Archives: Notes

  • Having a traditional “home style” thanksgiving dinner in the heart of Manhattan tonight.

  • Two Evans down. Aiming for a third on the weekend if I can get last minute tickets. It’s not often I’m in New York.

  • Thank you @DearEvanHansen, that was something special. I’m a mess but it was well worth the trip.

  • I’m not paranoid about forgetting the tickets to the show today. It just happens that putting them on a chair blocking the door is the most convenient place to put them. Not even a little paranoid.

  • After weeks of hearing hateful comments from the No campaign I’ve decided to keep the pride flag in my name for a while.

    Fuck ‘em, I am proud of who I am & I refuse to let the ACL & co affect the meaning of this symbol.

    The pride flag

  • Passport, boarding pass, Sunday’s @DearEvanHansen ticket, and 10,000 miles of air travel.

    Let’s start this Broadway adventure. #TodayWillBeALongDay

    Passport, airline tickets and theatre tickets

  • If I never hear Macklemore again it will be too soon. Surely that will disappear from high roatation now. I guess that’s a positive.

  • The good news story: a yes vote that will lead to bunch of discriminatory practices being written into law.

    I’ll watch the result because maybe once this is over I’ll see the pride flag as more than symbol of this hateful plebiscite again.

  • Four days before holidays, a workmate tells me I am redundant and may as well go early. I will take care not to let the door hit me on the way out.

  • Reading this thread, it seems the outcome of this stupid SSM survey is a seperate definition of marriage & enshrining discrimination in the act, including making it easier for schools to expel gay kids.

  • Evangelical religious group and evangelical atheists are trying to yell over each other on a corner.

    Please just let me through. I just want to buy a carrot. Let me buy my carrot.

  • Alternative headline: Broadway nerds world over start making travel plans. Yes, I am projecting.

    23: @PhantomBway
    I’m embracing this, slightly tempted to see Midler in @HelloDollyBway too.

  • Nov 17: MEL ✈️ NYC
    18: B’day, jetlag, ?, ?
    19: @DearEvanHansen
    21: @WICKED_Musical
    25: @HamiltonMusical
    28: @TheLionKing
    Me: Sqwee! ?

  • A friend’s seeing @DearEvanHansen NOW & posting playbill photos on FB. To say I’m eager to get to NYC to do the same is understated at best.

  • Slack is down. I am nude. I am burning shit.

  • Is dressing up as treasonous scoundrel Arron Burr too niche for Halloween?

  • Started something here once, it didn’t go as planned but turned out quite well.

  • “It might be nice to get Hamilton on your site” Hello Hamilton: random @HamiltonMusical lyrics in @WordPress‘s admin https://wordpress.org/plugins/hello-hamilton/

  • Dreamt @Lin_Manuel was on trial as a developer at @humanmadeltd but delayed it to help Porte Rico. Need to lay off the Hamilton for a while.

  • Sunrise at the office. #hmretreat

  • Having so much fun hanging out with everyone at the work retreat.

  • Reached a high point in code review today, LGTM ended up as LGBT in a pull request.

  • New shiny is turning my 6K file into an 8K file. I don’t see the appeal.

  • Just had a sip of 49 year old wine thanks to mates at a Wine Shop. Smelt better than it tasted but it was $2/bottle

  • Great to see @jeffr0 and @wptavern taking action to deal with trolls, thanks team.

  • Need to start work at 9am today as I’m setting up at a new office. Finding it very hard to fill the time, how do you all do it?

  • I guess the @AFL supporting SSM is a good thing; it would be better if they fostered a culture in which their players could come out.

  • Serve up the WP Core SCSS coding standards with splash of opinionated nesting rules. https://github.com/peterwilsoncc/peterwilson-v3/pull/62/files

  • Oh my, this wine is going down rather well. I should get off the internet.

    Thread.

  • Thinking of getting my partner to write a Gutenberg hot take. Me & my agency mates don’t use WP like most people but Toby does.

  • As a user
    I don’t want JavaScript enhanced scrolling
    So I can scroll your app some time in the first minute.

  • There is an extraordinary number of things I have to remove from my laptop before taking it in for a service. ~/.ssh is just the beginning.

  • At least the Australian office knows how to manage a rebranding.

    News headline: Veda rebrands to become Equifax in Australia and New Zealand

  • The ACL’s implication being called gay is insulting shows their stance is homophobic & nothing to do with marriage. http://www.skynews.com.au/news/national/nsw/2016/02/16/straight-men-may-be-confused-for-gay-men–acl.html

  • Listening to Sweeney Todd before a cut throat shave seems like I am doing something wrong.

  • Proud of you, too, Gary.

  • My magic number game is on point, too.

    PHP code using PHP INT MAX and PHP INT MIN

  • A few things have changed with my coding style over the last three years. https://github.com/peterwilsoncc/rapid-canonical-urls/compare/0.2.1…1.0

  • It’s a shit to set up but I think I prefer Circle CI over Travis CI now.

  • Nicely done @wordpressdotcom, very nice indeed. 🏳️‍🌈❤️✅🗳️

  • Oh Maggie, you’re so close to a breakthrough. So close.

  • Bike the Appalachian trail or
    Write a book or go to jail

    My brain, each and every time for forever.

  • My partner has discovered the code editor in the WP Dash and is logging enhancements via SMS. Another person learning how to theme ?

  • MEL ✈️ SYD to speak at Women Who Code tonight.

  • I’m really glad to be working with this guy, welcome aboard officially.

  • Last day to check you’re enrolled for this damn silly SSM survey, please do. 🏳️‍🌈❤️✅🗳️ https://check.aec.gov.au/

  • When did 31 email overnight become surprisingly few? Oh, that’s it, when I started using JIRA.

  • No it’s not. Defending homophobic laws as religious freedom is less watertight than you think. 🏳️‍🌈❤️✅🗳️

    Newspaper headline "Same-sex marriage is more complex than the Yes campaign admits."
