We will never get along if you can read the headline “Complaints about foul smells skyrocket in Melbourne’s west” without making a fart joke.

Is it an LG? We turned the sound off because it kept waking my partner as we start it before bed each day. Of course, AI slop outranks articles with the actual correct information.

I think choose your own adventure books are the only ones I have read that are in the second person.

As an apparently mature adult, I did just google that and start putting in swears. The ABC seems to assume their presenters don't need any guidance.

Things I say in detailed technical conversations that I didn't have on my bingo card: "👨 🏻🐰👨 🏻 appears differently to 👨🏻🐰👨🏻 which would trigger a false support detection even though none of the dudes are wearing bunny ears".

Anyway... detecting emoji support is complex.

I've added the plugin check action to my WordPress plugin template repo github.com/peterwilsonc... now that security reports are created for each plugin update. make.wordpress.org/plugins/2025...

I've used the most basic configuration and will customise it based on each plugin's needs.

I love a live commentary of a good ol’ fashioned hate watch. I am here for this content.

I watched the Hamilton the Musical episode of Hard Quiz last night and all I can think is how much of a waste of a subject it was that the contestant didn’t make it to the final round.

You should come to Web Directions Enqueue in Sydney late November. Then we'll finally be able to find out what happens if we're on the same continent. Will it trigger the rapture? Will we discover we're actually the same person?

I'm thrilled to be speaking at Web Directions Enqueue, co presented by The Code Company. The line up is amazing and includes some of the best engineering minds in WordPress today. (BTW, there's a discount code in the Repository article!)

Ha, the NYT endpoint for the Wordle solution is available prior to the start of day. No token/request hash needed.

Foolishly, I tested this in my browser for tomorrow (don't worry, I would never...). Switching to curl HEAD requests, it looks like the solutions are available up until October 8.

I was not expecting LinkedIn of all places to start doing good proper honest human constructed Sudokus. Not only that, they're by Thomas Snyder who's world renowned in Sudoku circles.

Hopefully it starts a trend and newspapers will stop publishing boring algorithmically generated grids.

Many years ago, I saw a job application form with the biggest tell that the company was run by toxic wankers.

"How many mouse clicks do you take to open your editor when you turn on your computer (we're serious)?"

I still occasionally think about how much I'd hate to work for those people.

Simple Search Submission for IndexNow A simplified plugin for submitting crawl requests to search engines supporting IndexNow.

I released a new SEO WordPress Plugin last week: Simple Search Submission for IndexNow.

I thought the official plugin was over-engineered and had an unnecessary top level menu so wrote one that got out of the way and just got the job done. wordpress.org/plugins/simp...

Repost with a character that would make an excellent shitposter

There are admissions of guilt and then there's node recommending that node should only be used with a package manager.

It's hardly catchy but I think my version of the plugin is better than the latter.

I finished writing my latest WordPress plugin over the weekend.

Its working subtitle is "Why write 1200 lines of code (including 700 lines of tests) with no build dependencies when you can write 3,200 lines of code (without any tests) with 73 build dependencies?"

Deal or No Deal Island - Wikipedia

On #SurvivorAU last night, Parvati mentioned that she and David had played Deal or No Deal Island together. Fascinated by the concept, I looked it up and the details are just as terrible as the name suggests. Possibly even worse. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_or...

An unfortunate side effect of agreeing to talk at a conference is the need to write a talk and prepare a slide deck.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s IndexNow or IndexNow®. I can’t find any registration details online but it’s not something I need to do regularly so may not be looking in the right place.

"Reduces the number of database queries ... by 344 (347 queries down to 3)" is always nice to write in a commit message. Even if it is for a process that runs once during the lifetime of a site.

I just made the typo `npm ruin` and I think I'm in to the idea.
