    @DDsD @johnallsopp It’s quite expensive. I did meet a dev who said it’s possible to order it online “depending on your level of risk.”

    @drdralal Sadly, no. Already judged and no ribbon this year, but it’s nicely displayed at least!

    “We were all millionaires! …on paper. And then in the early 2000s, all that paper went away.” Ahhh, nostalgia. Been there. 💸 #WTM17


    RT @railey180: Visibility of your work is crucial to success. You need to be able to talk about your Work. #WTM17 #TellingYourStory


    Are there any skills you had to pick up that didn’t come naturally? “SUBTLETY.” – @joannejacobs 😂 Sing it, sister. #WTM17


    This is my favourite thing ever. Bless you, @tcn33. 😂 https://t.co/Leugq8tsnk


    Pro tip for all women in tech: sleep your way to the top. As in, actual sleep. It’s so important. 😴 GENIUS! #WTM17

    @candeira @tensorflow Ladies only for this one, sadly.


    @nickyringland @tensorflow Oh sure, yours looks cool! Mine turned me into a FISH-PERSON. 😂


    @candeira @tensorflow Workshop materials are all online if you want to have a go on your own! https://t.co/hTp3WCgP29


    @nickyringland @tensorflow 🐟 https://t.co/Hb3HUQWVkH


    @mobywhale Best thing ever. Now @the_snook is thinking of doing one with @diversionary’s face…


    TFW you’re training a neural network to recognise handwriting, and suddenly realise it’s the Pokemon workshop from @GPN_Sydney. 😂 #wtm17


    @piawaugh MEERKAT! ❤


    Every other sentence out of @piawaugh’s mouth, I see heads go down as #WTM17 attendees nod, write, and tweet. It’s all so good. https://t.co/cPdE5EAV8e


    “We have to question our premises, or else we’ll just reinvent the past but think it’s different because it’s shinier”. @piawaugh #WTM17 💯


    RT @zarahjutz: “Who cares what a moron thinks of you? Choose the path with the best possible outcome for all involved.” #wtm17


    QFT, and the trauma can be lasting. (I still have nightmares.) https://t.co/9ScntMfxSn


    @m4rkmc Thanks for that! Really enjoyed it, and have already shared materials with friends who couldn’t be here. 🙂


    @mibus You around? I’m here for woman techmakers things. TGIF drinks on level 6 👋

    Attended Google Women Techmakers today and played around with TensorFlow. I was using Style Transfer to apply the style of famous artworks to my own images. In the process, I appear to have turned myself into a mermaid. 😂

    Now *this* is disruptive technology. IoT for an under-served market! https://t.co/6sxceZvUz2


    @developerjack And I decided to actually get some work done at home. Without us, clearly the vibe will be a bit down!


    @gilmae Well, yeah. There’s actually no Internet in this. Fair point. (They don’t call it that.)


    “Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of the head.” 😳


    RT @pyko: @msharp @web_goddess @MelissaKaulfuss psst, April GGD registrations are open, and @web_goddess is talking! https://t.co/vL8ldEbaUn


    @gilmae We’ll see. I bought a general purpose TENS machine from Aldi a year ago, so I might have to run some experiments. 😀


    Patterns, generated from knitting machines, punched into music paper & fed through grinder organs. 😲 ❤️ 🎵 https://t.co/trppdhih9b https://t.co/nf8fOzcq3r


    @gilmae I saw this one recently that looked pretty cool! https://t.co/7BI0dakOhu


    @msharp @pyko @MelissaKaulfuss Given the difficult I’m having in cutting it down for time constraints, you may also get to see Peggy forcibly remove me from the podium.


    Not taking the bait. (You know who you are.)


    @gilmae Hahahahaha… Are you gonna come see the talk and yell it out in person? https://t.co/CXr8pmckaU


    @mcflydesign More or less. 🙂


    Holy crap, @mootpointer’s Lambda Jam speaker photo is amaaaaaaazing. https://t.co/wufGUrfuXi 😂


    @mootpointer It’s the most magnificent speaker photo I’ve ever seen, hands down.


    @gilmae Ooh, that’s today? SPILL EVERYTHING.


    @hannahcancode I agree. WTF did I just read? 😍


    This is remarkable. I don’t understand 95% of it. That’s fine. It’s still remarkable. https://t.co/hNH2WkKlcT


    @gilmae That’s cool. I shared it on Girl Geeks, and I think they had a fair number of signups. 🙂


    @lynnlangit Is it still a Cloud ☁️ if it goes under the sea 🌊? 😂 https://t.co/WbwAnM5Oxm


    @drdralal Be sure to check out the knitting. It gives us weirdoes validation. 🙂


    @drdralal No, I’m in it! 🙂

    Sydneysiders – I’m speaking at the next Girl Geeks! Tickets will go fast. (And guys – you are totally allowed to come; you just need to accompany a woman. (Sorry, Mike Pence. You’re definitely not allowed.))

    @MeDanHumphrey Especially when he talks about robots taking over the world. 😂


    The one upside to the lopsided gender balance at #AWSSummit! https://t.co/Cs6fTlFikw


    @gilmae There were no women speakers scheduled for the first session (across 5 talks). Perhaps after lunch.


    I managed to get a selfie with DJ Kanban, who apologised for blasting my old lady ears this morning. 😂 @mindsocket https://t.co/SPkWhUI1ma


    @gilmae I heard there was one in one of the breakout rooms. I haven’t spotted one yet though.


    Giving a talk/demo of Alexa is difficult when the device keeps hearing its name and interrupting. 😂 #AWSSummit https://t.co/Z8PA9ycbJz


    Same. This is unexpected! https://t.co/IiSS9jrJJT


    Just about to kick off final session with @canva’s @cliffobrecht and AWS’s @rabbieburns! Should be fun. 😁 #AWSSummit https://t.co/TuBgB7n86n


    O’Brecht. Dying. 😂 @canva https://t.co/3XXrFKQApp


    @mattallen Oh, I didn’t realise you were on @rabbieburns’s team! He’s awesome. Big supporter of @GGDSydney and SheHacks. ❤


    Listening to @cliffobrecht confess @canva’s origins in PHP! #AWSSummit https://t.co/Wi3zOGUSct


    @cliffobrecht I nearly lost it when you mentioned Dunbar’s Law AGAIN. 😂


    @knotty @cliffobrecht @canva Just that they don’t use it anymore!


    Beaming as @cliffobrecht sings the praises of @keisanpablo onstage at #AWSSummit! She’s awesome. 😉


    Advice from @canva for founders: You never want to raise investment when you desperately need it. You lose all leverage. #AWSSummit https://t.co/9tApgdGty5


    @GuyKawasaki Cliff just told the Frog and Scorpion parable to an audience at Sydney AWS Summit. Reminded me of you!


    @NicoleWill100 I hope Juliana Hatfield is next on the playlist!


    @GuyKawasaki No! But I knew. I knew. 😉


    @unixbigot @canva You’re kidding. I hope??
