Working for the new shop in the old shop’s office today. Weirdest remote working experience so far.

Get in the sea

Overhearing an introduction to The Internet class & the tutor keeps saying “of course” and “obviously”. I want to yell IT’S NOT.

Shit! I’ve lost a day’s work. Shit! Shit! Shit!
Oh. I’ve checked out the wrong branch. ?

Keys

A table full of index cards as I restructure a talk.

Reads news over early lunch because Github is down.

Footballers are weird.

What’s really needed is some form of distributed version control system.

Please enjoy you dry run for when GitHub closes down.

Fail unicorns. Sad story.

My morning has gone a little #1597.

It’s like they’re using this plebiscite as a delaying tactic & the will of the people has nothing to do with it.

Webstock tickets, travel and accom all booked. Starting to get excited. #hmgoes.

Today’s #remoteworking lesson: you can pull out ALL the swears when working from home & code makes mistakes.

Not so at the library.

The view from the Docklands Library is amazing. Disappointing to be looking at this instead.

Reading Tavern comments. Why, Peter, why?

Spoiler: they’re the same person.

I call it doing my job. If you sell it, know it, stop whinging & be professional. http://wptavern.com/matt-mullenweg-addresses-concerns-that-wordpress-is-moving-too-fast

The quiet study room at the library is under the table tennis room. The sound of people running around is quite loud.

Back at the Dock

Can’t wait for this to go green so complex content choreography can become a reality. http://caniuse.com/css-grid

Library does not have Friday afternoon drinks. They are insisting.

Lunch

Made it home moments before the dust storm hit. Bonus.

Excited to be returning to client services tomorrow. The variety of projects & satisfaction after a successful build can’t be beaten.

oh, ffs

til that others haven’t #everydaysexism

When Serial, Reply All and Startup all hit your podcast app at once.

Today’s office

How is your work/life balance?

Writing some WordPress helpers for Mustache.php so PatternLab templates convert to themes easily. WP-API inspired function names.

Some fireworks didn’t work in Dockland’s so someone is trying to fire them inconspicuously after the event.

If ever you want to destroy an inbox, become active in a busy open-source project. Inbox zero? ???

Joining the remote workers club in January. What helps, what mistakes do I need to avoid making?

OH “oh no, we forgot to compare colonoscopy stories!”

Libraries have changed since I was a kid.

Today’s view. No filter necessary.

Admitting ignorance is hard. The WordPress community are pretty good at helping when you do.

Side benefit: you become less ignorant too.

Regular service will now resume.

Plan to spend tomorrow rock-starring or ninjaing at the Dockland’s Library. See what code-bombs I can drop. ?

It’s so good to have @anagramatron back.

By this much

Yeah, that’s a fun movie.

Notice how I avoided making an obscure reference to Dewey in the Water Park episode of Malcolm in the Middle. Pro. https://github.com/peterwilsoncc/joy949-patterns/pull/47

I won’t lie, I’m judging your markup.

Showing my professionalism as I put together favicons. https://github.com/peterwilsoncc/joy949-patterns/pull/44

I’ve seen both Fargo & Breaking Bad and still do not believe Jesse Plemons’ character in Friday Night Lights would kill someone.
