  • The greatest compliment I have received in a professional setting is that I swear like a journalist. I should add this to my LinkedIn.

  • How newsreaders and reporters manage to avoid swearing when announcing shitty lockdowns are extended is a true sign of their professionalism/the Valium kicking in. Lockdowns are no less shitty for their necessity.

  • Weeks later this article still pisses me off. I know it’s meant to be light hearted but read the room, mate. https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/we-re-sorry-we-looked-down-on-you-victoria-see-you-on-the-other-side-of-lockdown-20210709-p588d8.html

  • I haven’t even finished the mixed dozen I ordered at the start of the last lockdown.

  • Odd that Australia Post never sends me satisfaction surveys when the contractor dumps the card in the letterbox without ringing the bell. You’d almost think someone was trying to rig the results.

    Cranky Peter is cranky.

  • Banks: To avoid phishing be careful about links in emails appearing to come from us

    Also banks: sends email with click tracking via c_135792468.open_count1235.io

  • When @syedbalkhi suggested a plugin creating a comment moderator role, I thought that should be simple enough with a few filters. I was totally wrong but I’m really pleased with the final product and am glad we were able to share it for others to use.

  • Two weeks since my second jab. Happy immunity day to me.

  • It’s pretty cool how the NSW government waited until the federal government increased financial support before locking down properly and Victoria is now in the Morrison/Frydenberg/Berejiklian lockdown as a result. I’m sure glad JobKeeper has served its purpose.

  • Ever so tempted to order a finish at home set menu for two for one for some comfort eating tomorrow night.
