In shouldn’t be. But I’m joyfully flabbergasted. I’m sure this is the first time ever that not only has a support person actually read and answered EXACTLY the question I asked but they actually repeated my question back to me before answering it.
This is so simple. Why so hard?
I made a quick (un-planned, un-edited) 12 min introduction to breakpoints and debugging JavaScript in Chrome, for some people, if that’s useful to anyone.
(Assumes knowledge of JS functions, scope and stuff)
I think this pilot is drunk
I don’t post many pics of my kids. But I had a moment of great parental pride as the boy turned 7 recently. Here’s my written celebration. ❤️
Pareto’s principle of home baking:
80% of the bread gets eaten in the first 20 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
The last 20% takes 4 days to eat.
Woah! Had prepared myself for Steve Schoger and Adam Wathan’s Refactoring UI book to be more expensive than even an expensive book. Had prepared myself for $70 – $80. But $250 for a PDF!!? Cripes.
I mean, it’s a good kit of stuff. But even the discounted $150 is a lot.
Doing my bit for browser diversity:
And I’m sure it will do great at that. But it’s not “an operating system for the web” that was previously talked about. And this future is not hugely interesting to me as a software developer.

Notes on State of the Word: Let’s step back and consider what WordPress is to be now. It’s not a general purpose CMS – that direction seems dead. There’s nothing in its future direction about types, fields & meta. It’s a site builder. An HTML authoring tool. It’s Dreamweaver!
This delivery to my office block appears to be a box of recycled lightsabres! 🤷♂️
I helped someone out with a WordPress development support question yesterday, and I thought there were some good tips in the process of finding the answer. So, maybe learn something about how to find code with Github and grep: https://rosswintle.uk/2018/12/wordpress-code-diving-tips-for-finding-out-how-to-do-things-sometimes/

Interesting. Seems they can’t/don’t/won’t make polygonal chocolate coins. So 10p is the biggest they can do now. To cope with inflation they’ve started making “chocolate notes”! I guess rectangles are just easier.
Isaac drew this a few weeks back. His explanation is that it’s someone who fell over in Strictly Come Dancing and their partner is sad because they fell over. All the judges gave it zero apart from Bruno who gave it one!

Here’s a little thing I started making ages ago to explain how DNS works to people: https://dns-explained.com/
It’s not finished, needs images (I started drawing some!) and a glossary and pages 12+, but it’s a start.
Useful?
Perfect. Site migration day.
“I’ll work from home because the internet is faster and more reliable!”
Internet goes down. 🙄
I’m not going to vouch for its integrity, but I dare and command-line user to sit in a cafe or on a train and run this: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui
Owning a Facebook page is so much like playing whack-a-mole.
GO AWAY, NOTIFICATIONS. I WILL POST AN UPDATE WHEN I HAVE ONE!!
