Melbournians, the weather is glorious out there today. Get out and enjoy - today’s min temperature will be tomorrow’s max. #WinterIsComing
@carly_io are you in Melbourne!? My wife and I were supposed to be coming out there for a conference in a few weeks, sadly had to back out :/
@schuyler I am in Melbourne, yes 😊. I move around a little, but my home-base apartment is here. It's a shame you had to back out, Melbourne Autumn is lovely. Next time, gadget!
@carly_io it's a neat event if you wind up getting curious: https://ozlockcon.com/
@carly_io @schuyler I always fancied Melbourne as one of the best cities on Earth I've never actually been to....
@Michael_Spencer @schuyler I like it here. Get on board - come and visit sometime 😊
@carly_io @schuyler As a journalist or as a tootian? I'm considering it...:couch:
@carly_io @schuyler @Michael_Spencer Tooter, not tootian, more respect Sir! :)
@johann @carly_io @schuyler I belong to the #Tootian faction, and so it begins...
@Michael_Spencer @johann @carly_io I've been referring to us as proboscideans.
@schuyler @johann @carly_io That does have a ring to it! What does Probo stand for again?
@schuyler @carly_io @Michael_Spencer that word is Very deep for my English level :(
@johann @schuyler @carly_io Mine too, it sounds vaguely dystopian, so that's what I find it charming.
@johann Joey, hablas español? Aprendí un poco - viví en Sudamerica por un año, casi diez años atras. Creo que he perdido mucho, pero si prefieres podemos hablar en español a veces. 😊
@carly_io Si, hablo español, soy cubano, imagínate... Tooteo en ingles porque casi todo el mundo entiende lo que digo y además todavía hay pocos hispano parlantes... en que parte viviste? de donde eres?
@johann Claro. Vivo en Melbourne, Australia. Viví en Santiago de Chile con mi primo por 3 meses, y despues viaje por ~10 meses mas. Visite Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru y Ecuador. (Wow, definitivamente tengo que practicar mas. Lo siento. Jaja. Es dificil cuando se vive en un pais que habla Ingles. No hay muchas oportunidades por practicar)
@carly_io Yo quería irme a vivir a Australia... que mistica me da ese país! no tienes idea... Termina imponiendose otras realidades... pero iré!
@carly_io Y te llamas Carly?
@johann Carly, si 😊. Y te llamas Joey? O Johann?
@carly_io Johann... amigos cercanos me decían Joey en la universidad y me identifico mucho con ese nombre, algunos aún me llaman así, llevado al español unos Joy, You :upside_down:
@johann @schuyler @carly_io As a Tootian, I find just pretending helps at times.
@Michael_Spencer @schuyler @carly_io My mind is not yet prepared for that :cry:
@johann @schuyler @carly_io People generally live in made up utopias, to escape from dystopic realities. Unfortunate to be spiritual you know? It's hard to explain...
@Michael_Spencer @schuyler @carly_io My parents small host house for rent, there in Viñales, Cuba is named "Casa La Utopía" I named it... I also write something that talks about utopia, do you wanna read and opine about it? https://devnsys.com/blog/utopia-s-blog-1/post/the-sole-boss-company-is-reaching-to-its-finish-4 By the way, the name of the blog mention utopia too
@johann @Michael_Spencer @carly_io :P sadly I'm not up on my Greek conjugations, looks like I should have been saying proboscidea? Regardless: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscidea
@schuyler @Michael_Spencer @carly_io Well I understand your name a little more!
