Archives: Notes

  • About 10% of the audience of @thewebprincess’s #wceu talk work daily in a second language. It’s a challenge of remote.

  • I’m pleased about how much control I’ve taken over my news intake recently. Blocking sites in my user CSS has helped, of course, but I’m less focused on bad news. It’s become habit now so I’ll unblock them in a couple of weeks.

  • Online arts publications after a volunteer for Senior Correspondent for Getting Free Tickets to the Hamilton Opening in Sydney, I’m your best person. We can work on the title.

  • Instead of above and below the line voting in the senate, it would be nice to have a separate area for racists, gun nuts, anit-vaxxers, homophobes and miscellaneous loonies.

  • There’s now a Chassis extension for WordPress core development with an ever so helpful copy and paste config file. A few people contributed but @kadamwhite put in a tonne of effort. https://github.com/Chassis/core-dev

  • FAXES! METCARDS!

  • Styling fieldsets and legends is still the worst.

  • Reading @rachelandrew’s excellent article on box generation & I’m confused. Is the display:contents bug always a problem or fine to use on the semantically meaningless div & span elements? https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/05/display-box-generation/

  • If you really want your WordPress hook to run first, or just troll @rmccue, run it at priority PHP_INT_MIN * 200.

    If that doesn’t run first, PHP_INT_MIN * PHP_INT_MAX.

    And if that doesn’t run first…

  • Wow, no one was expecting the entire cast of GOT to be killed off in episode two and replaced with the Comedy Company’s original cast. That twist was beautiful.
