  • SBS selling Optus the World Cup rights only to be given them back is one of the all time great business decisions.

  • I was looking at the JIRA source code and found how they determine the markdown flavour to use on any one interface:

    Math.random()

  • Replies to insurance company request for further information with a passive aggressive “I’ve reattached the document”. They won’t notice or care, damn it.

  • The ABC fact check of Pete Evans is pretty direct. http://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2018-06-21/pete-evans-diet-doco-magic-pill-health-claims-evaluated/9891470

  • Is it because browsers are increasingly blocking the script by default?

  • Is there an upper limit to the number of times you can panic about lost work before realising you’ve checked out the wrong branch?

  • Cowboy merged a PR to my site yesterday to dump lower quality posts (social media styled notes) onto a separate domain. I don’t know if @jdevalk would love it or hate it, but I know his view would be firmly held.

  • According to a Major News Source, the NBN’s congestion problems make it inadequate for HD streaming. Pull me up a chair.

  • Hands up if you’re a slightly disappointed Australian waking up to discover all the Tony Awards performances are geo-blocked. 🙌

  • Glad I took a chance on The Band’s Visit for my broadway adventure last year, it’s a great show and it’s nice to see it taking so many gongs at the Tony’s.
