Archives: Notes

  • In Manchester Lane, Melbourne.

  • Brisbanites come along to @wordcampbne this weekend to see my former client @d3v1an7 and I talk about some of the things we got up working on the Fairfax CMS together, including the awkward bits in any client/agency relationship.

  • It’s hard to believe Peter Dutton will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means hurting those closest to him.

  • You: Amazing, the PM forgot to renew his domain.

    Me: Amazing, the person who bought it paid 50 bucks. What a rip off.

  • “On this side project, I’m going to keep my commit messages professional.”

    $ git log --format=oneline
Commit with swear words.
Remove tests because they’re broken anyway.
Move it, stab at things.
Fix dumb things.
Everything is shit, ooh everything is shit.

  • A government panel is to recommend schools be able to turn away gay students under the guise of religious freedom.

    It’s weird how it’s only the religious freedom of homophones is considered when these things come up.

  • Sometimes I’d quite like `andif` to be a thing to avoid stupidly deep nesting levels.

    if ( condition1 ) {
  $var1 = 'something';
} andif ( condition2 ) {
  $var2 = 'something';
}

  • OH: Was that a “kill me”?

    What?! I’m dealing with build tool conflicts, okay!

  • Bug-tracker terms for closing a ticket without needing a fix are really unfriendly, wontfix is too blunt, invalid sounds like a criticism.

  • This is some great news, it will be great to see Mike working full time on WordPress. Congratulations @GetSource and @GoDaddy.
