Archives: Notes

  • 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.

  • Now: My Health Record rushes to update its partner terms and conditions without adding privacy controls

    2020: My Health Records starts running a Facebook style “data misuse is not our friend” advertising campaign.

  • As someone with an minor but ongoing medical condition, I was onboard with My Health Record until I learnt HealthEngine was one of their partners. Now, not so much.

  • ⚪ Tabs
    ⚪ Spaces
    ⚪ .editorconfig
    ⚪ CI to resolve CS violations

  • I need to write up how I over engineered a site that sometimes gets over a dozen visitors a day. (Most to a post I wrote in 2011)

  • A few of us are making musical theatre puns in work’s slack (I didn’t start it) and now 90% of people are logged out.

  • I’d love to know the average time on page for the CSS-Tricks and MDN guides to CSS Grid. Often I have one or the other open in a tab for hours on end.
