RT @devdevcharlie: Thanks @web_goddess and AWS for inviting @daisysmells and I to the “Future of tech” roundtable! Always awesome to catch…
@devdevcharlie @daisysmells Every time I hang out with you both I’m like, damn, I should see them more often! Getting you invited to cool work events is my creative solution to the problem. 😂
It’s not quite the Hogwarts Express, but we’ll take it! Next stop Melbourne for @hpplayaus. 😍 #gryffindor #slytherin https://t.co/XlE588IkJY https://t.co/3fCR4UxddT

@cathyblabla @the_snook I think it was “Labour of Love” – I definitely remember seeing the video on MTV.
@TheRealBnut LOL. I hadn’t seen that one – thank you. 🙂
The most impressive aspect to me is that @ClimateAnja knitted it bottom up and it turned out the right length. My row gauge is crap, so that’d never work for me. 😂 https://t.co/94PEt2NbGs
RT @troyhunt: As of an hour ago, there are now more records in @haveibeenpwned than there are people on earth. Whoa. https://t.co/jkpiuG5EQW
@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau Agree on all of that. A lot do eventually come back. The big problem is that right now, a larger percentage of senior women are gone. That leaves a very big gap for mentoring and inspiration. To put it bluntly, losing 50 senior Aussie women hurts more than 50 senior blokes.

@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau I’m just talking overseas in this case. We have so few women tech leaders here. I personally know at least 30 who left Sydney in recent years. Makes it hard to find mentors and role models for the juniors coming up.
@dorns2 @boyter @techsydneyau Granted, I know a lot of blokes who’ve gone too. But the population is so much higher that it’s not as noticeable, and there are plenty of replacements to step up. It’s getting to where I rarely see a local woman in the industry as old as I am (and I’m not that old!).

Archer has ruined my brain. 😂 https://t.co/AqGpcPk6X4
@The_McJones It’s debatable. 😂
Damn it, @troyhunt. I had a brief glimmer of hope that I wasn’t in this breach, but just got the notification. https://t.co/ku7AOhhDY5
@i386 LOL. We nearly went there today but wisely decided we’d suffer with old curtains for a few more months.
DAMN IT. Did a periodic clean out of FB Messenger requests and discovered yet another senior Aussie woman in tech inviting me to her leaving-do as she heads to the US to work for a big SV company. @techsydneyau – we really need to tackle the SV braindrain.
Bonus crappiness – because FB Messenger sucks, I missed the invitation and thus the leaving-do and she’s already friggin’ GONE.

@minxdragon I had zero exposure to canon before so it was all new to me. I think I just found Carol too blank, even after she stopped trying to suppress emotion. I just didn’t click with her, even though I wanted to. 😕
@minxdragon In comparison to Wonder Woman, who made me cheer and cry multiple times.
Okay, only two of these left. “Ridiculous chase scene imminent!” https://t.co/ER2Bf0WqrZ
Hey this time we get a good song! “It’s not Shirley but I’ll take it.” https://t.co/dd0gdHrora
Okay, so far this movie is actually way better than I remember. https://t.co/iaaWYv1csK
Quick poll: did Bond and Moneypenjy shag? @the_snook thinks cut to fireworks = did it. I disagree. https://t.co/LbIPvep2OC
@the_snook Okay, I forgot about the “it’s amazing what you can do with an extra pair of hands” line. I stand corrected. I’m now on team Shag.
Awwww yeah. Note to self: look up Skyfall fan fiction. https://t.co/qtuhVo8MNu
Ew, David. https://t.co/I3x9C5g5Zc
“It’s obfuscated code to conceal its true purpose!” Okay, this is getting stupid. Q just plugged an untrusted device into the MI6 network. My cat knows better than that. https://t.co/gLUhOoZ8Ja
@randomknits Nice shirt @gilmae. 😂
Meeting @JadeHameister when we both spoke at TEDx Melbourne a few years back was pretty cool. You should go watch her talk! https://t.co/UldMpapQlS (Thanks @jontv for the opportunity!) https://t.co/th0SpH7Tek

Really, really in the mood to watch Brie Larson punch aliens in the face. #captainmarvel 🍦🥂⭐️ https://t.co/YC3NMOOVg7 https://t.co/B13j2zLruB
Let’s be honest – casting Jude Law in your film is as much a spoiler these days as casting Sean Bean.
I can’t be the only person greeting their cat with “Who’s a cute widdle Flerkin??” today. 😻
I had some lingering questions about the Captain Marvel plot that I shared on Metafilter. Trying to figure out how the plot actually hung together really kept me from enjoying the film as much as I wanted to. 🙁 https://t.co/oEWynoIZQF

@cathyblabla @the_snook Well, Frente made it to the US so I had some familiarity. Pauline Pantsdown was an early discovery. And I do know INXS, of course, but perhaps not the early early stuff…

@evanderkoogh @Amys_Kapers @philnash I thought I’d lose my Airpods. I haven’t though after more than a year. They don’t fall out of my ears (even though normal earbuds do all the time), and they work amazingly. They are worth the money.

@msandfor @GlennSarti @patrickdebois @nicolefv @Amys_Kapers @readify @puppetize 😵❤️ I think @GlennSarti has now namechecked that talk several more times than I actually gave it!
@cathyblabla Gold indeed! I only know like three of these. @the_snook has been remiss.
