  • 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.

    https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Women-Who-Code-Sydney/events/241804473/

  • 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."

  • 🏳️‍🌈❤️✅🗳️

  • Twitter blocks multiple emoji in usernames but not actual Nazis. ??? @twittersafety.

  • Easily handled 90+ work emails waiting on Saturday morning. I love challenging projects but try to turn off.

    Account settings screen on iOS for my work email account, the mail setting is turned off

  • It’s worth mentioning I’m more worried about people less confident than I. At worst I’ll feel like shit for a while.

  • I’m worried about how I’ll cope with weeks of being told my 16 year relationship is less worthy. So I joke to avoid thinking about it.

  • Looking for a profile badge “vote yes in Turnbull’s homeophobic survery in which electoral law does not apply”. Has anyone seen one?

  • I read no [docs], so there’s a good chance that I missed a lot of things.

    “I’ve written an uninformed 1300 word essay”
    [rate translation]

  • I’ve pretty much resorted to fanfic. What if ?’s covered Satisfied with Cyndi Lauper in the role of Eliza?

  • I’ve thought about it a lot over the last months and concluded WP Core ought not have telemetry. It’s network tracking in evening-wear.

  • Thanks Mia.

  • Prat.

  • Dear Gov, I have a question.
    WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT YOU HOMOPHOBIC CRETINS?

    the bill for a plebiscite would return to the senate this week. He said if a majority of Australians supported same-sex marriage then Coalition MPs would subsequently get a conscious vote in Parliament

  • ??Same sex marriage

  • Impressed with my first look at Gutenberg but it has a way to go (it’s beta):

    • needs to be less first world centric; 2.6 megabytes, JavaScript only interfaces don’t play in much of the world
    • took me way to long to work out how to include a <!--more--> tag
    • inserting an image is more intuitive, oh caption my caption you now make sense ?
    • looking forward to the custom meta boxes ticket being resolved, a good deal of the WP eco system and thus a lot of careers are built around these things
    • it recovered relatively nicely when I broke the HTML comments used to wrap blocks
    • as ugly as the HTML comments are, i like that the posts table remain backward compatible

     

  • May also spend a bit of time looking at what I lovingly call the trash can fire.

  • Tomorrow I’ll be working on WP Core at work (thanks bosses), guess it’s time to dive into Gutenberg.

  • Fuck! There’s a merge conflict on the branch.

  • Told someone yesterday my job is code reviews & fooling myself that I really will get to pick up a ticket today.

    Today the dream came true.

  • I didn’t like X so I built my own implementation: the Ryan McCue story

  • Global teams are fun.
    ?? You live in a weird timezone.
    ?? You elected Trump.
    ?? You will be killed by your fauna.
    ?? Brexit.

  • If all the data is deleted, I’ll have to play it from the start again. Oh no. Stop. Don’t.

    iOS prompt: Delete "Monument Valley 2"? Deleting this app will also delete its data.

  • Can’t ❤️ enough.

  • On the way to Toronga Zoo with a mate, good times.

  • Already thinking about next year’s talk. A tech heavy dive into some of the cool shit I’ve been working on since starting at HM.

  • Proud of your willingness to fight American friends. I wish you didn’t have to. ?️‍?✈️? + what ever comes next.

  • Hey Siri, you’re really good. Excellent in fact.

    "Hey Siri stop being so useless and listen to this song and tell me what it is" Siri responds "Got it, I'll remember you do not like this song"

  • ? Sydney, visiting your lovely city with some other HM peeps this week. Who’s around for catch-ups one night?

  • Find out how Hercules Mulligan relates to imposter syndrome at #WCBNE today. 12.30 downstairs.
