    @stibbons @aimee_maree Thanks for the reminder! Just got my tickets for Sunday. 🙂


    @lisaaharrison1 @ignitesydney You would be FANTASTIC. Stephen does a great job to help too. There’s a practice night that was really useful.


    @lisaaharrison1 @ignitesydney Out there? Did you see my talk on knitting as computer code?! 😛


    Just discovered @theophani’s http://t.co/t4yEteJQjl. Great domain name; even better content for those interested in conference speaking. 🙂

    It’s interesting how @MailChimp is able to send an SMS to my non-Telstra Australian mobile, yet @TwitterAU somehow can’t.


    @MsJonesInSydney You guys at @ansarada have the coolest events…


    I keep getting spammed by @CharterhouseSyd for FE dev jobs, despite telling them repeatedly I haven’t done that for 6+ years.


    @bemaia, meet @pyko. She organises the Atlassian GGD events, and I told her you’re interested in speaking in the future! 🙂


    @lahondaknitter Clearly! 😀


    Thank you @webdirections for hosting the conference speaking info session! At the very least, I won’t submit any off-brief proposals. 🙂


    “Post-technical” sounds so much more futuristic and evolved than “bitter ex-dev turned management sell-out.” Thanks for the tip, @i386. 🙂


    @i386 #synergy!


    @johnallsopp @i386 You guys just gave me my new LinkedIn headline.
