@thisismywww Pretty cool. I preferred it to the full VR headsets I tried.


Once again, Indiana lets me down. I wonder if they even bothered to count expat votes?


@thisismywww I was only playing with a demo REA app, which didn’t fill the whole FOV. So not really sure!

Suddenly this task is jumping to the top of the To Do list. https://t.co/Zp6PcYoJdy


Had several discussions this week about lack of diversity at CTO level in Australia. Why could it be? What can we do?


Then we see a qualified woman lose a job to an unmitigated dumpster fire of a man.


And then I get email from meetup organiser asking if I know any “girls” who’d speak on panel because they need some “femininity” in group.


I just can’t even. I despair.


And now my goddamn flight back to Sydney is delayed, so I’m stuck in an airport with my stomach in knots.


@knotty I’ve seen that many times. No, there are plenty of women CIOs. Age doesn’t explain it.


@tjbyte Did you contact any women? Did you look outside normal network? I’d be interested in CTO job. Whatever you’re doing it’s not working


For the record, these were rhetorical questions. I assure you, as a woman I’m pretty sure I know why. https://t.co/ZD8CIq2LOQ

@evanderkoogh Didn’t work, even with latest flight. But I did catch up with @markdalgleish this morning!


@evanderkoogh @markdalgleish You come to Sydney ALL THE TIME and don’t meet up with me!!!


They just announced that the flight delay has been lifted! Maybe today is not 100% The Worst.

(More like 99%.)


@kcm74 I can’t even bring myself to check our stocks. Who needs to retire, ever?


I am on a plane, and the past half hour with @Xavier_Ho has redeemed my faith in humanity a bit. It’ll be okay.
