Peter, what are the best songs in #hamilFilm?
Well, of course, there’s this song in the first act, that song in the second. But such’n’such is amazing in this and that. In the first act watch for this trio of songs, and that trio in the second. 46 songs later they regret asking.
I am overthinking #hamilfilm and have plans…
Show time: 7:30pm because broadway always goes up late
D+ have a one minute interval on the tape, pausing to extend it to 10 minutes
Wine: Nice. In a glass. Broadway’s sippy cups are bad, the wine is worse.
Breath, Peter, breath!
EIGHT HOURS!
I’ve just realised I’ve been working from home for more than 100 days this week. Kinda bored with it now.
Because I have a problem, I made a Hamilton Film countdown for my second screen. PS I do not actually think my problem is a problem. https://codepen.io/peterwilsoncc/full/KKVXJZq
If @disneyplus‘s horizontal scaling does not look like this on Friday, I will challenge someone to a duel.
In AEST, Hamilton drops at the very convenient time of 5pm Friday. Me at 4:59pm:
Middle-class CIS white guys explaining term X is inclusive, and they’ve always found community Y nothing but welcoming is my new favourite thing.
Yes, it’s always middle-class CIS white guys.
Censorship in the USA is the worst, Australian censors don’t give three fucks about language as a rule.
LANGUAGE!
1. On July 3, you're getting the whole show, every note & scene, & a 1-minute countdown clock during intermission (bathroom!)
2. But MPAA has a hard rule about language: more than 1 utterance of "Fuck" is an automatic R rating. We have 3 "Fucks" in our show. So…

There have been at least 434 deaths since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody ended in 1991. Non-Indigenous men are expected to live 8.6 years longer than indigenous men, non-indigenous women 7.8 years longer. #BlackLivesMatterAustralia
Yesterday the team I work with won a little international award, ❤️ working with super talented people ?

My WP journey:
It’s been real…
Can we start writing c9s instead of coronavirus yet?
I am too excited to come up with a wait for it pun.
It’s only a matter of time…
Our Hamilton film.

One of the idiot protesters yesterday didn’t want to be seen as anti-science for her scepticism of a coronavirus vaccine, 5G towers and the deadliness of COVID-19. They’re simply “anti-fake science”. Well, I’m glad that’s sorted then.
The hands down best lines of WordPress Core didn’t get props & didn’t close a ticket. https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/commit-messages/
I’ve been reading old commits today.
Last week @kadamwhite asked me for three songs each for partying & chilling. No rules. None were applied
Partying:
Chilling:
Watching Die Hard with my nephew who claims it is not a Christmas movie. This may split the family.
There is something incredibly satisfying about beating the shit out of your dinner before cooking it.
Food coma
Why am I craving a “Christ Laurie!” Sylvania Waters gif? The body wants what it wants, I guess.
So has the COVID-19 contact tracing app being explicitly exempted from the meta data and anti-encryption laws or is the gov just hoping we’ll forget they’ve overreached under the name of national security?
When cookbook authors call for covering a frypan with a lid, are the naive or optimistic that we won’t use a plate or another frypan?
How about we all fess up and stop calling them meat balls and start calling them meat shapes instead?!
Work uses Google Meet and when I’ve got a few meetings, I keep the home page on my second screen. To avoid the cycling of backgrounds in my peripheral vision, I use this bookmarklet.
javascript:( (d) => {
d.querySelector( '.q9EjXc' ).style.visibility="hidden";
d.querySelector('.yvv8Re.OAburf').style.backgroundColor='black';
d.querySelector('.l4V7wb.Fxmcue').style.display="none";
} )(window.document);
For some reason Mad World makes me think of dying bunny rabbits. ?
Currently reading this ranking of the various Arnott’s biscuits. This has gone too far. And the ranking is wrong.
The humble Kingston biscuit has its own Wikipedia page and now I’ve fallen down a hole looking up the entire assorted creams family.
As someone who works at a news organisation, you’d really think Anbrew Dolt would have heard about NYC, Italy, the United Kingdom and on countless cruise ships. Maybe he doesn’t read or watch anyone that will employ him either?
I included youtube.com/watch?v=cqvVL8IurMw as a sample YouTube URL in a pull request and now every time it gets updated, Gmail embeds a preview in the email. How am I supposed to remain productive under these conditions?!
Malcolm Turnbull was a true visionary when it came to the NBN. I mean, that vision hadn’t changed since OzEmail’s early days but a vision is a vision…
Sitting down to watch an episode of The Goodies before the news for old times’ sake. Here’s to your memory TBT.
Middle to upper income earners able to work remotely explaining it’s ill advised to access retirement funds to get through this pandemic is my new favourite thing. Entitled much, sunshine?
Does anyone know where to buy a hoop skirt for shopping in? Because people.
You can tell an experienced WordPress developer by their inability to spell small-a automattic.
I just cleaned the vacuum filter, why do you ask if I am bored?
Wanted: novel(ty) coronavirus stories about staying occupied at home that do not–I repeat, do not–involve running a marathon. Someone, please set up a wave machine in the bath, raise cattle in a spare room, really anything to put editors out of their misery.
Normally don’t do these either but #stayinside
5 jobs (zero tags)
+ Photo copy human
+ Tech support
+ Web developer
+ TV extra (a few times working at @rove)

Why do people people?
I’ve been going for an early morning walk (6.30 w/d, little later w/e) to maintain my sanity and have noticed the early morning crew are much better at maintaining social distance that the day crew.
One and bit percent of WordPress users is still quite a lot of users and makes dropping support for legacy browsers complex…
Now’s your chance to help the project set up some guidelines.
A typical 2020 dinner party.
Making dinner plans with @thewebprincess. 7pm over Zoom because that’s how people socialise in 2020.
The local cafe @milkingstation has been taking COVID-19 very seriously, in today’s episode of things that wouldn’t have seemed possible in January: spots on the floor telling customers where they should stand.
Harvey Norman have a 14 day change of mind policy.
If (and only if) your income is safe during this time, please go and tip big at a cafe today, think about what you usually spend on lunch each week as a baseline.
Again, only if your income is safe (I work in media, for example). If it’s at risk, look after yourself first.
if you’re having trouble focusing on work, or anything else, it’s not that you’re terrible at working from home or bad at your job. It’s that you’re doing this in a set of circumstances completely unprecedented in our lifetimes.
