  • “I’m sorry, we sold our last locked ex-government filing cabinet this-morning to someone muttering something about fucking journalists at the fucking ABC”

  • Hot headed arguments about who’s being hot headed are my new favourite thing.

  • The first @theWebMeetup for the year is developer focused, come along to see @philnash introduce service workers and I’ll be talking about CMSes at scale.

  • The downside of being in Melbourne: it’s quite some way for broadway adventures. The upside: listening @Lin_Manuel‘s #hamildrop well before New Yorkers ?

  • Today I updated WordPress’s browser test for emoji support & I’ve been apprehensive since. A fairy 🧚‍♂️ (which replaced a rainbow flag 🏳️‍🌈) was replaced with something I don’t associate with being LGBT and it bothers me.

    Emotions are weird 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • I am ~un~reasonably excited by this change! ❤️ calc()

  • Apart from infants, it’s very hard to find ungendered silhouette of a person. Trying to work out if that’s actually the case & on the providers or on me for seeing male by default.

  • A high number of @HamiltonMusical NYC tix went back on sale on @Ticketmaster‘s premium service during the verified fan period. TM want to *look* like they’re stopping scalping, if they wanted to *stop* it they’d block verified fan tickets from resale on their own service.

  • The project I am on at work uses a lot of tags. My local data only needs to be “close enough” so I realised I can do things like this. Bye, Julian, bye-bye

    if ( 'Julian Assange' === $term['name'] ) {
	replace_julian_assange( $term['term_id'] );
}

  • I was lucky enough to see @JMunozActor play Hamilton twice and would love to see him out this Sunday but, alas, NYC is quite some way to travel. Break a leg.
