I shouldn't have to explain this to adults:

"Part of the problem is we need a landscape image (horizontal) and cropping a portrait image to fit just doesn’t work because of the composition - basic shape/space physics."

Does it make you homesick? 😂

There is only one correct response to the question “am I ever going to see your face again” 🇦🇺

I hear you on this one.

When the time it takes to write a quote due to the excessive and unnecessary information required by the client takes longer than actually doing the work.

I think I need to read this, although not for the anger management, but the stupid customer part.

I know right! 😂

Me every time at airport security.

I’m only half way through.

The first 15 mins of episode 1 last season was brilliant.

Malware Discovered In Gravity Forms WordPress Plugin Patchstack published an advisory on a supply chain attack affecting Gravity Forms that enables remote code execution on affected websites.

I'd like to thank Gravity Forms for its latest malware issue. I had just replied to a client explaining why we don't (and won't) use WordPress when the news popped up on my feed. Needless to say I forwarded this to them www.searchenginejournal.com/malware-disc...

I hope not. I want to go and test that now. Although Siri hardly gets anything right when you’re close so probably not an issue 😂

Siri is getting more and more useless.

Me: “Hey Siri, stop playing music downstairs”

Siri: “Sorry I can’t stop the music try again”

Also - music stops. 🤪

Just listened to Scamerland - was interesting.

Is anyone else having major memory issues with @jetbrains.com PHPStorm this week? Constant hanging.

Bungy collapsing

I was going through some archive files and found some photos of me bungy jumping in New Zealand. They made me laugh and brought back memories of a great trip.

Revisiting Ted Lasso Recently I re-watched Ted Lasso, the first time since it originally aired...

I recently rewatched Ted Lasso and it's as good as ever, but this time around there was an extra feeling.

So no cheering that Voldemort lost his seat?

Our electorate voted in the ALP for only the 3rd time ever and the first in over 50 years. 🥳

Does this count? 😝

Fresh out of the oven. 😋

It does feel weird. Can’t claim credit for the model though. Found it on Maker World.

Amazing 3d printed “paper bag”. Not sure what I’ll use it for but gee it’s cool.

I hate replying on 3rd party IT people to update DNS when putting a site live. Inevitably they screw it up. The number of IT support people who don't understand DNS is gobsmacking!

How is it that is 2025 companies are still asking for an ID check when they call you?

My heath insurance company calls me out of the blue and says "Before I can tell you why I'm calling I need to do an ID check".

Me: Um, no.

I’ve been helping someone with a Wordpress site that uses Elementor and I have come to the conclusion that WP/Elementor isn’t web design or development, it’s button clicking.

I like the idea of both an elevator and a dumbwaiter 😂

Common phrases said by people who live in 3 storey houses:

1. Oh shit, I left it downstairs
2. Oh shit, I left it upstairs
3. I'll get it later
4. Are you up or down?

Like it too short to read something you’re not 100% enjoying.

Definitely the latter. Nom nom 😋
