    Big crowd as Liam kicks off tonight’s @indigitek meetup at Google. Can’t wait to hear @celestecarnegie from @GirlGeekAcademy share her story! 👏 #indigitek https://t.co/Rj6t2LZR1g


    . @indigitek is really all about culture, and its members are building tech that preserves and supports culture: language apps, VR, and more. #indigitek https://t.co/QVkfcaqRpA


    Tiddas know tiddas. ❤️👏 @celestecarnegie talking about the importance of spaces where women can be with women. @indigitek #indigitek https://t.co/V2VO2hDtxV


    “It is in our DNA to invent and create. All that’s changed are the tools.” @celestecarnegie @indigitek #indigitek https://t.co/3O6TEQM3xx


    Because we all need more excellence – and Beyoncé – in our lives. ❤️ @celestecarnegie @indigitek #indigitek https://t.co/VBN1X0UElj


    FWIW, the 1st all women hackathon in Oz was a community event across both SYD and MEL. I know because I was there! #shehacks has continued as a free event in Sydney ever since. https://t.co/Ii7M2NyuZl ❤️ @GeorgiCodes @rowdyrabbit @daphnechong @sezshares @pyko

    At #unswideas Women and the Internet lecture. Hasn’t even really started and I have a new life goal to join a “cyber-feminist collective.” ✊ https://t.co/WLFDFRe6Rf


    For a lot of women, the World Wide Web felt like home… until it didn’t. #unswideas @TheUniverse #broadbandbook https://t.co/ku9CL6wTY9

    Here for stories of margarita drinkers unimpressed by Tim Berners-Lee and satirical doo-wop groups dancing around Cray supercomputers. #unswideas @TheUniverse https://t.co/3NX4n4REGK


    I. Love. This. #unswideas https://t.co/6i60wuNvqB


    Now the panel – five amazing women including @TheUniverse, @GingerGorman, @natashamitchell, and more. 😍 #unswideas https://t.co/2BNc0jgyzX


    Straight to the top of the To Read pile – though I expect it’s going to enrage me. #unswideas @TheUniverse #broadbandbook https://t.co/ZsYBLiQpch


    RT @castkr: There is a misconception today that technology is for, and has always been dominated by men. Women have always been there. The…


    “Do women build technology in a different way, because of their socialisation?” Yes. I’ve seen that. Interesting to hear panelist tie back to emotional labour. Too bad “caring” is not rewarded by the market. #UNSWideas @natashamitchell https://t.co/EnacMh5gE9


    Huh. @TheUniverse says it’s human nature to expect any new technology to be utopian and solve all our problems. But I think I’ve turned into a cynic… because I definitely don’t. Not anymore. It all goes wrong. #UNSWideas


    “What do I say when young women ask me what the percentage of women is like in the industry?”

    “With you, it’ll be one more.”

    There are three right here. ❤️✊ @unlikelylibrary @kcarruthers #UNSWideas https://t.co/QSCSKYGLo9


    @Reidyd Ah, we only got there right before it began so we were in the back!

    You would think that grownup adult mentors could grasp “Time to move to the next table! Go to the one that’s one number higher than yours!”

    You would be wrong. 😂 #speedmentoring #chaos


    @frostickle The rainbow and green ones are @buildkite 😉


    @mootpointer I think one person went to the wrong table in round 1 and the error just rippled for the next 9 rounds. 😂


    @TheWonkaTonka @imdominating Gosh we were cute!! ❤️

    Facebook just showed me the ad for the Nicolas Cage flippy sequined cushions. I blame @buzzyNZ.


    I thought the Christian Bale version of this scene killed me, but this? I almost don’t want to watch it, it’s going to hurt so much. https://t.co/t3HTmjrrJS

    There was a knife attack in the Sydney CBD today, just blocks from my office. One woman is dead and another is in the hospital. The attacker was subdued by members of the public armed with a chair and a milk crate.

    Scary… but with guns it would have been so much worse.

    @yoyehudi @rowlandm @intermineorg If you want to show code, one of the best talks I’ve seen on the topic was Damian Conway’s “Instantly Better Tech Presentations.” He gives advice for showing/explaining refactoring using animations, IIRC. https://t.co/yAHo1Pt2pc
