https://t.co/IdIM1zHxz3

    And you can bet your ass when you rollover those buttons on the left, they animate. 💅

    And the absolute best thing on the whole machine (besides its embarrassment of ports and the amazing clickiness of the keyboard)… https://t.co/K0s3w5A6LB

    If you played this game, you know EXACTLY what sounds we’re hearing RIGHT NOW. 😂

    Me: The way this thing smells! It smells just like it used to! I’d know that smell anywhere!
    Rodd: Is it the computer, or is it “you in 2005”? 😂

    RT @jenistyping: “Why did you leave your last startup?”

    I recently saw some folks saying that they really struggle to answer this question…

    @steven_bryen I probably got the idea from a Webmonkey article. 😂 (FTR, I inherited that design. It didn’t take me long to completely redevelop it and get an actual designer to make it look presentable!)

    Rodd discovered months ago that nudism in Germany is called “Freikörperkultur” (free body culture), and as he thinks German compound words are hilarious, we say it all the time. A German friend then told us they abbreviate to FKK (“eff-kah-kah”), which is even funnier. 😂 https://t.co/2qfYlaBIrn

    It’s now our default inside joke about our future lives in Germany. “How many big winter coats do you think we’ll need? “EFF KAH KAH, KRISTY.” 😂

    @julielerman Such a lovely idea, Julie! ❤️

    @madradish Yeah, the knitters have been losing this battle too. *glares at @parisba and @desplesda and @YarnSpinnerTool and @thesecretlab* 🧶❤️

    I am too old and too grumpy to enjoy a reply-all email storm. #bahhumbug

    @battlepanda_au Must’ve missed the announcement. 😉 https://t.co/GYhjWyA13m

    @itgrrl Must’ve missed the announcement. 😉 https://t.co/GYhjWyA13m

    @hannahyanfield Yeah, we were hoping for air freight after going through that when we moved here too.

    @frankarr Australia thankfully still not on risk list. *knock on wood *

    Me: Wait, what? Why do you have three stamp albums?
    Him: The box is full of stamps too!
    Me: WHAT?
    Him: See? I had 160 of them in 1980. I was only four years old!

    What. Is. Happening. 🤯 https://t.co/vWtQnKbif3

    It appears I am married to a philatelist. 😳

    “Some of these countries don’t exist anymore!”

    “Look! Apartheid stamps!” 😳

    Royal family stamps. https://t.co/PW9gpvr2rW

    Dude. Bhutan had LENTICULAR stamps. https://t.co/AorGq2gJeu

    Him: Did little children in America not collect stamps?
    Me: No! Only in storybooks! From the 1950s!
    Him: You didn’t go to the shop and buy a big bag of stamps and soak them off and dry them and put them in albums?
    Me: NO. https://t.co/KZB91QTNxJ

    “This is the tool you use to measure the perforations.”

    😳😳😳

    Him: “What, you thought you were the nerd in this relationship? With your speech team and your spelling bees?”
    Me: “Well, clearly I’m the cool one.”
    Him: “How many cool people were there at the spelling bee?”

    😂🤓😅

    Me, just now: So apparently all the Australian children collected stamps. You aren’t a giant nerd. Or else ALL the Australians I know are giant nerds. 🤔
    Him: We only had two television stations, you know…

    @emd3737 “Yet again confirmation,” he says, “that Boston is the NORMAL part of America. They speak properly… collect stamps…”

    @melissa_loh FFS. Glad you took action. What a jerk. Hope you’re okay.

    @shermozle I knooooowwww… Unfortunately, as an expat this is my main conduit to my family back in the US.

    The flights are booked, work visas are in hand, and the Aussie government’s approved our application to travel. If you haven’t already heard, The Snook and I are moving to Munich! Three weeks from today. 😳✈️ Still so much to do to get ready…

    Unfortunately Covid rules out in-person goodbyes, but hey, I haven’t seen most of you in person in five months. (And we *really* don’t want to get sick right before we travel.) But we’ll be on the Internet as always, and we hope to get back to Sydney for a visit next year. ❤️

    @fink_jess It got cancelled months ago, sadly. 🙁

    @itsoneguy Exactly!!

    @MelissaKaulfuss Haha, thanks! We visited last year and decided in Jan that we wanted to go for it. It’s been a stressful 8 months getting all the dominoes to line up, but we’re almost there… (Hence all the Germany studying!)

    @MelissaKaulfuss I know. I’ve been reading the news every day with anxiety. So worried that NSW will go that route. Partly selfish – it’ll wreck our plans – but also out of fear for you and us and everybody else. ❤️

    @steve_evil Definitely!! 🍻

    @fink_jess Yeah, the prospect of starting a DevRel role when there are no in-person events is kind of daunting… 🙁

    @MelissaKaulfuss We’re both transferring with current employers, who have big offices there. That’s taken care of most of the logistics, tbh.

    @heathergracious Thanks! We visited last year and fell in love with it too. 🙂

    @savgoust Neck and leg break? 😂 Still so many new expressions to learn…

    @JustinRThiessen Thanks for the tip! We saw it when we visited last year but didn’t have time to explore. Definitely will as soon as we can!

    @bec_h2o @NeringaYoung @maryamumar @BuildStuffConf Thanks Rebecca. ❤️

    RT @TheMERL: Right now, a lot of folks are talking about cottagecore, an aesthetic category romanticising the rural idyll.

    This is (almost…

    @stringy The urge to travel abroad was the driver, tbh. We’ve both got transfers within our companies. I’m taking new role within AWS DevRel team over there. 😀

    @georgiecel Awww, thank you Georgie. ❤️

    TFW you’ve sold the keg, realised it’s not empty, and then realised you buried it under a houseload of crap. It’s time for a round of Beer Sokoban! 😆🍺 https://t.co/Ob0mvgoSfo

    @spidie Thanks Steve. ❤️

    @nabiac85 @angular Yeah. Googlers, man.

    @bemaia Yay! Absolutely – would love to meet up!!

    I still got it. 😎

    We’ve managed to clear the offices ahead of carpet replacement tomorrow. The Snook is in his happy hoarding place. I feel distressed. Halp. https://t.co/ZztW1D0ext

    More decluttering. Any Sydney folks interested in the Ultimate Home Isolation Fun Kit, aka our Wii setup? Includes 13 games, guitars and microphone for Guitar Hero rocking out, as well as Wii Fit board for indoor exercise. 🎸🎤😅 https://t.co/RHMSnbWApy https://t.co/RWombAAnKB

    @AndyPalmer @RoaldDahlFans Apparently we do, but I don’t think there’s any value in it (if it can even be read). Nobody cares about my turn-of-the-millennium hand-crafted artisanal HTML but me, and even I can’t be arsed. 😂

    Folks who (used to) travel a lot – if you were travelling to Europe from Sydney, which option is better? Qatar Airways through Doha, or Etihad through Abu Dhabi?

    @andre_verheij Unfortunately no direct connections from Singapore to where we’re going, so it’s out.

    @charrett @andre_verheij Yep… actually we’re moving! To Europe!! 😳

    @hannahcancode Good call.

    @andre_verheij @charrett We started this process way back at the start of the year, not realising what was going to happen. Both my husband and I are transferring within our companies, so thankfully minimal risk for employment.

    @andre_verheij @charrett https://t.co/4zUPvQUNlH – and always happy to put in a referral 😜

    @annakelk Thanks Anna! ❤️

    The Snook and I made a “Meat Head” for Halloween 2011. It was amazing, if I do say so myself. ☠️ https://t.co/EUIxLmF90Q https://t.co/TGr4eCiwlp

    @gojkoadzic Thanks Gojko. We’re going cattle class – masked up and sanitised – so I think service is going to be minimal anyway. 😂

    @Amys_Kapers @charrett @andre_verheij I’ve been waiting to make the big public announcement until we had work visas, travel approval from government, and airplane tickets in hand. But… could have that as soon as tomorrow! 😳

    @developerjack WAY TO GO! 👏

    @developerjack Let me tell you the story of how I thought I had my student loans paid off ten years ago, until I needed to get a copy of my diploma recently, and then found out that that was not 100% true. 😩
