Guns don’t kill people, encryption kills people.

If you’re looking for front-end work in the enterprise application space and have damn good CSS, you should get in touch.

Doing last day of work tasks like cleaning my desk for the first time. Clearly needed to keep this over a year.

Wow, uglifyJS knows a lot of tricks that add &&. Doing research to followup the strangest WP bug I’ve worked on. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34698

I’ve had this wild idea for Apple, a button labelled “install massive update on shutdown so I can set and forget”

How’s that personal brand going for you?

I can’t tell the spam accounts from real ones anymore so have stopped following back on the whole.

A nice day ends with combined end of year drinks for the three #wpmelb meetups. Good times.

Shut it four eyes. #motivation #motivation #igmotivation #motivationdaily #dailymotivation

When you discover three days later the joke is not a joke.

The awkward realisation you misunderstood something important.

Could I please have wholemeal sandwich?
“Margarine?”

Couldn’t resist after @sentience‘s talk at MelbCSS last night. I got two wrong.

Sorry @potus, it is the new normal in the US.

Wow, @mollydotcom is selling molly.com! http://www.molly.com/2015/12/02/molly-com-domain-name-for-sale/

I’m sure I’ll have as much fun watching the #wcus live stream in my t-shirt as those attending.

Draft your job ad to fight impostor syndrome. What would end up on Seek if you were head-hunted tomorrow (‘cos you’re worth head-hunting)?

What’s the Slack support channel on Freenode?

tfw you tweet about race conditions in the WordPress cron implementation and immediately a fitness account starts following you.

Sad story, Fontdeck are closing down. Here’s the email they’ve sent to customers. They haven’t yet published the promised blog post.

Other times I go hunting for a view and reinforce it with steel and concrete.

Sometimes I try not to form a firm view about something but–in the middle of the night–my mind wanders and–BAM–a firm view forms.

Brisbane has achieved a humidity of over 100%.

Breaking news: homophobic bigots dislike being labelled homophobic bigots. We’ll cross live to the bigots shortly.
