I’ve successfully replaced a solenoid on the washing machine, apparently without breaking anything. I’m feeling very masc.

The WordPress test suite has included musical references for a long time (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and Shucked). Yesterday I added Wicked. Coincidentally, they’re all from patches I’ve worked on.

It occurs to me that Cabaret is a significant omission that must be corrected.

I’m pretty impressed that Fisher & Paykel sell washing machine parts retail and even more impressed they still stock inlet solenoids for a machine I bought 25 years ago.

Autocorrect has decided I’m the kind of self important twat to sign off my emails with an all caps PETER WILSON. It’s very helpful.

Not mentioned in this article about the Pam the Bird arrests is how wildly popular the graffiti is. More of a cult hit than infamous.

How many One Last Time puns is too many for seeing the final Hamilton performance in the country?

Jason Mantzoukas on Taskmaster is so fair down my alley that I’m thinking of getting a restraining order.

I’m rewatching Ted Lasso at the moment and reaching the tail end of season two. I need to decide whether I want to rewatch season three, it has its moments but is really lacking compared to the other seasons.

Remember that time Docker messed up their build’s signatures and countless hours of productively were lost at companies all around the world.

Weren’t the smug arseholes who use other dev environments the worst. ❤️ someone who has spent years listening to “What, you still use Vagrant? Why would you?!”

There’s nothing like staring at a content placeholder for minutes on end to make a website feel zippy. Perceived performance is where it’s at.
