Archives: Notes

  • 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."

  • 🏳️‍🌈❤️✅🗳️

  • 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”

  • 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.
