Archives: Notes

In recent of weeks, I have learnt to recognise both the 3011 postcode and the City of Maribyrnong by shape. I’m going to be a postie when I grow up.

Days since March 15: 165.
Current status: 🏚 Very bored of working from home.

Fantasy casting Hamilton and trying to decide whether to put Paul Capsis in the role of Hamilton or Burr.

Work’s notifications of the gmail outage were sent by email. Don’t worry, incident notifications get piped to Slack too. Oh.

🙁🐼

Last week work passed 130 C-19 live articles & some of the journos wrote about the work.

What they don’t mention is, even with recent tech improvements, it’s hard work for the main blogger (WordPress posts within WordPress posts). Kudos all

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.
