@Serrels Did you not learn anything from the cold showers experience?

Unfortunately I'm thinking about becoming an Ice Bath Guy.

@SaysSmithy @DLLabs Loved the before/after photos (this is my Epitome lead btw). Is it going in print over weekend?

There are plenty of lessons to be learnt from the dotcom crash of 2000-2001 that can be applied in 2022. @DLLabs talks to three tech veterans who survived the dotcom bomb. afr.com/technology/i-d…

@Serrels You have my admiration!

@philipsim It's rough man, but I'm halfway through the year now. Might as well keep going.

I decided to only have cold showers for a whole year. Dunno why, I just started and kept going. Shit was a lot easier in the summer I'll tell you that.

@Tegan_Writes 🤣i have so many puns I'm not going to make

The new fancy webcam I’m reviewing tracks you with AI. When I moved my chair back it zoomed right in on my titties. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@ashabeeeee @GizmodoAU That's awesome Asha!

@rohan_p A much more subtle and local manifestation of political polarisation, that if left unchecked degrades into what is happening in the US right now....

@ssharwood @sydneyroosters @Tamarajawad You've enough ball to win 3 games already...

Looking forward to @sydneyroosters making work hard for @Tamarajawad and ruining Saturday night for @PhilipSim roosters.com.au/news/2020/06/1…

Congratulations @swan_legend

Super excited to have Seamus Byrne come on board to help us rebirth our Tech media and PR community. Always where my ❤️lies and great to be able to invest in a community I care so much about.

@MickLynch_Age The psychological impact of VAR no-goals massively understated. I can players be trained to not celebrate their goals to avoid the let-down that comes when VAR overrules, and that will kill a piece of the game.

VAR. What a nightmare. Tottenham denied a good second goal by a fractional decision so tiny no advantage could accrue, then Chelsea, for whom I have little love, also suffer when instead of being level with Liverpool their goal disallowed and like Leicester v Spurs, Reds score

@mikedoeslife @jendudley Not going to pretend any tool is going to stop drop-dead stupid PR.

Not sure how I feel about the push-this-button approach to news pitches.

@jendudley Appreciate that concern. The emails from our platform will all have that similar look and you can't use those to re-direct to anyway else, so as people get used to it they can hopefully develop some trust in that.

@philipsim Given how many emails I get from unknown senders, it feels a little like a phishing risk. I understand the general concept though.

@Serrels I immediately challenged him to a re-match explaining I underestimated him. We drew. So I'm at least maintaining he is only as fast as me, not faster.

I'll embarrass that fucker on my death bed.

With my kids I have a weird system for how they earn pocket money. At any time there are a set of challenges they can achieve. If they achieve them. They earn money.

@Serrels I have dodgy hammies so I didn't go out hard and he got a metre on me. I figured I'd just wind him in with my longer stride. Didn't happen. Goddamn 11.

@Serrels My son beat me for the first time last year. He is 11 and we were on a beach doing some warm up for his OzTag tournament. I figured I still had a few years left as he's also a midget.

@GerardNorsa @NEXTDC Hey Gerard, congrats on the gig! Be good to have you around the traps again!

I've just started a new role as Content Strategy Manager at @NEXTDC. Reactivating this account to focus on that sector of the digital economy. Will ramp up activity once I get my feet under the desk. Feel free to @ me with follow ideas and good hashtags to keep an eye on.

@Commsday @dobes @bengrubb Lizzies have never been run as a commercial proposition. If we accounted for even half our time, we take a bath on it every year. Its always been about community, and we all have a bunch of friends who now who write that kind of content, for whom I think will appreciate this

@ashabeeeee @bengrubb Yep Asha, as I said in another tweet, it is being grouped with the PR award. And it won't be considered as part of the awards that go towards Gold Lizzies. And its very deliberately an individual award because its there to recognise a writer, not a firm.
