Archives: Notes

  • A few months ago on Julia Gillard’s podcast Amanda Vanstone asked “where are all the mediocre women” in parliament? The last few weeks have really underscored her point about the high number of mediocre men in parliament by comparison.

  • Just doing a git bisect over a sass binary change. Ask me anything.

  • Turns out my mood today is shitposting.

  • Are there any podcasts that are just a couple of guys winging it for about an hour on what they reckon about web development? Maybe getting another guy on occasionally for an interview?

  • Ease the hiring burden for senior, security conscious WordPress developers with this one weird trick: pay them as much as your other specialist developers.

  • Today is the 935th day in a row Scott Morrison hasn’t personally shot a protester while Prime Minister. Cheers, Scomo, you’re the greatest.

  • First piece of spam made it through to the new job’s inbox today. Apparently we were at the University of Florida together, go [sports team].

  • To avoid messing with build tools on a tiny file I wrote some actual ES5 last week. I typed var. Weird.

  • Blogs are the new vlog.

  • Major events are a weakness for governments (see cricket in NSW, tennis in Vic) so glad I decided to postpone my Sydney trip for Hamilton this week. Discussing this with a relieved friend who did the same.

    Anyone who’s ever met me knows I love the show so to be glad I’m not seeing it takes a lot.
