@_michelleerica @VoxxedMelbourne Oh thanks! This one wasn’t recorded, but previous versions have been. Here’s one from a year ago: https://t.co/Qck6Pp1odZ
RT @starbuxman: I got to see my pal @web_goddess @VoxxedMelbourne – thank you so much @voxxed. It was a rare privelege to present there and…
@JanelleCShane WHOA! Thank you so much – I’m such a fan of your work. The new version includes SkyKnit (Soto Whale eldritch horror still makes me laugh). 😂

Greek “bento box”?? Don’t mind if I do! 😁👏 (Thanks @frankarrigo for the recommendation!) https://t.co/V0Zcwbfjiu https://t.co/ZgjeSSoqna
@lynnlangit @FrankArrigo So good. We’ll have to take you next time you’re in Melbs!
Highlight of my week: I started off my @VoxxedMelbourne talk yesterday by talking about Ted Nelson and this quote. Afterwards an attendee said he’s been working with Ted on Project Xanadu for 30 years (!) and would tell him about my talk (!!) and how “tickled” he’d be (!!!) 😊 https://t.co/NaeEaZoBwq
@jamonholmgren Thanks for sharing the quote and video – really was perfect for my topic!
@jamonholmgren They didn’t record yesterday’s, but there’s an older version here: https://t.co/Qck6Pp1odZ. I rewrote the intro and used Ted’s quote to explain why I was the closing keynote at a tech Conf.
Thanks to @craigles75 for inviting me to the @seekjobs hackathon kickoff! They really go all out. Impressed already by ideas from @annakelk, @Hatchman76 , and @shelleglee. 👏 https://t.co/zpqsnfuSZS

RT @eDilettante: Melbourne currently under attack by Pacman rainstorm… #Melbweather https://t.co/gR8w5GEoft
@The_McJones I want the reverse. What game pairs well with a Negroni?
@Amys_Kapers I use Knit Counter Lite, which has ability to create arbitrary counters. Is that what you mean? https://t.co/f2myyJ4DIZ
Until next time, Melbourne!! 👋 https://t.co/bHOzG2PfXl https://t.co/hAuvlKnynR
@The_McJones I will be testing the sommelier’s recommendation on my flight home!
@chixors I will! (And when you get a chance, I’d love the colour numbers of wool in blanket. Thinking of knitting or crocheting on a border to embiggen it!)
@the_patima @codemania Yay! So thrilled for you. You’re gonna smash it and make us all proud. 😁
The Strict, Subtle Rules of a Hey Ladies! Email https://t.co/p2KdOmgl1W // Oh god, THIS, except it’s an email thread about planning a knitted blanket for someone’s baby shower, and it’s 100+ emails long, and by the end you want to kill yourself.

How legitimate is digital art? Is it still Art when your brush is an algorithm controlled by a generative adversarial network? Mind-provoking stuff from @minxdragon. @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/02lJpVOyq6
@kytrinyx Noooooo. 😂
@paulangov @dius_au @voxxed Yes – seen a lot of folks rocking DiUS shirts!
Whoa. A *new* tag team talk from @springrod and @starbuxman?! You’re a lucky audience, @VoxxedMelbourne! #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/FktHo8Pnpc
Heh. @starbuxman confesses that the delay in writing Cloud Native Java was mainly in arguing over which animal went on the cover. 😂 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/Kl9pTk5fBF
There it is.

ChatOps is happening! @springrod is demoing how to use @atomist, @github, and @SlackHQ to make deploying to Cloud Foundry easy. @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/vuaTCG33jD https://t.co/7xhw8VQ9DQ
@minxdragon Each time I see the spaghetti picture, I’m surprised you don’t make a creepypasta reference! *shudder*
Even sick with a cold, @starbuxman is one of the best in the biz. I wouldn’t be speaking here today without his encouragement. Such a good kid, and a favourite of everyone at @yow_conf! @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/vVO63YAc1j
@gilmae @starbuxman Ha! He knows it’s not patronising. Because he *is* a good kid.
We are two minutes in, and already I ❤️ everything about @holdenkarau’s talk. @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/U0W0UGSXho
Realisation: @holdenkarau’s slides have little photos up in the corner. Are they all cats?! 😻 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/LpNdJQXNbW
Try and make sure you’re not just laundering your own biases with ML, because then the computer will just be doing evil for you. @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/X2rjgg9s7z
“Is there anyone from Google here? You have to tell me. It’s like that cop thing.” 😂 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne
@minxdragon @holdenkarau I wondered how many got the reference. Did they have Pintos in Oz??
Has the output of your Spark job ever caused a “serious” production outage? “These people suck at their jobs. These ones are updating their resumes. And these ones are lucky or lying.” You need to TEST! @holdenkarau @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/fFdMjzjpN7
LOL. I’m the one who warned @willmendesneto against live coding demos. It’s so risky! So far so good though, my friend… 🍀 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/kxitWXbBcg
Pretty sure I spotted a @yow_conf sticker on @willmendesneto’s laptop, even from the back of the room! 😉💯 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/BBl5bsifPQ
90 minutes before my talk. When’s the best time to have a coffee so it hits at the right time?
TFW @valtheCPO says, “Kris! Did you see we have a DONUT ROOM?” 😳🏃♀️ @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/3iGcRrsLTa
@Paul_Bone Nah, prob won’t be time for questions. Everyone will be heading out for drinks!
HA! @philnash literally leaped in the air in happiness that, as of this week, his slide has green ticks across the board! ✅ @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/6pN0qOtAfD
Me and the inaugural meeting of the Melbs Bot Appreciation Society. 🤖❤️ @minxdragon @Becknology @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/OPHcKxVUTq
@mootpointer @valtheCPO @VoxxedMelbourne That’s pretty much what my heart is doing from the sugar.
I’ve been seriously impressed with the live coding demos today. @philnash from @twilio making it look easy! @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/cpn0GxLzWb
@philnash @twilio @VoxxedMelbourne ….and I cursed him. 😂
A public service announcement (and plea!) from @philnash: PLEASE don’t demand notification permissions on page load. You’ll just turn notifications into the new pop-ups! @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/hKkppd4H25
Jealous that @philnash appears to have mastered the art of matching his wardrobe to his slide deck theme. @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/uGkF9gqpHA

@starbuxman And thank YOU for telling me about it and giving me the push!

Is there some artificial restriction on the number of taxis in Melbourne?! I can NEVER get one when I need one.
TFW you fly to Melbourne, hop on a tram, and run into a friend from Hong Kong. 😂 @hello_daryl https://t.co/Lsp4jKArNP
The best meetings are the ones that involve knitting, caffeine, tech, and CAAAAKE. 😍 @chixors #stillbuzzing https://t.co/Eqim43KUg6

#yownight @eleybourn introducing the domains of business agility. Why should the non-IT parts of the business care about agility? Because loads of businesses FAIL. https://t.co/L9bBHaHAor
If your SWOT analysis includes the generic term “startups” in your list of competitors/threats, you need to look into business agility. #yownight

“Profit is like air. We don’t live to breathe, but we need to breathe to live.” Nice quote from Frederic Laloux featured by @eleybourn. #yownight https://t.co/FilPBlOgPX
Getting to the identification level of trust is when you can be agile, when you can say: “Here’s my budget. What can you do for that?” @eleybourn #yownight https://t.co/7ylOPe0fcg
To be an Agile leader, your team needs three A’s: authority, accountability, and autonomy. It’s no good making them accountable for things if they don’t have authority and autonomy to fix them! #yownight https://t.co/klrNVKpPUF
Talking about Laloux’s various company patterns. Red organisations are flat, ruled by fear or other strong emotions. Examples includes “crime syndicates… and startups.” (The difference between them is left as an exercise for the reader.) 😂 #yownight @eleybourn https://t.co/dOesSMd7vj
@soxyface @roisinparkes Aawww, thank you! If I weren’t in Melbourne I’d be there right now. ❤️
Having fun imagining some of my past bosses being reviewed based on how well they know their employees. 🤨 #yownight

Bureaucracy happens because orgs are scared of failure. When failure isn’t encouraged, orgs add process to try to avoid in the future. Process begets process. #yownight @eleybourn https://t.co/FueCrq5ApB

The deep purple in the resulting image isn’t in the source or the style input. Why is it there? Why did the computer decide to emphasise it? 🤔🤖🖼 @minxdragon @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne

@Paul_Bone @Melair @linuxusersvic WHAT! I did my degree in theater! Unfortunately I’ve already got dinner plans tonight so I can’t make it. Looks like a fantastic event though…
@Paul_Bone @Melair @linuxusersvic @chixors Yes – I’m meeting up with @chixors tomorrow and will be featuring some of her knitting as part of my VoxxedDays talk 😄 – small world indeed!
Ahhh, SkyBus. I applaud your cheapness while I shake my head at your crap “free Wi-Fi.” And really, I suppose they’re related.
@gilmae I didn’t expect you to go to the trouble of sourcing it! 😂
@gilmae Still tempted though. Would need to replace all our furniture.
