    @imdominating Were you watching my Dad’s favourite movie? 🙂


    @mathowie Yep, lovable purring grumpy jerks. We’ve got a couple ourselves.

    @yow_oz I had another idea today. Can I submit more than one topic, or would you prefer just one?


    @mootpointer Networking. Public speaking (especially when presenting technical topics). Professionalism.


    @mootpointer And yes, I will definitely listen!


    RT @hondanhon: Uber, but for giving a shit about other people


    @RoseRed_Shoes Did you send through a payment to Sew Make Create? She got one but doesn’t know who it’s for.


    @RoseRed_Shoes That’s okay! She just wondered. I’ll let her know.

    Standing in front of a girl.
    Wondering how she got her eyeliner on so perfectly.


    @Malarkey Good luck! My teammates who attended in Sydney loved it. They’re going to do a talk internally for everyone else!

    @blakejharrisNYC Great piece! I kept waiting for you to quote from Swingers or Mallrats though. That game was a mid-90’s icon. 🙂


    @carlfish Ouch.

    @gilmae @ericscheid @mmastertheone @stringy I’m trying to decide. It probably involves garlic and/or truffles.


    Just discovered there were no #WomenTechmakers events in all of Australia. That sucks. Wish I’d known earlier! https://t.co/hUivZKPCIN

    I mistakenly filled up the @GoGet car with Unleaded 95 instead of 91 yesterday. Just realised I can’t claim back. *sigh*

    @GoGet Oh, that’s great! Thank you. Was focusing on not putting in diesel and didn’t realise I picked wrong one til card rejected. 🙂


    @JM77 They do, but it can’t be used for anything except E10 and 91. Otherwise it gets denied as mine did so I paid cash.


    @gilmae Cost me $40! (The fuel card doesn’t work for 95, so I had to pay cash. But they just said I can claim, which is nice.)


    @gilmae I’m a tightarse, but I’m not THAT bad. 🙂


    RT @GoGet: you can still submit your receipt for full refund to fuel@goget.com.au, we know mistakes happen. // GOGET = BEST!


    Submitted my talk proposal to @yow_oz YOW West. Gauntlet thrown, boys! @pwcc @200ok @drzax
