Everyone is correct, the John Oliver interview with Edward Snowden is superb. Funny & excellent journalism.

If this shows up on Twitter in a few minutes my code is working.

Tell me a story, Flagstaff Gardens.

A local artist is painting shop windows, he’s doing the florist this weekend in a similar style.

Have configured my site to use nginx. Looks to have knocked 100ms off the load time. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

為什麼WordPress的提高UTF8的支持，為什麼說英語的人只在乎表情符號？

Things I say now: hi, could I please have the muslie?

I can support gay rights without forcing people to sell them things.
I can support black rights without forcing people to share the bus.

com.google is US$185,000+ well spent. That’s $5,967 per character.

High cholesterol it is. Goodbye bacon, I love you.

(Quite high)

Also, nice of Beyond Blue to come around to LGBTI issues after 15 years. Insert slow clap here.

Homophobic bullying amongst teens causes depression & ocean found to be wet. http://abc.net.au/news/2015-03-31/homophobia-harming-mental-health-of-young-gay-people-study/6361070

Butter for lunch.

Comment in work’s bug tracker:
IE dropped support for the element once it was added to the spec (this is not a typo).

Lunch at the pub #cssconfau15

Skipping out of #cssconfau15 to have lunch at the pub next door. Let’s get hammered (not actually getting hammered).

Showing @thewebprincess how posting to silos works from my site.

Is running untested DELETEs on the live database without taking a backup recommended?

Asking for a friend.

The timing of this Netflix leak sure is convenient.

Another story released this time on a Sunday: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s2698835.htm

If this makes it onto my site, my tinkering is working.

Breaking news: Gay man shows preference for living in Surry Hills area.

I think Surry Hills is my Sydney spiritual home.

This is how bridges do fault tolerance, the web equivalent is pages that work without JavaScript.

Walked Ultimo – Surry Hills – Bot Gardens (via Oxford St) – Circular Quay – Darling Harbour. Time for a nap.

Getting a sudden surge in referrals from Google News and trying to figure out why. I get nothing on an ego search.

The Myki website is truly remarkable.

Happy Mardi Gras sydney homos & queers. Have some gay pride for me.

It seems backward, the + adjacent sibling selector is CSS2.1, while the ~ general sibling selector is CSS3.

If your JavaScript detects the breakpoint on load but not resize, your site’s not really responsive. I’m sure it’s very pretty.
