    Honestly, I couldn’t care less about a stupid horse race. But an occasion to finally wear my new crinoline in public? Okay. 🍒❤️ https://t.co/7OD4zY9Ur4 https://t.co/oIRkXh6bAM


    Ugh. I got a lovely & unexpected award a few years back from a group I’m in, and I heard through the grapevine that a supposed friend was griping about it. It hurt. What a petty thing to do. @Mandy_Kerr is such a generous force in our community, and a bigger person than I am. ❤️ https://t.co/xOdxO9bglr


    Thanks @randomknits for the flower. It’s the hit of the day. 😍 https://t.co/TnQBzbrSrj


    Now and then. Four years ago @lemon_lime and I won Best Dressed Couple! ❤️ https://t.co/dMB9RbFQrW


    @lemon_lime Wait, was that for the race or for your outfit?!


    @lemon_lime WHAAAAAT.


    Huh. Do tech meetups in Sydney really pay $100+ to a venue to host? I can maybe see that for a vendor-run event, but not one staffed by volunteers like @SydTechLeaders. 🤔


    @SydTechLeaders Thanks everyone. To be clear, @SydTechLeaders has been going for years and never had to pay for a venue. We are working on 2019 events and I was surprised when a local place quoted me a rate card today. Just wanted to calibrate my level of indignant outrage appropriately. 😉


    @SydTechLeaders And no, I’m not gonna reveal the source of the subtweet. HIGH ROAD, BABY. 😂


    @simonwaight @SydTechLeaders @MSFTReactor They’ve already reached out. 😉 Thank you though!


    @jonoabroad @SydTechLeaders @Atlassian 😂 Seems that way sometimes, but not all!


    @LizlingC I agree it’s not free for them. That’s why we list them as venue sponsor and try to make sure they get attention from attendees. I’ve just rarely seen it passed on to volunteer, non-vendor driven groups.


    @MWatsonSYD1 @mootpointer @SydTechLeaders @MSFTReactor Ha! @mootpointer literally offered to connect us about 20 min ago. 😊 Will be in touch…

    Discovering that Jeopardy’s Battle of the Decades shows are on Netflix has MADE MY WEEK.

    Amusing myself today with my magic shoelaces. In sunlight, little dinosaurs appear! 🦕🦖 https://t.co/atGnwCllkW https://t.co/DjPJSj1RoG


    Everybody likes the magic shoelaces! The Snook got them for me at the toy shop in Leura some years ago. It does look like they’re available online though! https://t.co/kuq92br5fH


    @LukeSleeman https://t.co/kuq92br5fH


    This. Is. Awesome. And I reckon you can even make an argument that, for some of us, badass lady pirates are very inspirational and relevant when it comes to managing teams of technical folks. 😉 Thanks @johnbarton and @HecateApp!! https://t.co/YILfTEDYAS


    @darthted @johnbarton @HecateApp 1997-2000, right? Ahhh, Napster.

    @annie_parker @MsJonesInSydney Heh, truthfully I think the fiver was mostly down to Annie’s assistance there. 🙂


    @lucykbain I’m making a dress this weekend that will have the GIANTEST POCKETS I CAN PUT IN IT.


    @cherylgledhill @webdirections STAY STRONG CHERYL! 🙂


    @Mandy_Kerr You look gorgeous! I love that skirt too. I’m so annoyed I didn’t get to intro you – I am wearing a dress with planets all over it! 🌠☄️


    @lindamciver 👏 I saw @aurynn speak at LCA 2017, and that’s how I learned there was a term for something I knew bothered me but didn’t know how to define. It’s so useful to have that terminology – then you can fight it.

    Learning about @apollographql from @peggyrayzis at #wds18… https://t.co/wAg1BCnwlE


    Oh wow. Real-time performance metrics inside your IDE to help you write better queries… @peggyrayzis giving us a sneak peek! #wds18 https://t.co/CaEu6CYNeI


    😍 Thanks fellow Frocker @Amys_Kapers. This is indeed the dress I was sewing all through #frocktober! If you’d like to donate to @ocrfaustralia, my page is here: https://t.co/Cp1ivbU15l #wds18 https://t.co/Bk8PBUcEpw

    Ahem. I have a bug report, @philnash. WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE IN ANYWAY. #wds18 https://t.co/sGs8UBZcmv


    . @mnot pushing all my nostalgia buttons, talking about the painful ways we downloaded applications and resources in the old days… #wds18 https://t.co/lrWcN7l2zK


    Cache Digest allows client to provide a representation of what it has in cache to server, which can then send only what client needs. (@mnot somewhat buried the lede though – not supported in any browser yet!) #wds18 https://t.co/IkodsymBFd


    Proposed status code 103 is a non-final request and provides a hint of resources to download while server is still thinking. But again – not supported yet. #wds18 @mnot https://t.co/ZTaZx562CF


    Error experiences suck mainly because of the distance between where the bug happens and where the explosion actually occurs. #wds18 @damncabbage https://t.co/s1V1MEXYUT


    @Amys_Kapers @yow_conf @evanderkoogh @Bitgenics I think that’s one for @hannahyanfield’s Museum of Kris Gurns. 😂
