    @unixbigot @knitterjp @MichelePlayfair @mark_sabbatical Right now I’m listening to Electric Dreams Movie Soundtrack on Spotify. 🙂 https://t.co/rS0FRfCM7C https://t.co/MYVIJLiaAb


    RT @djbender: I’m a web developer specializing in Ruby on Rails, Javascript and a bunch of other things. I’m open to questions for those in…


    RT @yow_conf: We KNOW this happens, but… please remember our #YOWDATA & #YOWCONNECTED CFP closes 30 July https://t.co/8XG9Lztaku


    @yow_conf The videos mostly make me cringe. Every time I start a sentence with “…SO!” I die a little inside.


    @temptoetiam @pigworker @yow_conf Clearly it sounds better in his head! 😂


    The Snook doesn’t use emoji like other people use emoji. https://t.co/o0eyFgUQUr


    @darthted 💯 👏 😂


    @MrsBoogooloo @ignitesydney I think it did, but a placebo might’ve worked just as well. It was an incredibly light dose, so mostly just voodoo.


    It’s the last days of the @buzzconfio Call for Presenters. Submit a tech presentation or workshop quick https://t.co/DTXd0pUPUP #technology


    RT @pjf: Usually when I take a sip of water on stage, it’s not a dry throat; it’s because I’ve forgotten what I was about to say. #SpeakerC…


    @yow_conf @marlousteh @smithcdau Wow – looks like Redmart’s gonna have some competition!


    It’s a @webdirections @yow_conf crossover night of awesomeness! https://t.co/JpwwpKiJkR


    Great session with mentor today about struggle to avoid getting bogged in operational tasks instead of strategy. So helpful to hash it out.


    It helps to recognise common repeating patterns in my job history. Doing Things is fun! But you hit a ceiling in terms of impact on org.


    PACKED #IoTSydney meetup ready to learn from @unixbigot! https://t.co/Lxuapyc8e3


    Should’ve put the #yownight tag too. ☺️ https://t.co/T4osSSUQER


    I bought my Dad an IoT lightbulb for Christmas a few years back. I hope the Russians aren’t turning his lamps off. #IoTSydney #YOWNight 😳💡 https://t.co/Vwr7XzTCfX


    A casino got hacked via their wifi-enabled aquarium. “An actual FISHING ATTACK.” The room erupts… @unixbigot 🤣🐠 #IoTSydney #YOWNight


    IoT developers – don’t include lots of stuff you don’t need! Does that toaster really NEED a Telnet server? @unixbigot #YOWNight #IoTSydney https://t.co/cTWUWdSW7S


    Dear device manufacturers, “Provide updates or GTFO.” Well put. #IoTSydney #YOWNight @unixbigot https://t.co/cqcTF2hgsq


    I don’t know why @unixbigot put a photo of the Ghostbusters on his last slide, but I ❤️ it. #YOWNight #IoTSydney https://t.co/RbEp3o4Cer


    RT @unixbigot: Fabulous crowd at #IoTSydney to hear myself and @jim_mussared talk about IoT. https://t.co/KCptsqBw3R


    Okay, @jim_mussared has made me seriously want a BBC micro:bit. #IoTSydney https://t.co/Z955E1ua38


    He made a little ❤️! #IoTSydney https://t.co/xRMHhbUnMt


    @unixbigot Contributed some myself. 😉


    Nice shout out to @groklearning and all the good stuff they’re involved with – like https://t.co/5jH50EzSrN. Launched yesterday! #IoTSydney https://t.co/1dOK2PQwl7


    Look out, @unixbigot. Unpatched Internet aquarium! 😂 https://t.co/eJP5vfLZwY


    @robdmoore @darthted @stevelikesyou It’s all fairly specific to my current situation. But also things like delegation, setting boundaries, etc.


    This. Built websites all through uni; was too scared to do the CS degree. https://t.co/BvoJtK0Nge


    @azadehkhojandi @georgiecel @keandrews Talk to the speakers afterwards. That’s the best part! Don’t assume they don’t want to talk to you. 🙂


    @unixbigot My brother-in-law @carbocommander worked on that film! He’s in the credits and everything! 🙂


    Cute 3D-printed cat earrings from @ledgerstudio. Thanks Justin and Karynne! https://t.co/53TboJTSZG https://t.co/rack98l5vh


    That’d be @JustinMclean and his talented illustrator partner! 😻


    @azadehkhojandi @GGDSydney It was @JustinMclean who runs the #IoTSydney meetup!


    @azadehkhojandi BTW – I met one of your colleagues at the meetup tonight. He said he’d been working with you on a hack lately!


    @azadehkhojandi @dglover That’s the one! I spent some time convincing him to submit it for @yow_conf Connected. 😉


    @theoal @TacticalGrace That was pretty much the subtitle of @unixbigot’s talk!


    @notsolonecoder @jim_mussared Indeed! I namedropped you and @nickyringland right after he finished. 😂


    @charis @webdirections @yow_conf @triblondon Yes! So really you had a hand in bringing this all together too. ☺️


    RT @unixbigot: Thanks #IoTSydney, @JustinMclean @web_goddess and all at @yow_conf. I’ve had a blast ranting about Devops for IoT. DMs open…

    @gilmae It’s *terrible*. And the fact that so many people recommended it to me as something I’d enjoy… makes me feel bad.


    @gilmae My objection to the trailer was that it looked shitty in an entirely different, not true-to-the-book way.


    @gilmae It looks like it takes everything annoying about the book and makes it EVEN WORSE.


    @knitterjp @unixbigot I am definitely going to be using it in a future talk about computational creativity. 🙂

    Heading home. Again. (@ T3 (Domestic – Virgin Australia & Regional Express) Terminal in Tullamarine, VIC) https://t.co/SI59f5ZDrP


    @LukeSleeman @mattdelves Sorry to hear it. You’re awesome and deserve to be happy!


    RT @dimeford: You: so what’s Hell like in your religion?

    Me: https://t.co/CKJk9jMiSB


    RT @johnallsopp: Hey men. Read this. Then despair. Then feel ashamed. Then let’s do better eh? https://t.co/tR33OdwToy


    For some reason, I’m more nervous about this talk than I’ve been about any in a long while. I don’t wanna let you down, Perth! 😳 https://t.co/SII98LfNGT


    @aoife_circuit @thoughtworks @yow_conf Thanks Aiofe! It was lovely to meet you. 🙂


    RT @sallyjayjohnson: Trans friends: you are not a disruption or a burden.


    #SpeakerConfessions I was so nervous before @ignitesydney that I took a beta blocker to calm down. 💊 My only drugged talk.


    @andee_marks @ignitesydney Oh yeah, for meetups and such, I find there’s a sweet spot of confidence after one beer. 😁


    Still some spots available for tonight’s #iotsydney meetup! https://t.co/WCyJfXwyNh

    RT @lucykbain: One more spot available for Saturday’s Classy Coding with @WWCodeSydney! https://t.co/TYLAKqgRlY


    @KirrilyDavis @RMcKergow @elabor8 Just boarded flight. Lands at 12:30, so prob there around 1:30-2ish? Just need somewhere to work for a couple hours 🙂


    @jfenton @elabor8 That’s officially the most welcoming building in Melbourne. 😂 Thanks…


    @KirrilyDavis @RMcKergow @elabor8 Be there very soon! 😁


    @RMcKergow @KirrilyDavis @elabor8 Already here! Steph sorted me out. 🙂


    RT @eryno: Best way to get more women at your conference?

    Get women in your social circles well before you “need” them.


    Just about to head out to this. If you’re there, say hi! https://t.co/jclqHHEbcF


    I’ll be at this one too, Sydney! 🙂 https://t.co/WCyJfXwyNh


    Kicking off tonight’s #devopsmelbourne. Lots of people here on a cold, rainy night! https://t.co/ckbT9hxTqA


    “IoT devices are like vampires. Once you bring them into your house, you have no power over them.” 😂 @unixbigot at #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/6XJWDKpHbl


    Every time I see @unixbigot talk about IoT security it’s different… mostly because there’s new security threat every month. #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/tg9KfKaFMc


    An IoT researcher found an unpatched IoT camera placed online was hacked in, on average, 70 seconds. 😱 #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/8hHdrZbj9Z


    “When everything is a computer, either everyone is a sysadmin, or no one.” Wisdom from @unixbigot #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/1aMAGwdJFq


    Every negative point is followed by “…it’s almost as if we need devops!” 😂 #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/wottYjwVtt


    Nice shout out to @unclebobmartin’s @yow_conf 2016 talk “The Scribe’s Oath.” https://t.co/0lFpNRzYNR #devopsmelbourne https://t.co/shCN9jfwuS


    It’s like a very, very nerdy version of Fight Club. https://t.co/1FuYAtjL6O


    We’re watching Electric Dreams, and this dude in like 1982 just “networked” all his appliances and then got locked in his flat! @unixbigot https://t.co/oo02k3X321


    @whereismytaco @unixbigot @yow_conf Thanks for having us! Such a great group. 😁

    @FakeSamRitchie That was the year I learned to make animated gifs. 🙂 Lots more screengrabs over the years here! https://t.co/uHXLBWWFb4


    @lathiat @FakeSamRitchie TRENT, THIS IS THE GREATEST WEBSITE EVER. “^-KewLGuY-^ will later be adding a flash
    interface to the site.” ❤️ Pls leave it online forever!


    @lathiat @FakeSamRitchie UTE APPRECIATION?! 😍 These are the best niche sites ever. See, this is what we’ve lost. This is the Internet I miss and cherish.


    RT @FakeSamRitchie: @lathiat @web_goddess Here’s my shame from ’99: https://t.co/3tQN731dmK


    RT @lathiat: @web_goddess @FakeSamRitchie Through some miracle.. my first website untouched since 2000 is still online at it’s original URL…


    @FakeSamRitchie @lathiat I would so be there. There was a whole talk at SydJS recently *presented* in Navigator. It was beautiful.


    RT @unixbigot: Tonight is the Brisbane IoT Meetup. Two talks, plus the chance to win a free ticket for YOW! Connected conference. https://…


    @zarahjutz That song came up on Spotify the other day and we just started yelling LANAAAAA at each other.


    Ooh, @DDDPerth agenda is out! Congrats to @the_nathanjones, @the_patima, @FakeSamRitchie (THE PANTSLESS TALK) and others for getting picked!


    @DDDPerth @the_nathanjones @the_patima @FakeSamRitchie Well, okay. Pants-OPTIONAL.


    @the_nathanjones @DDDPerth @the_patima @FakeSamRitchie You made me choke on my bickie. 🤣


    @MelissaKaulfuss @jojoconstance I had the chance but was to afraid to do it. Regrets – I have them.


    Trying to watch #talkthethrones on @PeriscopeCo and it just buffers forever. So frustrating. @ringer please publish as a podcast!


    Melburnians – any recommendations for a drop-in coworking space in the CBD? Or anyone have a spare desk I can use for the day?


    @RMcKergow @elabor8 Ah, elabor8 would be *perfect*. I land at 12:30, so please let me know. 🙂


    RT @hogfish: @techgirl1908 In Sydney, this Thursday.
    https://t.co/Lt5KhUMgKs


    @charrett @hogfish @just_lecking @techgirl1908 @naylor_j Do you know @sir_tilbrook? He films a lot of meetups in Sydney. He may be available!


    @andykelk Awww, thank you! I’ve got a lead on a CBD desk, but I may take you up on it if it doesn’t pan out.


    @mattdelves @Teamsquare Oh, thanks. @Teamsquare – do you have day rates?


    @hannahcancode What’s I’m Feeling Lucky radio??


    @KirrilyDavis @RMcKergow @elabor8 Heh, was going to email your boss to check it was ok. 😂

    Paul N – They’re showing Australian Ninja Warrior on the TV at my office, and I swear I thought this dude was you. Had to do a double-take!


    I’m giving the “locknote” at the end of the day! 😳
