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

I’m looking for a desk to rent at a small office in Melbourne, preferably at a design or dev shop. Please DM if you can help out.

When an entrepreneur works all hours & says they have high expectations of their staff, they mean unpaid overtime.

What DID happen to the Whitlams after Chunky Chunky Air Guitar?

This is catastrophic. In my feedback to @SlackHQ I made a typo and used “emojis” as the plural for emoji. ?‍♂️

Was great to see @markdalgleish explaining some conservative approaches to CSS-in-JS @ MelbCSS last night. https://youtu.be/X_uTCnaRe94

Made people in six countries reschedule a regular meeting so I could start going to MelbCSS again. The food is that good.

Condemned by John Dean?!

Thanks Google. I know. I was there.

I’ll be speaking at the Computer Graphics meetup on July 11.

I’ve missed that last two weeks of Doctor Who. Any reason I should bother picking it up again, is it suddenly good?

Pretty happy to be back working at the Docklands Library for the next few weeks.

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.

Are profits from Apple’s pride watchband going to a civil rights group?

Right, kids, I’ve had it.

None of you are going home until you tell me who wrote the JIRA markdown interpreter. And who reviewed it.

✨npm was one of the first sites I worked on at HM, coincidence or contractual obligation? ?

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.

Looking forward to speaking at WordCamp Brisbane in July, get your tix or apply to speak now.

It’s opening night, 2019, Paul Capsis enters stage left & sings his opening line: Alexander Hamilton. My name is Alexander Hamilton.

Trying to do some work and this got placed on my laptop. I have no choice but to eat it I guess.

Three and half years later, there is still no beating this as the greatest “just use WordPress” post.

Maybe I’m a fool, but I love foggy mornings like this.

Google’s refusal to recognise the United Nations is very concerning.

One of many CSS tricks with calc:

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

A sweet little primer on CSS calc() function. From @MikeRiethmuller at #respond17 pic.twitter.com/TV1S9k1KYm

Great to see #WCEU will promote more than just bar nights as side events in the lead up to WordCamp Europe

If you are planning a warm-up event in the days leading to #WCEU, let us know by May 30th so we can tell the world about it.

I mean what kind of monster plays the ukulele in an airport lounge?!

Y’all know the mid-word uppercase letters in WordPress, WordCamp, WooCommerce and JetPack don’t actually matter, right.

Rehearse my Yow! West talk or go out for coffee and cake?

Bought myself a mechanical keyboard for next time I’m co-working with @noeltock.

Related, I am cranky right now and brand™ socmed proactive support® is unlikely to help.

But usually I’m a fucking delight.

I will be generous & assume Internode’s NBN isn’t a steaming wet turd, only the router they sold with it.

So what’s a good FTTB router?

Had a terrific time at #wcubud & seeing workmates this past week, a little sad to be heading home today.

Pleased to have played a small part in @raisonco getting his first WordPress props at the #wcubud contributor day.
