    @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.)

    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!

    @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…
