    Any wool purchases made when you’re sick don’t count towards your stash. This is the law. ❤️🧶 @hobbii.de


    20C = 68F. Warm enough to have our afternoon coffee on the terrace! ☀️☕️

    @nemshilov Only in Australia does average mean bad. In the US, average means pretty good! (That one confused me too.)


    @mmastertheone Mid-90s I pretended not to like those groups but secretly did. Took me a few years to give up on trying to look cool to boys who weren’t worth it. 🙄

    The Snook bought me a new mouse as an early birthday present. This sucker is 100% going to give me carpal tunnel, and I don’t even care. 🎮 #nes (Hat tip to @GunnarGrosch and @darkosubotica who have them too!) https://t.co/976iZMCnmS


    @darkosubotica @GunnarGrosch So far biggest thing I’m missing from Magic Mouse is is horizontal scroll (especially in Tweetdeck)…


    @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Clicking the buttons is deeply satisfying. If it was 20 years ago, it would come with a Windows desktop theme that turns your cursor into Mario and makes a gold coin sound every time you get an email.


    @darkosubotica @GunnarGrosch WAIT, it *does* have horizontal scroll if I hit the up arrow! Genius.


    @classicwebdog @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica Literally just tried it, but it’s missing the “Start” button. 🙂

    @mseckington This is amaaaaazing. 😍


    @tfswebb Our older cat never, in 13 years, ever liked the younger one. We tried keeping apart, slow introductions, Feliway. She hated him until her dying day. She just wasn’t friendly to other cats.

    Today was the day, the day I got the idea for this year’s Oscar contest sock monkeys. Clock is ticking… 💥🐵🪡🧵

    @justkelly_ok If you haven’t listened to the excellent Lolita Podcast by @jamieloftusHELP, she talks about Allen and Manhattan in one episode. Can recommend – excellent deep dive into the book, dramatisations, and culture of sexualising children. https://t.co/mRBnA1v1jK

    You might think that moving to the other side of the world would mean that men would stop asking me to share my binders full of Aussie technical women looking for jobs. You would be wrong.

    (In case the sarcasm isn’t clear, THERE ARE NO BINDERS.)


    @jcnsingapore The great secret of the tech industry is that there are loads of talented women developers just desperate for new jobs, but the only way to find them is to ask another women to act as unpaid recruiter and spoonfeed their names to you, right? 😂


    @darthted I enjoyed the recruiter today who was basically like, “I know you’re not looking, but here are ten .Net developer roles I’m recruiting for in Sydney if you want to, like, do my job for me.” I mean, dude. No part of that has any relevance to me.

    @thebeebs Whoops. I wondered!


    @FourRedShoes I see it, especially if she has a fringe too. 😂


    @FourRedShoes Throw on an anklet and you got yourself a Snorkmaiden for sure!


    @QuinnyPig Slight disagree on this one. I’ve seen (personally and through connections) lots of companies who acknowledge you’re worth more, but offer you less because it’s either all they can afford or the minimum they think you’ll accept. But it’s not your *worth*.


    @QuinnyPig I don’t disagree with any of that. I’m just burnt from startups and social orgs that have explicitly cited their vision and mission as a reason candidates should accept massive pay cuts for the privilege of working for them. 🙁

    TIL that Juicero for cocktails exists – https://t.co/s2x30GF1Bd – complete with DRMed flavour pods and a subscription service. Come on, tech industry. Really?! 🙄


    @DivineOps Hmm. I disagree. I think of coaches as being experienced in particular field, and able to provide practical guidance on how to do the thing (like a sports coach). A good mentor shouldn’t just speak about their own exp, but guide mentee to solve problems for themselves.

    This whole podcast is great, but this particular episode opened a portal to myself in 1993, right in the middle of a German grocery store.
