    @nolim1t @andrewjgrimm @aimee_maree I’m gonna be there!


    @Lackadazy @imdominating @Jezebel I saw RArmitage in Sydney! Theater was full of Women of a Certain Age. I thought they were gonna eat him.


    @andrewjgrimm @nolim1t @aimee_maree Eep! It doesn’t start til 6, right?


    @nolim1t @andrewjgrimm @aimee_maree Oooooo! Well hello Mr Fancy Pants. 😛


    Settling in for @railsgirlsau with @pyko and @nolim1t and lots of others… #railsgirlssyd http://t.co/teYQmWNxsd


    And now I have a github account. Watch out, world. #railsgirlssyd


    @thetron No way! We got Keith. #railsgirlssyd


    I forgot to check in at #railsgirlssyd in Foursquare. Luckily @nolim1t did it for me.


    Drunk guy on bus is very entranced by my Google sweatshirt. Trying to ignore him. Now he’s telling me he invented using Google as a verb.


    @mudsurfer Nah, Sri Lankan. I left bus as he was telling me that the Howard govt always treated Sri Lanka “fair dinkumly”.


    @gilmae I have a vague idea around rewriting my Roald Dahl site to replace old crappy PHP CMS.


    RT @tjmcewan: it’s #fridayhug time at @railsgirlsau Sydney! http://t.co/LzjdBB9Drx // See if you can spot me!


    @pyko I jumped on a bus. Thankfully didn’t get too soaked!


    @aimee_maree @nolim1t @andrewjgrimm I overslept. Just catching bus in now…


    Back to @railsgirlsau for day 2! Gotta earn the shirt… #railsgirlssyd http://t.co/JmD3sL0UJs


    Hey @randomknits – so are these Liberty or not? Now I’m leaning towards not. http://t.co/jtNBjSeLJR


    MT @andrewjgrimm: Got asked about strings vs symbols, hashes vs arrays… #railsgirlssyd // That was me!


    RT @mattallen: Coffee for the #railsgirls in Sydney by @lookaheadsearch. That’s us! http://t.co/RqAm30RYdY


    Ruby and cupcakes on a Saturday morning… http://t.co/01fIlPE9WX


    Ruby and cupcakes on a Saturday morning… http://t.co/01fIlPE9WX // Forgot the hashtag! #railsgirlssyd

    @randomknits @RestlessKnitter BLEURGH


    @drkknits Rodd and I went there a while back. It was fantastic. The SMH originally described the lamb as “f**king amazing”, and it was.


    @drkknits We can go next time you’re in town. Very paleo friendly, in that it’s all about MEAT!


    Knitting group! (@ 99 On York) http://t.co/fDKUFmpL3I


    @randomknits I want to make you some sort of Knitting Geek Merit Badge with that on it.


    @railsgirlsau @aemeredith @paulangov Agenda says after party open to everyone. Does that mean my partner can come join us?


    RT @railsgirlsau: It is @railsgirls weekend all over Australia, with workshops in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. It is going to be …


    @aimee_maree Did you end up registering for Rails Girls tonight??

    Mavis Batey -obituary – Telegraph – Amazing story. I learned a bit about Mavis and the Enigma code-breakers when we visited the Computer History Museum last month. I think I might have to name my next computer Mavis.

    I just helped make a difference by supporting Un Ltd #messengerforcha… https://t.co/lVe98XZx4v // Go Haruki and Ed and all the @Mi9 ers!


    @pyko Same here. I can’t go to the Shoes of Prey GGD. 🙁


    There’s nothing like catching a glimpse of yourself in profile in a photo to bring on a sudden bout of self-loathing.


    Installing Ruby on Rails in preparation for @railsgirlsau!


    Has somebody hacked the @sydneyfireworks account? Not that I’m disagreeing with the tweets at all. Just threw me for a loop!


    @pyko @railsgirlsau Are you going to be a fellow Rails learner, Peggy??

    @chrisgander That’s fine by me. I hate Q&A at those events. Most of ’em are super-nerds who don’t know how to phrase a interesting question!


    @chrisgander “Who’d win in a fight between Cersei and Catelyn?” WTF. Waste of a question.


    RT @GGDSydney: Shoes of Prey GGD Event, Next Wed 20th Nov – http://t.co/SeBwdunktR // Wish I could go! It’s our wedding anniversary. 🙂


    Actually going to wear heels in the office today. @booyachi will be so proud!


    @surrenderdotty @booyachi @StuartCRyan Not stilettos; just chunky heeled sandals. The occasion is the reappearance of the sun. 🙂


    @drkknits But… how? They can’t get into your account using just the BSB and account number.


    @booyachi @garethrhughes Haha, I have no idea what you’re on about either. 🙂

    Beware the white walkers! (Going to see GRRM talk Game of Thrones tonight!) http://t.co/kHuUNRzXR7


    But first, zombie girl’s eatin’ some barbecue.


    White Walker and man of the Night’s Watch takin’ the bus. http://t.co/g9ZcO67YgW


    I now see the appeal of dressing like a zombie. You literally can’t mess it up.


    This place is packed. We appear to be the ONLY people in costume. (@ Sydney Opera House – @sohnews) [pic]: http://t.co/yF9SZq3IhA


    The Monica Geller side of me thinks this means WE WIN.


    I thought that guy was dressed as Jon Snow for a minute, but he’s just a hipster.

    There’s GRRM, heading off the stage. Fascinating to listen to! http://t.co/Quis9GNYjd


    Tonight I learned: Bran is pronounced like Raisin Bran; Cersei is “Ser-say” not “Ser-see”; and Lena Headey is even more beautiful in person.


    @drkknits I told Rodd I was prepared to offer him a look down the cleavage if he’d confirm my theory of Jon Snow’s parentage.


    @drkknits Sadly, didn’t get the chance!


    I cannot wait to wash this crap out of my hair and off my face!


    @gilmae Sister!


    @gilmae Except Ned never told her. The only person who knows is Howland Reed. She just thinks he’s Ned’s bastard.


    @chrisgander I was hoping for drunk Cersei, but drunk Lena is even more fun!
