    Thanks @markc for showing me around the new @Domaincomau offices today. Stunning!


    @gilmae It was a building to store wool in Pyrmont. Not an actual shop. 😂 Should’ve clarified!


    @gilmae Well, it was that too!


    This was already one of my favourite possessions. ☺ Thanks @mcgregor_ewan. https://t.co/7ucNswFlTo https://t.co/52hAKNZqpb


    @cameron_rogers Meetings. That’s where I’m a Viking!


    @_zouhir Come on – spill!!


    One step closer to my talk show!! 🤣 https://t.co/wDwEJtiEFA


    @philiplaureano Hey Phil! No prob – they’re linked on the individual West and LJ pages: https://t.co/gltyRTfaZH https://t.co/11K1Bdqe65


    @philiplaureano Crap I’m so sorry; it was definitely there. Let me find out why link has gone missing. 🙁


    @philiplaureano Ahhh, it’s actually at the bottom of the submission guidelines. That’s kind of buried. 🙁


    TIL something new about Star Wars. Huh. https://t.co/m7sFQnw4KN


    @philiplaureano Brilliant. Now please keep poking @markc until he submits one. 😂


    @damncabbage If you wanna do the former, you can submit for YOW West right now. Would love to have you there! 🙂 https://t.co/gltyRTfaZH


    @glenngillen Would love to! Unfortunately I’m going to be overseas then. I’ll get to one sometime. 🙂

    RT @yow_conf: Did you catch @thepaulrayner’s Eventstorming talk at #yow16? @web_goddess chats with him abt returning to Oz https://t.co/dqM…


    @damncabbage @thsutton @jedws I’ll try to catch someone’s eye!


    #FPSyd kicking off with @HuwASP talking about neural networks in Haskell. @ambiata https://t.co/mpDDOTnkrH


    Heh. @HuwASP trained a neural network on Shakespeare. #FPSyd https://t.co/r0ibtDIMfK


    Other UG organisers: #FPSyd does something brilliant – get speakers to commit in person to giving a talk later in the year! https://t.co/OSc29r9QXM


    Next at #FPSyd – Ben Lippmeier talking about closure conversion and garbage collection in DDC. https://t.co/M8qmZadzop


    “This language is called Salt… because it’s what you get when you leave C [sea] out in the sun for too long.” 😂 #FPSyd


    Everyone is delighted to learn about “broken heart pointers”. 💔 #FPSyd https://t.co/mKMx0GanKi


    #FPSyd now gets my vote as the most in-depth tech talks I’ve seen at a meetup group. I didn’t follow much, but I learned some stuff.


    @MelissaKaulfuss @juniordev_io @_iankhor_ Same. Mine was full of arcane git commands. 😂


    @natashamitchell I enjoyed it. I found it uplifting, but I didn’t have super high expectations. The Oscar noms may hurt it there.

    What @sallyannw said! So thrilled to have helped out these women in even a tiny way. 🙂 Thanks @nic_hazell @BlueChilliGroup @shestarts https://t.co/zuIOFeAKPU


    I’m the newest Guardian member https://t.co/zeV9wzjgWb #guardianmembers // Realisation: First time I’ve ever subscribed to a newspaper. 😳


    RT @msharp: Time to sign up for @SydCSS next week! https://t.co/wql3D6P9Uc


    @Malarkey Just realised I must’ve missed something – you guys are moving here?! Really truly??


    @Malarkey Wow, congrats! Thrilled for you both and can’t wait to take you for dinner when you get settled. 😀

    I just realised – as someone who came of age in the era of free online news, this is the first time in my life I’ve ever subscribed to newspaper. (And I even used to work for one!)


    I realise that this is a very tiny thing among all the worse things that are happening, but we already have to put up with Rodd getting photographed and finger-printed every time we visit the US. If that situation gets worse, I suspect a lot of Australians (including us) will take our tourist dollars elsewhere.


  • YOW! 2016 Interview

    That brings me one step closer to having my own talk show. 😂

    Excited to hear from Michael Leung about faster, better storage and how it makes computation faster. @DellEMCDSSD @pivotallabs https://t.co/0EIqfNctTN


    Wow. @DellEMCDSSD were able to reduce time for a particular cancer care process from 11 days to 6 hours. Literally life-saving tech. https://t.co/MOdJrRuIwG


    .@lgarulli starts his talk with a stark warning: 60% of Big Data projects will fail in 2017. @OrientDB @pivotallabs https://t.co/OG9zAuDmf5


    Big Data projects fail for lots of reasons. The big ones are complexity and budget. @lgarulli @OrientDB https://t.co/H6mqvsFpea


    I definitely spot some familiar local names using @OrientDB… @sonatype @FOXSportsAUS https://t.co/assHNADU8e


    @Malarkey My Dad is going to be very scornful of that news. It’s Clint or nothing.


    RT @GuardianAus: We broke the Panama Papers story. Our next mission: Donald Trump https://t.co/Nkals7r6g9


    @Malarkey I’m fairly certain “right turn, Clyde” was the first sentence he taught me to say.


    @The_McJones Boooo. Pickles are THE BEST. I have a jar from Costco the size of a small child in my fridge.

    @glasnt @pycon My knitting talk got accepted too! I’m still kind of in shock. 🙂


    @incunabulista @glasnt I have a feeling it might be the final time for this talk. I’ll have given it a lot by then!


    @mmastertheone The rest of the world is catching on! Knitters love puns. 🙂


    I could sit in this converted old wool store all day. https://t.co/nWJXdXFNBC https://t.co/n9kgQ3aT72

    If you want to know more about Google Cloud (who are finally launching a local PoP in Australia this year), you should come along to this event in a few weeks. Lynn’s an expert on all three major cloud platforms so she’s a fantastic person to learn from!

    Whoa! My talk was one of @jase_thomas’s favourites. 😊 https://t.co/lvnD8ZsAIC


    @jase_thomas I think I did the very short lightning talk version for that one. I’m glad you liked it! 🙂


    @TheRealBnut I carry two of ’em when I go to speak anywhere just in case they don’t have them. But I have very rarely had to use them.


    @pelagikat I’ve been there before! Beautiful place. Looks like a great day for it too.

    @fendersperth I’m coming to Perth! Just RSVPed for the meetup on the 8th. 💃

    @gilmae @randomknits I haven’t had alcohol or sugar (beyond fruit) ALL MONTH, SO YOU CAN BOTH SUCK IT. (Sorry. Detox rage.)


    @gilmae @randomknits You about you eat an apple instead of a doughnut and see how you like it? #hangry


    @LinkedInHelp I can’t seem to login. Keep getting error that email is not recognised, but reset password form works fine.


    @LinkedInHelp …and suddenly it’s back. Must’ve been a glitch in the matrix. 🙂


    @ewebber That is some chunky wool! Never gets cold enough to need it here. Looks great!!
