    @Malarkey @boagworld Um, how late in the year does this run? Because I’ve got a trip to the UK coming in November, and I would 100% be up for that.


    @Malarkey Many years ago I went on this one in the Philippines, where you zipline from the top of a mountain across water to an island. 😍 https://t.co/Qzw6kRgDvZ


    TGIF beers at the @Nussbaumpark Biergarten. Loving the DJ tonight… but a bit dubious about the graffiti knitting. 🙃🍻 (2021 Biergarten Count: 10!) https://t.co/Tf1fIT25H2


    @HeshamAboElMagd Thanks for the tip! Will definitely check it out.

    @lucykbain @gerardsans Morris and Sons. (Actually I started when it was still Tapestry Craft!) Of course, I didn’t get too far from web dev – ended up completely rebuilding their e-commerce site. 😜 Only went back to tech for the 💰 when we bought our house.


    @lucykbain I didn’t start going to @GGDSydney until I was back in tech a few years later. My first ever GGD talk was about geeky knitting! 😂

    Interestingly, you only have to tweak this advice a little bit to make it just as applicable for contacting people you don’t know in the tech industry. (The one about *getting to the ask* is my biggest pet peeve. That and tagging me on LinkedIn posts hoping for a signal boost…) https://t.co/6IjIug5Ttw


    @gerardsans Worked as a supermarket checkout chick all through high school. Later when I hit burnout in tech, spent nearly 4 years helping manage a craft shop, helping customers, teaching classes, hiring staff, sweeping the floor…

    @ButlerMaurice @slace @sinedied Ah, yeah, we moved away from IFTTT entirely. Eventually @the_snook set up Home Assistant running on a Raspberry Pi, and we used that to control stuff: https://t.co/h3DMN9q8tb


    @ButlerMaurice @slace @sinedied @the_snook He’s just pinged me to add, “Integrating HA with Google requires either a cloud account or setting up your own test project in GCP.”


    @gilmae That too was a consideration. 🙂


    @noopkat This relevant to my interests. The NARS one I have, the lid pops off all the time and spills shavings everywhere.


    @noopkat @k__mahar That’s the one I have too where the lid pops off! 😂
