Late start but I got sleep so I’m calling it a win.

Checking mail at #pnwphp because Comcast was out at home. Yay!

“Do not refactor a broken application.” - @adamculp at #pnwphp

Ahhh, that’s what I keep doing wrong.

Listening to @dead_lugosi talk about building a MMORPG w/Symfony2, including the “learning Symfony2 enough to make a MMORPG” part at #pnwphp

Covering design, code, user interface, user/developer relations, etc. and she’s not done yet. @dead_lugosi’s talk is my favorite of #pnwphp

“No I’m gonna get it done! I’m gonna get it done! I didn’t get it done.” - @dead_lugosi on estimates #pnwphp

I’m in this neighborhood for #PNWPHP so of course I’m stopping by the waterfall park at some point.

This invitation to make noise by banging metal things together simultaneously fascinates and terrifies me.

Writing a Python script to rearrange my Jekyll posts for a Hugo experiment.

You can do things two ways: the easy way or my way.

“I love being able to control my audience. Now say flapjacks.” “Flapjacks.” “Somebody said it!”

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 13:50

Getting PHP v3 era site nostalgia from @SaraMG. Loved that cartoon search pop up. #pnwphp

“PHP’s design philosophy is … just solve it.” - @SaraMG on the fractal of bad design #PNWPHP

Wanting to check out HHVM, PHP 7, and Hack because of @SaraMG #PNWPHP

“Type systems exist to make code comprehensible to humans” - @ircmaxell at #pnwphp

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 14:40

“However, a type system you can’t trust is worse than one that doesn’t exist.” - @ircmaxell at #pnwphp

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 14:53

Java (nullable types) as classic example of type system you do not trust - @ircmaxell at #pnwphp

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 14:59

declare(strict_types=1); # add(int,int) <- add(1.5, 2.5) is an error - @ircmaxell talking about types in PHP #pnwphp

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 15:03

Use weak mode on the edges (more unknown), and strict mode in the center (more known). Both modes are useful - @ircmaxell #pnwphp

Getting my Fitbit steps in by finding the way back from the restroom at #pnwphp.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 15:52

I must admit @grmpyprogrammer talking about test smells reminds me about my own odiferous work & hobby tests.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 17:34

Pretty much pudding for brains at this point.

Mmmm pudding.

The community didn’t ding you for being wrong. They dinged you for being pigheaded about being wrong. - @CalEvans at #pnwphp

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 18:25

The @CalEvans #pnwphp talk is one of the better sermons I’ve seen in some time.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 19:15

1998 - 2014: 0 confs. 2015: 3 confs. Each leaves me wanting to try one more. Glad I went to #pnwphp.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 19:27

Switched that Python script to a Perl script because I missed File::Find::Rule.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 20:26

I’ll check CPAN when I get home. Sounds like something in the Perl Acme space.

Sort of a social interaction overload. Can’t tell if people are speaking English unless I concentrate. It all sounds vaguely Dutch.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 20:41

Thing is - even if you say nothing, being in a committed crowd is still social interaction. Costs brain.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 21:48

I have no idea what I’m doing, but I enjoy doing it and nothing important has exploded yet.

Twitter: 2015-09-12 Sat 21:59

Ah, the perfect Saturday. Tasty beverage, public radio, and a text-wrangling Perl script.

Post #PNWPHP laptop stickering. Very important.
