It’s very odd to be at a conference where I’m not an organiser or a speaker. I’m just… an attendee. 😳

@The_McJones I am subconsciously compensating by drinking a lot of caffeine.

@charis I was asleep by 10pm last night. SO WEIRD

@mipearson @DamonOehlman My experience is in Sydney (and so is Jess), so that’s how I took his original tweet. I think GA grads are hard to generalise – many of them have years of professional experience and bring skills beyond just what they learned in the course.

Asked the Snook how his World of Warcraft staycation was going. He says the expansion is proving to be very popular… 😂 https://t.co/X4RAIFzNs8

@codepo8 It sounds lovely. I wish the Kindle version were available!

---

@codepo8 Yeah, only gives me hardcover option. Tried other stores too. 🙁

@twistieman As a bottle redhead, now I feel bad for getting them excited under false pretences! 😂

Ahhh, Venice. 😂🇮🇹 https://t.co/hLqsunsMrH https://t.co/1nZi4IAs0J

Vincent and I have done over 7000 steps before 11am, so a little poolside rest is in order… https://t.co/vKR6e19oOS https://t.co/ijTFxi642a

Random non-English-speaking Chinese lady just insisted on taking a selfie with me at the hotel pool. This happened on my last visit to HK too. What the hell? So I look like a local celeb, or am I some sort of mythical creature here??

---

@uxmixture Right now I’m at the pool at the Parisian hotel in Macao.

@gojkoadzic 😳

---

@gojkoadzic That was not covered in the employer-mandated high risk travel training. 😂

---

@gojkoadzic It’s a work conference! My boss is here! … somewhere. 😂

---

@jeffpatton @DocOnDev @davidhussman David – I feel extremely fortunate that I got to meet you at @yow_oz last year. Not to mention when you reached out to hook me up with an opportunity a few months when you really didn’t have to. It was unexpected and very appreciated! ❤️

---

@sj26 @MelissaKaulfuss @ZacDavies I want all of these beers, now.

---

@tomaszbednarz @Data61news @EPICentreUNSW @artdesignunsw Very cool – great work @tomaszbednarz !

---

Yep, backing up what Jess says here. Sadly, I’ve seen a few juniors in the Sydney market get way less than this. Don’t let yourself be exploited! There are employers who will pay you what you’re worth. https://t.co/0PlaR85UdB
