  • Hey Victoria, what’s for lunch on this first day of lockdown?

    🥪 Something healthy
    🍔 Something unhealthy
    🍷 Day-drinking

  • A few hundred close friends have been making a thing, this is your last chance to test prior to the release of WordPress 5.8 next week.

  • Note to self: Stop considering writing your own.

  • For the last week I’ve been pretty much limiting my news intake to exposure sites and restriction changes and it’s been glorious. Some other things have got through but I presume that Barnaby Joyce thing can’t be real 🙃

  • Small business accounting software is universally terrible. Yes, even the product you really like.

  • The unsung hero here is whoever set up the integration template as straight down the line text. Never include in-jokes or anything else that shouldn’t be public in test content.

  • Knock, knock.
    “Who’s there?”
    @auspost
    “I’ll be right out”
    Just kidding, I’m a contractor. I don’t knock on doors, I just fill in the card that you weren’t home and take your 20kg package to the post office in the neighboring suburb. Byeeee!

  • Some marketing dickhead is running anonymous billboards “Hang in There, Melbourne. Stay safe ❤️”. All it does for me trigger a nice big injection of early morning post-lockdown anxiety.

    I’m now fighting the urge to go back to bed for some cat cuddles.

  • Managing a WordPress site & the Docker container is not a frontend role, especially when it gets 300k visitors a month. Calling it such will get you a “there’s a plugin for that” attitude and if you’re lucky your site will be slow; unlucky & you’re on have you been pwned.

    yes, recruiter spam is making me angry.

  • Jab one ✅
