@drwitty_knitter Third time this morning. 🙂


YESSSS! Nice one, @notsolonecoder! https://t.co/pDsj5rmG60


RT @zrail: @web_goddess I literally own https://t.co/2znoTDHawu but haven’t done anything with it. Too much time spent dealing with them.

1000 likes and still climbing. Clearly, we need to lobby the United Nations about timezones.


@GlowinskiRafal Three or four times. 🙂

The Snook: “It doesn’t run! ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!” 😡


@ArnaudEsteve Doesn’t work for calendar apps that need time zone support built in.

Another job description going around the @GGDSydney Slack today. Companies – don’t do this. Women notice. We remember. (I can’t even imagine a real person of any gender who’d want to work in this place…) https://t.co/LPNAuIGWMU


@warkolm @GGDSydney I do think they were right on the money with the assumption that it will appeal most to dudes living in their Mom’s basement.


I adore high-tech, beautiful futuristic fashion. This is *amazing*. https://t.co/l29vzXWjLO


@neil_killick Well played, sir. Well played. 👏


@emma_n_robbins @GGDSydney Right? Ugh.


Oh, and by the way? The company is in Sydney. This is happening *here*. https://t.co/RlHpv8bdCb


@damncabbage I wonder if they pay referrals with, like, slabs of beer.

@thepanta82 @tobyhede @GGDSydney Right, but this comes across less “unique office culture” and more “no smelly girls or wimps.” 🙄


@Simon_Lucy @bloodyquantum I can’t tweak the display, as I’m publishing a calendar file. I need to specify the time zone of the event. I also have to deal with dates coming from third parties.
