    🙄 This married woman always uses Ms. and kept her name. The fact that it confuses some people is, in my opinion, an added benefit.

    This is the veggie box that we’ve gotten delivered every two weeks for the past two years. If you’re in Sydney, you should check it out! They deliver to the door and collect last week’s box, and there’s a website to manage your pauses (for vacations) and add to your order. You can even tell them if there’s something you don’t like. And if you use my referral link below, you’ll get $20 credit!

    (We get the “Li’l Veg box and cook on average 4x a week. It doesn’t quite stretch the full two weeks, but it would be way more than we need for one week. Every now and then we get something that we’ve never had before, like collard greens, but that’s part of the fun!)

    @gilmae Sadly, there is big temptation to monetise community ideas and work. I want women-run businesses to succeed… but this is disappointing.

    @gilmae Trying to take the high road (despite subtweets). Best response is just to do my best to keep free, community-run events thriving, right?

    @unixbigot @yow_conf Of course – @yow_conf swag is geek high fashion! 🤓

    Absolutely brilliant, and I will use in my next talk. https://t.co/IiydbMAgpQ

    Good grief, that is BUSTER BLUTH telling Dawson he’s responsible for euthanising Mr. Brooks. 😂 https://t.co/taIkRBJdhB

    @developerjack @caseywest What? In Sydney? YAY!

    Getting more women into tech is not a zero-sum game. We can have more than one group working towards goal without having to “own” the space.

    @charis @ghohpe Wait – did @ghohpe shave off his mustache?! #worldrocked @yow_conf

    You can now curate and share your own list of sessions for upcoming @yow_conf events! I wrote a blog post about it: https://t.co/R2935zPiLd

    @yow_conf …with cameos in the screenshots by @unixbigot and @sausheong. 😀

    Hey Melbs! @yow_conf is holding a tech workshop for KIDS with @SaraJChipps from @jewelbots! 💎🤖❤️ Learn more here: https://t.co/jju7eBRt47

    @gilmae I thought you’d like that.

    @SaraJChipps @yow_conf @jewelbots Can you bring a Jewelbot for me? I want to do the workshop too! 😂

    @johnallsopp For some reason I read it as Bell Jar, and I thought you were being very dark in an obscure way. 😂

    @Squire_Matt @yow_conf On it. Cheers!

    @charis Yay! You’ll be fantastic. 🙂

    RT @TheTinaVasquez: BLOOP. https://t.co/BSFLQ0wKXL

    @swjest @yow_conf I’m not on the Program Committee, but it looks to be a 3-person tag-team presentation.

    @swjest @yow_conf The website doesn’t show that well. It’s a new system; I’ve just raised a bug to the team. So thanks for that!

    @dp_lewis @200ok The JIRA equivalent of “did you rule out lupus?” 😂

    @dietrich @stickermule @stickerhd @stickergiant @stickerrobot How about for Australia?

    @chainedchaos31 @porges 👋 Somebody was asking me for recommendations of local women in games for a tech event, and I was gonna say you. But you’re gone!

    *gulp* Working on my talk now… https://t.co/3sO2h8N0am

    @chainedchaos31 @porges No, no, not me! Was just recommending someone to speak at a tech event. If you know any local women in games, please let me know!

    @mmastertheone That’s bigger than my first apartment in Sydney.

    @charis I’m at the salon now. It’s my only chance to rest away from a computer. 😂

    Hearing about @acloudguru from @petehanssens. He just mentioned he’s coming along to @yow_conf #YOWData in a fortnight! #alexasydney https://t.co/sjCIjbntnf

    DRINK! (First time @petehanssens mentioned Alexa and the Echo just chimed in.) 😂 #alexasydney

    There are some challenges in building podcast skill for Alexa. For one, Alexa requires https so some podcasts must be proxied. #alexasydney https://t.co/rrdEgTOEK2

    Alexa speaks slowly. When designing skills, keep responses short, don’t add too many steps, and don’t answer questions with questions. https://t.co/M6Up4WM8zY

    @richbuggy @petehanssens They’re giving one away tonight, so can’t be far off…

    @richbuggy @petehanssens Tell @JedWatson he needs to have more door prizes at his meetup so I go to that one instead. 😉

    Wow. I read this in a trashy magazine at the salon today, and it turned out to be TRUE! Score one for the gossip rags. https://t.co/HDGhbcaoys

    @saberkite He’s holding out on you. I gave him like 4 extra hugs.

    @gilmae American craft beer hipster trends trickling down to Oz. The Snook reckons “barrel-aged sours” are the next thing coming.

    @FakeSamRitchie @mattdelves I think the @canva talk is about iOS too…

    @gilmae You’re not wrong. Hoppiness went off the charts, like daring to make the bitterest beer possible. 🤢

    I know I heard a tech talk from an Aussie woman game developer a few years back, but I can’t remember who. Help jog my memory, please!
