It’s lovely, but they already ignore stuff I pay $ for. Having them spurn a handmade bed I slaved over would just kill me! 😹 https://t.co/HltrPAmaAi


@jacobstanley I’m putting the Lambda Jam program up, and your talk title made me laugh out loud in the library. Congrats. A+ punning. 😆

@pwcc Disappointed the fans! 😂


@essjayeff Yeah.


RT @charis: Hey Hong Kong nerds, I am going to this evening by @yow_conf, and so should you. It’s free!

@developerjack I’d assume < 5% just based on what I can see. 🙁


Keeping track of number of speakers and length of time before a woman appears on stage. (No, two women on slide don’t count.)


If it were me, I’d massage the numbers next year to end on 1337. (How do you count “capabilities” anyway?) #AWSSummit #oldschool https://t.co/SdW7UP8XOF


@candeira At these events, I feel like I’m living a parody life.


Werner was a great speaker and clearly brilliant – and would also himself make an excellent supervillain. (Hollywood – over to you.) https://t.co/IxsvwHcFbi



Important Note

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.
