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

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.

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 );
 }

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

Here are my slides from Yow! West 2017, Performance: The path to HTTP/2 is Full of Potholes.

Every time I think something is a joke about dude bro tech culture, it’s always dude bro tech culture.

 

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.

I think I am becoming water-logged on this tropical island paradise. On the up-side, on a tropical island paradise.

It bothers me a security analyst pretending to be Taylor Swift does the best corrections during a developing story. Not a news outlet.

Four day weekend is long enough to do this.

It was a pleasure speaking at the Web Meetup on Tuesday, they’ve already posted the videos from the evening.

Casting values larger than PHP_INT_MAX really is fun. https://3v4l.org/5nWum
