A refreshing change of pace at #NDCMelbourne with @ItsTechBec talking about how tech messes up paper documents. Love this vibe, including accessibility shoutouts.

I heard this from a co-worker: You are not "working from home", you are "at home during a crisis, trying to work". This is important to realize as even I'm struggling and have been working from home for years. 60% effort may be all you can muster.

Replying to @ItsTechBec
@ItsTechBec taught me that printers are evil (and that the Queen was introduced to Chess in the 15th Century) and I taught her that Bee hives usually contain more than 99% females! #DevWorld #ScavengerHunt

In 1978 when NASA had its first class of astronauts that included women, rather than work on redesigning the suits to better fit women, they designed a makeup kit for women to take into space. space.com/lipstick-nasa-astr…

it's a good thing i'm sitting around with my thumbs up my arse, so I'm definitely able to help you with your "must be done by EOFY" job in the next 3 weeks. Lucky we have so little on that we're able to instantly help you with that request that you've probably sat on for months
