    Gearing up for 3rd conference in a week. Not even sure what day it is anymore… (@ Melbourne Airport (MEL)) https://t.co/DmTpKsKiGd

    @evanderkoogh Melbourne for Connected!

    Actual proof that @evanderkoogh and I were in the same place at the same time. Briefly. And it was windy. 🌬😁😁 https://t.co/fin93YcGDA

    @melissa_loh Haha, I did the same with mine!

    @evanderkoogh Though clearly Mother Nature objected to the disruption of the universe.

    @knightstickc Bunting?!

    Really flattered and honoured by this review of my talk at @DDDPerth! Thanks so much @dashperth. 😊 https://t.co/YuLU6GMf88

    @the_nathanjones @battlepanda_au My hair was very 🔥 in those photos. I shall be talking to my stylist.

    @battlepanda_au @the_nathanjones Also now that I look… 👏 it finally looks like him! He’ll probably shave his head now and ruin it.

    I just gave them $100. Cory Bernardi sucks, and these kids are awesome. 👗❤️ https://t.co/8IbxWPcrxT

    @mootpointer Why didn’t you come to the speaker drinks! We were having burgers.

    @mootpointer Crap. I’m so sorry. There’s a dinner Friday night too. I will follow up.

    @yow_conf @daveathomas @smithcdau And me!! (If my breakfast arrives in time…)

    @yow_conf @daveathomas @smithcdau I’m just in the cafe at the hotel! It will take me 30s to get there. 😂

    View of the big crowd from the front at #YOWconnected as @smithcdau runs through today’s speakers! https://t.co/6VNiSeyWBG

    “At @jetbrains, we think the tooling is as important as the language.” Keynote speaker @sveta_isakova telling us about Kotlin #YOWconnected https://t.co/YjjW9bvFiB

    Watching with awe as @sammy_lee12 sketchnotes @sveta_isakova’s keynote in real time… #YOWconnected https://t.co/RLiSyDdS2H

    Wow. Java -> Kotlin is definitely more concise! 😳 #YOWconnected @sveta_isakova https://t.co/7IXciBdDlv

    @GeoffreyHuntley @sammy_lee12 @sveta_isakova It’s growing, and more colours are happening. This is amazing.

    Ooh, getting preview of new annotations coming in the next version of Kotlin… #YOWConnected @sveta_isakova https://t.co/p9HzZGOPpD

    Lambdas! You can use them in Kotlin for real programming, “not just academic.” 😂 #YOWconnected @sveta_isakova https://t.co/aWYPhAmjfx

    The second #YOWData talk on Apache Beam. And hey, @BonaciDavor brought stickers! https://t.co/rO6AA5W8ol

    Current state of the Beam ecosystem from @BonaciDavor. #YOWData https://t.co/cpBL2FPbI1

    Next up: @joycexinyuewang from @Data61news explaining how to deal with covariate shift and selection bias in machine learning. #YOWData https://t.co/4TsgJRm6rL

    Great example of using active learning to correct covariate shift from @joycexinyuewang at #YOWData! https://t.co/lcHdDRP9K3

    Roman from @QuantiumAU walking us through a “simple” conversion from batch processing to streaming. “We thought it would be fun!” 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/VrKAfilnFy

    “So this was technically true, but practically useless. … We weren’t having much fun with streaming at this point.” 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/ZG5Pk2YSOc

    @_ananth_ Are you here? Please come say hello!!

    RT @ADuckIsMyFiend: Back at #yowdata time to learn more about spark https://t.co/tikumGf0EX

    @_ananth_g Hey! Are you here? You’re on third this session. 🙂

    Learning about how Spark fits in to a machine learning lifecycle from @j_houg. #YOWData https://t.co/pMZtg5fWJA

    A real world example from @j_houg on using ML to predict customer churn. #YOWData (I like the 🐠 metaphor!) https://t.co/pHJKsbF7SK

    Between @j_houg’s pickle slides and our speakers from @TheLastPickle, seriously regretting that lunch didn’t include pickles. #YOWData https://t.co/OqKOrN8qlF

    Protip for big data speakers from @j_houg: make sure images are blue and use binary. 😂 https://t.co/lOOpGOngHW is a great source! #YOWData https://t.co/JKteThG1lq

    Fascinating case study from @a4dev about capturing metrics from an electrical network. #YOWData https://t.co/mC5IAiivLW

    Sometimes a simple example turns out not so simple. A data analysis story in 4 parts from @a4dev… #YOWData https://t.co/E7Zd4KT4jk

    Learning about Apache Apex from @_ananth_g at #YOWData… https://t.co/OV8eUHg4t0

    RT @GDGMelbourne: Come and see Kris Howard @web_goddess from Yow! on “Leaving the Tech Industry Better than We Found It” #devfest17 https:/…

    Final #YOWData session being introduced by PC chair @delitescere. We want YOU to submit next year! https://t.co/WaUFfzYnjz

    Honest talk about the archetypes of data pipeline builders and how they can work together. 😂 #YOWData @YRodenski https://t.co/7UJAFXAAep

    RT @unixbigot: From @yrodenski at #YOWData “I live in Melbourne, because I value coffee over weather”

    Live coding! @YRodenski is giving us a demo of using Apache Amaterasu to deploy a data pipeline. #YOWData https://t.co/BARGzeWRtV

    The beard is back! @mck_sw is talking to us about Zipkin and the need for tracing across systems. #YOWData https://t.co/gqFm1Z6ytd

    It’s finally time! @ADuckIsMyFiend is taking us on a road trip to find the most popular street name in Australia. #YOWData 🛣🚘 https://t.co/mNw5mvksVB

    @tcn33 @ADuckIsMyFiend You’ll have to watch the video when it comes out! 😉 Or come see it when she does it again at @linuxconfau

    RT @unixbigot: That was an electrifying closing presentations at #YOWData from @ADuckIsMyFiend. Well done!

    Two more YESses. Come on, Australia. #voteyes 🏳️‍🌈❤️ https://t.co/Mpadr4daaE https://t.co/TTvTt1fbQf

    Tired of your conference badge hanging too low? @unixbigot has invented a 3-D printed Lanyard Looper! https://t.co/S6XhUfvRiZ https://t.co/cjBhpzbJ0z

    @nomiddlename …aaaand suddenly I realised why you looked familiar to me. https://t.co/gP5UcR5iL5 Should’ve worn the Joker makeup. 🙂

    Sydney folks: Spots still available for #yownight with @sveta_isakova on 09/26! Do better with Kotlin. @SydKotlin https://t.co/Nx9wjj4EYJ

    @Lackadazy You could do it in a weekend! Hardest part would be finding the gradient-dyed wool.

    @Lackadazy That’s one way! (I’ll also be fundraising for ovarian cancer research via Frocktober next month. Perhaps an arrangement can be worked out…)

    Will I make it to the @VirginAustralia bag drop in time? Never left it this close before. Not good. 😨

    @MichelePlayfair LOVE IT.

    Thanks @MichelePlayfair for the tip! I love this. ⚾️ knitting!! https://t.co/nQR4JvmaZW

    RT @alyankovic: Looks like I’m playing the Hollywood Bowl again this year. This time as an Oompa Loompa. https://t.co/n9m8AxEd3T

    WOOO! Won my game of airport chicken. 💃🛫

    @gilmae It was!

    My amazing friend @shvedma introducing the next speaker at #YOWData! Be sure to check out @GGDSydney. https://t.co/QkgpvWkrFV

    Hearing @mck_sw talk about his experiences with big data and microservices working for largest Scandinavian classifieds co. #YOWData https://t.co/ee8UALTJ2k

    My old colleague Richard Morwood is going to tell us about using AWS for near real time video game analytics. #YOWData https://t.co/i059EAzTvh

    Richard gets a chuckle by pointing out the weirdness of the term “serverless.” 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/eW88GV8FBs

    @unixbigot As someone currently stuck on a too hard level in a game, I wish more game devs did this.

    Massive unsolicited spruik for AWS Athena from Richard, who is a big fan. He’s giving us SO MUCH INFORMATION in a short talk! #YOWData https://t.co/jCOsZQ2Wwd

    Natalia from @Data61news giving an intro to graphs before jumping into graph analytics. #YOWData https://t.co/Rwn2ZCCvhq

    I’ve been looking forward to hearing @sausheong speak for 6+ months! He’s visiting us all the way from @SPGroupSG! #YOWData https://t.co/I5FWama0gT

    @phoebegoh They’re all being recorded! Will be on YouTube eventually.

    Learning about Lambda and Kappa architectures from @radek1st. Helpful comparison info! #YOWData https://t.co/9uYGObzc51

    Protip for tech speakers: be like @radek1st. Recording demo and narrating it is so much easier than live coding! #YOWData https://t.co/AeURngLJ4A

    @battlepanda_au @radek1st It’s been recorded! Will go up on YouTube at some point.

    Deep dive into writing better R code from Ondrej Ivanič at CBA… #YOWData https://t.co/m3RN3CE7e2

    Next up is @yow_conf veteran @unixbigot telling us about IoT and data at scale. (I liked the footnote in his intro.) 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/OyqDneWVAh

    “Should we be paying our dishwashers a living wage?” @unixbigot asking the hard questions at #YOWData. https://t.co/4iXmeoCNsF

    Bluetooth – don’t chew on biros. 😂 @unixbigot #YOWData https://t.co/pHrVlAHOjB

    Honestly, if you want a great IoT speaker for your conference, you should invite @unixbigot. Funny, smart, and entertaining! https://t.co/iuyKr1Jpz1

    Daniel from @EPICentreUNSW telling us about some of the cool visualisation toys he gets to play with at @UNSW. #YOWData https://t.co/XqI5cwVvCi

    “Visualisation… transforms the symbolic into the geometric.” Well put. #YOWData https://t.co/uZU7BbrqMS

    Daniel’s talk is making me want to re-read Flatland… #YOWData https://t.co/uya9QAXqfP

    Fascinating and beautiful examples of a geometric approach to data visualisation. #YOWData https://t.co/Tq9pcxLA7L

    Heh. @ramanbob’s vintage @yow_conf 2012 t-shirt nearly distracted me from spotting @JeffreyTheobald in his team photo. 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/SLRL1bMKp9

    @lyynx @msandfor Whaaaa. @antonemdin – I am disappoint. I am a PATRON and recognised your art immediately! 😂

    Zendesk Data Product team worked to break down silos and have single product teams. Ratio changes whether in prod or research. #YOWData https://t.co/U2Ai07x9T3

    @minxdragon The photo makes it look like you’re on the cover of YOW! MAGAZINE. 😁

    Last talk of the day is @aaronmorton from @TheLastPickle talking about IoT and Apache Cassandra. “I might be a little biased…” 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/M8uVh6xx0z

    More tech talks should describe availability and consistency using 🐶 and 🐱. #YOWData @aaronmorton https://t.co/yrbqHwpdJ1

    Protip for tech speakers: use GIANT text for code like @aaronmorton. Everyone in audience can read it easily. 👏 #YOWData https://t.co/EiNbXW7z6k

    Highlight of the day was definitely scoring a 3-D printed Lanyard Looper from the inventor himself, @unixbigot! https://t.co/ze6voJrYFa

    RT @ADuckIsMyFiend: Going to be speaking about street names at #yowdata tomorrow. Also going to be talking about them at @linuxconfau next…

    @ADuckIsMyFiend @linuxconfau Got selected? YAYYY awesome!

    Upcoming @yow_conf events for the remainder of 2017! Don’t forget to submit for the CTO Summits… #YOWData https://t.co/2qmza0W4qZ

    Really excited to have @jessetanderson here from the US to talk about Apache Beam! #YOWData https://t.co/lfIqtjsbLw

    RT @unixbigot: First up at #YOWData @jessetanderson hypnotizes the audience YOU WILL USE APACHE BEAM.

    Also note @HealthHackAu is coming up in Sydney in November! I’ll be a judge. You should sign up to participate. https://t.co/f4N00axaij https://t.co/hpPL9vqIGv

    There are far too many big data frameworks and technologies out there. Beam means you don’t have to rewrite code. #YOWData @jessetanderson https://t.co/ToK4Sjy00n

    How to amuse geeks – sneak in a Star Wars reference in your code examples. 😂 #YOWData @jessetanderson https://t.co/ME0Kf32wpM

    From Star Wars to Star Trek references… it’s all happening at #YOWData! @nomiddlename talking about image recognition for non-experts… https://t.co/qEJ3aXQgXs

    Learning how ad networks work. “…because the relentless acquisition of material goods keeps us from staring into the abyss.” 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/BAkEwEe5ch

    @hannahcancode My miniconf got approved!! 😳

    @chrisgander Totally made me cry.

    @hannahcancode Art + Tech! SO MANY IDEAS. We will talk. 🙂

    @yow_conf Yay, is that @chaitanyakuber? 👋

    @glasnt @hannahcancode Yes! I’d also like any advice you have on running a successful, awesome miniconf.

    @LapTop006 You really should!

    @TheRealBnut @hannahcancode Brilliant – thanks for the tip!

    Fun #YOWData speaker drinks tonight! Great chats with @minxdragon and @ADuckIsMyFiend. https://t.co/sirplHdbvf

    Love is… arriving home after 4 days away to “I made you chicken Wellington and there’s rosé chilling in the fridge.” 😍

    @cprieto Your talk gave me flashbacks to when my Aunt sold off her vintage 2600 and collection of games in a GARAGE SALE before I could stop her. 😭

    RT @msandfor: “The Campsite Rule” https://t.co/kqFdPNXml1 by @msandfor on @LinkedIn Inspired by @Web_Goddess and @DDDPerth #DDDPerth

    @msandfor @DDDPerth You wrote a thing, inspired by my thing?! 😍

    @lemon_lime Around the same time “basic” became an insult, I reckon.

    Slides from my #dddperth talk are now online! The Campsite Rule – Leaving the Tech Industry Better Than We Found It https://t.co/H2cDAVJ8hB https://t.co/GwF7vo6vgj

    Though really, they’re not going to mean a great deal without the accompanying video…

    @battlepanda_au Nah, only 2-5, 8, and 22 were mine. The rest all @unsplash and @wocintechchat!

    I have a BA in Film, TV, and Theatre. Have been working in tech my whole career! #unqualifiedfortech https://t.co/rjs25C1wa1

    RT @unixbigot: Good morning Sydney. I’m excited for the #YOWData conference, and awed to be among so many brilliant minds. Yes, you.

    @maybekatz @natalieisonline @alicegoldfuss Same! I had no idea there were so many of us. 🙂

    Morning keynote! Learning about big data and genomics from @lynnlangit and @allPowerde. (10% of ppl hate coriander? Poor things!) #YOWData https://t.co/iMB1ONYRsT

    RT @delitescere: Kicking off @yow_conf day 1 of #YOWData – a heavy-hitting and information-packed programme. https://t.co/9RQutS5X4F

    Sad about missing #YOWData? You can still sign up for @jessetanderson’s Apache Beam workshop on Wednesday! https://t.co/fJdyUpV3wh

    Due to privacy conditions, @lynnlangit & @allPowerde can’t show cancer genomics data. So instead… HIPSTERISM as fake disease. 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/cnxMnPtoMt

    The hipster phenotype is characterised by unibrow, checked shirt, beard, and coffee consumption. 😂😂 #YOWData https://t.co/H0lRV1NdcG

    RT @minxdragon: Fake disease genotypes – hipsters! Of course Melbourne is the main vector #yowdata https://t.co/cFIKYJDm5z

    Somewhere my friend @diversionary just had a shiver go up his spine. 😂 #YOWData https://t.co/2kzYen7Vw2

    Genetic editing offers the possibility of eradicating genetic diseases. Currently achieving a 70% success rate in some cases! 😳 #YOWData https://t.co/eaA0ELRJ1W

    Loving @minxdragon’s amazing slides about the future of art created by computers – some of them a bit disturbing! #YOWData https://t.co/Yl2woZ2gmC
