  • Date: 6 Nov
    Type: Annual leave
    Notes: Extending cup-day to four day weekend like a proper Victorian
    APPROVED.

  • Goody, the AFL is doing another pride round (one game for lack of club buy in) even though none of their players feel safe coming out. Bold.

  • Mr Peanutbutter calling Dianne at the end of season two. My heart, it’s melting.

  • There are a lot of bad conference CFPs going around but this is the worst clause I’ve seen.

    CFP text: If your proposal includes one or more presenter, these people will be entitled to ... early bird rate regardless of whether the early bird rate is generally available and speakers dinner tickets available for purchase at cost.

  • #metrotrains has taught me I AM the kind of person to SMS my partner: shitshow, going to the pub.

  • Jet lag is mine now. I own it.

  • At each of the last two tech conferences I’ve gone to I’ve spent an hour squeeing with fellow @HamiltonMusical fans. Love it. ?‍??‍????

  • Anyone know who this @nacin is & how he is connected to WordPress?

  • If you’re a web dev making jokes about @design‘s circles, it’s border-radius: 100%, never a pixel value.

    And the joke is tired.

  • I think I prefer IRC.

  • Maybe I’m an old silly but surely the time spent lobbying for a tennis court to be renamed would better spent focused on gay marriage.

  • Love me some postcode pride, 3065 edition.

  • One of many CSS tricks with calc:

    
.side {
    width: 33%;
    width: calc( 249px + 1px );
}
.main {
    width: 67%; 
    width: calc( 100% - 250px );
 }
