    @gilmae Sadly, there is big temptation to monetise community ideas and work. I want women-run businesses to succeed… but this is disappointing.

    @gilmae Trying to take the high road (despite subtweets). Best response is just to do my best to keep free, community-run events thriving, right?

    @unixbigot @yow_conf Of course – @yow_conf swag is geek high fashion! 🤓

    @johnallsopp For some reason I read it as Bell Jar, and I thought you were being very dark in an obscure way. 😂

    There are some challenges in building podcast skill for Alexa. For one, Alexa requires https so some podcasts must be proxied. #alexasydney https://t.co/rrdEgTOEK2

    Alexa speaks slowly. When designing skills, keep responses short, don’t add too many steps, and don’t answer questions with questions. https://t.co/M6Up4WM8zY

    @gilmae American craft beer hipster trends trickling down to Oz. The Snook reckons “barrel-aged sours” are the next thing coming.

    @FakeSamRitchie @mattdelves I think the @canva talk is about iOS too…

    @gilmae You’re not wrong. Hoppiness went off the charts, like daring to make the bitterest beer possible. 🤢

    @GRobilliard @lachlanhardy @danmedcraft @stevelikesyou I was at a tech event last night talking to someone griping about recruiters. “Except for Lookahead,” he added grudgingly. “They’re good.” 😘

    @saramic Most imp. question – is it hand knit? Check seams inside. Some machine knits will be cut and sewn together, so you won’t get long strands.

    @saramic Once you unpick seams, you should be able to unravel from the top downwards (unless it was knitted top-down, in which case reverse).

    @saramic Then get or fashion a niddy noddy so you can wind hanks: https://t.co/nmANNcXBqz. Give the hanks a soak in the tub to relax the kinks.

    @saramic Then wind into new balls and knit away! 🙂
