    @yow_conf @Amys_Kapers @YOWLambdaJam @unixbigot @FakeSamRitchie I thought he was in double digits? That maybe counting all three stops for YOW though.

    @martinabbott Hm. I dunno. I’m skeptical it would just be used to serve ads to me, plus I imagine getting annoyed at even more folks wandering around following invisible arrows. I vote for a special day when only organised folks are allowed to shop. ๐Ÿ˜›


    @Meligy Meligy! What’s up with all the tweets!? Overload…

    @Meligy I had to unfollow you – some app is posting dozens and dozens of automated tweets as you every 10-20 minutes! Will refollow when you fix it ๐Ÿ™‚


    Always suspected my stupidly high prescription made my eyes look smaller. Today I realised I had the technology to prove it. ๐Ÿ˜• (Back to my contact lenses…) https://t.co/IbuDbxlPQa


    @gilmae I moved my head slightly on the second photo so I had to zoom it to get the same head size. I used guides. (It was a highly scientific process.)


    @brianleroux You wear lenses now? I think I’ve gotta take these off; they’re giving me a headache.


    @Meligy Phew! And I’m follow you again. ๐Ÿ™‚


    LazyTwitter: what Australian companies are doing cool things with enterprise IoT? (I’m sure @mattallen has some ideas….)


    @mattallen @MOVUSFitMachine @blackbirdvc @xysense_io Nope – let’s just say I’m doing a bit of research around a potential future tech event. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @mattallen @MOVUSFitMachine @blackbirdvc @xysense_io Those ones are awesome though, thank you! Basically looking to for anyone in Oz doing cool things in various IoT enterprise verticals.


    @JamesKingsmill @mattallen @Jack_Simpson Oh that’s very cool, thanks!


    @polleyg @mattallen CONNECTED VINEYARD? Sir, I salute you. (No, I didn’t know about that one!) ๐Ÿ˜ That’s awesome!


    @DeveloperSteve @lorderikir @mattallen @telstradev Dude, you were like the second one I wrote down, of course.

    This @WWCSyd workshop is less about Scala and more about practicing some common FP concepts. Happy to report that bits of my @queenslandfplab Haskell course are coming back to me!


    @kevdesign @unixbigot @BrisJS Ooh, thanks! Was just about to email you with a link to some slides, if you want ’em. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Okay, with his appearance at @YOWLambdaJam this year, @unixbigot has to be challenging @FakeSamRitchie in terms of number of @yow_conf events spoken at, right?! ๐Ÿ˜ต

    @developerjack @WordPress Thanks. I’m wary given that I only just took the WordPress plunge a few years back, and having a re-migrate (or at least, test and potentially tweak) 1400 pages and 600+ posts involving custom functions and shortcodes isn’t appealing. โ˜น๏ธ

    Back to it! Step 10 – sew back darts. https://t.co/mCOa4q4Aob


    Step 11 – prep button and buttonhole plackets. Mine are grown on and seamless. (Less work!) https://t.co/mXsZLcKbLo


    Step 12 – time for a yoke burrito! Such a cool technique to hide all the yoke and shoulder seams. https://t.co/h3Tj0LIeXR


    Step 13 – starting the sleeves! Cuff guard attached. https://t.co/JKHi55HIRz


    Step 14 – folding and attaching the sleeve placket! https://t.co/NqKmIgROdd


    RT @JodiMcA: S3 is CLEARLY the best. Like, how there opinions other than this. #PaceysCreek https://t.co/Vm594I9Urd


    @tesshilsob I donโ€™t love this particular technique as it results in a small bit of raw edge on the inside. I know Colette does a single piece one – I might go back to the for the next one. https://t.co/Q8opaFLh8m


    Step 15 – setting in the sleeves! https://t.co/mpaRmq7O8R


    Step 16 – flat-felling the armhole seam. This means encasing the seam allowance so itโ€™s totally clean on the inside! https://t.co/A8lTAwWhK0


    @j__st Heya! I’m trying the slashed hem on this Simon, and the docs don’t cover that. Anything special I should know?


    @j__st Will do. I’m reading this: https://t.co/DmgmCZJYIB. Seems like having a small raw bit at the top of the vent is unavoidable with a French seam.


    @j__st Ooh, that’s fun. Maybe I’ll do that. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @j__st I’ve got a doc bug report for you too! The captions on the images on Simon Step 8 are incorrect. They refer to yokes instead of darts.


    @emd3737 You guys have been away foreverrrrrrrr!


    RT @GLITCHAUS: mach_kernel @ 2bpp – #JeffDonaldson 2017: ~10mb of data woven pixel to stitch in 4 colors 5โ€™ 10โ€x11โ€™ 6โ€ – on view now at Easโ€ฆ


    @j__st I was tempted to submit a PR but I wasn’t sure where. ๐Ÿ˜‚ By the way – is there a change log for patterns anywhere? I notice this Simon is a much later version than my earlier and I’m curious to know what changed.


    @j__st ON IT!


    If you are wondering why I don’t take sewing commissions, this thread is why. I’ve got about 15 hours invested so far in this project, and I’m still not done. At my hourly rate, it makes for a very expensive garment. ๐Ÿค‘ https://t.co/45mDKo4DcO


    Step 17 – sewing side seams. https://t.co/fyXyrbwxen


    Step 18 – fit check. YAY! Getting there. ๐Ÿ˜ https://t.co/Nzh55LzzSY


    You might think I am embarrassed by my office nerdery displayed in this photo. You would be wrong. I’m only annoyed that Rodd’s head blocks my autographed Captain Typho to complete the Star Wars trifecta! https://t.co/TCKtdsuWWI


    @Thriobologist Not in the slightest! ๐Ÿ˜‚


    @minxdragon Check out https://t.co/tUHQZmPPdK. It’s really clever. I also love that none of the patterns are gendered – the software just takes into account whether breasts are involved or not. (I gotta say – it’s so much nicer sewing for someone without boobs.)


    Step 19 – flat-felling the side/sleeve seams. This includes the tricky (but secretly enjoyable) bit where you sew down *inside* the sleeve, inch by inch. Best armpit finish Iโ€™ve ever done! ๐Ÿ˜ https://t.co/4ld7whWHek


    @minxdragon Yup. You just upload the measurements, fork the pattern, and it generates a draft exactly to your specs. I’m about to submit some PRs to Github for it too. ๐Ÿ˜ Sewing + nerdery LOVE.


    @j__st I *think* I just submitted a PR. (This will be my second ever open source contribution!)


    TFW you finish a day of sewing by submitting a PR for the docs to help others. ๐Ÿ˜‡ https://t.co/J2mL9xOq9E (Thanks @j__st!)


    @Mandy_Kerr @hj_chen I want to attend this party!


    @gilmae I think so. I remember a quote about it being weird to have the power to basically boot somebody from the Internet.
