There are so few occasions when I get to use my comic book knowledge in a professional setting. Today is one of those days. 😆
The Bowlo is GOING OFF tonight, mate!
This is already amaaaaaazing. (The wine must flow.)
Apparently my picture is hanging in the toilets at SEEK. 😂
Last night I joked, “I’ll cook dinner if you bake me a pie.” The Snook was like, “Done.” ☺️
Things I learned from this profile of Marimekko:
“When you see a colorway, you just know whether it’s Marimekko or not.” – Yep. I was lucky enough to score a pair of Marimekko Converse when I was in the US a few years back. They always draw compliments!
Heh. I should get a commission on @videosmithery’s scarves! 🤣 They’re here, @jodionis: https://t.co/MtJjGwC5Ow https://t.co/ycfzxWB3hO
The Problem with Working From Home. 😼 https://t.co/UJ0rYBqv6I https://t.co/TFwhqG1NK8
@MelissaKaulfuss You’re forgetting all of us who aren’t developers anymore for that very reason–OH LOOK, A SHINY THING!
@xyz_paul @darylginn That cat is being useful. My cats just stick their butt in my face.
Big crowd as @twalve kicks off the inaugural SydJS(J)! #sydjs ThNks for hosting @coderfactory! https://t.co/WouYzU7kGQ
Our first speaker @Noviny has a background in philosophy. I love this meetup already. #SydJS https://t.co/b57aP30Bdf
Jargon is alienating for new coders. When you’re giving an explanation, watch for confused looks & keep definitions short. #sydjs @Noviny
Anna from Atlassian telling us about her experience and how she “gits” things done. #SydJS https://t.co/7FyfjcUm2B
@slace @twalve Two more, actually. Multiplying like 🐇
Best practices for using git, if you’re new to it! Well done, Anna. #SydJS https://t.co/1nFul6RQQb
Intro to functional programming from @alex_karolis. YES! #SydJS https://t.co/wMJ3nw0dcp
@collypops @twalve @coderfactory This is the first one! On the final speaker now.
@collypops Not sure. I’m not feeling great so I’ll probably head home. How long are you in Sydney??
@collypops I’m gonna be there next week! Beer on Friday the 21st? I’ll email you details!
@DanSiepen OHMYGOD I HONESTLY DIDNT EVEN HEAR IT! I’m the worst. I will make amends. #grovelling #apologetic
@caleighmary @GGDSydney There are many different versions on Slideshare! 😂 https://t.co/0MdVmpOGtY A full YouTube video should be coming in the next few weeks…
@hannahcancode @lightningdb There’s a few of us around. 😉
@joshduck Hey! I’m coming to Brisbane next week to give a talk. Going to be around? I’m hosting beers on Friday night… 🙂
@gilmae You mean the lasagna, right?
@mattallen You’re not “tooting” instead, are you?
@mattallen It’s what the Mastodon people call tweeting.
Seriously.
@mattallen See, because you’re not ON Twitter, you don’t know about the new ALTERNATIVES to Twitter. https://t.co/uvGQIdvbdI
@joannaferrari48 ❤❤❤
This is my boss at @yow_conf! I’m fortunate to get to work for such a legend. https://t.co/1b4vbMT4iT
@randomknits HA! Genius.
Learning some fundamentals is useful though. I enjoyed Petzold’s “Code,” which is basically this comic in reverse. https://t.co/s6zm7Z6SoK https://t.co/anEnjaTpsu
@neil_killick Ooh, I’ve done the last four stops myself on a trip a few years back. Very memorable!
Marimekko’s pattern of progressive design – Curbed https://t.co/EffCzzCkJl I ❤️ Marimekko! https://t.co/5le9nPJu1T
If you want to keep the local music scene alive, start shows earlier https://t.co/wMZmJt3yHY // YES, THIS x 100.
I blame Nic Wittison for this nonsense.
Worth reading, esp. if you’re smarting at not getting selected for one of @yow_conf’s events. So many reasons, some out of your control! https://t.co/92FNYnATQ4
Holy crap. Just counted and realised tonight will be the 21st version I’ve delivered of this talk over the last 3 years. 😳 #GGDSyd
I reckon I might even be ahead of @glasnt’s emoji talk? 🤔
@glasnt Yeah, all permutations.
And it all started at @webdirections WDYK in April 2014!
@virtualwolf Yeah. I honestly thought it was like half that.
@brown_note I’m approaching the Platonic Ideal, mate.
Big crowd at @GGDSydney tonight, including several dudes! Like @msharp and @busbub! #GGDSyd https://t.co/AUbLvEGucF
@s_tabassum On the way!!
True confession time as @cathyblabla relates her worries and anxieties upon getting pregnant as a woman in tech. #GGDSyd https://t.co/l7IupuNoUA
“Don’t follow any advice you’re not comfortable with… including mine.” Good life advice from @cathyblabla. #GGDSyd https://t.co/7RYfbEMDAN
@katsbud @GGDSydney YES! Now I’m picturing many #ggdsyd women wearing @videosmithery’s scarves.
Public service announcement – if you’re not on the #GGDSyd Slack channel, come see me and I’ll invite you!
😂 @bottomley_g has the room rolling as she walks us through some of the SCARY FACTS about women in tech. #GGDSyd https://t.co/VG2HyKx2xi
As @bottomley_g says, I’ve got the Sisterhood behind me. (Literally.) #GGDSyd https://t.co/CrvqWjvI56
@darthted @dp_lewis Nah, it was @busbub! Slightly different.
@katsbud @GGDSydney @videosmithery Nah, but you can knit your own! https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu
@katsbud @GGDSydney @bottomley_g I feel like we should do that at every meeting! Like taking the Girl Scout Pledge. 😻
@mmastertheone You’re still not in?!
@mmastertheone sent!!
Married geek life. 🤓 https://t.co/FXtPZa9FxS https://t.co/RHxQjyXREc
Conference organisers: you should be asking @cathyblabla and @bottomley_g to speak. They’re both AMAZING. #GGDSyd
@mark_sabbatical @azadehkhojandi Yep, point was taken. 😉
RT @busbub: @ girl geeks Sydney tonight w @rosiepower_ ^_^ finally seeing @web_goddess’s talk on knitting and code 💯💯 https://t.co/0Yuzm7Oe…
And I am stoked that my awesome @welovecolors tights were captured for posterity! 😂 https://t.co/mvSs8rmUVB
RT @azadehkhojandi: @web_goddess #ggdsyd knitting is binary https://t.co/CJipCZRNUQ
Knitting was always cool! QR codes… not so much. 😂 https://t.co/jf8fWhU2JZ
RT @s_tabassum: Mind blowing ‘knit one’ talk by @web_goddess. Got to know that knit is binary, about knitML library and more #GGDSyd https:…
@mmastertheone 💃
@TheRealBnut The Slack is women-only, I’m afraid. (I think? Can I get a verdict, @GGDSydney?)
@mark_sabbatical @LucindaBurtt My knitted one scans! Took me many prototypes. 😁
Eating pie from new @moominofficial bowl!! Thank you @mmastertheone!! ☺️ https://t.co/MDVpku0iVC https://t.co/NPnfSZwWEP
@mark_sabbatical @LucindaBurtt Ohmygawdddd would you just come see the talk already? It’s all in there. 😂
@mark_sabbatical @LucindaBurtt Because everything in the world is on the 3rd Thursday of the month! (June?!)
@mark_sabbatical @karlbowden Could maybe do May, depending if @syddevops doesn’t take up my offer…
@ADuckIsMyFiend OOOH, YES! Do a crochet version of the talk, pls. I’m hopeless at crochet. 😂
@bottomley_g @Andrea_s_ho @keranm @hannahcancode You didn’t need them at all – perfectly compelling without!!
@ADuckIsMyFiend 😻 I’m doing amigurumi at @KnitGuildNSW Camp in June!!
GORGEOUS! And I ❤ that it’s not white. https://t.co/FIJ0c1fpPI
@amykate_94 Oh good grief – how can you even see your stitches with that stuff?! 😳 I only used it once, and that’s enough!
In the spirit of @glasnt’s post and “collecting Nos” and all – woke up to find out I didn’t get in to CodeMotion Amsterdam. That’s okay. https://t.co/92FNYnATQ4
RT @imdominating: “Not just breast cancer, y’all,” she says with her armpit sans lymph nodes https://t.co/GPaAqTLVxq
@darthted @glasnt I really wasn’t bothered. Maybe the key is to submit to a lot, so you don’t have your hopes up too high for any given one?
@darthted @glasnt Actually, in that case I think I didn’t consider myself to have much of a shot at all.
@jodionis @GGDSydney Thanks Jo! 🙂
Bookmarking @coreelecau’s Arduino Workshop for Beginners to watch later! #makers #arduino https://t.co/DMvlfnVM4f

Eating pie from new @moominofficial bowl!! Thank you @mmastertheone!! ☺️
PANTS. So Rodd’s been reading me Cold Comfort Farm as a bedtime story for a while now (although its benefit to my insomnia is negated of course by how friggin’ hilarious it is). And then last night he mentioned Flora making a call on a “video phone.” 😳 WHAT IN THE HELL. I thought he was joking. I made him show me the book. Did you know it’s set in the future?? Like, some weird 1930’s version of the near future!?? It’s so weird. I had to double-check on Wikipedia. I had no idea. The movie bypasses that entirely, right?? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Comfort_Farm
