  • To avoid messing with build tools on a tiny file I wrote some actual ES5 last week. I typed var. Weird.

  • Blogs are the new vlog.

  • Major events are a weakness for governments (see cricket in NSW, tennis in Vic) so glad I decided to postpone my Sydney trip for Hamilton this week. Discussing this with a relieved friend who did the same.

    Anyone who’s ever met me knows I love the show so to be glad I’m not seeing it takes a lot.

  • I’ve been using a GitHub action at work to check the common PHP and readme headers match in WordPress plugins. I’m using it on ten or so plugins and finding it very helpful. https://gist.github.com/peterwilsoncc/f677c5c401f896ee7fef668e72b06cd0

  • Doing pwcc things is my life now.

  • Now the cat has been introduced to the vacuum, I’ve moved it out of the laundry for storage so it’s not looming over the kitty litter like a clown in the gutter.

  • First time vacuuming with the cat in the house. I tried explaining she’d want to go upstairs when I started but she wouldn’t listen. I put her on the stairs and started cleaning. She learnt very quickly and I didn’t have to ask her to go downstairs when I went to do upstairs.

  • “Hey Siri, play New York New York” Random NY based radio station starts playing.

  • Should I just give up and alias `commmit`, `svn pull` and `git up`? Then there’s `npm commit` and `git run`…

  • This answers some of the questions about Gimlet that have come to me in the Bon Appétit series’ narration. That Reply All have allowed these to come up (they’re professionals) makes me wonder if they’ll address it. But I don’t want to hear from Gimlet.

    I want to hear the un-Gimlet-edited views of some of the Black & Brown people who have left the company on bad terms. Ideally via another media organization and licensed by Gimlet for unedited broadcast in the Reply All feed.
