  • Rescheduled my booster from next month to later this week. 💉x3 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-12/booster-rollout-fast-tracked-as-data-reveals-omicron-immunity-de/100694070

  • Thinking about this idiocy again in the context of my week: by embracing the idea that I have no idea what I’m doing with some code this-morning, I’m going to learn something new as a result in the next few days.

  • Does lifehacker.com.au have a hack for their site to disable infinite scrolling so you can can click the links in their footer?

  • Not blackmail, not discrimination, simply the consequence of a bad choice.

  • I get unreasonably excited about wearing leather shoes these days and this week I’ll get to wear them two or three times!

    I know I could wear them in the home office but that’s not something that works for me.

  • Typecasting edge cases sure are fun.

    console.log( !! '0', !! '0.0', '0' == '0.0' ); // (JS) true, true, false

var_dump( !! '0', !! '0.0', '0' == '0.0' ); // (PHP) false, true, true

    I’m not sure there is a right answer here.

  • I used Yahoo! when it was on a .edu domain.

  • Decades later, the Colin Hay Overkill opener for Scrubs season two is still great.

  • YouTube reaction videos but it’s developers reading their own three year old code.

  • For the first time since March 2020 the rain has beaten me and I’ve given up on my morning walk.
