I’m very good friends with 25 letters of the alphabet, I don’t know y.

I’ve been making websites on php based content management systems for over 20 years, mostly Wordpress for the last 17, so I’m struggling to understand JAMstack.

On the chance that you’ve made the move recently, how can I understand it better?

Hey, has anyone made a ‘Victoria - Garden State’ into ‘Victoria - Basket State’ joke yet?

Is this the future of the media? Hot topic opinion pieces by people who don’t exist.

Anyone else in beta club?

It feels really nice and normal to hear flights back into Gold Cost Airport this afternoon.

There’s a new episode of my podcast out, and honestly, I’m pretty bloody proud of it.

Just search for ‘Rebels Guide’ in your podcast app and you should find something around the lines of ‘The Rebels Guide To Getting Married’.

What is a Virtual Wedding Fair? Here’s a snippet of the most recent Rebels Guide To Getting Married talking about it.

Good news everybody, the people in charge of time have decided to not make 2020 one second longer than it has to be. That’s the kind of leadership 2020 needs.

I think it’s time someone called 7-Eleven on their shit. They are open way outside those hours.

The real cost of the travel restrictions is in my sunglasses acquisition and ownership strategy,

Every Bali trip I buy a collection of knock-off Ray Bans and then slowly lose them or break them inbetween trips.

Be warned that despite the name, the Disney+ production ‘Hamilton’ has absolutely nothing to do with the Whitsundays island, and instead seems to be about a man who literally published a book about his own sex scandal.

Is this an Alan Jones advertisement or a reportage of a sad story about Alan Jones?

I’ve got $10 on a Wodonga win, because they have zombies.

I've been pwned, and my password used to be becool88

This screenshot contains two passwords I used to use, maybe 10 years ago. The username and passwords were released in a data dump, and because I am registered with haveibeenpwned.com they let me know today.

I haven’t used those passwords for ages, because I now use a password manager - 1Password - which generates unique passwords for each website I use.

I’m a smart guy, and I know if I’m being scammed or phished, but sometime in the past decade or so I was had - and that that username and password is now available to the general public.

Two things I’d love for you to take away from this:

  1. This is why it’s important to have unique passwords for every service, because if one service is breached, then the potential fallout for you personally is limited to that one company. If you use the same username and password for everything, then if one company is breached, hackers now have access to all of your websites and logons.
  2. Have a look through the publicly available list of usernames and passwords just to get a feel of how unique your password for all of your life is.
