@randomknits @gilmae I also make cheese.
Day 3 of renovation, and guess what? No tradies have turned up yet. I keep looking over my shoulder for Kevin McCloud.
This is insane. I’ve been to Ada Initiative events. We talked about imposter syndrome, not “how to frame men”. FFS. https://t.co/VeKt3Zh0JC
If that’s what MRAs think goes on at WiT events, they’re sadly mistaken. We’re a lot more boring that that. We’re just people.

@imdominating @AMCTalkingDead @1iota AWESOME! Congrats!!
Recently I gave talks in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the Dream Collective Career Summit. The Dream Collective is an off-shoot of Little Girl Big Dream, and it aims to connect and develop high-calibre young professional women from 25-35. For this event, they pulled together a number of speakers for “TED-style talks” about intrapreneurship. My friend Eileen attended the Melbourne event and was able to film my talk. Here it is!
There’s a hilarious 30s bit in the middle where Eileen accidentally hit stop on the video, so I had to recreate that part at home. In case you’re wondering. 🙂
If you’d like a closer look at my slides, they’re here. Special thanks to Guy Kawasaki for his writings on intrapreneurship (especially this blog post), and to Poppie Pack for helping tweak the design of my slides. The whole presentation was design in Canva, of course!
I also took some photos on the day of previous speakers as well as our panel at the end. Thank you so much to Sarah and the Dream Collective team for inviting me!
Ouch. https://t.co/nwSNUDSgje
Wait, @saraicat from @ColettePatterns is going to be in Melbs!? Any chance of a visit to Sydney too?? https://t.co/D6e35aB26v
RT @diversionary: I’m experimenting with Medium, so what better than “How to make Cold Brew Coffee” as a first post? https://t.co/hZkfiDGLT…
@diversionary The font meant I had to stare at “80g” for a while to figure out what it meant. Thought for a sec that “og” was special unit.
@TheTonyHam Actually, they start *before* Halloween. That stupid tree goes up in the QVB in mid-October. Drives me nuts every time.
@TheTonyHam I actually really love it. It’s different. More like a weird summer vacation than anything. 🙂
@iamnotyourbroom @diversionary *glares*
@JennaPrice I just hearted that.
@gilmae But doesn’t it feel good? I LOVE pruning backlogs. I should be a professional backlog pruner.
@imdominating So you’re missing Pacey. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU.
The Snook got it for me in the US as a joke, but the real joke is that I LOVE IT and it’s nearly gone. 🙁 https://t.co/pWlgq3czFh

Video from the talk I gave in Melbourne last month! Thanks to Eileen for the video. (There’s a funny 30s bit in the middle where she accidentally hit Stop, so I had to recreate it.) More info and a link to the slides are on my blog: https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/15300.

@mmastertheone Hm. They’re the right way for me… WordPress. I’ll investigate.
@mmastertheone Weird. I see them as vertical even in new browser. Still that way after refresh?
@sebastiangrail I pinged them about that today too. 🙁
@mmastertheone Lesson: don’t rely on WordPress for rotating in the future! 🙂 Thanks…

Hooray for #pantsvember! I got new shoes to celebrate.
Here we go again on another renovation adventure! It’s time to turn our old and busted ensuite bathroom into something more modern and less gross. As with the kitchen, we’re going with Harvey Norman Renovations to manage the whole project. We spent last night clearing out the bathroom and moving our bed into the guest room. Here are the before photos:
The big change is that we’re swapping the toilet and the shower. That way the shower can run parallel to the window and can be a little bigger. Then we’ll have a smaller vanity beside it (where the towel rack used to be). The walls will be tiled up to the ceiling with white rectangles, and the floor will be white hexagons with black grout.
The first task, of course, was to demolish the old bathroom. In three hours, five guys and a jackhammer took it down to the bare bricks. Now it looks like a prison cell! Here’s hoping the rest of the build goes smoothly…
(Yeah, they chipped the damn window. They’re already arranging to get it fixed…)
