  Just because I had the occasion to use one - here is the list of Australian phone numbers that you can use in documentation that are reserved and won't go anywhere. (like the USian 555 numbers) https://se.au/notes/fake-phone-numbers-in-australia/ #phone

  Moving into the more unused classes in the legacy #PHP codebase, I was just horrified to discover a method about 200 lines long, the reused the variable name $field not once, but twice! moving from an object to an array to a string. I have renamed the variables to be better, and next week, some refactoring to break that apart. It is doing too much. #refactoring

  OMG I was in a presentation. My phone in my pocket. It’s on silent. I feel it ring. I ignore it. It rings again I ignore it again. It’s probably spam. It rings again, now I’m thinking it’s my kid no one else would be that persistent so I check. It’s an unknown number so I ignore it. It rings again. And again. 6 calls from different unknown numbers but all left the same scammy message. Some robocall nonsense. Such a pain.

  June 16th - the last day I will have any #PHP v7 code running in production. This has been a task, but we have got there. Well done team (me)! 🥳 Next job, update from 8.3 to 8.5, but I can fix some bugs before then 🐜

  I have no idea what plant this is apart from ‘some sort of cactus or succulent’ but it sits in a pot outside my front door and gets no care whatsoever. I believe my father in law waters it occasionally. But it has decided that this year is bloom time! #bloomScrolling

  I have been taken back to my youth... My kid's friends just turned up unannounced at our house at 9:30 at night, because they were bored and my kid wasn't with them. Purely spur of the moment, having fun because they can. Reminds me of being 19 and carefree... There is now giggling and story telling happening in my kitchen :partyparrot:

  Note to self: Going to bed at 1:30am on a school night is not conducive to productive thinking at the office at 8:30 the following morning. #tired #oops

  I saw mention on here this morning about a newly discovered old exploit for linux, but I didn't get that it affects basically every linux distro released since 2017. Patches have been written, so update your boxes people! https://copy.fail full root access, effectively undetectable, on any machine that runs su. #exploit #linux #patch #onlySafeComputerIsOffTheNetworkAndTurnedOffInALockedRoom

  I just started a message to a colleague with "Can you humour me please - sorry this sounds really childish and I think I already regret asking... but" and now I think i have to resign.
