  • It’s day two of my holidays and I just booted my computer and immediately logged in to my email. Under normal circumstances this would be a bad thing, but I’m giving myself a pass as I was logging in to stop wordpress.org related folders from syncing to my phone.

  • I just read Laura Tingle’s piece from yesterday. Did the prime minister only learn this week that women often walk around with keys between their fingers at night? He really hasn’t been listening, I thought it was common knowledge.

  • Someone on Swarm has left an invaluable review of the local supermarket: it’s a lot of stuff. Thanks boss, you’ve been a great help.

  • You know how you occasionally see someone walking around with a clump of grass from the nature strip & think “that looks odd”. As a cat owner without a backyard I am now one of those people. And it feels odd too.

  • Download jQuery (14kb, Minified and Gzipped)

  • A few months ago on Julia Gillard’s podcast Amanda Vanstone asked “where are all the mediocre women” in parliament? The last few weeks have really underscored her point about the high number of mediocre men in parliament by comparison.

  • Just doing a git bisect over a sass binary change. Ask me anything.

  • Turns out my mood today is shitposting.

  • Are there any podcasts that are just a couple of guys winging it for about an hour on what they reckon about web development? Maybe getting another guy on occasionally for an interview?

  • Ease the hiring burden for senior, security conscious WordPress developers with this one weird trick: pay them as much as your other specialist developers.
