Wow, can't believe you were in Brisbane! Hope you enjoyed it 😊

That is such a great shirt.
I was planning to be at AIMOS but had to cancel. So glad your talk was recorded! Fantastic talk!

I'm looking forward to this, thanks! (Too tired to watch right now but I'll make time for it in the next couple of days.)
