  • I’m excited to see Web Directions and The Code Co presenting Enqueue, a developer focused conference for working on WordPress at scale.

    Get your tickets now while early bird pricing is available. Get your tickets TODAY if your professional development budget expires at the end of the financial year.

  • Ever since I read Deborah’s, MBE, Wikipedia entry Disco 2000 has made me a little sad. She went on to do good in the world, much more important than (in her words) being famous for sleeping with Jarvis

  • I’m going to write a blog post!

    … Actually spends two days tinkering on my site.

  • The Share on Mastodon WordPress plugin now supports content warnings.

    Very nice.

  • Good lord, I’ve found a decent photo of me while giving a talk. My mouth doesn’t look like a dog’s bum, my eyes are open and my arms are in a normal position.

  • Work scam email of the week: “Dear git-commit-by, I came across your resume on LinkedIn and was…”

  • The local pub is doing a beef cheek special. The bad news is that I only discovered this after we had bought tonight’s dinner.

  • No, Peter, you’re never a wet nerd.

    Come on, people, it’s not a big ask.

  • I’m at my wet nerdiest when it comes to variant Sudoku (once you go variant you won’t go back). I got in to it doing the daily Genuinely Approachable Sudokus (GAS), which for many years where hiding out in a Discord for the most part.

    But now GAS’s primary home is the open-web and I couldn’t be happier.
