    @i386 @developerjack Sure! My flight’s boarding shortly; should be there around 4

    The view from the bar is pretty amazing. (@ Onyx Bar in Sandy Bay, TAS) https://t.co/WLjOTJq3OG https://t.co/2t7LqVJ7s8


    @aurynn Thanks for recommending. I wasn’t familiar with the term “contempt culture,” but I know all too well what it is.


    @diversionary @mattdelves @the_patima YES! I made this like 2 weeks ago. 😁 Lemme find the link…


    @diversionary @mattdelves @the_patima Have a look! https://t.co/lnTHoLDgAW I’m still squashing a few bugs as I find them, but it’s working!

    Trying to calculate the odds of ending up at a table at #lca2017 with two other women, both of whom also had weddings in Vegas…

    Knitters represent!!! #lca2017 @KathyReid @NatDudley @amscraig @BR3NDA https://t.co/UxTLB1pP2f


    I brought appropriately geeky knitting. #lca2017 https://t.co/Ice4wM483a


    @mlukanuski Knitting for a friend. Barter arrangement for website design. 😁


    Some of my geekier knitting projects, a few of which are in my @wootconf talk today at 1:20 in Tasman Hall A! #lca2017 @linuxconfau https://t.co/UYit0Utra9


    @NicoleWill100 My stuff is more attractive! (I get annoyed when guys get lots of attention when they knit just by virtue of gender.)

    @unixbigot Oh yay, another friend! I’ll see you there. 🙂


    @mikal @richardfontana @theshaun @mibus @itgrrl Hey fellow #lca2017 flight buddies! Anybody want to share a cab from HBA -> venue?


    @mark_sabbatical @noopkat Phew. Really glad to hear it!


    @mibus @mikal @richardfontana @theshaun @itgrrl @jeremyvisser I’m open to sharing cab! Otherwise shuttle must be booked ahead of time.


    @mikal @mibus @richardfontana @theshaun @itgrrl Heh. I’m the giant ginger girl. I can be the meeting point. 🤣


    @developerjack My first choice was easy in the end! @MYOBapi #lca2017 https://t.co/HZrhmbmQqx

    @sarah_liu They don’t hire juniors at all. I think it’s unethical to rely on the rest of the industry to train the next generation for you.


    Awww, it’s the amazing @trisha_gee! https://t.co/xP05IjDHbz


    @thewebprincess Oh thank you! I’ve actually got plenty now. Maybe my next visit? Got a great WordPress talk. 🙂


    Thank you to @susanshiwashere for inviting me to present at CBA’s Soapbox Club speaking workshop! So much fun. 😁 https://t.co/oqhtj9li4y


    Finally! Stickers! And they’re hexagons, @DamonOehlman. 😉 https://t.co/vuKP6nyhvo


    First Meetup Wrap blog post of 2017 – four meetups, two of which involved me speaking! https://t.co/xBFlKLbtdX


    RT @parisba: Saw someone arguing with Woolworths staff about GPL-compliance of self-checkout machines. #lca2017 must be in town.


    @mark_sabbatical I’m in Hobart all next week for LCA. Starting to think the universe is conspiring to keep me from Cocoaheads!


    @mark_sabbatical But thank you for the offer!


    @mark_sabbatical @parisba Yes! I know @chrisjrn will be super busy, but he is top of my To Meet list. I have secret 🐿 things to discuss. 🤐


    Fastest checkup & cleaning yet! Thanks, Fancy New Electric Toothbrush. (@ Pacific Smiles Dental in Sydney, NSW) https://t.co/ipBMThzybO


    @slace I finally figured out how to get 5 stars on it.


    @slace Given the shittiness of the instruction manual, that may have been faster.

    Friends who use Gmail – be on the lookout for this new, extremely sophisticated phishing technique. It’s caught out experienced software professionals, so be aware.

    @drkknits Just started to drool. Thanks.


    Awww, @the_snook made a new friend when he went out to water the garden this morning! (Actually it’s shell leftover from molting.) https://t.co/hBBNlYoKUh


    @developerjack Let me know if you get any good suggestions. I’m interested too, but they all look HUGE and CLUNKY on my wrist.


    RT @KenJennings: You (dumb, never been on Jeopardy): I thought he was a germaphobe.
    Me (wise, drinks 200mL of my morning stream every day):…


    RT @Geek_Manager: This thread is awesome – read the whole thing 😻😻😻 https://t.co/m54CJy239T


    @DeveloperSteve @sir_tilbrook Haha, I’m not up that high yet! (Thanks to my meetup calendar script, no more need to join them all!)


    Just realising I have booked myself for 8 speaking engagements so far in the next two months. 😳


    @lynnlangit Haha, I finish most of mine by spruiking yours!


    @KiahHickson I started out same way! New Year’s 2015 resolution was to get a paid speaking gig. Just stick with it. 😊


    @KiahHickson And you should absolutely enter @yow_conf’s Women in Tech speaking comp this year! https://t.co/hTKZYCqFk2 Will open soon…


    RT @yow_conf: We’re getting ready to announce our #WIT competition for 2017. Get notified the minute it goes live https://t.co/C19wAu4J2e h…

    @Ducky_Tape I’m hosting drinks for local meetup group folks in Hobart on Thursday next week if you’re interested in joining! DM for details.


    Do you run a local tech meetup group in Hobart? I want to buy you a drink next week! Send me a message and I’ll give you the details. 🙂 https://t.co/Vf0ke2cAcC


    @Xavier_Ho Hehe. I’ve already been chasing @Ducky_Tape all over the Internet!


    @jake_bresnehan @joshgillies @kcidau Ooh, thanks. I think I messaged them both via other means, but good to connect here too!


    It’s nice and cool in @4mationSydney as @Meligy kicks off tonight’s #ngsyd meetup! Nice crowd too. https://t.co/cpXOlJOp0V


    Fantastic – Ken’s giving his second ever talk on running unit tests in Angular 2. He’s doing great! #ngsydney https://t.co/9eWHcaeo2N


    @developerjack That was a quick impulse buy!


    @kcidau @jake_bresnehan @joshgillies @webdev42 @dnahodil AWS is George – already talked to him!


    @kcidau @jake_bresnehan @joshgillies @webdev42 @dnahodil I’ve got table booked Thurs Jan 19 at 6pm at Brick Factory. Would love to meet up!


    @kcidau @jake_bresnehan Thank you both! Looking forward to meeting all the Tasmanians next week. 😁


    @kcidau Could squeeze in a quick hello on the Friday if you’re back then!


    @dnahodil Haha, nothing too mysterious. Just want to pay a thank you to UG heads on behalf on @yow_conf. We know how hard work it is!


    @kcidau Oh cool! I’ll message you when you’re back then. 🙂


    RT @Meligy: And now the 2nd ng-sydney talk where @web_goddess shows us how knitting and computer coding are so much alike!

    RT @_tonymay: @web_goddess giving and amazing talk on coding and knitting! https://t.co/hcGvUlSeYd


    @_tonymay Thank you!! 😁


    @Ducky_Tape @Astarael @maziltov @mtfoilist Excellent! I sent the GGC FB page a message with the details. Hope to see you all next week!

    @maziltov @gsat_technology Hehe. Already been talking to him – he was the first RSVP! Thank you though. 🙂


    Thanks to @unlikelylibrary’s mad skillz, I’ve found exact shoes Emma Stone wears in La La Land! (2nd row, 3rd down) https://t.co/4ITSmKpLD6 https://t.co/jNIJiyjCpd


    I absolutely loved this. I know it’s an ad, but that sentiment? That’s the Australia I want to live in. https://t.co/MnEZcwNeP6


    @MichelePlayfair That part really does! 😆


    @sarah_liu I have so many issues with the valorisation of their hiring model in the industry. 😕


    @JennaPrice Rodd and I were in the Tunick photo too! I found it very empowering. https://t.co/KeoHrpVk5o


    @JennaPrice We’re in the middle somewhere, right before the steps. Never managed to spot us in the photo though!
