Trying to figure out how many folks are actually using my Aussie Meetup Calendars. According to Amazon CloudFront, there were 386 requests yesterday. But these are for subscriptions in calendaring apps, so who knows how often those apps refresh… 🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/cPr80bo3gv

---

I would’ve thought that apps like Google Calendar would cache the same URL for multiple people, but I can’t find any documentation of whether that’s true or how often Google Calendar refreshes. 🤔 So maybe the real total is higher, I guess.

---

@_neozenith Oh nice! Here’s mine: https://t.co/jm7Zj3HWkV . Hmm, looking at the Newwwie one, you’re using v2 APIs. They’ve been deprecated – you’ll need to update. 🙁

---

@_neozenith I could add Newcastle… Lemme try it and see what it looks like. 🙂

---

@_neozenith Try this out in your calendar app of choice: https://t.co/Iq3Z1MGFBV

RT @Cary_Elwes: There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one. https://t.co/5N8Q3P2e5G

---

@emd3737 I’m all about those spicy memes. 😂

---

@_neozenith They’re also removing API keys and forcing OAuth, so hopefully you’ve got that covered too… 🙁

@msharp After knitting my own Bokaclava and entering it in the Easter Show, I have nothing to prove. 😈 https://t.co/j0lnZtV1eE

@dalanmiller They’re listed on the Github repo! 🙂 https://t.co/jm7Zj3qltn

---

I LOLed. 😂 https://t.co/dbMWCxfDJV

---

@DamonOehlman @msharp Well it would help if I could find the damned thing. Maybe I gave it to someone. Or maybe it’s demonic and slunk off in the night. At any rate, it’s on my Ravelry page. 🙂 https://t.co/9Op91HpJjY

@philnash @sydjs WHAT? How’d I miss this?? (Who am I kidding. Would I actually brave the rainy ickiness, even for Phil? 🤔 )

---

LOL. Another one for my @SydTechLeaders Techtivus rant deck… https://t.co/QO3Pt5dN2Z

@mmastertheone For a moment I got super excited that it was going to be a Lego Moomin House, and now I am obsessed with this concept and it needs to exist. @MoominOfficial – please make that happen!

---

@SydTechLeaders @darthted @SydCSS @dp_lewis @msharp And that should’ve been from my account, of course. 😜

Great energy at @BlueChilliGroup today for the @shestarts showcase! So far I’ve met some inspiring founders tackling mental health, agriculture and farming, waste management, and recruiting. https://t.co/MmYDsBUJmF

Kicking off #yownight at @arq_group! Looking forward to hearing from @daveathomas and @awscloud Community Hero Gus Nalwan from @carsales… https://t.co/1oM6evEFV2

Incidentally, the Call for Papers for @yow_conf YOW! Data is now open! https://t.co/iM7TOhywP0 #yownight https://t.co/UpvUZGKrMQ

---

First talk is from Gus on Mystique – the fight against rego plate cloning. I suspect this is going to involve AI… 🤔 @carsales #yownight https://t.co/MmO5qZTr2A

---

Oh very cool. @carsales used @awscloud Sagemaker to detect the bounding boxes of rego plates. Two weeks of dev time… 75% of which was spent prepping the data! #yownight https://t.co/8U10aRvBIp

---

Second talk is @daveathomas from @yow_conf and Kx Systems on NewSQL and “why it’s a dumb idea”. 😂 #yownight https://t.co/XRFbqwbYZh

“Being a row farmer really sucks…” Love a good @daveathomas rant! #yownight https://t.co/yXKXOGBN2O

@auxesis @sectionio Congratulations!!

Me: “Alexa, play Taylor Swift’s album Lover.”
Alexa: “Sorry, I can’t find any album called Love Her.”
Me, in thickest Strine: “Alexa, ply Taylah Swift’s album Lovah.”
Alexa: “Coming right up.”

18 years in this country and Alexa is finally training me to have the damn accent.

@shermozle It’s so awful. I literally have to channel Kath & Kim in my mind. 😂

With the Snook away for work, it’s my responsibility to water his garden plants. Trying to resist the urge to go full Crowley and berate them for not growing verdantly enough… 😈

@twasink It’s pretty much a given that I’ll destroy at least one accidentally, so it’s really just spinning it as intentional to scare the others.

Hmm. YNAB 4 will be unsupported once Catalina comes out, so we’re exploring other personal finance trackers. Anybody running Firefly III? https://t.co/GBTjXSMckk https://t.co/mlqS1pYILZ

@puffnfresh @saberkite @shermozle TRY NOT TO SOUND SO SURPRISED.

---

@puffnfresh @saberkite @shermozle Actually an American (one of the speakers’ partners at YOW Perth) said that I sounded convincingly Australia. @FakeSamRitchie was there. He did not agree.

---

@ahontwi I think it depends what language you set it to. Ours is set to Australian English.

Just discovered that my AWS Community Day video is online! Not to be vain, but… my hair and makeup look GREAT on the video. So that’s a win. But as usual I talk too damn fast… https://t.co/0a2cAimAmx https://t.co/i8uK1TpSKY

---

@mobywhale Yep! 👋 I’ll DM you @paulfioravanti.

---

@BesseIFunction I’m not happy with the fit – even after three toiles – but others also wrestled with that pattern so at least I know it wasn’t just me.

---

@BesseIFunction But thank you ☺️

@QuinnyPig Sold!

TIL that @Meetup will only let the primary organiser for a group pay the subscription. If you’re just a co-organiser, they’ll take your money and send you a receipt, but not apply it to the group. No idea where my money went. 🤷‍♀️

@hannahcancode Hi! 👋 I’m watching a machine learning tutorial. I feel ya.

---

@DDsD See, I often have the reverse problem with all the pubs advertising “crafternoons.”

---

@TheRealBnut For about 5 minutes. But that’s not yarn; it’s unspun roving. It’s gonna look like felted crap as soon as you actually use it.

---

@TheRealBnut Actually I stand corrected. It looks like Yooge is a knitted and stuffed tube – like a sausage. It’s also cotton so won’t felt.

---

“Oh, you’re here! At your desk! I feel like I only ever see you in the office at nighttime.” A thing that was just said to me in the office at lunch. 😂

---

@FakeSamRitchie I literally said that to him. 🦇

---

@evanderkoogh I am living that bachelorette life, so let me know where you end up!

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace I wonder if any of us can finish up early enough today to get a booth at Baxter?

---

@hexsteph I gave up on that. Even the ones with rubbery bits don’t work. I just get the Hollywood Fashion Tape from Priceline and cut it down into a little square. That works.

---

@MitchPommers @evanderkoogh @slace I haven’t been in a while. I’d say see if you can get in, and if not we fall back to SG’s.

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Find Redoak on Clarence St. Look across the street for the opening with the metal gate through to an alleyway. Go in there and turn right. There’s probably a queue. Go through metal door and down dodgy steps. 🙂

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Yep. Don’t get eaten by the grue.

---

@slace @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh I just have to power through reviewing 9 CVs, and then I’m on my way. 😭

---

@MitchPommers @evanderkoogh Get a booth?

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers Is it busy yet?

Sometimes the best part of being a grownup is being able to recreate the things you loved as a kid. ❤️😲 https://t.co/srztXtP1Is https://t.co/AwyyHDc2xP
