    Desperate search for geniuses goes to ends of the Earth – Atlassian really care about hiring the best staff, don’t they? *crosses fingers*

    @randomknits @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes If you’ve got time, I recommend these: http://t.co/SdBKOVRBBz. The ones with Sean Connery are THE BEST


    @catehstn I’m in Chippendale, and hey, I’ve got lots of free time starting tomorrow. 🙂

    RT @entylawyer: Cat shaming. Just when you thought the pet shaming fad was over it keeps getting better. http://t.co/5Aryc9dvqB


    @Rellarc79 I do believe that @mrs_sockvictim can answer that, as she was the designer for the show. 🙂


    @knitdra Yay, congrats! WELCOME TO THE WORLD, SEVEN PARKER.


    It’s nearly 9am Monday morning. Are the gardeners here? If you can’t guess, you’re a fool. Of course not.


    @witty_knitter Well, I’d have thought today, but they’re not here. So obviously not today. 🙁


    @handmethepanda Oh, my 2 experiences with reno (plus countless series of Grand Designs) have taught me that project plans mean bupkis.


    @randomknits I do! At a library! I just have to say I like books, right? And I know lots of cool librarians! 😀


    @randomknits More importantly: what does one wear to an interview at a library? MY WARDROBE DOESN’T HAVE NEARLY ENOUGH LIBERTY PRINT IN IT.

    I’m sure Linux folks are rolling their eyes but I am freaking loving my Ubuntu system. Figured out messaging tray, workspaces, shortcuts etc

    My birthday present was a clock! I think it really ties the room together. #hipster http://t.co/0l6XGIwAtN


    @mrs_sockvictim Haha, bit early in the day, Miss Fee! (But maybe not for us Ladies of Leisure…)


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits I thought I was prepared for the horror. I was not.


    I blogged my three Easter Show entries this year, including the QR Code Mittens: http://t.co/mruiXtg1vS


    @toastman The sandwiches were very good, but very expensive.


    @RoseRed_Shoes The case seems to reserved for Things That Take a Really Long Time. I can’t imagine dedicating that much effort to lace.


    @RoseRed_Shoes The percentage of Time Spent Not Knitting Red Lace Thing was very, very high. I hated that damn thing.


    More blogging! What, WHAT?! I KNOW! I realised I’d never documented sewing the Hobbes toy: http://t.co/caW6tyqYUg


    @mudsurfer I included a rather lengthy tag explaining! My friend was there as apprentice judge/observer, so I figured she could help too. 🙂


    My cousin shared a religious-themed photo of the g’pa from Duck Dynasty on FB. And I swear, my first guess was that it was Aeron Damphair.


    Asha Greyjoy’s Inbox. Bahahahahahaha! http://t.co/ZI8PVWDDAl http://t.co/msQ52lUsxF (cc @drkknits)


    RT @Grantland33: Will Matt Lauer be Alex Trebek’s successor? by @joereid http://t.co/2gvbwNSEhO // I’d torrent Anderson Cooper, FWIW.


    Things you don’t want to hear when *someone* is putting a new hard drive in your computer: “Well, THAT didn’t do what I expected.”


    @catehstn Shit. That really sucks. Can I help? Where do you live? I could use a walking buddy. Injury has made me way too sedentary.


    @drkknits Ooh, this is pretty good too! http://t.co/X9ojYqmKsP Love the foreshadowing at the very very end…


    @drkknits I’ve heard of them! Connected to Dave Eggers and McSweeneys, I believe. http://t.co/IVd81SEcNz


    @knitdra @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits @smark31 WHOA, I TOTALLY MISSED THIS! GO AL! GO! COME ON, SEVEN!


    @drkknits WHO IS WHISTLER.


    @drkknits I fucking love Jeopardy. There’s a rumour going that Anderson Cooper may replace Alek when he retires in a few years.

    The judging is over, so I can reveal the three items I entered into the Easter Show this year. (No official results til Tuesday night!)


    I’m 36 and I’ve lived overseas for a third of my life, but it still weirds me out every time I shuck corn NOT on my Mom’s back porch on a summer night into a brown paper bag.
