@KathyReid Hahaha, it’s fine, I was mostly being facetious. Based on what else I’ve seen, they’re going to have an uphill struggle to establish themselves here.

@mattstratton Given that I don’t think they’re paying travel, rockstars like you are right out!

---

Very happy and excited to host @rorosyd at AWS Sydney tonight. Great crowd! https://t.co/CyDyebZw3f

---

RT @rorosyd: Thanks for coming everyone! https://t.co/3QgwkR9bkF

---

TIL that the Dreamcast hacking scene still exists, 20 years after I was introduced to it… 😲 @rorosyd @yujiyokoo https://t.co/8avFf9HEz7

---

HOLY CRAP I just realised @yujiyokoo is actually PRESENTING FROM A DREAMCAST. He’s using the controller as a clicker! This is already my favourite tech talk of 2020. @rorosyd https://t.co/6FHjLLDtiW

---

One of the disadvantages of developing for Dreamcast: they’re not making any more of them. 😢 “Every time a Dreamcast breaks, we’re one step closer to a world without Dreamcast.” @rorosyd @yujiyokoo https://t.co/iI40YD3tTx

---

“Currently the userbase for this is 1. So if you get a Dreamcast, you could double it!” 😂❤️ @rorosyd @yujiyokoo https://t.co/zSvWHRGvK1

---

@mobywhale @rorosyd I literally just scraped the rest out of the pan and INHALED IT.

---

Next up is my old @yow_conf buddy @joshprice talking about pattern matching in Ruby and Elixir… @rorosyd https://t.co/0QKZzQOPxU

---

@mobywhale @rorosyd So good that I’m regretting not fighting my way in earlier…

---

I messaged this to @the_snook who promptly challenged me to present a talk from a Game Boy. DON’T TEMPT ME BUDDY. https://t.co/aQiD6R2idR

---

Final speaker is new @rorosyd speaker @geerop254 walking us through an @exercism_io challenge! https://t.co/sPgtrJJROJ

---

@mmastertheone @the_snook 😍

---

@jytc_ @rorosyd They know people. 😉

---

@justasitsounds @the_snook We were talking at the meetup tonight about games that required you to type a specific word from the manual to prove you owned the game!

---

Here’s me, @unlikelylibrary, and @knitterjp making our debut on the @KnitGuildNSW magazine cover! Jody’s 🌈 blanket is amazing. (Can’t spot me and Amy? Those are our hands holding the blanket up! 😂) https://t.co/DOpuNFN0v7

---

@knitterjp @unlikelylibrary @KnitGuildNSW Oh right! I couldn’t remember who the third one was. 😂 Should’ve remembered it was the other giant!

---

@gilmae Is it actually any good? I still have scars from reading Gibson in high school.

---

Was brainstorming this morning with a colleague on the Aussie slang equivalent of “the 4-1-1”. In the US it means “the basic info,” as 411 was the old phone information line. Any ideas, Aussies? Would “the skinny” work?

---

RT @gabsmashh: LinkedIn is NOT A DATING SITE.

thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

---

@chrisgander Sadly no. I massively overcommitted myself for the start of the year and didn’t manage to finish the monkey. So Monkey Chris Evans in a Cable Knit Sweater is going to be a gift for a friend… Need to start earlier next year!

---

@lemon_lime @the_snook Huh! Neither of us played Metroid so we didn’t get this one either. 😂

---

@Sparklesque @mechanicalrock_ @awscloud Way to go Sarah!!

---

RT @JohnTheCho: Standing with Parasite crew, I got congratulated A LOT. Lol.

---

@The_McJones I haven’t watched it, but based on some of the comments on @binge_mode, that Obiwan sounds like he’s definitely boning *somebody*.

---

@The_McJones PLEASE, UNIVERSE, LET THIS BE THE CASE IN THE DISNEY+ LIVE ACTION SHOW WITH EWAN. 🙏

---

RT @saladinahmed: when wizards from different factions convene a council because there is great turmoil in the land https://t.co/TBnHZ5zDHf

---

@randomknits Ugh. Bonnie and I look like we slept the same. Not well.

---

RT @tomandlorenzo: A choir of gay men singing Laura Dern’s name over and over again is exactly how I pictured my eventual entrance to heave…

---

@gilmae @randomknits Ah. So I retract my statement. In fact, Bonnie sleeps like Rodd. Damn narcoleptics.

---

TFW a new dev conference is spamming everybody to submit a talk but they only ask you to retweet. 😐 https://t.co/99j096N5lL

RT @eevee: exposed to bitcoin twitter again today and observing two things:

---

@aimee_maree @misswired I might as well!

---

Suddenly worried the sun is only going to come out for an hour and one of you bastards will have locked me in the closet. 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧

---

@randomknits I’m with Bonnie.

---

I’ve loaded video games off a cassette tape. https://t.co/oHz7H01by9

RT @DocHarleyMD: Oh no!! Our wave buoy installed off #Collaroy has just broken its mooring in last hour…now heading towards New Zealand!…

---

@errolwi No, but I think my Mom did!

---

RT @gerrycanavan: spotted on Facebook https://t.co/254gWSchRq

---

I read this one out to @the_snook, who immediately replied: HIMEM.SYS. https://t.co/oHz7H01by9

---

This is it! This is the one hour, people! I hope your classmates didn’t lock you in a closet. https://t.co/C4YunLLFA3

---

@randomknits I’m now yelling at Rodd. “WHY DOESN’T OUR STUPID CAT DO THAT!”

---

@hannahcancode @memily @katierynne I just go to MassageLink at Broadway Shopping Center, where I get whoever is on staff that day to bash me around. Even been walked on once or twice! But it’s not for everyone, I’ll grant you.

Old CSS, new CSS – Absolutely wonderful looong blog post about the history of CSS and web design. You whippersnappers should read it. (My time as a frontend dev stopped at DHTML. No regrets.) https://t.co/JUPQkpWSe4 https://t.co/WjLnzTQdnM

My mom insisted I take hand sanitiser a few weeks back to try to avoid germs on the long flight back to Sydney. I forgot to tell you all that it’s PUMPKIN SPICE FLAVOR.

This is a real thing that exists in the world. 🙃 https://t.co/2jdNGb10oe

@rchrdbyd I couldn’t decide what word to use. In retrospect, “scent” would’ve made more sense. 😂

Me: …sorry remind me?
Person: *says his name, full job title, things…

Me: Do you ever irrationally hope… that the supermarket cashier will praise us as, like, the valedictorians of packing groceries?

The Snook: YES.

Honestly, is there anything grossed than being on a bus in the rain? No, there is not. (I keep getting dripped on, INSIDE.) 😠 https://t.co/ffDys3drhX

---

@the_nathanjones Oh sweet summer (Perth) child… because it comes down through the roof and off of people’s umbrellas and the windows get fogged up and it feels like you’re going to get Legionnaire’s disease and it’s just AWFUL.

---

@meelijane Forget schoolkids. My office floor has moved to hotdesking and I’m lugging all my crap around like that as a grown-ass woman. 😐

It’s very dusty in here, OKAY. 😭 https://t.co/6bvPOLNqux
