Working on various things, I have spent much of this weekend looking at a single function. I am that function, I live that function, I think that function.

🎵 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three; it’s the twenty-four timezone commandments.

Hey professional web developers who actually make a living out of this: I was reading the HTML spec (I wasn’t) and there’s this thing called an anchor tag that is super accessible and browsers interpret to give users control on how and where links open. You should try it.

Sooo many questions about the Hamilton pre-sale… Will it actually open on March 17, will I be able to travel to Sydney if it does and, will I feel safe travelling to Sydney if I can?

Mad programming skill I’d love to pick up: remembering it’s trigger_error() and not trigger_log() before triggering a fatal.

As an aside, trigger_error() triggers a notice, you need to specify if you want trigger_error() to trigger an error.

We had finish at home Cumulus for dinner tonight. Would recommend as a way to get out of the house during iso.

I’ve noticed fewer press conference clashes recently. Yes, I’ll take credit and your thanks.

Dan Andrews did this too late/too early.
Dan Andrews should do this/do that.

Maybe, just maybe, political commentators should be kept on a leash and their reckons wrapped in a green plastic bag and thrown in the nearest bin.

Doing some testing to try an emulate how a journalist might use works CMS. One of the things I am testing is quoting Dan Andrews press conference. TVeeder is pretty amazing.
