  • I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.


  • It’s like Alphabet hate guaranteed money.

    “How can we boost the next six months of investment for sake of stable income over the next decade?”

    “More ads. Studies show everyone with internet access fucking loves them.”

    *Brilliant! Welcome to entry level lower senior-ish management, Jenkins."

    “YESSSSS! I can’t wait to tell the family about this when I’m on leave from this wonderfully accommodating work campus. All hail, G.”

    “All hail, G.”










  • I don’t like the lack of customisability. I’ve been using Vivaldi for a long time now and nothing comes close to how customisable and feature-packed it is. Everything can be set up and tweaked exactly how I want. My version of Vivaldi would look, feel, and act entirely different to someone else’s, because it does what I want, not the other way around.

    Unfortunately, it’s Chromium-based. But the developers have been working on its native ad blocker in case extensions are impacted. They’re quite a brilliant bunch, so I’m hoping it all goes smooth. I really don’t want to have to go back to Firefox if I can help it. I can’t stand UX for the masses and these guys get it.
