@charis I’m at the salon now. It’s my only chance to rest away from a computer. 😂

Web Accessible Brunsviga 13RK. Sends request to human operator, who uploads video to YouTube. Love it! https://t.co/5silyDKaAl #alexasydney https://t.co/L7LsEjlleS


Hearing about @acloudguru from @petehanssens. He just mentioned he’s coming along to @yow_conf #YOWData in a fortnight! #alexasydney https://t.co/sjCIjbntnf


DRINK! (First time @petehanssens mentioned Alexa and the Echo just chimed in.) 😂 #alexasydney


There are some challenges in building podcast skill for Alexa. For one, Alexa requires https so some podcasts must be proxied. #alexasydney https://t.co/rrdEgTOEK2


Alexa speaks slowly. When designing skills, keep responses short, don’t add too many steps, and don’t answer questions with questions. https://t.co/M6Up4WM8zY


@richbuggy @petehanssens They’re giving one away tonight, so can’t be far off…

Wow. I read this in a trashy magazine at the salon today, and it turned out to be TRUE! Score one for the gossip rags. https://t.co/HDGhbcaoys

@sdwagar 😂 I used to have a much treasured t-shirt with Bat Boy on it. ❤️🦇👶🏻

Genius way of making friends at an international tech event! Nice one @zarahjutz https://t.co/5PLtBjXYjD


@saberkite He’s holding out on you. I gave him like 4 extra hugs.


@gilmae American craft beer hipster trends trickling down to Oz. The Snook reckons “barrel-aged sours” are the next thing coming.


@FakeSamRitchie @mattdelves I think the @canva talk is about iOS too…


@gilmae You’re not wrong. Hoppiness went off the charts, like daring to make the bitterest beer possible. 🤢


I know I heard a tech talk from an Aussie woman game developer a few years back, but I can’t remember who. Help jog my memory, please!
