Twitter Chat for technical writers

Sunday, 19 September 2010 09:22

I’m so excited about the new weekly Twitter Chats for technical writers, announced last week by Julie Norris and Tristan Bishop! I’ve decided to blog about this great idea, just in case you haven’t seen Julie’s and Tristan’s blog posts and tweets.

Maybe, like me, you’re in the Asia Pacific region and you think,

Oh well, there’s another cool thing I’ll miss out on unless I get up at 3am

But there’s no need to miss out this time! Julie and Tristan have decided to hold two separate chats every week, to have a better chance of suiting all our time zones. That’s so cool! I’m definitely up for the chat that happens at 12 noon on Fridays, Sydney time (GMT+10).

Julie has also written a great post to get us started: Twitter Chats 101.

Thank you guys, what a great idea!

A bush in my garden

Spring has arrived, and wow just look at this bush that we planted two years ago! It’s flourishing in soil about two inches deep, on top of a sandstone ledge. It’s a Leptospermum Polygalifolium Cardwell, also called a Cardwell Tea Tree and is native to Australia (NSW and QLD).
