Wow! Excited to see that companies will no longer be using the same password to secure their AWS accounts as their CTO previously used to do their online shopping.

@afkehaya You are right, it was an amazing way to kick off the weekend!

I am heading up the 10th annual @SeaGL Program Committee this year, and I'm looking to put together a great committee filled with folks from diverse backgrounds. If you've given a talk at a conference before and are interested in helping out, I want you! DM / [email protected].

Props to whoever at Google who made https://t.co/pLKGVUgsdZ . Every year or so, I have need for a mail merge solution, but it has always felt very hackish and never quite worked well. While messing with scripts isn't necessarily "easy", it worked well! Will definitely use again.

@QuinnyPig The 'Pig' in your username is because you have a pair of pet pigs named Systems Manager and Session Manager.

Trying to buy a giant teddy bear? Disappointed Costco claims their 93" bear is unavailable? https://t.co/RIwhZPdy1g has got you covered!

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

A couple of years ago, Costco began selling giant 93-inch teddy bears in their stores. To put this in perspective, a standard king size bed is only 80 inches long.

@mikejulian @QuinnyPig @awscloud Testing it in someone else's account?

Who would you like to see Keynote the virtual @SeaGL 2021 conference? Nominate them at https://t.co/48XTSqxb27 . No prior keynote experience is required; if they have a good and on-topic message to share, we want to know about them. Nominations will be open until at least May 24.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@QuinnyPig You should see them once they are fully in costume.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@sakjur @TwitchiH @QuinnyPig Darn, I just paid @sfzoo a visit, and they had some lovely bears.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@QuinnyPig I have a lovely note from the great lawyer, @bequinning, promising that you will not be sending me a bear :) But I shale prepare for the next battle in this war, and I will emerge beartorious!

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

.@seagl 2021 is a go (https://t.co/cfiZfBI8RO)! @wholemilk and I are co-chairing the Program Committee and looking for volunteers. You should ideally have some prior talk experience, but no organizing experience is required. DM/Email ([email protected]) if interested.

Really sad to see that @socallinuxexpo, one of my favorite conferences, will not be taking place this year (but I completely respect this decision). Let the countdown to 2022 begin.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@mattstratton I will need to see a prospectus first. How many attendees are expected? Can I have a prime booth location? Is a speaking slot included? I'm assuming I can put my swag in the attendee bags, but what about flyers on the chairs? Logo on the walls? Badge scans?

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@vmbrasseur Somebody has got to think about important topics like this. Happy to do my part.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@vmbrasseur 100 bear-sized bears it is!

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@vmbrasseur That is awesome. Definitely looks softer than the Costco variation, and it is at a great gifting price, but they really need to make it a bit larger.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@mattstratton Anyone with good taste in cookies.

[Nathan Handler @nathanhandler]

@mattstratton They should contain chocolate chips. But if they do have raisins, it should be very clearly called out. Nothing worse than expecting chocolate chips and getting raisins.

@DuaneOBrien @TwitchiH might be able to help point you in the right direction.
