    Second iteration of the @the_snook’s sourdough crumpets. Getting there!! https://t.co/rCzKyvCLy3


    @cczona @the_snook Mostly based on this: https://t.co/5fDzrghEg4


    One of the questions in today’s Good Weekends Quiz was about the video game franchise that “New Horizons” is part of. So thank you, all of you who’ve been spamming my feed with turnips for months now. Because of you, we got a point!


    @SophieJKunze Hehe, I didn’t actually give the answer away, so hopefully you’ll get it right!


    RT @atrupar: Pence press secretary Katie Miller is the only person in this photo without a mask. Today news broke that she has coronavirus.…


    RT @Cam_Rogers: Bit of a mic drop, this. https://t.co/ohdJHY6Oae


    @jesslynnrose Does it need to be Covid-specific? I created https://t.co/wPCtzMM3Ls and I’ve been running it for 24 years now, with visits from thousands of kids, parents, and teachers.


    Final push through “I, Claudius”. Messalina is still a hoochie-mama, and now his buddy Herod Agrippa is dead. Bummer. https://t.co/j3wWkkk9dU


    “Hussy!” mutters the Snook, as she brazenly manipulates poor Clau-Clau https://t.co/i0RUZ5oWWN


    “Is the marriage bigamous or not?” That’s what I’m asking, my dude. I’m shocked you can get a divorce by claiming he wasn’t home when you delivered the papers. 😳 https://t.co/jPQpMUqP3O


    Oh, sure. Don’t trust your only remaining oldest friend until poor man’s Geoffrey Rush mansplains it to you. POOR FORM, CLAU-CLAU. https://t.co/ZM6nutnmHL


    POLICE RAAAAAAAID! https://t.co/DDa8yksrxZ


    Okay, the head chopping was pretty intense. https://t.co/5qAJrqZntw


    Claudius is very not enthusiastic about his bros setting him up. https://t.co/HK0FjLGKHL


    LET ALLLLL THE POISONS THAT LURK IN THE MUD HATCH OUT. Ancient Rome equivalent of “zero fucks given,” I guess. https://t.co/dDNZX88f35


    WHAT THE HELL does that conquered British king have in his moustache?! https://t.co/SQ9W334wo5


    Whaaaaat. So Livia had a secret prophecy with the whole miniseries plot spelled out in it? She was so cool. https://t.co/gsgKzJVJaG


    Nero is a messy drama queen, and I kind of love it. https://t.co/z7WkPCQlQH


    Okay, for the record I didn’t know he was going to be shagging his Mom two minutes later.


    “Turns out I wasn’t the Messiah after all!” 😂 HA! https://t.co/J3ZrjiXG4u


    TFW you discover you might actually be Caligula’s son. 😳 https://t.co/CqMitdai7C


    Wait. Mushrooms?? And he secretly wanted it? So Phantom Thread lifted that from I, Claudius!! https://t.co/gWxxTj02Nf


    AND THAT’S THE END! If you’re in need of isolation content, I highly recommend you check out I, Claudius. Truly amazing. https://t.co/9yPXlcE9Iy


    It’s been a real shitty couple of weeks… and now it’s 12:30am and I’m drinking Scotch and soda after an emergency trip to the vet, where we left Amy Cat in an oxygen cage having a barrage of very expensive tests, and can 2020 just… stop? 😢


    @lynnlangit Ugh. Reject and report with extreme prejudice!

    Oh god. Another entry for my and @rosepowell’s collection of horrifying -preneur portmanteaus: “Petrepreneur”. Yep. Not even kidding. 🤮


    @charis @rosepowell See, I’d invest in that.


    @andykelk @rosepowell I believe it is referring to animals.


    @frankarr @sezshares @pyko Awwww, #shehacks! What fun times. ❤️ @WWCSyd


    @rosepowell @annie_parker Something about pet care I believe…


    @gilmae @rosepowell Exactly. And people are just puttin’ these in their LinkedIn headers, and every time I’m like, 😳.


    @DamonOehlman @rosepowell Well, in this case the person wasn’t thinking quite as deeply as you are. I believe they have some animal related startup. 😹


    Wow, I get to open for @troyhunt at @DevAroundTheSun next Wednesday! Go the Aussie contingent! 🇦🇺 See the full schedule here (https://t.co/NlKp2fDMdZ) and join the stream for 24 hours of amazing tech speakers. In support of @DirectRelief, helping those affected most by COVID-19. https://t.co/g2RoV72exz


    Genius. https://t.co/B8jBAOmJEu


    Yo @gabehollombe !! https://t.co/I9N6Xc6jHs


    Folks, Andy Serkis is up to the Gollum part RIGHT NOW. https://t.co/UZZsjbNPPP


    @RyanChallen SAME!!


    @RyanChallen Oh god. So good.


    @yujiyokoo Hey Yuji! Hahaha, yours was one of the last in-person meetups I attended, and I couldn’t resist giving you a shout-out because it was so cool. 😃 Hope you’re doing well…

    @msharp @gilmae @the_snook Trying hard to adhere to rule about not yucking others’ yum, so I’ll just add that Pratchett isn’t for everyone, and despite reading lots of these, I just never really got into it. 🤷‍♀️ (You, sir, are an Englishman who likes a pun, so you’re pretty much the prime demographic.)


    @msharp @gilmae @the_snook CORNISHMAN, NOT ENGLISHMAN. Apologies. apologies.


    @frankarr I have a strict No Shawls policy…. (That is pretty sweet though!)


    If you want to watch my @SydServerless talk from the other night, it’s on the @yow_conf YouTube page here! https://t.co/CCEg6yih0r

    Earlier this week I did my first streaming meetup talk at Sydney Serverless, and it’s online if you want to have a look! (Wow, presenting with zero feedback from the audience is tricky. I decided to overindex on ENERGY ⚡ to try to keep folks engaged.)


  • Shared today on Twitter

    Woohoo! My first @SydServerless in a very long time, and virtual to boot. Well done @petehanssens and @MichelePlayfair from @yow_conf for hosting. 👏 (PS you can join live! https://t.co/JGgxGJid7m) https://t.co/ZKOyLC3e5Y


    Aaaaaaand we’ve already had dickheads trolling the comments. Also, attendance rate looks to be about 25% (vs usual 50% for in-person meetups).


    RT @MichelePlayfair: Great to see you at @SydServerless, @web_goddess 🙂 https://t.co/jsDbrY95gq


    @MichelePlayfair @SydServerless KRIS IN SPAAAAAAACE


    Thanks @frankarr and @MichelePlayfair for capturing some screengrabs of @SydServerless tonight! I had a blast presenting. (You can also catch me at the AWS Summit Online next week! https://t.co/SlCs6ms1zI) https://t.co/BEhkVv7qkl


    @hannahcancode Yep! I enjoy the challenge of trying to use up everything from ours, including the weird stuff we shouldn’t have normally bought!


    @johnallsopp @NSWAmbulance @SydneyLHD ❤️ Happy to hear you’re okay. Get well soon….

    @msharp Paging @the_snook and @gilmae …


    @msharp But I’d say Good Omens, the one he wrote together with Neil Gaiman. 🙂


    @msharp It’s just a single book! It’s a different beast. There’s stuff that didn’t make it into the show, and some characters in the show aren’t as prominent in the books, etc. Could be fun to compare…
