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

Risotto w/ Chorizo, Capsicum & Parmesan cheese

Expecting my Dr to tell me I have high cholesterol at 4pm. This makes lunch my last meal without a cholesterol problem.

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).

This is why there is still Pride march. This is why there is still Mardi Gras.

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).

Breakfast before heading to #cssconfau

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.

Two years ago I wrote about tech’s bro-culture on @floateDesign‘s blog. DICSS shows it’s still relevant. floate.com.au/2013/03/no-ninjas-here

No matter how often I fly, weather from above continues to impress.

Word.

Super impressed with the Virgin Australia web check-in process. Super usable.

Inflicted a lunch time rehearsal of Thursday’s talk on my work mates.

Little weird given some of them are alluded to in the talk. :D

I’ll take FOUT over FOIT any day of the week.

Checking out my site on a Sydney instance of WebPagetest – fair to say it could do with some maintenance.

Have launched a new theme on my site. Take a look.

Sure seems odd to get props for typing the number 600. :)

Tested inlining CSS on my local machine last night, it immediately cut load time by 40%. That’s with zero network latency.

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.

This has gone too far, Internet.
