I was snakily going to suggest a “HTML naked day” to complement both CSS and JS naked day, but then I realise that that’s the default for all modern web frontend development. π

If Alan has a problem, and Brett has a solution, but Brett’s solution is qualified with conditions that can’t be met by Alan, then Alan doesn’t have a solution.
Brett should probably just let go of this fact, rather than criticise Alan for not using his solution because of “conditions”.

π Hiss!
Seeing @Mirazβs post about the Morepork reminded me of this poem by C. J. Dennis that was read to us as a kid. It was in this beautifully illustrated picture book, with thick borders full of, I guess, the illustrations of the subjectβs imagination.

Day 20: ice #mbapr
A small visitor is back, enjoying the sun on my kitchen tiles. π¦
Watched Takashi Wakasugi’s show Japanese Aussie at the comedy festival last night with a few friends. Was quite good. A style of comedy that I really like.
Beanie weatherβs back, baby! π‘οΈ
Thought Iβd celebrate by updating my avatar on Micro.blog.

I got this almost 9 years ago. It’s never been used. #mbapr
Crashing Hemispheric Views #109: HAZCHEM
Okay, maybe not “crashing”, a.la Hey Dingus. But some thoughts did come to me while listening to Hemispheric Views #109: HAZCHEM that I’d though I share with others.
Haircuts
I’m sorry but I cannot disagree more. I don’t really want to talk while I’m getting a haircut. I mean I will if they’re striking up a conversation with me, but I’m generally not there to make new friends; just to get my hair cut quickly and go about my day. I feel this way about taxis too.
I’m Rooted
I haven’t really used “rooted” or “knackered” that much. My goto phrase is “buggered,” as in “oh man, I’m buggered!” or simply just “tired”. I sometimes used “exhausted” when I’m really tired, but there’s just too many syllable in that word for daily use.
Collecting
I’m the same regarding stickers. I received (although not really sought after) stickers from various podcasts and I didn’t know what to do with them. I’ve started keeping them in this journal I never used, and apart from my awful handwriting documenting where they’re from and when I added them, so far it’s been great.
I probably do need to get some HV stickers, though.
A Trash Ad for Zachary
Should check to see if Johnny Decimal got any conversions from that ad in #106. π
Also, here’s a free tag line for your rubbish bags: we put the trash in the bags, not the pods.

I’m going to make the case for Vivaldi. Did you know there’s actually a Pomodoro timer built into Vivaldi? Click the clock on the bottom-right of the status bar to bring it up.
Never used it myself, since I don’t use a Pomodoro timer, but can Firefox do that?!
Once again, a really great listen, as always.
Pro tip: if you’re working with mocks, make sure they’re actually asserting the calls made to them. Otherwise, your buggy code will pass your buggy unit tests with flying colours, and you end up confused when it all falls down during QA verification.
Oh, umβ¦ this is all hypothetical, of course. π€
