    Team lunch to celebrate my work anniversary! (@ Sailors Thai) http://t.co/Ja12MCGT


    Shite! It’s Robbie Burns Night and we totally forgot. It would’ve been awesome to eat a haggis and cheer on Andy Murray to victory!


    Forecast on Monday is scattered showers. Nice. That’s going to work greeeeeat with the barbecue I’m hosting.


    RT @the_snook: I think these guys (http://t.co/S5FohxES) just made it to Sydney. http://t.co/TtXgkVS3


    Spotted a big ol’ lizard (bluetongue?) sunning himself by Chinese Garden! (@ Tumbalong Park) [pic]: http://t.co/fBZo5atH


    @zephyrama Actually @the_snook reckons it’s a water dragon.


    @toastman I couldn’t get any closer. HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME!


    @toastman I actually did know that. The tourists had him spooked though, so I only had a second before he darted off.


    @toastman That’s what most of my own tweets sound like in my head, actually. 🙂


    Let’s go, Murray!


    @drkknits You literally made me start salivating.


    @mrs_sockvictim I know. Wish I could run! Best of luck…


    @mrs_sockvictim I just woke up. 🙂


    @mrs_sockvictim You too! See you Monday…

    RT @TheNextWeb: How Catmoji got 7,000 users to share 21,000 cat video and pictures in one month http://t.co/0TivgLRw | Hahaha, I joined!


    @imdominating I like the bottom ones.


    @moneywell Does new app only sync with 2.1? I can’t get it to work; keeps saying there’s no sync file (even though old app syncs fine).


    @MoneyWell Ah, that’ll explain it then. Okay, will stick with the old one!


    @MoneyWell Will do. In the meantime, you might consider mentioning that on the site, as it’s not clear you must have latest desktop version.

    @drkknits @gilmae I’ve never bothered. Nobody at work uses them and we’re all on Macs. I’ve never had a virus. *knock on wood*


    @drkknits @gilmae No idea. I think if you buy through Apple Store, you can claim ed discount online.


    @witty_knitter @randomknits Wait, what? I’ve used my ANZ card in the US to get cash, no problems.


    @randomknits @witty_knitter Oh, yeah. We just make sure we get out decent amount each time to minimise the fees. I hate traveler’s cheques.


    @drkknits Mine is my email address.


    @drkknits @randomknits @gilmae Oh right. Well, I think I’ve got a USB cd/dvd drive you can borrow if required. I never use it.


    Pre-meeting caffeination. (@ Pompidou) http://t.co/faYfQ4iU


    @drkknits @knitterjp I agree, but sucky thing is that studies show women who ask are seen negatively. Bitchy and aggressive. We can’t win!


    Meetings at Luna Park do have their unique charm! (@ Luna Park w/ @adrianbritton) [pic]: http://t.co/bN4ZNxB8


    @RoseRed_Shoes It was rampant in the office this afternoon. I started giving middle finger in response. 🙂


    Made-Up Kris is still dubious about this whole “performing femininity” thing. #youaskedforit http://t.co/qSYkbgNR


    @drkknits Jealous! Feel free to send through anymore questions.


    @drkknits Heh. I always turn the backlit off because it annoys me. It’s very tomorrow though!


    @twelveeyes I didn’t do much. It’s just weird that so many people commented on it.


    Context for that selfie: several people said today that I looked nice. Not really sure what that means. Do I have to wear makeup every day?


    @twelveeyes Sorry, there was discussion on FB. I forgot to give context. Yeah, on makeup.


    @twelveeyes Yeah. I can’t figure out of they’re just being polite because I’ve made effort, or whether I should do this all the time.


    @twelveeyes Exactly!


    So I’ve been watching Dr Who, and mostly feeling like I don’t get it. But the damn show finally made me cry. I blame @imdominating .


    @drkknits @gilmae @randomknits Gimp? You need a Photoshop clone?


    @goshling @eileenDCoE The Snook is a mega fan. I prob know more of Docs 1-8 than most latter day fans. I just never had emotional connection


    @goshling @eileenDCoE But I just finished David Tennant’s first season. Damn that Billie Piper…


    @brockleyboyo Just working my way thru new series. The one where Billie Piper leaves and she cries on the beach in Norway.


    @brockleyboyo I know. I’ve seen several episodes from last 40yrs (Snook is a fan) but never cared for it. Just going thru new series now.


    This is why we’re not moving back to the Midwest anytime soon. Stay warm, @imdominating! http://t.co/aVODpoFR @wsjphotos


    RT @mumbrella: News Limited to switch on autoplay video from next week http://t.co/QEXrMrjs // Oh FFS time to install Adblock.


    @Alegrya That’s me and every new cable project. WHAT WILL IT DO NEXT? MUST KEEP KNITTING AND FIND OUT.


    @Alegrya I never use ’em. Google “cable without cable needle.” Life changing. 🙂


    @Alegrya I am the ultimate tight knitter, and I can still manage a 6 cross.

    Several people have told me I look nice today. I blow-dried my hair and put on eyeliner. (I’m teaching a training session this afternoon.) So I have to wonder – do I actually look objectively more attractive, or is it just that people can tell I put in some effort? I suspect it’s the latter, but I can’t figure out an experiment to test it without access to, like, some tribe of Amazonians who haven’t internalised Western beauty standards.
