Anyone interested in going to this tomorrow night? I’ve got two tickets but we can’t go. I’ll give you a discount. 🙂

This. It enrages me. And don’t even get me started on what I spend on hair dye, when the Snook’s grey hairs simply give him additional gravitas.
Women who wear makeup earn more and are treated better. This has steep costs, in both money and time.

In my never-ending quest to Automate All the Things, I just discovered how to quickly share from The Old Reader straight to your WordPress blog’s post editor using the “Send to” menu below every post. They don’t have WordPress listed in the official documentation, but with some digging I found out the correct URL to use. It’s this:
http://www.yourblogsite.com/wp-admin/press-this.php?u=%{url}&t=%{title}
Just go into your Old Reader settings page and click the “Social” tab. Then plug that URL (replacing your domain, of course) into the form at the bottom of the page and save. Now when you invoke it, you’ll be taken straight to your Press This editing window with the relevant URL and title pre-populated!
The Apple Music Australia playlist creators are KILLING IT.
Waiting for a phone call and starting to suspect this meeting room is a damn Faraday cage.
@julio_ody Hello! I work with @DamonOehlman at Canva. Was hoping to chat to you today about our upcoming tech event. DM me?
@bezthomas Just heard it. So awesome! Thanks to @TheAmpHour and @fbz for the mention. That was my Ignite talk: https://t.co/8H17Hb3VIK 🙂
@eevblog Just heard you talking about my Ignite talk on steganographic knitting in Amp #257! Very cool. I just left a blog comment. 🙂
@fbz Thanks for the follow! Coincidentally, I’m a big supporter of KnitYak and I’m so thrilled you hit the goal. Can’t wait to get my scarf!
@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes I’m going boxing with the guys from work tonight. My first proper exercise in well over a year. Ugh. Dread.
Just got emailed by a recruiter about a frontend dev job, despite not having done it for 6 years. STILL GOT IT, YO.
So that was a total of 4 days elapsed before someone in Russia tried to hack into my new WordPress admin. Is that normal?
@gilmae Ahh, good tip. I knew it changed but didn’t think to redirect it. http://t.co/bJ1CEVZPdW is the new one
@gilmae 301 Redirect added!
@gilmae WordFence caught it. I’ve since reduced the number of bad attempts needed to trigger lockout.

@thomdane Cool. Well, if you’ve got any tips for hardening WP, I’m all ears. 🙂
@thomdane Awesome. I had done 90% of it, but I still picked up a couple things to add. I might be being overly paranoid. 🙂

Hmm. I dislike change for change’s sake, but I do see what they’re going for here. And they got rid of the clunky pagination that always tripped me up. I’ll give it a chance…
As of this morning, we’ve launched a site-wide redesign with three main goals: clean, attractive pages that highlight our best stories; a stronger emphasis on beautiful images; and intuitive navigation and search so you can find what you’re looking for quickly.

Many thanks to my friend Bez for a tip-off on Twitter this morning:
Excited to see a @web_goddess mention in @TheAmpHour #257. “There can’t be two self replicating mitten projects, right?”
I had to go investigate. It turns out The Amp Hour is a weekly podcast about electronics from a guy in Sydney and a guy in Cleveland. In Episode #257 they talked to Fabienne Serrière of KnitYak (which I actually backed and mentioned on the blog a few times in the past). At one point, the Australian host Dave starts talking about steganographic knitting and basically quotes a bunch of stuff from my Ignite talk last March. It happens around the 42:15 mark if you want to listen yourself. Dave also made special mention of the mittens, which reminded me that I hadn’t actually moved that page over from my old web host. (It’s fixed now, which is why you can see it on the blog.)
Very cool! I tweeted at Fabienne and the Amp guys to thank them for the shout-out. If you haven’t seen my Ignite talk, here’s the video:
