  • If you like a dark comedy (and we’re talking vantablack dark), then give Am I Being Unreasonable on SBS On Demand a go.

    Written by cast members Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli it’s starts with the former’s bit on the side dying in a tragic accident and just gets darker and darker from there.

    We just finished the second series and are very eagerly waiting on the BBC to commission a third.

  • “I am not the beta in this relationship” I try to convince myself as I open the bedroom blinds mainly so the cat can lie on the bed and have a good bake in full sun.

  • Maybe, just maybe, if I have a google form open in two tabs with different content in each it’s because I want to submit two of them. Maybe, just maybe, I don’t want the content of one form to overwrite the contents of another.

    Current status: on DuckDuckGo googling the process required to get a trademark genericized.

  • I’m still disappointed at how quickly Castle became the very thing it started off parodying. I should probably let it go.

  • I really, really, really wish that whoever named pull requests pull requests had named them merge requests instead.

    It makes explaining both git and GitHub to a new users so much more complicated. While explaining the concept of git push and git pull the existence of pull requests makes things so needlessly confusing.

  • That thing when you go to steal someone’s code (open-source!!!) and you can’t help but form opinions about it and end up submitting a pull request.

    I have a problem.

  • Committing 7,696 images totaling over 30MB to an SVN server with a 258ms ping time can take a while.

  • I’ve released a new WordPress plugin: Local Twemoji.

    For sites running over a CDN, this provides a performance improvement by serving emoji fallback images from your own site.

    The perf improvement is due to the way modern browsers cache shared CDN assets.
