Archives: Notes

  • There are admissions of guilt and then there’s node recommending that node should only be used with a package manager.

  • I needed to do a test the tests commit to verify failures.

    I can confirm that the test suite fails for node version 42.

  • I finished writing my latest WordPress plugin over the weekend.

    Its working subtitle is “Why write 1200 lines of code (including 700 lines of tests) with no build dependencies when you can write 3,200 lines of code (without any tests) with 73 build dependencies?”

    It’s hardly catchy but I think my version of the plugin is better than the latter.

  • Usually the cat sits under my desk during the day.

    Yesterday I took her to the vet to get a vaccination so today she is sulking at the other end of the house.

  • Indicator use in order of how much it annoys me.

    3. No indicator.

    2. Turning on the indicator as they start turning the corner.

    1. The guy in the red Toyota who literally pointed to the street he planned to turn in to rather than use his indicator.

  • So many tables on caniemail.com could be replaced with LOL, NOPE.

  • On Survivor Australia last night, Parvati mentioned that she and David had played Deal or No Deal Island together. Fascinated by the concept, I looked it up and the details are just as terrible as the name suggests. Possibly even worse.

  • An unfortunate side effect of agreeing to talk at a conference is the need to write a talk and prepare a slide deck.

  • After seven and a half hours, the house has become the smell of lamb shank. I am getting very hungry but there is still a little while to wait.

  • I decided to go retro when I drew a Kilopixel. Sadly I am old enough to have played Pong when it was new.

    A pixel art representation of the game Pong. The left player has a score of two, the right player a score of three. The pixel art is displayed on a wooden screen.
