Really honoured to be on this list! Thanks @rosepowell 🙂 https://t.co/l7V8rrrADI


@daphnechong What are you, some kind of socialist?!


@freakboy3742 Oh wow! I’ve only just hit Gold. Platinum is a level to which I shudder to aspire…


@madradish Fair enough. I did it a few years back and it was hugely valuable, even though I was already experienced. Trainer is very good.


@madradish I think next year we need to not call it a comp. Call it a Speaker Development Program. That’s really the idea – widen the pool.


I want to go to there. https://t.co/28EQXoEyB0


Emcee @yarrcat is kicking things off for tonight’s #GGDSyd. THANK YOU @CampaignMonitor! (Love that view, even on a bad day.) https://t.co/M0SDbm9hOU


Question for #GGDSyd: where did @georgiecel’s shoes come from? LOVE. ❤👞 https://t.co/l6xSztRYXN


The amazing @georgiecel, fresh from her triumphant @localhostAU appearance in WA, is talking to us about blogging. #GGDSyd https://t.co/fOMOlbUBho


Note to self: find this gif and look at it every day. @georgiecel #GGDSyd https://t.co/nZunPj9yox


Actual legit question: listicles suck, but as a reader, I love curation of a theme by an expert. How do you find that balance? #GGDSyd


“Was anybody here blogging in 2000? I know Kris was…” Ouch. 🤓 #villageelder #GGDSyd


@pwcc LOL. Nah, it was meant with love. 🙂


People with disabilities are not “edge cases.” #GGDSyd 😡 https://t.co/aX5G8dp4JU

@simonraikallen @developerjack We once flew Seattle ➡️ Honolulu ➡️ Sydney. Good excuse for a couple days in Waikiki!!


RT @aussielunix: Trained slackbot to reply “get off my grass” whenever nodejs is mentioned. My beard gets a tiny bit greyer every time.


@hima_tk @lisaaharrison1 I really need to go to a @GGDmelb! I’ll be in Melb March 23 to speak at @Zendesk’s Software Art Thou


@LJKenward @GGDmelb You will be amazing!

@bezthomas Thank you!


“And we use our talents, I guess, in whatever way they can be used, and it makes us happy.” What a lovely sentiment! @GaelFC https://t.co/g3TCHlNq00


@tomandlorenzo @FeudFX OH! The bit from “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” Like Martha, I can never remember the name of the movie.


@Malarkey At the Post Office, like once every five years.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
