Question vis a vis regular night at City Wine Shop & cholesterol.
* Are polenta chips low fat?
* Is gelato made with low fat dairy?

This is pointless @instagram, loading videos slowly still uses my data cap.

There are more poeple with podcasts than without podcasts.

Mashable’s review of the Apple watch is over 50 Mb & hundreds of requests.

Someone’s not paying attention.

Flights booked for @wordcampbne, see you there.

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)_/¯

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.

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

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).

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.

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.
