@DrBron @JennaPrice Well done. I told mine that as a conf organiser myself I know how much this sucks. But I just couldn’t do it.

Stand back – @sir_tilbrook is talking about Docker! #altnetsyd https://t.co/p46NMPrIQi


I thought this was going to be more ranty! @sir_tilbrook is showing us how he uses Docker with Android build tools. #altnetsyd https://t.co/moEUZnEjL1


I actually saw this a fortnight ago! I was so amused I took a photo. 😂 https://t.co/8o9ND7zqnf https://t.co/nFYDr11tQi


LOL. Final question for @sir_tilbrook: “So I didn’t quite catch… Why would you do this??” 😂 #altnetsyd https://t.co/78ZHoSt1U4

@randomknits She’s gotten so big!!


@jesslynnrose It’s more important as I’ve gotten older. I’ve worked in industries that made me uncomfortable – premium SMS, gaming, etc


@jesslynnrose Nowadays it’s nice to have the privilege to only work for companies who share my values. But not everyone has that luxury.


This was absolutely charming and made me grin like a fool. Just what I needed. 😆 https://t.co/c9PZh6kmc3

Spotify’s Discover Weekly has suggested a bluegrass cover of Modest Mouse to me. Sometimes living in the future is pretty all right.


@saberkite My YOW colleague Missy (Filipino) primarily uses Slack to send me photos of Jollibee. Some things never change. 🤣


@JennaPrice This morning I turned down an invitation to speak at a tech conference in the US in May. 🙁


Perth folks: any recommendations for somewhere in the CBD to take like a dozen people for brekkie?


@stringy @fendersperth Oh perfect, thank you!


@imdominating *fans self* Thank you.


@mpesce Soaked two loads of laundry on the washing line. My weather app totally failed me. 🙁


@mibus Honestly, none of that really. As a white US citizen I have a ton of privilege there. It was more of a symbolic act. I don’t want to


@mibus take advantage of a system that’s currently keeping equally qualified people out. My meager boycott is the only action I got.


@mibus Also the thing where I’ve heard even citizens are being asked to unlock phones and show social media accounts. Eff that.


RT @amandaseales: You didn’t even know you needed this. https://t.co/gCQciiqoPe


@mibus I still have a holiday booked in for August. I’m hoping the situation is better by then.


@evanderkoogh Congrats! Did you say you were in Sydney this week??


@evanderkoogh Ah. Damn. I’ll be away. No beers for you.


@evanderkoogh BTW – any recommendations for a coffee shop in Melbourne where I could meet like a dozen folks for brekkie one day?


@evanderkoogh Yep – from this Sunday to Thursday.


Huh. When I don’t start my day with three hours of reading how EVERYTHING IS AWFUL, I’m actually a productive human being.

I’m pulling out of @pycon. I apologise to the organisers, but right now I want to stay the hell out of the US.


@twelveeyes I really debated. The situation could be better by then. Or it could be a lot worse. Decided not to risk it. 🙁


@johnallsopp @tjbyte GoCatch also has an Uber-type option now within their app called “Rideshare”.


@johnallsopp @tjbyte Frankly I suspect it’s the exact same drivers as Uber; they all seem to be on multiple systems.


@twelveeyes I hadn’t registered or bought plane tickets yet. That would’ve changed things.


@tjbyte @johnallsopp Oh totally. I’ve deleted the @Uber app too. Just highlighting that in the end it’s all the same drivers.


@betsybookworm @twelveeyes Yeah. We’re booked in for a trip to Yellowstone with my parents in August. That I’m still going to.


@betsybookworm @twelveeyes Mostly because I figure with cuts to the NPS, Yellowstone may not be around the next time I’m able to go. 🙁


@Sia @ACLU Small but recurring one from me! #resist https://t.co/hAY0NxLBsY


@liamvhogan Excellent. I believe @200ok uses it too. I even paid for premium as I appreciate their efforts.


@liamvhogan @200ok The one drawback is the social aspect isn’t there due to so few users.

@WearyMonkey EXACTLY. 😱 Problem was I was getting UTC and needed to spit out calendar feed in local timezone. I got there in the end!


@kouky You might as well make a shortcut for that. I suspect you’ll be appending it to a lot of tweets for the next 4 years. 🙁


@mibus So you want me to do my lightning talk tonight or what? 🤣


@mibus Ahhh, Rodd said you were “facilitating”. I took that to mean something much more important. 🤣 See you soon!


@aussielunix Ooooooouch. 🙁


@WearyMonkey I was at the office Monday for the launch. Didn’t see you! Too early in the morning?

@stibbons They’re doing an LCA recap. 🙂


@voltagex @stibbons Trying not to giggle that the speaker’s laptop battery is dying so they’re moving him to a Mac… 😂


@martinkrafft I have a cron job that posts a list of recently “hearted” tweets to my blog. So for me, it’s simply a tag for that.


@parisba If you see Bruce Campbell… I don’t even know how to finish that sentence. But it would be awesome.


@martinkrafft I preferred it when it wasn’t a heart. The heart implies a value judgement, when really I’m just bookmarking.


@voltagex @martinkrafft If you use WordPress, I can share with you. 😜 (Prev version was hand-rolled; might have that somewhere too.)


@voltagex @martinkrafft Both versions are PHP, I should mention. 🙃


@mattgemmell Ha! I knew it looked familiar. Couldn’t put my finger on why it reminded me of outer space. 😂


@voltagex I’ll put it up on GitHub this weekend and ping you. 🙂
