From Free Video Game Meetup (PC Provided)

Hi everyone. My name is Calem and I’m hosting a free video game party (pc provided) This is my last ditched effort to make friends, I have no social circle or people I consider to a close best bro. I’m actually hurting quite a lot not having a best friend to talk to in my personal life Could you make a little time In your schedule…. please for me? So I’m hosting an event to get to know new people and hopefully welcome them into my life as a new connection. I have prepared several games installed and ready to play You can bring your own laptop if you really want but I don’t recommend it Some of the games are riddled with Trojan/viruses so I keep them on old laptops ready to play isolated. Games prepared Halo Cod1 Cs1.6 Cs source Generals Mohaa Bf1942 Quake3 Ut1 Killing floor1 Flatout2 Savage Warcraft 3 StarCraft 1

Melbourne: Tech writing in 2026 and beyond

Melbourne: Tech writing in 2026 and beyond

Wed, Jul 29, 7:00 AM
From Write the Docs Australia
4.7

**What does technical writing look like in 2026, and beyond?** Technical writing has changed a lot in the last couple of years. New tools, shifting job titles, restructured teams, and a whole lot of opinions about AI. So what does it actually look like to be a tech writer in 2026? This is the first in a series of relaxed evening meetups where we dig into that question. We've got speakers from inside and outside the tech writing world sharing short talks, followed by open conversation. **For this first session**, we're starting with a look back. What was technical writing 18 months ago, and what's different now? We'll use that as a jumping-off point for the room.
