Hey Melbs! @yow_conf is holding a tech workshop for KIDS with @SaraJChipps from @jewelbots! 💎🤖❤️ Learn more here: https://t.co/jju7eBRt47

---

@gilmae I thought you’d like that.

---

@SaraJChipps @yow_conf @jewelbots Can you bring a Jewelbot for me? I want to do the workshop too! 😂

---

@johnallsopp For some reason I read it as Bell Jar, and I thought you were being very dark in an obscure way. 😂

---

@Squire_Matt @yow_conf On it. Cheers!

---

@charis Yay! You’ll be fantastic. 🙂

RT @TheTinaVasquez: BLOOP. https://t.co/BSFLQ0wKXL

@swjest @yow_conf I’m not on the Program Committee, but it looks to be a 3-person tag-team presentation.

---

@swjest @yow_conf The website doesn’t show that well. It’s a new system; I’ve just raised a bug to the team. So thanks for that!

---

@dp_lewis @200ok The JIRA equivalent of “did you rule out lupus?” 😂

Robots in disguise! Do you see it? (Shadow knitting is basically lenticular.) 🤖❤️ https://t.co/1oOSDRbCtf https://t.co/NDGcvlfgWF

Dammit. Who’s the recommended replacement for @stickermule these days? https://t.co/FlBhdTmFs0

@dietrich @stickermule @stickerhd @stickergiant @stickerrobot How about for Australia?

---

@chainedchaos31 @porges 👋 Somebody was asking me for recommendations of local women in games for a tech event, and I was gonna say you. But you’re gone!

---

*gulp* Working on my talk now… https://t.co/3sO2h8N0am

---

@chainedchaos31 @porges No, no, not me! Was just recommending someone to speak at a tech event. If you know any local women in games, please let me know!

Hearing about @acloudguru from @petehanssens. He just mentioned he’s coming along to @yow_conf #YOWData in a fortnight! #alexasydney https://t.co/sjCIjbntnf

---

DRINK! (First time @petehanssens mentioned Alexa and the Echo just chimed in.) 😂 #alexasydney

---

There are some challenges in building podcast skill for Alexa. For one, Alexa requires https so some podcasts must be proxied. #alexasydney https://t.co/rrdEgTOEK2

---

Alexa speaks slowly. When designing skills, keep responses short, don’t add too many steps, and don’t answer questions with questions. https://t.co/M6Up4WM8zY

---

@richbuggy @petehanssens They’re giving one away tonight, so can’t be far off…

---

@richbuggy @petehanssens Tell @JedWatson he needs to have more door prizes at his meetup so I go to that one instead. 😉

Wow. I read this in a trashy magazine at the salon today, and it turned out to be TRUE! Score one for the gossip rags. https://t.co/HDGhbcaoys

@saberkite He’s holding out on you. I gave him like 4 extra hugs.

@gilmae American craft beer hipster trends trickling down to Oz. The Snook reckons “barrel-aged sours” are the next thing coming.

---

@FakeSamRitchie @mattdelves I think the @canva talk is about iOS too…

---

@gilmae You’re not wrong. Hoppiness went off the charts, like daring to make the bitterest beer possible. 🤢

---

I know I heard a tech talk from an Aussie woman game developer a few years back, but I can’t remember who. Help jog my memory, please!

Looking at upcoming tech meetups, and damn, Sydney is so fragmented. There are fully SEVENTEEN meetups happening on the 12th. 😕 https://t.co/pVUd11PvY0

@afcowie I guarantee you there’s a recruiter registering that group on @Meetup right now. 🙂

---

LOL I went to ESPN to see predictions for ND v. Temple and scrolled to the comments… 😂 @carbocommander https://t.co/wW3OpmAwsg

@GLITCHAUS What’s the sizing like? How large is Large?

---

@GRobilliard @lachlanhardy @danmedcraft @stevelikesyou I was at a tech event last night talking to someone griping about recruiters. “Except for Lookahead,” he added grudgingly. “They’re good.” 😘

---

@saramic Most imp. question – is it hand knit? Check seams inside. Some machine knits will be cut and sewn together, so you won’t get long strands.

---

@saramic Once you unpick seams, you should be able to unravel from the top downwards (unless it was knitted top-down, in which case reverse).

---

@saramic Then get or fashion a niddy noddy so you can wind hanks: https://t.co/nmANNcXBqz. Give the hanks a soak in the tub to relax the kinks.

---

@saramic Then wind into new balls and knit away! 🙂
