  • 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.

  • setting up your development environment to match production, @bronsonquick on making it easier #WCBNE

  • “How do you manage family who don’t think remote workers are actually working?” All the remote workers start laughing #WCBNE

  • Looking forward to my workmates @stuartshields and @tareiking upstairs next at #WCBNE.

  • Coffee break at #WCBNE (psst, @humanmadeltd is hiring hmn.md/hiring).

  • My @humanmadeltd workmates are so impressed with my dancing they kept it for prosperity.

  • 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.

    Very very crowded platform at Southern Cross railway station in Melbourne

  • 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.

  • MITM injection attacks as a service.

  • 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. ?‍♂️

    Feedback request to Slack with the typo emojis

  • 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?!
    /me lets out low whistle

  • 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.

    A view of a beautiful sunset over water through a window. A computer sits inside with "humble brag" showing on the screen.

  • 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.
