    The fact that, in 2017, I still have to write BBcode just to put a link onto @Meetup enrages me. [rage]WHYYYYY??[/rage] https://t.co/pfDdDTyUTf

    Another way to get a big cheer – announce a seasoning “that makes anything taste like bacon!” 😱🥓 @dseasonings @startmate #Startmate https://t.co/sjBxH5xASE


    @Holly_Stephens Straight back from the screen, in front of the balustrade!

    @johnbarton What, like one of those bottles from a minibar?


    I met Kim & Kelley Deal when they came to knitting shop 10 yrs ago. Hilariously, I didn’t recognise them at first. https://t.co/Py0x40DfA8


    @puffnfresh @queenslandfplab Damn. I’ll be in Bris the week after! Will it happen again in the future? This is part of my dev plan; would love to do it at some point.


    @puffnfresh @queenslandfplab @dibblego I’m sure I could help with that! (Actually, we’ve talked about maybe doing an “intro day” at LJ next year. We should talk…)


    @RMcKergow @evanderkoogh I’m coming to visit you in two weeks, Ryan. Speaking at the IoT meetup on 23rd, and Ruby meetup on 24th!

    @MichelePlayfair Aussie companies are working on these tools right now. I’m excited! Every layer of abstraction is scary, but things are too complex now

    @lisaaharrison1 LOL. It looks like @stephenlead didn’t like my original title. 😛


    @stephenlead I was serious about Total Eclipse of the Heart 😂


    @stephenlead Too cryptic?


    @teaaddict13 I think it triggered an anxiety attack that night that I’m not qualified for any more senior roles. Ugh. 😕


    Day 5. MOAR red! Stefanie dress from @heartofhaute. #frocktober #frocktober2017 https://t.co/m1kGCGdNO0 https://t.co/pIraeStzDz


    RT @DennisCalero: I adapted it. https://t.co/iYhARRkT6h


    @bringer128 @kbladow We are not acquainted! Thanks for that. 🙂 Hi Kate! 👋 This is me: https://t.co/fbqlOFEXnn.


    @teaaddict13 Thank you! 😊


    @stephenlead That’s why it’s GENIUS.


    @Gaohmee Lovely story. 🙂


    @stephenlead Oohhhh, and it goes so well with @minus34’s title too!


    @minus34 @stephenlead See, I was thinking that too! (I hope you follow through on the theme and invoke Lenny Bruce, Lester Bangs, and Leonid Brezhnev in yours.)

    Bought my first printable pattern from @McCallPatternCo. Jesus, never again. Password sent in plaintext, had to install dodgy DRM viewer. 😡 https://t.co/pdFELerrQ2


    @McCallPatternCo Also, this website is clearly from 1996.


    @McCallPatternCo Not to mention that I made the purchase 2 days ago. 2 days!


    @McCallPatternCo Knitters have solved this. If this had been a knitting pattern, I’d have casted on two days ago.


    @LizlingC @McCallPatternCo Knitters use plain old PDF. It works great. I won’t be buying one of these again. (If anybody wants to disrupt an industry, HERE’S ONE.)


    @swapnilogale It *was* Stickermule, but their CEO is a Trump supporter so never again. Going to try https://t.co/GLa3FecsT4 for the next lot.


    @JessicaCGlenn @DomesticMouse @sallyannw @scruzin I borrowed a working pair from a friend to dress as a Glasshole for a fancy dress party a few months back. @lemon_lime – looking to sell? 🙂


    How many developers does it take to restart an AV system? 😂 Ouch. @NodeSydney


    Yay!! We’re kicking off the newly renamed @NodeSydney with host @asyncadventures. #nodesydney https://t.co/K1GlTFBav1


    Big crowd excited to learn about functional programming in JavaScript from @bachstatter! #nodesydney @NodeSydney https://t.co/Lsszwn28tu


    Learning about lenses and currying. Huh. I’ve actually picked up a *lot* about FP this year! Thanks @jedws and @KenScambler. @NodeSydney https://t.co/8CnCjhMY22


    @msharp @CommBank What room is that? I only know the small one over looking Darling Harbour! 😱


    @mjhilton_ Congrats!!


    @simonraikallen @developerjack @jadacormier <marquee> or GTFO.


    Now to hear why you can’t do two things at the same time. “More for the guys in the audience…” 😂 @jsscclr @NodeSydney https://t.co/Tq2HqpAlXd


    If you really want to shoot yourself in the foot (ie use threads in Node), you can… says @jsscclr. 👞🔫 #nodesydney @NodeSydney https://t.co/YNnMN23UGU


    @amanda_melb @yow_conf @lindaliukas It definitely hasn’t sold out! Was it actually online? I think they’re still working out the logistics…


    @amanda_melb @yow_conf @lindaliukas Not sure, TBH, but I’ll do my best to find out for you tomorrow. All I know is that it’s not been opened for registration yet!


    @McCallPatternCo It was a McCall’s, but the issue is with the whole PrintSew website and experience. There was no layout guide! I have to print 110 pages?


    @McCallPatternCo And having to install an app with “Lizard” in the name from a dodgy looking website did not install confidence. I was worried it was a scam.


    @starbuxman @JavaOneConf LOL. I was just feeling frazzled at upcoming 4 talks in 1 week, in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. You put things in perspective. 😜


    @evanderkoogh OH HELLS YES.

    @JenStosser It was a McCall’s pattern. As someone with a measure of tech skills… let’s just say I was able to fix the issues on my own. 😉


    @JenStosser But still super annoying. I’ll be going back to indie designers instead.
