Note #20517

Was a 10th century speaker of Old Saxon a “Saxophone”? 🤔

Note #20304

After talking about impulse control, our “puppy school” OABT half-jokingly issued homework to photograph our dogs waiting patiently next to their initial, written in treats. #holdmybeer

Note #20176

Hey @VOXI_UK! There’s a security #vulnerability in your website. An attacker can (a) exfiltrate mobile numbers and (b) authenticate bypassing OTP.

Not sure who to talk to about ethical disclosure. Let me know?

Reassuring to see that @Firefox’s datetime-local implementation is year 100,000 compliant. 😂 #Y100K

Almost nerdsniped myself when I discovered several #WordPress plugins that didn’t quite do what I needed. Considered writing an overarching one to “solve” the problem. Then I remembered @xkcd comic 927…

Note #20096

Time is an illusion. School drop-off time doubly so. #towelday

“Walking” the dog

Brought Demmy out on the school run for her first “walk”, this morning.

Note #19862

I know what it means, but my inner child still sniggers every time I see Animista‘s effect “kenburns-bottom“.

Note #19832

Every time I log in to HackerOne my brain pronounces it to rhyme with “pepperoni”. That’s normal, right?

Note #19786

@robertalanwatts thanks for your Gandi Catch-All Email Forwarding Workaround (https://robsblog.robertwatts.com/2020/02/25/gandi-catchall-email-address-work-around/); very helpful!

Note #19777

The comprehensive @id3 v2 system for #MP3 metadata doesn’t seem to have an “explicit content” flag. I’m using an experimental XRAT frame (with a ‘1’ or ‘0’) for now, but I wonder if anyone’s already “solved” this in a better way?

Note #19700

How did it take me years of working-from-home before I thought to install one of these in my desk? Brilliant.

Note for Future Dan: if you want Firefox’s picture-in-picture (popout video) mode to be available for videos of less than 45 seconds, the setting you need is media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.min-video-secs. This is useful if you’ve got a playlist of multiple short clips (which reuse the same <video> element) that you want to treat as a single long video for the purpose of picture-in-picture.

Note #19590

Called @Tesco Abingdon for a #flujab but fell down a black hole in their menu system. Had to choose the “continue to hold” option several times… and then nobody answered anyway…

Note #19581

Today is “superhero day” for nursery/reception, so I continued my effort to straddle the line between being a fun #parent and an embarassing parent line by dropping the kids off like this:
