The Snook: “They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me.”
(For the record, I’ve never listed him on anything for ND ever. The Alumni Fund folks are just. that. good.)
Nearly at the house when I saw something skitter to my left. Yup, Huntsman. (My hand for scale, because I’m just that much of a badass.) 🕷

@randomknits That is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. 😂
Had a lovely lunch with @brendangregg and @DeirdreS as they finish up their epic Australian #yow18 adventure. Always nice to make new tech friends from around the world! https://t.co/PRx2eg4X5r
Hey @weesperhk – I got an email from you and clicked unsubscribe because a) I don’t live in HK and b) I don’t remember ever signing up for this. Unfortunately your unsubscribe form requires me to type in my email address, and then it tells me it doesn’t exist on the list. 🙁

Mostly server side.

Before I go to bed, trying to reflect on an unambiguous Good Thing. Tomorrow my @GGDSydney mentee is giving her first proper dev talk ever on blockchain, and she’s going to smash it. ❤️

It can be an indication that a company doesn’t understand that management is a specialty craft…
Sometimes @Spotify’s Discover Weekly algorithm is eerily good at recommending music I didn’t know I needed in my life. Other times I end up with “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” stuck in my head for two days. 😒

Woooo! Automated our aircon with Alexa (hooking into homebrew smart home controller built by the Snook). #lazy #voicecontrolftw https://t.co/huLWZQidDf https://t.co/gmaIBiIBia
My favourite part is that since it’s all custom, I can use phrases like, “Alexa, tell my smart home that it’s hot as balls in here.” 😂
@petehanssens Yup. We have a dumb old air con so have to literally replay IR commands at it.
@mmastertheone Not gonna lie – I was tempted… 😂
@mattallen Well, the fact that my compatriot had to resort to IFTTT to get it to work with *his* voice assistant… may have contributed to the grin. 🙂
@mattallen Yep. Raspberry Pi + LIRC. (Inspired by a similar project @seansonbronson presented at SyPy earlier this year!)
@vertis @orj @ittybittyapps I’m already using Jekyll->S3 for https://t.co/d8LFjszP5y. But https://t.co/wPCtzMM3Ls is a beast, and I hate to think how much a pain it would be to regenerate it every time I make a change.
Had to improvise cap sleeves, but I reckon they work! All that’s left now is to hem and it’s ready for the Christmas party… https://t.co/HvnFFA1jWw https://t.co/X4FVFVmu1I
@petehanssens I saw a talk @seansonbronson did at SyPy earlier this year that pointed me to LIRC. That’ll save you a lot of headache!

Hey @notsolonecoder – next project? (Interesting they used a FOI request to get the data!) https://t.co/uAR9RXS5hR
@FourRedShoes I’m an appreciator but not a super knowledgeable fan. I really enjoyed his segment in the new Coen bros. Western on Netflix though!

@evolvable @joneaves @joshprice @whereistanya Engineering manager roles. For some reason, there are companies that want managers to be “hands on technical” when the actual role does not involve being hands on. It’s a great way of gatekeeping. 🙃

Okay, WordPress 5.0. Let’s do this and see how much of my custom shit you break…
@vertis My site has 1400+ pages with lots of cross-referencing. I’ve played with Jekyll, but this does not seem to be the right use case for it.
The WordPress 5.0 update went just fine, and using the Classic Editor plugin seems to keep everything copacetic (at least until they kill support for it in 2021). Phew.
