    I made a Fruit Turkey for Guild today. It came out AWESOME.


    A plucked Fruit Turkey. They ate every bit! @drkknits even ate his beak!

    View from the 6th floor garden deck. Nice. #exploring @ Commonwealth Bank Place http://t.co/Wy35TZsuto


    And now the reverse. Looking up towards the city. @ Tumbalong Park http://t.co/Qs97JSjVpx


    @imdominating Nah. I’m a fan, but $100? Yowza.


    @knitdra I didn’t notice herbs! Does South have same garden as North?


    @eobeara Most days I’m at our other offices at Olympic Park. The city visits sure are nice though!


    @drkknits I didn’t do anything. SLACKERS CLUB.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Note to self: don’t take any cash to Guild tomorrow. Safer that way!


    Hell Week is OVAH! New job, IIBA class, Scrum AU, BA meet up, and physio all done. Now I just have to deal with everything I neglected.

    My week has basically been following @brown_note around. (@ Planit Test Management) http://t.co/yjTg6mxkT9


    Waiting to absorb some Agile brilliance from @brown_note, @AgileRenee, and @littlehelper! #meetup


    @knitterjp @brown_note Ha, yeah. I’m a sucker for anything involving audience participation.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I WAS AVOIDING THE FEET. GAHHH.


    I’ve decided what I’m making for Guild morning tea on Saturday. It combines daggy retro ness with arts & crafts. SO MUCH WIN.


    RT @BuzzFeed: “Arrested Development” vintage album covers. Awesome. http://t.co/YQOZVI8Yhk // Call Me Maybe, Maeby. HA!


    Wasn’t sure about casual Friday, so I played it safe and wore dress. I’m fine! Lots of people wearing jeans. PHEW.


    Benefits of working in Darling Harbour office: 20min commute, door to door. I like that.


    @sebr So everybody wears black flip-flops, presumably? 😛

    Heh. Salesman sells job at pub and brings in napkin with cost, scope, and deadline? Yep. Been there, pretty much. #auscrum


    Fixed date, fixed price projects put you in adversarial relationship with client from day 1. Again – AGREEING ALL OVER THE PLACE. #auscrum


    Productivity vs. number of projects. This graph reminds me strongly of @kunaal84. #auscrum http://t.co/MHlNhrvA86


    RT @brown_note: Great, and comprehensive talk by @krubinagile at #auscrum // Agreed!


    Interesting that @ilagile suggests agile should value attitude over aptitude. Pretty sure that’s why CommBank hired me. Happy! #auscrum


    Ha. “Rockstar” developer who is more like a Dementor from Harry Potter? Yeah. Still recovering from that, years later. #auscrum


    RT @lynnecazaly: My fast n furious visual notes from @krubinagile #auscrum presentation Economically Sensible Scrum http://t.co/g4HbHQm6gr


    RT @bartmasters: Good point from @ilagile “don’t tell someone they’re wrong. They will stop sharing ideas, even the excellent ones.” #au …


    Having an argument with Seb from @atlassian on the virtue of BA’s. Typical engineer! 🙂 #auscrum


    RT @msmorrisk: Management 3.0 Meddlers fun at #auscrum http://t.co/mN8vUR1Syb


    The perils of trying to be paleo at a conference! Fled carby lunch at #auscrum in favour of cafe.


    Just met @mrembach before his talk starts. Interested to hear how Transport for NSW uses scrum… #auscrum


    Collective gasp as @mrembach mentions secret Transport NSW functionality that allows bus driver to change red lights to green! #auscrum


    Ha. QA’s goal (in traditional non-agile) is “to break the will of the developer.” Heehee! Right, @rajsingh2505? #auscrum


    Uh oh! @mrembach mentioned #NoEstimates! If he says it two more times, @neil_killick magically appears. #auscrum


    “Deploying is risky. The best way to lessen risk is do it over and over and over to get good at it.” #continuousdelivery @auscrum


    @KurtSolarte @mrembach @neil_killick He said it again! DRINK!


    RT @rbanks54: Great war stories session by @mrembach #auscrum // Agreed. Great talk – very engaging and useful info!


    @mrembach If you hadn’t said you were nervous, I never would have guessed! Totally smashed it. 🙂


    @AgileRenee @neil_killick We’re making a drinking game out of it. 🙂 cc @KurtSolarte #auscrum


    @The_Ausmerican I’m pretty sure they’re a different cut. I prefer the girl style – less boxy and fit boobs better.


    @The_Ausmerican Oh! Then I totally agree. That’s silly.


    “Deliver business value rather than just products.” Can’t argue with that. #auscrum


    “That’s why we go to Agile – because we don’t want to work with project managers. Ha! Saw @msmorrisk’s head snap up. 🙂 #auscrum


    A menstruation joke? *wince* #auscrum


    @knitterjp An otherwise good preso, but some of the “jokes” were a bit cringeworthy.


    RT @msmorrisk Management 3.0 Meddlers fun at #auscrum http://t.co/UXstLxaKSw // Oh! That’s my nose in lower-right corner. Really.


    @imdominating “Rode Hard, meet Put Away Wet.” Did you get to that one yet? LOVE IT.


    How to be exhausted: start a new full-time job right after Daylight Savings Ends. WHERE DID THE SUNSHINE AND FUN GO?


    @Helen__H Just feeling like total sensory overload! Scrum was good. Especially liked keynote and cool talk on how Transport NSW went agile.


    @Helen__H Met several Atlassian folks too!


    Ha! Just got SMS from gardener: “Dropped off plants, as you’ve probably seen…” What? Oh yeah! Out there in the dark. We totes missed them.


    @drkknits Oh thank god. In the thumbnail, I thought it was a frickin’ beret.
