- Hazards of kinky life: explaining why there are no clasps on your “jewelry.” Radiologist was a good sport, said “Ok we’ll work with it.” #
- @audaciaray @mistressmatisse Thirded. I don’t get the appeal of Halloween as 1 night a year. Why not just do whatever you want all the time? #
- @wendyblackheart If I ever need an MRI then health concerns trump kinky living. However, often an MRI is only one of many diagnosis options. #
- http://tr.im/oyf “Ppl who think gimmicks like discounts make up for disregarding women’s comfort belies stupidity at best, sexism at worst.” #
- OMG moment of the day: I made my first website when I was 12yo = I’ve been doing webdev FOR 12 YEARS! In my defense, I am not entirely sane. #
- RT @SitePointDotCom: “allergic to the term process cuz it implies linearity[…]good design is an emergent outcome.” http://tinyurl.com/6ow6z7 #
- @wendyblackheart That’s what big, strong Firefighters are for. They have these great metal tools that can cut through anything. ::fansself:: #
- @mrsexsmith My first (public) site is still archived: http://maymay.net/bpd/old/ I’ve always been really proud of it (but not for its code). #
- @wendyblackheart Don’t tell, but it’s the black+yellow uniforms & the boots that do it for me. Also, images of their sweaty bodies naked. :) #
- @thepete I’m actually better at sport-cracking than @BloodyLaughter, but she has investments in certain other uses for those whips. As do I. #
- @ryancross I just signed up for http://BarCampSydney.org. I’ve never been to a BarCamp before but offered to present on semantic web anyway. #
- @jdub Your presentation at http://SLUG.org.au was fun+funny! I never knew mutt=vim for email. Everyone listen to http://twit.tv/floss16 FTW! #
- I like Warren Buffett’s “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful” cuz it applies to every form of opportunity. #
- @jdub I should admit to not knowing who you were before I listened to that, nor did I realize who I was speaking to when I met Rob Collins…. #
- The difficult thing when things don’t go the way I hoped isn’t that they didn’t work out but how lonely I feel after it’s all said and done. #
- @jdub Here here! I got the same feeling when I went to #WDS08. Made great connections w/ @johnallsopp, @davidseth, & @mattymcg among others. #
- @DaLzz Kinda ditto for me. I typically start late+work late, so at night (like now) I’m in bed playing with iPhone apps instead of sleeping. #

- @audaciaray Hm. I’ve never actually been more interested in watching ANTM than I am now. Sort of a historic moment, but it’s not surprising. #
- @katebornstein OMFG! Are they on CRACK?! @Twitter is just as much a terrorist’s tool as fertilizer. So peeved at large, dumb orgs right now! #
- @MiriamP I didn’t realize age of consent was different for homosexual versus heterosexual activity or is that just for MALE homosexual acts? #
- @violetblue My life is in GMail, too. Make an IMAP backup yourself to safeguard. Here’s one easy way to do it: http://icanhaz.com/imapbackup #
- @unspeakableaxe If it weren’t for my dominant gf, I wouldn’t know how to, either. OTOH I wouldn’t be quite so naked at home all the time. ;) #
- @lachlanhardy Just wait ’til you `git rebase` a lot. Then you’ll really feel like a rebel. I totally wanna go James Dean on my SCM’s ass! :D #
- Okay, catching up on the “north hemis”’s tweets (as @katebornstein put it) was fun. Now back to the world of dreams & front-end integration. #
- My work day = discussing silly shell tricks. http://icanhaz.com/gitshortcut Better: `git log –pretty=oneline | head -n 1 | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f 1` #
- @MiriamP Kind of makes me wish I was 16 again but in reality I was too shy to ask a boy out back then. If I only knew then what I know now…. #
- @lachlanhardy I tried to setup a git-svn conduit for a project but then got overwhelmed w/other tasks. Gitjour looks cool, thx for the link! #
- @katebornstein Ironical abt dreaming+tried to reference Fawlty Towers epi “Communication Problems” http://tinyurl.com/ftquotes Thx for link! #
- @lachlanhardy ♥ pics saying “refactored significantly” as “AKA complicated shit”! I used git-svn elsewhere just not THAT project in the end. #
- @dlsspy That’s even better! Thx! What I really wanted is `alias gpb=’git rev-parse HEAD | pbcopy’` This is me giving THIS MUCH ♥ to @Twitter #
- @BloodyLaughter Describing groups of uniformed schoolgirls as a “horde” also makes for interesting speculations. Penny for your thoughts? ;) #
- @sanbeiji Is there a http://userstyles.org/stylish/ for Safari/WebKit? I’ve been wanting to write user style sheets for some certain people. #
- TOTD: It doesn’t matter how hard you try, you’re not going to get it right 1st time. Doing better isn’t about perfection, but about failure. #
- @likeomg Uh…”women have long[…]claimed: that men act like animals in the sexual realm”. Sexist research, much? http://tinyurl.com/nosexclass #
- Today turns out to be productive, but not in a way I thought it’d be. That’s okay. Also hi new followers! FYI following me is probably NSFW. #
- Augh, I’m in a vicious cycle. I’m having trouble writing Ch 2 of the next book but the stress of not having it written is giving me trouble. #
- Okay thazzit. Tonight is over and tomorrow I have an early morning doctor’s appointment to get X-Rayed. Maybe I’ll get superpowers! Bedtime. #
My tweets on 2008-10-29
- Final thought on $ sexism at kink/fetish events: When @BloodyLaughter & I go out, we look at prices like this: $5 women + $25 men = $15 each #
- When corporate #branding guidelines go too far http://icanhaz.com/identityguidelines Some #business #humor for the day (via @BloodyLaughter) #
- Debating whether I should take a walk during my lunch hour or just stay inside. Variables are food vs. money vs. stepping out of the office. #
- Discovering differences in philosophical approaches to development by discussing git v bzr with a friend. A fascinating+opinionated subject. #
- Thought of the day: What’s the carbon impact of developing software w/o following #AgileDevelopment practices, w/o reducing any HUMAN waste? #
- @wordpress Is the WordPress @LinkedIn App for WordPress.com blogs only or is there an option available for self-hosted WordPress blogs, too? #
- @wordpress Nevermind. I’ll just TIAS. But another question is “When will there be an option to customize which tag/category gets pulled in?” #
- @wendyblackheart Worth more money, too. ;) Not to mention doing that will bring more transferable skills, more hands-on experience, & more…. #
- Speaking of things worth lots of money, here’s a tool to use in your #business to get results w/almost no effort: http://icanhaz.com/bizbull #
- @wendyblackheart It’s a no-brainer. In Uni you’ll SPEND money trying to learn same things work will PAY YOU to learn. (See @BrazenCareerist) #
- Moving Trac tickets from the “reviewing” to the “closed” state makes me feel like a Trac gardener as I watch the Roadmap fill w/a green bar. #
- Editing Wikipedia article on “Analysis paralysis” and suddenly feeling like I am over-thinking my contribution. Should I use a comma there…? #
- ZOMGROTFLMAO! I think I just had a geek-comedy-trekkie-gasm all at once thanks to http://icanhaz.com/vulcansex Yay non-con sci-fi kinky sex! #
- @JohnBaku Your choice to add a “Fluctuating/Evolving” option to the list of possible sexual orientations on FetLife.com profiles is awesome. #
- @BloodyLaughter A book whose content sounds like poetry isn’t bad, I think, just don’t know if I’d read it. But then I’m not big on fiction. #
- Sending emails to old colleagues who have recommended me on my @LinkedIn profile to request duty statements for my AU Skilled Worker’s Visa. #
- Yay for being mostly done with large, annoying, completely bureaucratic processes that I have little patience for! Now to snack as a reward. #
- @lachlanhardy It’s only abuse if you’ve already `git push`ed the patch, otherwise fixing typos is a completely consensual use of the tool ;) #
- This is so too much early to be awake! It’s foggy, calm & I’m sure the harbor is pretty but rather be in bed since I won’t see it @ work #
My tweets on 2008-10-28
- Why is the fact that one is not happy when one goes to work not proof enough for that person that ideas of work are wrong? It is for me. #
- The http://livelykernel.sunlabs.com is the most amazing JavaScript & SVG project I’ve seen in some time; SmallTalk-esque world in a browser! #
- First time getting feedback on my tech writing. This makes me realize how much better I’ve gotten accepting and learning from such critique. #
- TOTD: 1. The less you trust someone the fewer reasons they have to be trustworthy. 2. Being productive has nothing to do w/being in control. #
- @lanej0 Wow dude, that sounds like one mean lamp. Might be put to better use keeping a pie warm on your window sill, eh? ;) Okay I’m hungry. #
- If you think this economic crisis is “bad,” you don’t know jack. http://tinyurl.com/6r94m9 Wow. Just wow. Epic epic fail. (via @katebedwell) #
- New tool: “Make a case for not attending meetings and impress your boss with your cost sensitivity.” http://payscale.com/meeting-miser LOVE! #
- @alicam IMHO the Great Australian Firewall will do nothing to protect your children cuz hiding porn from them does not equate to protection. #
- Heh, I keep forgetting that in Australia “to go” orders are called “take away” orders. I think I confused the waitress. #stupidamerican #
- @alicam It’s not NSA spyware that slows USA networks it’s greedy Telecoms. Rather than upgrade infrastructure they’d rather downgrade users. #
- Great posts: 1. No-class markup for better CSS http://tinyurl.com/62b7pq 2. display:table; in CSS for grid layouts http://tinyurl.com/58s77m #
- Sounds fun: “snap pictures of people on the street and then…converting the pictures into accurate naked 3D models” http://tinyurl.com/66qowf #
- Okay by “fun” I meant “totally creepy in a really fascinating way that forces important issues of digital privacy” http://tinyurl.com/6zj73o #
- It bugs me that I see so little activity from my tweeple friends during the day and then there’s lots when I’m headed to bed…damn timezones. #
- @katebornstein :) Yes but I’d rather catch up with you guys than get to work on time. I have enough trouble in the mornings as is. Now, bed. #
- @unspeakableaxe The reason kink/fetish events are cheaper for women is blatantly obvious: sexism. Women are products, men are the consumers. #
- @unspeakableaxe You can’t. Logic: If Axe has a penis & all people w/penises consume, then Axe must be a consumer. I call it “socket method.” #
- @unspeakableaxe People = stupid. What does sex have to do with biology? It’s all politics. See also my entire blog http://tinyurl.com/68a32x #
- Grr. Why does @Twitter make URLs redirects after I post? It doesn’t save me space + bad for web arch. reliability! http://tinyurl.com/2odkkm #
- @unspeakableaxe Quote at will. See my license (attribution, non-commercial, no-derivs.) I found if talking abt sex + let people remix = BAD! #
- @unspeakableaxe Yeah, it’s what I said. :) No need to dbl check. If I fuck up which I will eventually do, I might as well fuck up in public. #
- @girlonetrack Vanilla version of what @unspeakableaxe & I were saying. http://icanhaz.com/sexistwomen Women=spend $ on looking good=products #
My tweets on 2008-10-27
- I make an effort to look decent: white button down, nice jeans, product in my hair. If only I had breasts, I could get away with murder. #
- If it’s not obvious by my scowling at my desk, I have a VERY short fuse. It’s a weakness I try to turn into a strength, but beware it today. #
- @Kioma I’d need to shave before a padded bra would do me any good. On an unrelated note, what’s http://Footprints-RPG.org in your own words? #
- Who’s planning to attend the $60 weekend computer security conference http://RUXCON.org.au hosted at UTS? I’d go if I’ll know someone there. #
- Gotta watch my temper more closely. Nearly went off on a rant expressing frustration at coworkers slow pace picking up iterative practices. #
- @wendyblackheart To train boys well you need to understand them first. If you don’t, your training regime and tactics won’t be as effective. #
- @wendyblackheart Cosmo’s advice is entirely about training GIRLS, not boys, & it’s not even good. I thought that was obvious from its cover. #
- @wendyblackheart I guess my last tweet admitted I’ve looked at Cosmo covers recently…for the articles! I really should get back to work now. #
- Overheard: “Since it’s really important that we fix some bugs in this iteration, maybe we should treat them with a little more respect….” :D #
- @sanbeiji Awesome+congrats! Wish I had progressed on Ch 2 but alas, I haven’t. Things are hard cuz we’re not iterating fast. Let’s fix that? #
- @jnau Agile can’t work when done piecemeal. Gotta be “all of it, all together, all at once” See Mike Cohn http://icanhaz.com/agiletransition #
- @gregdwyer Might be too slow, but you could try using http://TORproject.org which lets you choose exit nodes based on geo-location, I think. #
- @jnau I’ve never seen Agile done well either but its ideas resonate w/me so I apply what I can myself. Screw others & their wastefulness. :) #
- Okay, ew. Usually ModFetish has hawt stuff but this literally made me cringe in disgust http://tinyurl.com/5lmxm7 (NSFW!) I like teh curves. #
- Confession time…sometimes I go through my “Sent Mail” folder just to reread emails I’ve sent to friends that I miss (like @ProblmLikeMaria). #
- @katebornstein Fuck, was going to tweet but then saw yours and thought maybe they want a third. Now can’t remember what I was going to type. #
- O ya! Was gonna say I’m disappointed in myself for not having completed more writing+am angry at world+job for exploding at such bad timing. #
- Love @ work. Me: “Me making the bed makes you feel like an adult?” @BloodyLaughter: “Yup! That’s the kind of adult I want to be!” Me: “Wow.” #
- @katebornstein I’ll try to remember Catlin’s words, then. It just feels difficult to feel productive when I don’t have a word count, though. #
- @katebornstein @Kioma The pic disgusted me cuz it’s meant to be erotic & I know more than 1 person who likely thinks it is, including an ex. #
- @ProblmLikeMaria @majamajamaja I like making the bed because @BloodyLaughter thinks I’m all servile and sexy when I do it. No complaints! ;) #
- @BloodyLaughter Yes, write more pr0n. @raquelita thinks it’s fit enough to print. Not sure why you never liked erotic lit @conversiovirium. #
My tweets on 2008-10-26
- I wish I had woken up in 2009 this morning or not at all. I’ve grown too upset with 2008 to see how to make it from now to then peacefully. #
- @BloodyLaughter is amusingly similar to Pavlov’s dogs, except her bell is the Apple Mail.app new mail chime. It is ridiculously adorable. ;) #
- @sushimonster OMG, I don’t even know what that is but I TOTALLY want a cuddle puddle! Um. That is all, I think…yes, it is. /me sips coffee…. #
- Am feeling somewhat silly & wiggly. Thinking of getting a pancake brekky (at 4 PM, so what?). Am not sure if this is a coping scheme or not. #
- I think today’s goals will be these 2 things sorted by dependency: 1 Don’t freak out about how much I have to do & 2 Do some of that stuff. #
- Why do punk scum feel a need to invade my space? One day one will have the wrong impulse at wrong time & I will make them suffer for it. #
- The café @BloodyLaughter chose for breakfast isn’t even serving lunch. I chose not to order, spent the meal silent & still, eyes closed. #
- Back in bed cuz the world is full of places I don’t belong. I sincerely hate this disgusting society and its ignorant populations sometimes. #
- @BloodyLaughter Sorry to hear about the loss of that writing. I want to try to make this weekend better but don’t know how w/o starting over #
- I’m going to be an adult now. That begins w/cleaning sex toys, doing dishes & setting up a Windows VM to d/l the 2008 tax return program in. #
- I prep dinner, figure tonight is the best time to try blank-label red. What else can go wrong today? While uncorking, metal corkscrew snaps. #
- Holy crap, taxes are filed and for the first time in my independent life I might actually be seeing a refund. That’s ALMOST like free money! #
- Listen people, posting your content on 3 sites (BestSexBloggers.com + KinkSexLink.com + your blog) is bad for your Google PageRank. Use RSS. #
- @PenelopeTrunk’s post convinced me I was born generations too early cuz this is what work SHOULD be like TODAY http://icanhaz.com/betterjobs #
- On that note, I am SO not ready for it to be 1 AM on Monday morning right now. I want a do-over on my weekend, and more time for my writing. #
- @mrsexsmith No need to wait. Read about that on Google’s Webmaster Guidelines: http://tinyurl.com/344jw7 More here: http://tinyurl.com/h5uja #

- Uh, @BloodyLaughter and I were just told that we are a “visual splendor” while we sit near the open window of a coffee shop to write. #
- @viviane212 Fun for me too! So nice of @violetblue to link to my post in the first place. I hope one day to chat w/her re tech+sex research. #
- Yay! Just made early bird registration for Open Source Developer’s Conference 2008 http://osdc.com.au/ Last chance is tonight so go sign up! #
- With @BloodyLaughter still out drinking I’m suddenly very worried tonight will turn sour. Must remember to moderate expectations, timelines. #
- Relax, I’m saying to myself, unsure how to fill this time. Poker rule No. 1: Don’t play when you’re upset. I’m now applying this to writing. #
- I don’t know whether to keep crying or just go to sleep after that unpleasant emotional rollercoaster. I feel dumbfounded. I want to escape. #
My tweets on 2008-10-24
- @sanbeiji Glad to see it! Let’s try to catch up but let’s work smarter not harder. Did you see my suggestions re simultaneous collaboration? #
- I have many ideas bouncing around my head after speaking with @johnallsopp this morning. I like his notion “CSS is the future’s PostScript.” #
- Amused that I was pulled from “critical” project by 2 ppl who involved 2 others none of whom could solve the issue so I had to do it anyway. #
- @wendyblackheart Backups are like air. If you don’t have ‘em you’ll feel anxious & afraid. If you do, you’ll feel fine. http://taobackup.com #
- The best thing about work is the ability to casually discuss no pants shabu-shabu diners & various other things during weekly Fri. meetings. #
- Trying to seduce @BloodyLaughter in public. If she is pushing my limits as a bottom, then it is my duty & pleasure to push her as a top. #

- Augh, not only am I still tired but I’m late to work and I got water in my ear while showering. Also, I’m still hungry from last night. #
- @MiriamP Those are my favorite Christians. I kinda remember when @gleea sounded similar but I always knew she was going to turn out queer ;) #
- I’m only half way through http://twit.tv/floss27 but I’m already ready to salivate over @WardCunningham’s utter and indisputable GENIUSNESS! #
- Funny and true retweet @writingdirty in reply to @HisButterfly asking “Why do you blog?” Answer: “Because getting published takes too long.” #
- @echomikeromeo No, computer science is mostly logic not calculus. Case in point: I have trouble w/division but am told I’d rock a CS course. #
- Coworker made rice. Me: “Last time I ate was here in this office. So hungry!” @factorypreset: “You haven’t eaten in 24 hours?” Me: “No, 22.” #
- @tylerthepup Can I just say that I really love it when you say things like “in the mood for bloody meat.” Sorry, I’ll get out of the gutter. #
- I’ve cut down my backlog of bug tickets in half already and it’s only 3:40 in the afternoon. IE6, I scoff in haughty victory at thee! Scoff! #
- Pet peeve: Devs who comment “CSS I expect. Anyone can do this.” I’m happy for “anyone” to do it so long as they’ll be receptive to feedback. #
- @supertailz Use http://tinyurl.com/69enm3 for that functionality…? I think replies behavior is a sensical convention. #
- @joshualane Is that implying that this person paid multiple times & only got sex in return once? Because that would be teh suck. Literally…? #
- This project has taught me a new way to code for IE. 1: Code ridiculously complex CSS. 2: Make it work in FF. 3: Simplify until IE works. :P #
- @sushimonster Transparent grading sounds like a good thing to me, much like transparent salaries. Openness in general encourages good work. #
- To whoever turned out bathroom lights on me: it’s in your best interest to leave lights on so that I can be confident I’ve wiped correctly. #
- Optimism: Extremely productive relatively painless IE bug squashing. Pessimism: Am so over the daily grind, would rather be writing my book. #
- @violetblue I’ve got a HUGE fascination of the corridor of sex/tech, blog about it as often as I can. See http://MaybeMaimed.com/playground/ #
- @mrpatto Corridor is shorter than intersection & Twitter only gives us 140 characters to tweet. Also, that’s the word that @violetblue used. #
- @supertailz Look again. I found one, but it was a very old tweet. Trust me, this works & you can even get an RSS feed of the search results. #

- AU Immi wants “evidence that [I have] experience that is relevant to” my job, e.g. “copies of…educational qualifications”. Very funny, that. #

- @DmitryBaranovsk PIEFACE! http://www.pieface.com.au/ Your Raphaël stuff is just amazing. Thank you for existing and maintaining all of that. #
- @ryancross Mostly it’s Pages to draft manuscript+Track Text Changes, git for versioning code listings+the Pages files & sharing w/co-author. #
- @ProblmLikeMaria Or a chat room! 4yrs is a long time. Tell him to find a chat buddy to talk to and leave you alone, me thinks. Miss you. :-* #
- @ryancross I’d like to use DocBook, but unfortunately I haven’t the time to invest in learning it well enough to be sufficiently proficient. #
- @stefsull Eating is actually healthiest after you’ve exercised. That’s when muscle in our bodies are most receptive to nutrients. Dig in! :D #
- @katebornstein Have ya tried Dinosaur BBQ? @tylerthepup & @NijiShoujo took @BloodyLaughter & I there. Leftovers were amazing even days later #
- All this tweeting about food makes me really glad I insisted on a walk and a sit down lunch today. I’m feeling cranky dealing w/stuff today. #
- @Aubs I second @jcroft & @joshualane. I’ll add that it’s possible for a new beau to actually PREFER old lingerie over new, for many reasons. #
- @BloodyLaughter You are beautiful and made of awesome. That, coupled w/my food coma, is making it incredibly hard to focus on anything else. #
- @NickHodge Taking that 1 step further, I think geek girls ARE the hot girls. Lucky for me in this case similarities (not opposites) attract! #
- @stefsull That info comes from @sheershir, who encouraged me not to worry about diet until I had solidified good exercise habits. It worked! #
- @katebornstein Oh dear, I don’t know! Their web site http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/ seems to indicate locations are only in New York State. #
- @suziam I’d TOTALLY put my lips on that mug. (Yes that was purposefully dirtier than necessary.) Also: sexy=~m/(greek )?geek (girl|chick)s?/ #
- My coffee break epiphany: I became a web professional to make the best of a serious addiction to the Internet. See also today’s prior tweets #

- @sanbeiji Microsoft peeps are doing what we’re writing about re styling microformats. Check this out http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oomph#Style #
- I’m invited to “exclusive” BDSM site http://slaveindex.net. Tries to “promote social progress.” I think closed sites are opposing that goal. #
- Frustrated! I have so much to do and so little energy to do it with. And to top it all off I’m nagged by annoying human needs like food! Gr! #
- Things went sour tonight & I lost my appetite along w/any hope of being productive. Am now struggling to move, talk. Oddly, can still tweet. #
- WTF is this? Waking up from a 9hr night’s sleep should NOT result in this much sleepiness. I feel as though I just closed my eyes a min ago. #
