Comment spam: It seems like Movable Type is the top blogging platform available.
@akismet has created a mod queue & labeled it bullshit.

What is document assembly? At scale we can take 10000+ decisions & generate a contract in next to no time. http://www.exari.com/contract-management-products-and-solutions/document-assembly/

Later this year @exari DocGen 7.0 will be released, we’ve made enterprise document assembly responsive. http://www.exari.com/responsive-web-design-who-cares-we-do/

Probably time to stop helping.

An ABC reporter has put 1yr’s metadata online. I reckons he works from home a lot, tempted to dig in.

Anyone need some network terminators?

Still able to connect a usb keyboard to a 5pin connector.

Tumbling down the rabbit hole of wp-cron. Racey.

The insidious thing about imposter syndrome is having to fight even when making a simple suggestion. So I’ve heard.

Feeling better for buying µ.xyz this week.

Yesterday’s Coalition meeting was 30 minute discussion on SSM, 5.5 hour lesson on saying stupid things in the media.

On one hand, being politically disenfranchised is bad. On the other hand, ¯_(ツ)_/¯ is never going to stop you sleeping.

That not all men were refusing to share a stage with this man is beyond me.

I’ve seen a woman HAVE to refuse to share a stage with a guy who includes porn in his slides. And he still gets invites.

Guys, you know the more women who drop off the speaking circuit after mistreatment at confs, the more ignorant the industry becomes.

The weekend’s exercise in futility was to update my app.net widget for WP4.3 & PHP7. I await your thanks ADN users.

You’re overthinking demo text when you check the Simpson’s number (555-8707) & Homer’s email address (chunkylover53@aol.com)

Somehow MS Word 2013 is less comprehensible than VI.

trainspotting-shit-scene.gif #GOPdebate – judging by my timeline, at any rate.

Hey, Wilson, don’t read the comments.

You don’t get to complain about both automatic security updates and the time it takes to manually update if you disable them.

Bug tracker terminology is unfriendly. The worst is closed: invalid. At best it comes off as CLOSED: INVALID. At worst it scares users away.

I suspect some MPs enter politics for personal gain & are lying about their dedication to public service.

This American Life’s education reporting is second-to-none. Really interesting story on integration this week.

Quite good that film, yes.

Fixing never having seen Die Hard. Finding the smoking really disconcerting. Fine with the killing, duh.

Remarkably, @bankmecu have made a template for future phishing attempts (my ironic highlighting)

Hello Australia. Remember when we were judging Americans for their Confederate flags a few weeks ago?

Microsoft promise to improve Windows 10 messaging.

@telstra Without the “with n days left” part, this warning is of no use. Could you please bring it back.

.@corybernardi: There is no legal discrimination between same-sex couples *except*

Look. Gonna stop you there, Cory.

Collecting ideas on comment moderation. Not policy ideas but how to deal with the before and after.

As I approach forty, I am forming opinions on turning 40 that are new and interesting. Friends, I was a naïve kid. I didn’t know.

cook a rib-eye steak rare in 25g of butter, salting every 30sec. Bin it, eat another fkn chicken breast because your cholesterol is 7.1

Half way through a first round interview with a recruiter she abruptly called it off and told me it was hopeless.

I’d never get the job, there was no point continuing the interview.

The dumb twenty-six year-old in the room, got up disheartened and prepared to leave.

The recruiter handed me a pen & piece of paper and told me we’d start again same time next week. Next week I’d come prepared & on the paper would be all the things I’d ever done in tech.

There would be no “I kind of can do…” or “I’ve tinkered with…” In their place there would be definitive statements “I can do…”

like an idiot, I cancelled the following weeks interview via email a few days later – a dumb twenty-six year old not realising she saw potential I didn’t.

When imposter syndrome hits, I often think of the recruiter and whether it would still be hitting if I’d taken her up on her offer.

Probably. Best I can do is try and adopt some advise I half listened to as a dumb twenty-six year old. Following through and getting all the advice would have been a good idea.

RISK TAKING PLAYGROUND

Please shut the gate.

Please use the path.

The Docklands sci fi dystopian future is bustling on a Saturday.

Amazed* at how some devs use WordPress shortcodes. I feel for the site owners affected, their devs need to shoulder some blame.

Vote 1 …
Yeah, nah I think I’m busy that day.

Severely looking forward to @krogsgard‘s full post on the Pearson/Mullenweg brouhaha.

Anyone know what the sound is like at AAMI Park after the rebuild, good enough for a T Swift ticket?
