    Honestly, a 30min video catchup with @gabehollombe does more for my mood than any amount of caffeine. ❤️

    New pristine white bicycle helmet inspired me to open up my sticker bag for the first time in 18 months. Decisions, decisions… 🤔🌈☠️ https://t.co/KP7RrwsxEW


    @dirk_f5r Too many options. I really love the rainbow @freesewing_org skull! I might need to try a few combinations… 😂

    @TheRealBnut @mmastertheone OH GOOD GRIEF. Well spotted!

    @rchrdbyd Hmm. Depends. If it’s a complete rando, I’d probably ask [x] first if they were cool with me looping them in. If we’re all colleagues, then I’d just CC them in. (Did that today, in fact.)


    One year ago we boarded the plane for Germany. Today I actually considered wearing socks and Birkenstocks outside the home. 😳🇩🇪 https://t.co/kqp5uwkFX2


    @rchrdbyd In that case CC, and I voted as such. 👍


    Almost at the end of NGE. Asuka having a breakdown while being on her period and alternating between zombie depression and yelling that she hates everybody… didn’t NOT make me identify with her. 🙃


    RT @Vel12171: First AWS Serverless hero from Africa 🎉🎉🎉- congratulations @atehrosius 🇨🇲🇨🇲 , so well-deserved! Well done to all the heroes.…


    Congrats to @adv4000 on being named an AWS Hero! If you’re looking to learn about AWS in the Russian language, you should check out his videos. 👏👏👏 https://t.co/VhPvhKIBW9

    One year since we left Oz. We’d hoped to have been able to visit, but things didn’t quite work out. We miss you all so much. ❤️

    @DVDBits The fact that I immediately related to Asuka always yelling at dumb boys like ineffectual Shinji who keeps getting praised despite him not even wanting this challenge they’ve been given… probably says a lot.


    @crankymate @lemon_lime I was hoping with the last few days slowing down that maybe things were turning around. 🙁


    Anybody in Munich know what the deal is with the little cars?? We saw them on the weekend and then again tonight! 🚗🚗🚗🚗 https://t.co/c4XUgW3Tll


    @alexcg @hxiao @JinaAI_ Oh fun! If they haven’t locked us down and the biergartens are open, happy to catch up for a beer if you like.

    @mmastertheone I think you might be right! Maybe it’s these folks: https://t.co/FxHEasfme2

    Came to the office today and realised it’s probably been at least 18 months since I did a lift selfie! 🤯 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/J9kuvcQjDd


    @kaydo That was the only thing that cheered me up on a cool, rainy day – getting to wear my lovely new raincoat. ☺️


    @TheRealBnut @hannahcancode Agree! Really cute 😀


    Me, watching Neon Genesis Evangelion for 1st time:

    Eps 1-18: I get it. It’s, like, Pacific Rim but with some random Bible stuff layered in. Asuka rules.

    Ep 19: WHAT. IS. HAPPENING.

    Ep 20: 😳 I did NOT need that closing bedroom convo.

    Ep 21: 🤯 “Old hag”?!?!

    @DVDBits Rodd did warn me (he’s seen it before) that this would likely be me at some point, and I shouldn’t hold it against him. https://t.co/YzudvDbCv8

    @gerardsans Back in my frontend dev days, one of the business folks came over to ask me a question once. I pulled off my headphones to talk to her, and she looked surprised to hear music coming from them. “What did you think I was listening to??” I asked. “Uh… code?” she said. 😂


    @gerardsans “Yes, I’m directly jacked into the Matrix,” I should’ve replied. 😛


    I can’t decide what delights me more: that my #NDCMelbourne talk on knitting and ML has had over 1K views already(!), or that in the comments some dude points out that using ML to identify knitting stitches is “kind of a useless application.” 😂 #duh https://t.co/5BQZZCYsGe
