    It’s been 5 years since my last #frocktober – far too long! I’m looking forward to pulling my dresses out of storage and seeing what sparks joy (and still fits!). Today was blisteringly hot in Sydney, so I started the month off with a ruffly floral sundress. 👗

    For those who haven’t seen me do this before, Frocktober is a fundraising campaign for the @ocrf Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. I’ve set a goal of raising $1500 (though my all-time record is $2350), and I’ll be wearing a dress every single day of the month. Link to donate is in my bio…

    I learned about the Dutch East Indies in school, but mostly in relation to Columbus and his “discovery” of America. It’s another thing entirely to actually visit them and learn about the history of these islands. I took the opportunity on my last morning here to see Jakarta on a private tour. My guide Nanda showed me Merdeka Square with the Indonesia National Monument (including the 50+ dioramas showing ID history), Jakarta Cathedral, Istiqlal Mosque (so gorgeous I’ll do a whole separate post for it), the Old Town (including the Town Hall of Batavia), a puppet studio (with traditional wayang puppets), and Sunda Kelapa Harbour. It was all fascinating, and I’m so glad I went! 🇮🇩


    The Istiqlal Mosque is the largest mosque in SE Asia. It’s very modern, featuring only two materials – local marble and stainless steel. I *loved * it. I don’t normally get this artsy with my photos, but every angle in this space was breathtaking. 🕌

    The AWS dress v2 (with matching sneakers) is making its world debut here today at AWS Cloud Day Indonesia! Come find me at the Developer Lounge if you want to check it out. I’ve even got special stickers… 👗❤️

    #AWSCloudDayID #awsdressv2 @amazonwebservices #bepeculiar


    Happy to report that the @sneakerkit shoes are more comfortable than I expected for an all day event! 👟 @amazonwebservices #bepeculiar #awsdressv2


    It’s all happening at the AWS Cloud Day Indonesia DevLounge today! We’ve had community sessions on building PaaS, k8s cost management, and deep learning, with more to come… #awsclouddayid


    Right at the end of Cloud Day Indonesia, this guy stopped me to ask about my AWS dress. While we were chatting, I noticed the company name on his badge. “Oh cool!” I said. “Bespin, from Star Wars! Cloud City!” His face lit up, and he marched me over to his booth to gift me some very special swag – a custom umbrella that lights up like a lightsaber in 7 different colours! 😍☂️ Sometimes it pays to be a geek…
