A highly entertaining @yow_conf talk borne of @jennifermarsman’s marital discord. (Not really.) 😂 ❤️ https://t.co/wWm6UXXH0V
@betsybookworm https://t.co/fFRP6fY8BW I want everything in her store.
My 2018 resolution was to deal with the avalanche of notifications from @Meetup. You have to adjust each group’s settings individually, and I’m in a *lot* of groups. That results in hundreds of useless emails.
Last year I set up a rule in Gmail to just delete them. But for 2018, I removed the rule. The first notification I get for each group, I go in to adjust my settings for it. This has been ongoing for the past month.
I just counted how many clicks it takes me to turn off all the useless “Member says ‘good to see you!’” notifications for each group. It’s 18.
Given how many groups I’m in for my job, that will ultimately result in more than 4000 clicks. Thanks, @Meetup. 😐
@JessicaCGlenn HA! I hadn’t even thought of automating it. I was just gritting my teeth and hate-clicking through every single one. 😂
We’ve got a good-sized group registered for tomorrow’s @gdcfpday in Sydney, but there’s still room for more! https://t.co/cDA4C8fKES
@mootpointer Feels more like this, really. https://t.co/6NlGekSABQ
RT @MelissaKaulfuss: OMG this job amirite!
😭💔🎢😂❤️🔁
@JessicaCGlenn @xkcdComic True, but theoretically this should be a one-off purge. Hopefully once I’m done, never again!

@richbuggy @JessicaCGlenn It’s a nice idea, but the API doesn’t support changing your notifications for a group. (I used it last year to build an auto-updating iCal feed.)
@twasink Well like I said, I already had a filter set up for all of last year. But that deletes *everything*, and I’d still like to get RSVPs when I actually, you know, sign up to go to an event. It’s just that 97% of the notifications are useless.
@soxyface @DevDiner WHAAAAAAT 😭 ❤️
❤️ Thanks to @DDDPerth and @dashperth for their lovely words!! https://t.co/0Z5Mtv7pTn
@jonoabroad I was referring to the n’er-do-well who has put the wrong helmet with the bike.

First workshops of the day are in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia!

Me: “Good morning!”
Taxify driver: “Is that an American accent I detect?”
Me: *audible loud groan”
This will not be a 5 star trip for either of us.

@DDsD Yes.
Conference organisers are always excited to get talks that are different from the usual ones. And new folks just starting out are in a great position to do that. – Yes! Can concur. @gdcfpday https://t.co/JNkdBoUExJ
