OH. MY. GOD. Just discovered that I am *still* getting emails from @DendySydney despite removing myself MULTIPLE TIMES.
At this point, it appears that you can never, ever get off the Dendy email list. Despite them assuring me that it had been done.
In September 2015 @DendySydney said I was removed from email list. And then in October. And yet here I am in May still getting them.
@TheRealBnut Oh, I am well aware. Currently forwarding half a dozen messages to ACMA right now.
DMs I received from @DendySydney back in September and October. I have *not* resubscribed. @mootpointer @TheRealBnut https://t.co/nvx4Aq7uif
@TheRealBnut I had actually marked them as spam 6+ months ago. Just happened to look in spam today and saw half a dozen new ones. RIDICULOUS
@simonraikallen @kakaCharlotte Or we’ll get you to give it at a Girl Geeks event sometime. 😉

@teknetia That’s Indiana, where I’m from. Can you guess what high school sex ed was like? Ugh.
@teknetia Our school actually had a nursery so that teenage mothers could still go to class and graduate.
@SydneyAirport @tinypang I feel bad for the poor man who sat in my otherwise empty row of 4 seats on the plane. Nearly took his head off.
@RMcKergow That’s fantastic! You can tell him to drop me a line – kris AT https://t.co/7g7TJo5noR 🙂
@mokagio @daphnechong @fakesamritchie I’m feeling surprisingly good. This probably means I’ll fall apart in a couple hours.
@tcn33 I nearly killed the poor guy who sat in my row, thus ruining my chances for a 4-seat lie down.

“Quality is a function of precise thought and reflection” – it’s not just tests failing and catching bugs. #yowwest16 @mfeathers
Introducing hazard to improve quality – like removing road markings and lane separators to get people to slow down. #yowwest16
Ha. I’ve been introducing hazard to my hobby code for years. It’s called writing PHP with no tests. 😂 #yowwest16
Do QA departments make devs less careful? I’ve had this debate many times. #yowwest16
@MitchPommers I believe the only correct response here is “YOLO”. 🙂
@smithcdau I noticed that too! It was my favourite. I showed that one at Canva last year. 🙂

Really excited to finally hear @daphnechong talk about video transcoding system she built for ABC iView! #yowwest16 https://t.co/VdgWEx1aLX
Transcoding at a commercial network is so much harder. Reality TV = no transcoding in advance. Jealous of ABC’s simplicity! #yowwest16
@mootpointer If only. I should’ve added sports too. Those Grand Final clips gotta get online asap. *sigh* Flashbacks.

Good Agile coaches always advocate using a physical card wall to spark conversations. 👍😍 (I miss my card wall days…) #yowwest16 @RMcKergow

Looked over and caught @evanderkoogh researching tribbles on Wikipedia. Seriously. #yowwest16 https://t.co/IioAbj8i76

Best feedback: “Your talk was great! I definitely don’t want to ever be a manager.” Whoops. Maybe hit the negatives too hard. 🙂 #yowwest16
Special thanks to @daphnechong for noticing I’d typed MY OWN TWITTER NAME WRONG on my slides with enough time for me to fix it!
