IT Consultant at @LoopFoundry, helping professional services businesses reduce admin costs. When I'm not doing that I drink tea. Enthusiastic ferroequinologist.

@jethrocarr They're exactly the same people who would be shocked at guests treating their AirBNB like a hotel room, if only they had enough money for a house and not a Camry hybrid.

@developerjack @kitsonk I use the email integration with Outlook/365. It's fantastic.

@developerjack I'm currently using HubSpot for similar purposes and pretty happy with it. I've used Accelo in the past and loved the functionality but the UX drove me slowly insane.

@QuinnyPig @AWSSupport @awscloud Many years ago I was told by a mentor: You *must* try and work out the problem by yourself for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you *must* ask for help.

Obviously with AWS support I'd use a larger time value (a few hours maybe?), but I think the principle is solid.

@jonathanstark I was worried for a second you were pro-Trump. So, I went and found the tweet you mentioned (https://t.co/eIzO2jjvpk for those playing along at home)... comedy gold! 😂

@TheRickWilson Caption this image, I'll start:

@yaakov_h Is it just me or has the ABC's idea of what 'breaking news' means just disintegrated over the last few months?

I got a 'breaking news' notification about Barry Humphries death two days after it happened, because somebody had written a new obituary.

@developerjack Don't joke, that's what happened to Azure DevOps and I am sooooooo mad.

@jethrocarr Never fear, Tasmania did that with our water entities. We went from 22(ish) councils managing water to 3 regional entities, but then within a couple of years it was one state authority. You'll only have to pay for expensive branding agencies and consultants a couple of times.

@PaulPrigby @myknittingwool @angusthornett Cartela with her first diesel engine (note short funnel). When she got her second much better diesel engine she got a long funnel back.

@angusthornett Is that HMAS Melbourne in the background?

@yaakov_h Electron is a conspiracy by Big RAM to sell more laptops.

@PaulPrigby @angusthornett The steamer furthest from the camera is most likely SS Togo, her outline matches that in the photo.

Bit odd we’ve reached a rhetorical point in the super debate where governments shouldn’t legislate binding future parliaments & forcing oppositions to adjust or repeal measures. Sounds like a good argument for not legislating the stage three tax cuts 🤔 #auspol

[Jack Scott (@[email protected]) @JackScottAU]

@jonathanstark Yeah, nah. What about the three options in a fixed price proposal, for a start? Or a product ladder? Both things you've advocated for in the past!

[Jack Scott (@[email protected]) @JackScottAU]

@jethrocarr @software_opal Oh absolutely, that'd be amazing! We need more commuter overnight services.

I still need to do the MEL to SYD overnight XPT service, that deserves support here as too few people know about it!

A century ago, we already had electrified urban transport. What we lost in NZ and Australia was vast—Sydney had the British Empire's second-largest tram network, behind London—yet the scale of loss in the US was even worse. The mid/late 20th century left awful transport legacies

[Jack Scott (@[email protected]) @JackScottAU]

@jethrocarr Oh ☹️

[Jack Scott (@[email protected]) @JackScottAU]

@jethrocarr I've been on the train... with you?!

[Jack Scott (@[email protected]) @JackScottAU]

@jethrocarr Take the train! :D
