    The search for the perfect red lippie continues. This one might be a contender! @katvondbeauty


    Sydney folks – Myer Sydney has this in stock! It sold out ridiculously quickly in the US, so if you want it, don’t delay. (Thanks Amy Allenspach for the tip!!)

    @JulieKalitis @bengubana Yeah, I wondered about that, but the white looks pretty solid. With duplicate stitch you’d expect some bits of blue showing.

    @GeoffreyHuntley @SydneyHaskell @readify Holy crap I somehow missed this. Very relevant to my interests. Are total FP newbies welcome?


    @GeoffreyHuntley @SydneyHaskell @readify Awesome. I’ll sign up for the group and try to make it tonight. If I’m not there, will you be sharing what gets covered so folks can catch up?

    RT @Gaohmee: This. Is. An. EXCELLENT tip for working on projects in your own time, especially solo projects!

    Good for your own mental heal…


    @crankymate @VirginAustralia Oh that sucks! You’re missing out. I haven’t flown the US version, but AU is pretty damn good.


    @allievoyage @MenCatPerson Thanks for alerting me to this! Read the story yesterday. Very powerful.


    @TheEnigmaRoom @WoodyZuill @the_snook @DocOnDev @AgileSquirrel @kytrinyx @yow_conf Sadly, most of them have gone home to the USA! 😭


    Just sent out the Art + Tech miniconf CFP notifications. Looks like it’s going to be a cracking program! #lca2018


    That said – this was my first time ever having to reject other folks talks. That part sucked. I know how much work goes into preparing an abstract, and I really appreciate everybody who submitted. Six hours just isn’t enough time to fit it all in. πŸ™ #lca2018


    @cameronjonesweb Yes, exactly!!


    @IndigenousX @yow_conf @indigitek And you were both excellent track hosts!! Thanks for joining us. ☺️


    I grew up in the Midwest but I’ve never had a pickle in my beer. I’d definitely try it though! πŸ₯’πŸΊ https://t.co/CwpHMQhT9p https://t.co/xO1zzO8kuH


    @themaninblue This is your way of deflecting us from the fact that you’re working on a secret project with initials TBC, isn’t it? THE BIG CANVA?!


    @themaninblue Tuberculosis Candy


    πŸ‘ Even harder than it looks. That ABC logo is in intarsia, meaning this jumper is knit flat and sewn up. Thus the fairisle bit with the snowflakes has added difficulty due to stranding on the purl side. πŸ’― #knittingnerd @bengubana https://t.co/9dffvxOjBI


    @bengubana Hm. Although she could’ve knit the bottom in the round, I suppose, as long as the logo is all above the split for the arm holes… (Reverse engineering is fun!)

    Huh. I grew up in the Midwest but I’ve never had a pickle in my beer. I like pickles though. I’d definitely try it. πŸ₯’πŸΊ

    Second fastest time ever from the #yow17 team at @TheEnigmaRoom! @WoodyZuill @the_snook @DocOnDev @AgileSquirrel @kytrinyx @yow_conf https://t.co/P37igKosod


    Wow. This is super useful @boztek, as it points out that even people who think they know what it means (like me) might be interpreting it incorrectly. Could change what they take away from your talk. https://t.co/bCXtKxbIt4


    @mmastertheone @TheEnigmaRoom @WoodyZuill @the_snook @DocOnDev @AgileSquirrel @kytrinyx @yow_conf That’s the one we did! I think it could use a few more red herrings though. That would make it harder. πŸ™‚

    @_hhandoko Yeah, I’m hoping they take pity on me. I was hoping not to take another flight before the end of the year! Too much travel in 2017. πŸ™‚


    @VirginAustralia 😬 Sent!


    @OphelieLechat Do you know @simonraikallen?


    @anthonypjshaw @VirginAustralia Already had that set up for a while! But with just 2 of us it doesn’t add up to more than a couple a month.


    @chthonicionic @DrJosh9000 They reached out to say they’d look into it for me. πŸ™‚


    TFW you’re cooing over a video of baby kangaroos when @the_snook reminds you that you ate one for dinner. 😭 #tastytho


    Woohoo! Thank you @VirginAustralia! 😍 https://t.co/BtTJONm75s

    Tip for conference speakers: “table stakes” is a metaphor you may want to avoid, or else provide some additional context. I ran a poll on the @GGDSydney Slack this week and 2/3 of respondents didn’t know what it meant.


    @crucially @GGDSydney I’d consider poker metaphors in that category. Most people only know it from watching people on TV play.


    @aprilwensel Exactly! Just adding a bit of extra context – “the bare minimum, the starting point” – in enough I think.


    @crucially @GGDSydney Interesting!!


    @JM77 Its a huge thing in the US, because American Coke uses high fructose corn syrup. Mexican Coke uses sugar.


    @JM77 That said – I thought Aussie Coke used real sugar anyway. πŸ€”


    @mwotton @GGDSydney I can’t believe I didn’t make that joke. πŸ˜‚
