My co-founders and I have been working on @NZTechRally for 6 months. We're super excited that tickets are finally for sale! But we're also trying our best to operate from the principles we live by. More on how we're doing that in the up coming weeks!

Late night baking learning: NZ cooking cream cannot be whipped into shape like standard bottled cream. Dammit. It'll be a damn watery matcha tiramisu. Shouldn't have shopped in such a hurry.

Oh goodness. It took me 8 hours to edit subtitile timing of a 40mins video. On a Saturday. This is why someone can and should be paid to do this.

Sigh... Alright, now it's time to work on those video captions, since the live one isn't usable... I don't mind rewatching all the talks. But what I mind is watching myself fumble through speaker introductions and exit 😩

Forgot my suitcase on a bus again... This is why I should have sat with my bag rather than putting it on a luggage rack. What an auspicious start of my Auckland trip

Was chatting with my co-founders about worst case scenario, where we get no sponsors and not enough tickets to break even. Then we listed out the expense items we care so much about that we'll pay for it ourselves. Mine was NZSL and captions. Theirs was recordings. #team

So yes, we do want sponsors. If you know anyone who'd be keen to help our cause.... Please let us know!

When your Civ capital city failed the mission to prevent religious conversion after 21 turns, it's time to prepare for bed. We'll deal with this after work tomorrow, you goat face 2 dimensional enemy.

So I asked speakers to provide alt text for their own profile images. Quite a few seasoned speakers were taken aback. They were never asked to do this before. There are 2 reasons why this happened, and neither bodes well...

It's either the events they spoke at... ...created alt text for their profile image without consulting the speakers. or ...didn't provide alt text on speaker images on their digital media, or do any audio description during self introductions :( #inclusion #accessibility

Let's be clear. I've only started becoming aware of something like this in the last few years. I've hosted many events in the past. And I never thought about this issue either. But we can start small, from today :)

A friend is flying over from Australia to my software engineering conference... ...and most of the ticket sales so far have also been industry friends and supporters. I'm so very fortunate to know these people.

Occasionally one wonder what would happen, if one change their occupational tag line to "I make things happen"
