What is real? What is satire? I can’t tell anymore.

Fearing a code of conduct isn’t a reflection of CoCs, it’s a reflection of your conduct. Subtweeting node.js trolls.

Guys, guys, guys, how about you stop being surprised by females writing code. It’s 2014, ffs.

I'm at a recruiting event & I was talking to someone who told me they were a JS engineer, I said "me too!" And he asked me if I was joking

‘owl lobotomy’ has overtaken ‘dreamboat paul irish’ as my favourite work related search term.

My GP has replaced the antibiotics another Dr prescribed with chewing gum & blowing up balloons with my nose.

Trying to write a unit test for a tablesaw bug

It’s going as well as I expected :(

Blocked ear from sinus infection is beginning to worry me. I like hearing.

It’s surprisingly easy to get a local instance of jsbin running. Very clear instructions in the Github repo.

Catching up with Adnan, Jay, et al after three weeks without listening to podcasts. 21 minutes.

The view from my seat after telling VA staff I wouldn’t object to an earlier flight.

ATL > LAX > SYD > MEL

To order a satisfactory Starbucks coffee: cafe latte, low foam, at 140 degrees, thanks.

Imagine a photo of a middle aged dog looking after a sick niece. In block letters at the bottom it says “I have no idea what I’m doing”

This week’s Doctor Who is really dark, it’s about ethics in gaming journalism.

American Halloween us terrifying. Kids on a sugar high running around on the road.

Wow! American nieces are way excited by Halloween this is primarily expressed with noise.

Curious, disabling JavaScript unbreaks Taco Bell‘s breaking of the web.

They really know how to internets.

Hi Boston.

My hotel is very you.

Special shoutout to 6am flights, crashing Uber apps & airports that don’t sell espresso

Surprised this doesn’t work as I expected

CSS is fun.

Git users at the #wcsf contributor day, there’s a list of official git repo mirrors on the make blog #wcsf14

Without Molly Holzschlag‘s work in the day #wcsf & the web wouldn’t be what they are today, help with her medical bills

A lot of typos in WordPress & plugins are discovered during the translation process- @nacin #wcsf

Pitch idea for freelancers the San Francisco Fire Department site could do with some work. #wcsf

MEL > LAX > SFO

What’s good games wise for iOS on the plane? I liked trainyard & other puzzle type things.

That’s fun, the SUIT CSS naming convention & Microformats 2 clash on u- prefix.

s/u-/util-/g in suit is still better than ad hoc naming.

Some excellent podcast tips, thanks, huffduffing heaps. https://huffduffer.com/peterwilsoncc

Looking to sample the best episodes of a variety of podcasts on the flight to San Francisco. Any tips would be appreciated.

BTW, I would love to be able to post photos to my account via the API.

Teeth. $5.

A Yoast upgrade that’s right first time is like hearing noises in an otherwise empty house.

Twitch

Three calls today from a UK number wanting to “activate” a domain purchase. Half tempted to engage to see what the scam is.

It astounds me when I see ‘not all men’ comments. I thought we all understood that it is, however, almost always men.

@thebabydino Starting to for maintaining vertical rhythm using pixel width borders & with fixed width sidebars.

When singing, Toby & I are basically indistinguishable from Justin Timberlake & Vanessa Marquez

Twenty minutes ago, my dropbox password was 4qV@4WbzEQw8Ds(NpEn9 – what was yours?

It’s true, brid.gy is indistinguishable from magic.

Have a new notes section on my site for keeping status updates off to the side.
