    RT @griph: ELDER UFO DIMENSION GODS: this timeline was not meant to be. we are sorry but we must collapse it before it does any more damage…

    @randomknits You need to dye her hair to match yours!!

    My rebirth as a developer continues apace. I spent all day Sunday coding and swearing. “FUCK TIME ZONES” is a legit commit message, right?

    @yortw 😭😭😭

    @yortw I started my career as a dev, so not really a stranger to these. I just haven’t done it in a long time, and I’ve forgotten how shit some things are. 😑

    @IamStan @gitlost HA! I wonder if mine will show up there…

    MUGicalNode – now with daily digests! The result of today’s tussling with timezones… https://t.co/E8UEpAqwOc https://t.co/obRGDAdCbL

    RT @SydTechLeaders: If you’re no longer attending Thursday’s meetup, please update your RSVP to free up a spot for someone on the waitlist!…

    @zarahjutz THAT’S AWESOME! You’ll smash it. 🙂

    @minxdragon I’m annoyed we can’t go together and sit in the corner and drink cocktails! 😂

    Wow. One of my most popular tweets of all time. Y’all really hate time zones. 😂

    @ReasonableCoder It’s a calendar app. Using ical-toolkit, which works fine – except for full day events, which somehow don’t obey time zone formatting. 😧 https://t.co/jm7Zj3HWkV

  • MUGicalNode – now with daily digests!

    Last week I was delighted to receive an honest-to-goodness feature request for MUGicalNode from my new colleague Paul. He said that he really liked the calendar, but he had issues when viewing on his iPhone. Namely, on an day with lots of events, you end up with something like this:

    MUGicalNode - calendar chaos

    That’s not very nice, is it? He wondered if there was a way to create a single “event” per day and then have that be a list of all the meetups. Sounds like a good idea, I said!  This afternoon I set to work making that a reality.

    Introducing digest calendars

    I modified my existing “makecalendar” Lambda to also create a separate digest calendar and upload it to the same bucket. For each day, it creates an all-day event with a description that lists the events and their URLs. You don’t get as much info (like the individual meetup description or venue details), but you can click on the link to go to the relevant Meetup.com page. I think it’s a really nice solution!

    Note: depending on how many events there are on the day, you may need to click “Show All Notes” to see the full list on your phone.

    @emma_n_robbins Yes, THIS. I’ve had employers question why I’ve changed jobs more than men of my age in the industry. BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A RAISE. If I didn’t, I’d be on < 1/3 what I’m on now.

    @Mandy_Kerr Nah, just got nearly 100 connection requests from complete randoms who don’t include a note, and it’s annoying the crap out of me.

    @evanderkoogh @WaiLingKo What was that eldritch horror meant to be??

    Somebody missed his Mama… 😻 https://t.co/NczTDJmaVi https://t.co/xV7RxL8qpt

    @frankarr Interesting. We have watched a few eps of “Gourmet Samurai” too – highly recommended. Similar idea with a retired guy who goes to restaurants for lunch!

    @frankarr Correction: Samurai Gourmet.

    @ricardoy1 He’s more cuddly in winter when it’s colder. 😂

    Good grief. If you’re wondering where half of Sydney is, they’re waiting for their luggage in the Qantas arrivals hall. 😩

    I don’t understand why the @SydneyAirport taxi rank has 100 turnstiles that I’ve never seen used, even when the queue is backed up to the terminal (like now).

    Cool – Submarine Cable Map 2018. Was literally *just* talking with a fellow techie about his plan to retire to Vanuatu due to low tax rate and fast Internet. 😂 https://t.co/wMm8OmcAZ0 via The Sizzle @decryption https://t.co/WvFQ39JeAp

    @twasink @decryption Heh. I don’t know if he factored that into his plans…

    Cannot decide if my dogged insistence on following the rules when others don’t makes me a lone voice of rectitude in the wilderness… or a complete sucker.

    A beautiful day… indeed. #nofilter https://t.co/lGnrLf2edM https://t.co/cxxLeCY6Yg
