Archives: Notes

  • The ABS (or at least someone claiming to be them) keeps sending me letters for a financial survey addressed to an obligation ID using form letters that don’t contain my name. They can access the electoral roll but still insist on sending the perfect template for scammers.

  • Yesterday along with a bunch of other people, I worked on a minor WordPress release (upgrade now folks). Last night I did a count of what was released:

    • 10 versions of WordPress
    • 25 NPM packages

    I’m a little please with everyone involved.

    WordPress 5.7.1 Security and Maintenance Release

  • I use the correct quantity cream cleanser first time every time. Where’s my statue?

  • Anyway, this WIX/WP drama sure was fun.

    /me goes back to writing code that runs four in ten of the most visted web sites 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • Does anyone else sing “lovely little pussy cat” to their cat in the tune of Alexander Hamilton each morning?

  • One of the nice things about sequential commit IDs in SVN is been able to reference the commit in the commit itself. It gives me a tiny thrill every time. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/50691

  • After upgrading iOS, Disney plus informs me my browser (Safari version null) is incompatible and I should update to the latest version.

    This is on their text only help pages, not the app. 5 stars, would watch again.

  • The cat is using the cat scratcher wrong. I’ve only ever seen this in cartoons.

  • It’s day two of my holidays and I just booted my computer and immediately logged in to my email. Under normal circumstances this would be a bad thing, but I’m giving myself a pass as I was logging in to stop wordpress.org related folders from syncing to my phone.

  • I just read Laura Tingle’s piece from yesterday. Did the prime minister only learn this week that women often walk around with keys between their fingers at night? He really hasn’t been listening, I thought it was common knowledge.
