    @sjhfletcher What??? So you’ve seen it? Was it dubbed?


    @sjhfletcher You should definitely still watch it.


    See ya, Vilnius! Next stop Ukraine. 👋✈️ https://t.co/t3OqO4uHYd https://t.co/5z4ma3iVOO


    RT @quorralyne: Conferences bring #Amazon and #Microsoft branded clothing together in harmony. #BuildStuffUA https://t.co/Fi5QdodpCj


    Got the instructions for our tour group tomorrow. “Do not take radioactive souvenirs.” 😳 Noted.


    @mootpointer @quorralyne @duanenewman Shhhh. Clippy doesn’t see daylight outside my house. 😂


    In case you wondered what Ukrainian hipster aesthetic looks like. https://t.co/86Je7ao7AE https://t.co/oyMeo9R0jR


    TFW an old Ukrainian lady tricks you into buying moth-eaten wool 😐 https://t.co/EDhJpIa2gd https://t.co/Z8SGnH7Lot

    My #BuildStuffLT talk today will be live-streamed if any of you want to watch! 1:10pm Vilnius time = 10:10pm Sydney and 6:10am Indiana. https://t.co/qBx9Q5XYZ7


    Not gonna lie – I’m a little worried whether I’ll pull a crowd at #BuildStuffLT with my talk on knitting! Rest assured it also includes data art, DSLs, textile simulation, reverse engineering, and machine learning. No knitting experience necessary! 1:10pm in Alfa. 🧶👩🏼‍💻 https://t.co/yrLTxxn2Tq


    @cczona It’s going to be livestreamed too! 🙂


    @diversionary HOLY CRAP.

    Pretty sure I’m the only person at #BuildStuffLT actually wearing malware. Come to my talk at 1:10pm in Alfa to hear all about it! (And go see @GLITCHAUS if you want your own…) https://t.co/TwFSZkUemF


    @cczona The stream stays up afterwards so you can watch it whenever. 🙂


    @captainklein It does! I’ll bring it to TKO. Points to a website that has the pattern for the mittens – so they’re self-replicating. 😜


    @bmusedbystandr @GLITCHAUS You mean “malwear”? 😂 That’s actually what he calls it.


    @captainklein Try this one. iPhone camera doesn’t recognise it but a QR code reader app does! https://t.co/PVCpCZItHG


    What a way to start a talk on mental health! @maryamumar begins with her father’s Wikipedia entry. A lot of folks in the industry grew up with very high expectations. #BuildStuffLT https://t.co/1BKUnocVQr


    I saw a lot of folks taking photos of this slide. It’s certainly making me think and assess. @maryamumar #BuildStuffLT https://t.co/N7la439mcn


    “I got off the plane and I took a selfie. I looked shit, but my friends said ‘You look really fresh and enthused!’ And that’s what you want from your support circle.” ❤️ @maryamumar #BuildStuffLT


    One hour to go, folks! Knitting, machine learning, and more in Alfa at #BuildStuffLT. 🧶👩🏼‍💻❤️ https://t.co/fLry4XALGc
