@BronwenZ Special event we’re doing for 500 primary and secondary school girls in Blacktown. We’ve got an expo with lots of cool tech to play with, as well as panel of women in tech and a silly little keynote from me. ❤️

---

@BronwenZ Yes, afaik. It’s something our infrastructure team organised I believe. Seems like there’s a lot of demand though!

---

There’s just so much wrong here, @GIPHY. https://t.co/ep1faMEChb A bunch of those are Poldark, for crying out loud. And I really need a “Shall we be quite safe here, Mr. Darcy?” one. (I use that phrase, like, weekly.)

---

@phermens @BronwenZ I will definitely pass on that feedback!

---

RT @_alexrowland: Ok, I know my whole brand is enthusiastic capslock screeching, but I need to be serious for a second. I need to tell you…

---

@damovisa It was in the previous version of the talk! 😜

This is exactly the type of sweater I like most to knit. 😂 See https://t.co/enzmi83Eg3 and https://t.co/9C9DMoNfzH and https://t.co/cypJ86UNIh… https://t.co/sZJxODnheU

---

Love @twilio’s approach to tech conference swag – non-black/blue/grey shirts and actual SCRUNCHIES! 😍 Thanks @philnash. #yow19 https://t.co/APYMb344id

---

Lots of chuckling as @caseyrosenthal tells us about his career journey through the 15th and 19th centuries… #yow19 https://t.co/obaDaXHvto

Engineers implicitly operate within this model – economics, workload, safety. No need to make rules about economics and workload – we have intuition on how far we can push. But on safety… we don’t. That’s why we still have incidents. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/N10iHbVjwA

---

@caseyrosenthal Chaos engineering is about uncovering systemic weakness and helping engineers build that safety intuition. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/OMC52g12TX

---

Complex systems are ones where a person cannot possibly model it in their head. (Reminds me of Jane from the Ender books…) @caseyrosenthal on why Netflix doesn’t have chief architects. #yow19 https://t.co/7DQSLTvSeh

---

I see what you did there, @caseyrosenthal… 😂 #yow19 https://t.co/o7mJNuZ6NS

---

RT @cecianasta: Hell yes. https://t.co/rqv79rFyO7

---

@frankarr WANT.

---

It’s always an absolute honour to be invited to track host at @yow_conf Sydney, but doubly so when I get to introduce @caseyrosenthal and @lizthegrey ! 😍 #yow19

---

@PeopleOfCraft @verypink I know other folks who rave about it too, but I’ve never been able to get into it. 🤷‍♀️

---

Excitement in the air as we set up for AWS Girls’ Tech Day in Blacktown! Looking forward to meeting the technologists of the future today. #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/zGRsUjI1Of

---

The kids arriving, and they are in for a fun day! Robots and 3D printing and Arduinos and laser cutters, oh my! #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/vt6ZFfHlFt

---

Keynote finished! Now the panel is on. I cheered embarrassingly loudly when Ritu, who is in year 10 at Blacktown High School, proudly announced that she was on an all girl robotics team. ❤️🤖👏 #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/DZYQ9fCwUY

Awwww. Good to know that my old @canva test emails are still in the system somewhere… 😂 https://t.co/9iVDESBjas

RT @girlgerms: 1) To highlight that not all techs are white middle-aged men – there are lots of us that don’t fit into that demographic and…

RT @girlgerms: 5) Helping other women in this industry – lifting them up when they need it and beating away their impostor syndrome with a…

@MichelePlayfair @unixbigot We need a new dishwasher. The Snook told me the top of the line model had Wifi. 😱 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“What bargains did you buy on Black Friday, Kris??” 12kg (27lb) of cat food. 😹 https://t.co/2p8a1yS5EB https://t.co/AdBZQZLMM7

---

@crankymate @darthted @hannahyanfield Whaaat?! Certainly not! I would also assume that’s illegal.

---

Clothes and computers https://t.co/icwSfMXX6b – WOW! Thanks for the link, @Reidyd. I’d never heard of these first Aussie women working in computing. 😍 https://t.co/gN9ht9xh03

---

@MelissaKaulfuss @Reidyd Oh, to wear blue eye shadow and a matching caftan at work! 😂

---

No @Spotify, this was definitely not what I wanted when I asked Alexa to play Werewolves of London. https://t.co/rXYhy8uZXO

---

@StokesXandra @Reidyd Get. In. Line. 😜

---

@darthted Good job!!

---

Thanks to the @DDDBrisbane organisers for inviting me to give the locknote on Saturday! Loved hanging out with the QLD tech community again, and great to see so many first time speakers. #dddbne #dddbrisbane https://t.co/A6Q4XXgs2m

---

And on a purely self-serving note, this means I’ve now locknoted at THREE different DDDs in Australia: @DDDPerth, @DDDMelb, and @DDDBrisbane. So if anybody from @dddsydney or @DDDAdelaide is reading, I’d love to collect the full set! 😜

---

@cczona @DDDBrisbane I honestly don’t even remember doing that. It’s like I black out when I’m presenting. 😂

---

@csferrie @DDDPerth @DDDMelb @DDDBrisbane @dddsydney @DDDAdelaide Wonder K/Chrisses ACTIVATE!

---

@JayHealey @DDDBrisbane Thank you James! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

---

RT @Infosec_Taylor: Husband: What are you eating for breakfast?

Me: Leftovers.

Husband: … that’s pumpkin pie.

Me: LEFTOVER pumpkin pie.

---

@simonbrown I just left there! Have a lovely time

---

Things that give me joy: raising my first baby Gudetama tamagotchi 🥚👶🏻 (thank you @melissa_loh!!!!) and homemade muffins 🧁 (thank you Snookums!!!!). https://t.co/1149r7UUhI

---

RT @frankarr: I’m also hiring & in BNE too!! #dddbne https://t.co/lf22T1Ewtg

When you say “Do you think you could invent a pumpkin spice mudslide for me, for Thanksgiving?” he does not disappoint. https://t.co/NZnSns0WWN https://t.co/0GPDPgvRYH

@AstroHyde @41Strange @craftyiscool 12 years ago I knitted my friend @krisalis’s baby a Yoda costume, complete with felted ears! Obviously we were way ahead of the trend. 😂 https://t.co/Psbb1UEhJl https://t.co/fK9hXMaB93

---

@minxdragon If you haven’t already read it, this is my new fave #GoodOmens fic. It’s extraordinary. I wish it were being filmed as the sequel, despite Aziraphale barely being in it. https://t.co/fnqeo3DHE6

---

@unixbigot Sounds about right. 😂

---

RT @MusesCodeJSSyd: Who said women are not interested in coding? Look at our room full of folks doing Intro to coding 🥳👨🏽‍💻👩🏻‍💻
Great than…
