@philiplaureano 😱 That’s awful!
Ideation circle discussion happening! @gdcfpday https://t.co/6gNKZ8A54l
The folks with talk ideas are sharing for feedback before diving in to abstract writing! @gdcfpday https://t.co/IZLixSJbbx
Some folks who signed up at the last minute are working through ideation exercises with @IngaPflaumer! @gdcfpday https://t.co/XDcPVuISPF
Just heard a first conf talk idea from a newbie that is so brilliant I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first! 🤗 @gdcfpday
Mentor @ButenkoMe is on brand today – there’s a @NodeGirlsSydney coming up! @gdcfpday https://t.co/E04N0i94ty
SNACK TIME! Thank you @marlousteh and @yow_conf for keeping our carb levels up. 😂 @gdcfpday https://t.co/6KdSKZSuzS
Time to learn about crafting our bios from Danielle at @womentalkdesign! @gdcfpday https://t.co/d5IJ0j6liq
Shhhhhh! No one tell @the_snook. (I have a slight Pretzel Addiction.) https://t.co/33ilAjp008
RT @mobywhale: Writing your own bio is hard. Try asking someone else what you should be putting down! @gdcfpday
Feedback from a Sydney @gdcfpday attendee: “Something I learned – that everyone has a talk or ten in them!” ☺️❤️👏 https://t.co/uY3pKkOMeN
Now this is just ridiculous. Spotted from an upstairs window… https://t.co/MyEyjP5uXt

@KieranSatour @gdcfpday @indigitek Happy to run another session for @indigitek if you like!
@daamon_parker Consider how annoying it is for a person to always receive the same personal remark every single time they get in a cab. Read the replies from other Aussies who were questioned about their visa status. It’s not always an innocent question. 🙄

Bag adornment: new rainbow lightsaber pin thanks to @jpofoz! Also finally attached my patches. ❤️🌈 @canvalife https://t.co/iQBIyicNW9 https://t.co/qawNUy56DZ
A highly entertaining @yow_conf talk borne of @jennifermarsman’s marital discord. (Not really.) 😂 ❤️ https://t.co/wWm6UXXH0V
@betsybookworm https://t.co/fFRP6fY8BW I want everything in her store.
My 2018 resolution was to deal with the avalanche of notifications from @Meetup. You have to adjust each group’s settings individually, and I’m in a *lot* of groups. That results in hundreds of useless emails.
Last year I set up a rule in Gmail to just delete them. But for 2018, I removed the rule. The first notification I get for each group, I go in to adjust my settings for it. This has been ongoing for the past month.
I just counted how many clicks it takes me to turn off all the useless “Member says ‘good to see you!’” notifications for each group. It’s 18.
Given how many groups I’m in for my job, that will ultimately result in more than 4000 clicks. Thanks, @Meetup. 😐
@JessicaCGlenn HA! I hadn’t even thought of automating it. I was just gritting my teeth and hate-clicking through every single one. 😂
We’ve got a good-sized group registered for tomorrow’s @gdcfpday in Sydney, but there’s still room for more! https://t.co/cDA4C8fKES
@mootpointer Feels more like this, really. https://t.co/6NlGekSABQ
RT @MelissaKaulfuss: OMG this job amirite!
😭💔🎢😂❤️🔁
@JessicaCGlenn @xkcdComic True, but theoretically this should be a one-off purge. Hopefully once I’m done, never again!
Some men just want to watch the world burn. https://t.co/ka6zhFCnel
@richbuggy @JessicaCGlenn It’s a nice idea, but the API doesn’t support changing your notifications for a group. (I used it last year to build an auto-updating iCal feed.)
@twasink Well like I said, I already had a filter set up for all of last year. But that deletes *everything*, and I’d still like to get RSVPs when I actually, you know, sign up to go to an event. It’s just that 97% of the notifications are useless.
@soxyface @DevDiner WHAAAAAAT 😭 ❤️
❤️ Thanks to @DDDPerth and @dashperth for their lovely words!! https://t.co/0Z5Mtv7pTn
@jonoabroad I was referring to the n’er-do-well who has put the wrong helmet with the bike.
American Chop Suey from @seriouseats. It was like 50% cheese. 👌 “I’m going to get seconds, and then I’m going to hate myself,” quoth the Snook. https://t.co/mQmlZYSCH2 https://t.co/NJLMb6XiOK

Me: “Good morning!”
Taxify driver: “Is that an American accent I detect?”
Me: *audible loud groan”This will not be a 5 star trip for either of us.

@DDsD Yes.
Conference organisers are always excited to get talks that are different from the usual ones. And new folks just starting out are in a great position to do that. – Yes! Can concur. @gdcfpday https://t.co/JNkdBoUExJ

This is a good talk and you should watch it for @JoshuaKerievsky’s brilliant advice, but also – at the 10:00 mark there’s a little girl, a bicycle, and an excellent music cue that makes me want to cry and cheer. 👏 ❤️ 🚴♀️ @yow_conf https://t.co/Mfwh4el5KR
@yow_conf That one was for tweeting. 😂 I’m going to give it to my nephew.
