Archives: Notes

  • Ticketmaster UK does not accept all valid email addresses. The error message doesn’t tell you this, you just have to figure it out by missing out on tickets before remembering what a hot mess Ticketmaster is.

    I might have to concede dot cc is sometimes less than cool.

  • I’m seeing a tonne of ads for @HamiltonWestEnd around town & it amuses me because I reckon they could stick this in the theatre’s window and sell out.

  • community standards of Twitter suspend victims defending themselves against hate speech while allowing the hate speech to flourish.

  • Finally getting around to seeing Les Mis.

  • The best way to experience London is to:
    – pretend pounds are Australian dollars
    – ddos your internet banking from the hotel wifi so they block the IP address
    – worry about rent later

  • Returns to holiday rest day and reading in bed with my eyes shut.

  • Even on holiday I care about plugins affecting the performance of my site. https://github.com/peterwilsoncc/doitlive.peterwilson.cc/blob/master/mu-plugins/pwcc-helpers/inc/jetpack-fixes/namespace.php

    Not enough to test code before I deploy though.

  • Room where it happens (London Edition)

  • An early morning hotel power outage presents a unique opportunity to see the best and the worst in people. Reactions range from “this is a bit of fun” to “I don’t care that you’re working on it, when will it be be back?!”

  • …and finally, I’d like to thank the ATO for sending through my tax return the day before my holidays.
