Monkey the Cat Hunts for Dinner
So instead of feeding my cat, I hide these balls around the house…

Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled. Listen to no one except the two smartest and kindest adults you know, and that doesn’t always mean your parents. If you do that, you will be fine.

@developerjack GAHHHH How did I forget that hashtag?! 😛
@Lackadazy Hahaha, I know! I’ve enjoyed a few of their singles; just haven’t done any dedicated catalog listening til now 🙂
Resisting the urge to read the comments on the Daily Mail article. @i386 told me seriously, “Just don’t. You’ll have an aneurysm.” Okay.
@DamonOehlman @johnallsopp I will definitely be campaigning internally for @webdirections speakers at @canva… 🙂
@gilmae http://t.co/VM8sNKQNTr I couldn’t even get past the title, really.

Public Speaking Opportunities
Interested in public speaking? There are a couple very good opportunities coming up.
- The first is Web Directions, Australia’s longest-running digital design, product and engineering conference. It’s taking place on October 29-30 this year. The Call for Proposals is now open, and they’re even having a special brainstorming/encouragement session next week for women who are interested but not sure what to talk about. Anyone who submits a proposal will be invited to a special speaker training session. If you’ve never spoken at a conference before, this is a fantastic opportunity to get some experience.
- The second is Ignite Sydney, which will be happening on October 20th. You can submit a proposal here. I spoke at Ignite #13 back in March and absolutely loved it. It’s scary and challenging but also really rewarding. I highly recommend going for it.

@lisaaharrison1 Are you going to @WiredForWonder? I’ll be there!
@chrisgander Awesome! So glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂
@gilmae I watched the morning and Rodd overheard just the audio. “Is that Erlich?” he said. Yep.
@gilmae Haven’t seen Silicon Valley? https://t.co/Wjb19Xad3z
@catehstn @chiuki Awesome! Will do 🙂
@gilmae I thought the first episode was pants. Then I gave it some time and it grew on me. I liked it by the end.

Exciting times! So thrilled to be here for the big 4 million mark. (We all went out for schnitzel on Friday to celebrate.)
I just can’t escape the Daily Mail…
This is me. Arts degree; worked as a web developer for 6+ years. Still struggle with this one a lot. (I think it’s worse she you work with super brilliant people!)

@randomknits Was about to proclaim my jealousy when I realised I could probably wear that in Surry Hills and no one would bat an eyelid. 🙂
I was really sad to get this email this morning. Thank you Valerie, Mary, and everyone else involved. https://t.co/J1jIcnEGft
@FlipPrior Congrats! That’s definitely one for the bucket list. 🙂
@Xavier_Ho That looks like a fantastic event. Are there any guidelines on what makes a good proposal? Or examples from previous years?
@Xavier_Ho Brilliant, thank you! (And nope – no notification for quotes. Interesting…)
@Xavier_Ho I’ve turned off all the emails, and I use Tweetdeck on the desktop. So I was never going to get it anyway. 🙂
@Xavier_Ho Also just found this, which seems useful too! https://t.co/ZX22CfgI5v

@drwitty_knitter Not a massive range, but it’s all high-end stuff from what I’ve seen!
Google just boosted the odds that it will eventually acquire Twitter http://t.co/XQgNh2Xgjk On plus side, maybe @the_snook will use it then.
Anybody want to buy my 2 tix to Insert Coins tomorrow night? The Snook’s been really sick so partying is cancelled. http://t.co/El4XfFtamT
@DamonOehlman That’s an awesome security feature, more like.

@developerjack My portion of the actual work is a lot smaller than @i386’s. One of the perks of being the non-engineer n00b. 🙂
@developerjack You really do.
