Archives: Notes

  • Testing custom roles. I have roughly 100 browsers open, each with both a standard & incognito window. I’m confused. My computer is melting.

  • Yesterday I mentioned the time saved by system fonts in WP would increase productivity, here’s the data via WebPageTest. I used the Dallas instance to run the tests, so results will vary outside of North America. (more…)

  • WordPress 4.6 launched 6 hours ago with native fonts saving ½-2 seconds for each admin page load. That’s days of productivity gains already.

  • Looking at code git blame says I wrote on February 3. I need a bleach shower.

  • It’s a complicated form of disappointment when you fail to break code you don’t actually want to be broken.

  • From the dozens of talks at #wceu, we’ve shared the ones we ⭐️ed at @humanmadeltd: https://hmn.md/2016/08/09/wceu-2016-talks-recommended-by-the-humans/

  • The @afl culture is such they couldn’t get clubs buy in on a pride round, just one game. No wonder their players don’t feel safe coming out.

  • tfw @bankaust sends an email with a link to their advice not to click off domain links in email using an off domain link tracking service.

  • Photocopy operator, IT support, webmaster, web developer, front-end engineer, WordPress Engineer.

  • Out with the family, showing off the new hood.

  • You’ve Got Mail! is on, I bet that hasn’t aged at all.

  • Testing WordPress 4.6 for an edge case.

  • “Pandora is dumb, it’s only got like twelve songs. I’m going to listen to Boys and Girls.”

  • OH: Can we just ban badly designed fly out menus because they’re a shit to use on tablets?

    No windows, room with a view

  • Leaving this place for the last time. It’s been a good ten years & I’ll miss it. #3051pride

  • Last day before a big trip. Last day in the flat before moving. Bye 3051.

  • NBN FFTB at the new place. ?

  • I’d like to have hope for the USA and gun control laws but there are too many lost opportunities in recent history.

  • Finally switched my site to HTTP/2 and PHP7 over the weekend. More catching up to do, there’s nothing quite so neglected as a dev’s site.

  • OH: enough, I don’t care that much about emoji.

  • Have you heard about staying dry? Let me tell you about staying dry. #middleclassconf

  • SYD ✈️ MEL. Was great to come visit #wpsyd last night, thanks for having me.

  • Opens news, reads about our political leaders. Crushes phone underfoot, burns it. A tear rolls down my cheek as I have a bleach shower.
