@lordriffington – posting a rollerblading injury report from the gravity app was a nice touch. Also, OUCH, *sympathy* *recovery vibes* #
I do believe I may possibly have caught up on my admin #
@m_minna Okay, okay. Just because I received a shipment of nerf weapons at the conclusion of said admin… in reply to m_minna #

I see ANU's capped again. We really should get a better provider. #

I do like being able to understand how the ANU networks are structured, and how I can tunnel my way from one box to another. It's pleasing #
@m_minna *hugs you a lot* *sends an alot to hug you as well* in reply to m_minna #
Time to suit up for Match 3 of 3 for the Week. MGMT7006 Business Decision Making commences in 20 minutes. #

I'm at QUT S Block w/ 2 others. http://4sq.com/d6tlHH #
First conference injury of the session – laptop bounced off the ground, and I have a lovely new bruise :) #
Oi! @chiefmaven! Don't encourage people to use "social marketing" in place of social media marketing even in ironic air quotes #insm10 #
